After Setting Me Up with My Ex, the Cool A Regretted It

[Chapter comments are open. My new novel, Custom Voice Messages Accidentally Overheard by My Straight Stepsister, is currently updating. Online, she's a shameless flirt, but in real life she's a timid coward. The little sister is a top who loves to tease, and the older sister is a mature, reserved type who is very good at holding back. The blurb is at the bottom. If you're interested, come visit my author page and add it to your collection. Kisses!] Aloof, wealthy younger Alpha x gentle, slow-witted designer kitty Omega Shi Li and her Beta girlfriend, Wen Yue, had been in love for years when Shi Li was suddenly told that Wen Yue was getting engaged to someone else. On the eve of the engagement, the cool-looking fiancee showed up at Shi Li's door and tossed a card in front of her. "I'm Wen Yue's fiancee. There's ten billion in this account." Shi Li: Am I really getting the chance to take the money and leave? How lucky can I get? The fiancee said, "No. I want you to stay by Wen Yue's side, and preferably marry her." Shi Li: ... This wasn't how she'd imagined it. But that was an awful lot of money! Zhu Yunqi's dream was to become the Federation's finest mecha pilot. But her family had arranged her engagement to a Beta from another prominent clan, who demanded she give up her military post and return to run the family business. Zhu Yunqi didn't want to give up her career for an engagement. At a loss for what to do, she learned that her fiancee had an Omega girlfriend she'd been dating for years. Overjoyed, Zhu Yunqi vowed to do whatever it took to make sure the two of them stayed together! If they stayed together, she wouldn't have to get married. Zhu Yunqi did everything she could to give them opportunities. She sent flowers when they went on dates, and whenever Shi Li liked something, Zhu Yunqi bought it at once and showered her with gifts in Wen Yue's name. Seeing Shi Li happy made Zhu Yunqi smile at first, too. She thought everything was going according to plan. But little by little, she found it harder and harder to smile. She also discovered, quite by accident, that her pheromone compatibility with Shi Li was approaching one hundred percent. At first, Zhu Yunqi only thought Shi Li was a pretty Omega. Then she thought Shi Li had terrible taste. How could she be interested in Wen Yue? And then... Zhu Yunqi kissed the overheated Omega, marking her again and again with a brand that belonged to her alone. Shi Li wrapped her arms around Zhu Yunqi's waist, enveloped in the sweet yet bitter scent of orange wood pheromones, and trembled softly. "Yunqi, didn't you say you didn't like me?" The Alpha's possessiveness and baser instincts were laid bare. Zhu Yunqi knew she was really a madwoman. "Omegas belong to Alphas. You and I were made for each other, Li Li." Reader's Guide: * A slight interstellar setting, lots of original worldbuilding, no accessories. * Mutual pining, happy ending, two-year age gap, though the Alpha doesn't really act like the younger one. * The leads are imperfect and both have flaws. * Not both virgins. The bottom has an ex. Blurb for my next novel: Ming Fei has a crush on her stepsister, Fu Zhisu. The good news: Fu Zhisu is a doting older sister who puts Ming Fei above everyone else. The bad news: Fu Zhisu is straight. The moon hangs high in the sky, shining on me alone. But to the moon, I'm only a little sister. Terrified that Fu Zhisu might find out and that they would no longer even be sisters, Ming Fei didn't dare cross the line. Then one day, she happened to spot a post on Fu Zhisu's phone offering custom voice messages. Her long-buried crush began to stir. She messaged Fu Zhisu from an alt account: "Teacher, are you still taking orders for mature woman voice messages?" Fu Zhisu: "I am. Two yuan per character. Just send the script and instructions in writing." Ming Fei, her heart pounding, typed: "Xiaofei is so soft. Can you kiss your little sister again?" That night, she listened through her headphones to her sister's breathy kisses and shamefully let her imagination run wild. Behind the screen, Ming Fei grew bolder and bolder, trying mature woman voices, first-love voices, queenly voices, and everything in between. The scripts grew more and more outrageous, too. [Why won't Xiaofei wear a collar? Bad puppies get punished, you know.] [Look at me. Good girl. Are you rubbing against me because you want attention?] [Xiaofei, I can love you.] The greater the intimacy, the deeper the loneliness afterward, but Ming Fei couldn't stop. She edited all the voice messages together into one recording, saved it on her phone as dream material, and listened while imagining her sister fucking her senseless. Not even the day Fu Zhisu came home for the holiday was an exception. Ming Fei turned off the lights, burrowed under the covers, and played her dream material. After a while, she realized there was no sound. Before she could figure out what was wrong, someone knocked on her door. Fu Zhisu stood outside, her voice low and hoarse. "Xiaofei, open the door. Your Bluetooth headphones... connected to the wrong device." I'm doomed! What do I do now that my straight stepsister heard my custom voice messages? "Sis, let me explain! I... I have a friend!" Ming Fei had no idea whether Fu Zhisu believed her terrible lie. Then she accidentally stumbled upon Fu Zhisu's diary. [I don't understand why Xiaofei is always so affectionate with me. Do straight girls all act like this? I only know that we can't be together. Xiaofei thinks of me as her sister. If she finds out I want to devour her, she'll be scared and run away. Xiaofei can't run away.] [Today a girl named Xiaofei came to see me. I didn't want to take her order, but the things she requested were exactly what I want to do to Xiaofei. I can imagine she's Xiaofei.] [Xiaofei likes my lipstick, so I gave it all to her. When she puts it on, it's like I'm licking her lips. Ah, please, put on more. You can put it there, too.] [Why would Xiaofei order voice messages like that???????] Ming Fei stumbled back and fell to the floor. Could a straight girl really write a diary like this? Fu Zhisu had approached without her noticing, her gaze as turbulent and inscrutable as an underground river. "After reading all that, do you still dare... fantasize about me like that?" ---Bonus scene--- At night, Ming Fei lay stiff as a board in her sister's arms, her clothes half-undone and the corners of her eyes red. She was so happy she could burst. "What would you like to hear tonight?" Fu Zhisu bit her ear. Ming Fei nearly fainted. "I want to hear your real voice... saying you love Xiaofei, and only Xiaofei." "Xiaofei, you're all mine. And I'm all yours." [Pure sweetness, no angst, mutual pining, older top, contemporary setting] Theme: Be brave and pursue love.
