Playing Sweet and Innocent, the Sister-in-Law Falls for Me

The blurb for my upcoming novel, Forced to Pretend to Be an Alpha and Marry an Actress Omega by Contract, is below.

After being reborn, Zhong Manjing walked into the little noodle shop where Lin Yuqing was hiding.

In three months, Lin Yuqing would be found, tortured in every way, and turned into her nominal sister-in-law.

She planned to disguise herself as prey, take her brother's fiancée away, and keep her for herself.

Even if Lin Yuqing was straight, she still had to give it a try.

Later, Lin Yuqing regained her identity and took over the family business. A pampered little canary appeared at her side.

She gave her the best food and drink and protected her, then eventually gave her a legitimate place by her side. The Zhong family went bankrupt, but Zhong Manjing ended up living an even more extravagant life than before.

Lin Yuqing's only condition was that she stay obediently by her side.

But Zhong Manjing refused to do as Lin Yuqing wished. Like a cat with its claws out, she bit and scratched.

When their fights got most heated, Lin Yuqing was equally rough with her.

Eventually, Lin Yuqing gave in and pressed a restrained kiss to the corner of her eye.

"No more fighting, okay? I'll give you anything."

What began as a game Lin Yuqing was sure to win ended up becoming a cage she willingly entered herself.

Before the wedding, Lin Yuqing suddenly fainted at home, and her private medical team came to examine her.

Clutching her plane ticket, Zhong Manjing cried so hard her face was streaked with tears. "Are you terminally ill? Why are you sending me away? Doctor, will my wife still be able to do it afterward?"

Lin Yuqing was silent for a moment. "Baby, I'm just getting my appendix removed, not losing a hand. Besides, I can still..."

The doctors and nurses: "..."

"Shameless! Don't say another word!" Zhong Manjing glared at the feather teaser in Lin Yuqing's fingers, blushed, and refused to look at her.

Forced to Pretend to Be an Alpha and Marry an Actress Omega by Contract

Xu Mifei knew she had entered the world of an ABO novel, but she was a beta.

Let's be reasonable: in this kind of situation, a cannon fodder character usually doesn't make it past three episodes.

The protagonist in the book, Jiang Lingyu, was a top-tier omega. Her pheromones could seduce anyone, but there was no Alpha whose pheromones were compatible with hers.

To satisfy her vanity, the original Xu Mifei pretended to be an Alpha and stole the engagement between the original Alpha and Jiang Lingyu. After the wedding, she revealed her true nature and tormented Jiang Lingyu. She even sent the omega, in heat, into a room filled with Alpha pheromones to force her to submit. Later, she personally cut out Jiang Lingyu's glands just to vent her anger... In the end, the beloved darling of Heaven fell and became an obsessive, mad beauty, taking revenge on the entire Xu family and destroying it.

When Xu Mifei opened her eyes, she was already at her engagement banquet. Jiang Lingyu was tied up in front of her, her eyes bloodshot, while the whole room was saturated with pheromones.

The flushed woman looked at her with nothing but hatred. "Don't come any closer. Get out!"

Xu Mifei said earnestly, "Um, let me be honest with you. I'm a beta. I only bit you earlier because I was being a psycho. I'm fine now."

Omega: "...?"

*

Later, during the omega's heat, Xu Mifei couldn't hold back and sank her teeth into the vulnerable gland, drawing out all of Jiang Lingyu's pheromones. The omega cried uncontrollably.

The next day, overwhelmed with guilt, Xu Mifei was about to bring up divorcing the omega when she fainted.

When she woke up, two major things had happened.

First: She had secondarily differentiated into an Alpha.

Second: Her pheromones were 99% compatible with Jiang Lingyu's. They were born unable to resist each other.

*

Jiang Lingyu had lived a difficult life since childhood, dependent on others, and had struggled to make a name for herself. She hated all Alphas equally. To her, being attracted to their pheromones was nothing but a disgusting animal instinct.

Until she met Xu Mifei. She envied the freedom of a beta, who never had to worry about pheromones.

Later, she came to hate that freedom.

Because all she wanted was to keep Xu Mifei right in front of her, feeling her lips and teeth claim her trembling gland.

Jiang Lingyu had a secret: as a top-tier omega, her pheromones could affect not only Alphas and omegas, but betas too.

Theme: Even in adversity, remember to face life with care.
