The Substitute Beta Woos Three Alphas at Once

(A heads-up: The heroine grows and changes over the course of the story.)

Ji Nuan transmigrates as a Beta, and the System tells her she's a stand-in for an Omega who ran away.

System: "You can go home once all three Alpha male leads have favorability ratings of 100."

Taking her stand-in duties seriously, Ji Nuan finds an online friend who claims to be the Omega's close friend and carefully studies the Omega's every word and action.

She thoughtfully creates a different kind of stand-in tailored to each Alpha, doing her utmost to perform in front of them.

Everything goes smoothly until the Omega suddenly returns.

Ji Nuan thinks her mission is about to fail, but the three Alphas abandon the Omega and come looking for her one after another.

In the mecha training room, the brooding young genius corners her against the wall, eyes red-rimmed, his pheromones enveloping the Beta with overwhelming force.

Ji Nuan comforts him. "Don't be afraid. I'm here."

The young man pulls her into his arms. "My little sun, you'll always belong to me."

In the temple, the haughty child of the gods toys with the Beta's finger bones. Beneath the gentle spring-breeze softness of his pheromones lies a yearning on the verge of madness.

Ji Nuan teasingly hooks a finger under his chin. "Don't hold back. You want me, don't you?"

The child of the gods presses a restrained kiss to her palm.

The irreverent prince lounges lazily on the sofa, but the way he grips the Beta's hand gives everything away.

Ji Nuan obediently holds out a teacup and smiles warmly at him. "Thank you for protecting me."

The prince's lips curl into a smile. He can't help tightening his arm around her, fighting the urge to tear apart this white lotus.

Unable to mark a Beta, the proud Alphas cut out their own hearts and offer them to Ji Nuan in earnest, proving their love.

But the next day, Ji Nuan vanishes without a trace.

The three top Alphas of the Alliance finally lose their minds and search every inch of the Alliance.

Ji Nuan, hiding away with the heartstones in her hands: "Great, let's thank the Omega. Whoever wants to be a stand-in can do it. I'm done."

As Ji Nuan revels in the joy of completing her mission, the online friend who provided her with information, also her neighbor next door, gazes at her innocently with a face exactly like the Omega's. "Big sis, where are you going?"

Next up: historical romance, The Scheming Prince Consort Has No Choice but to Marry. Below is the preorder blurb.

Career-minded heroine | Jealous hero | Falls in love without realizing it * Loves her madly and gets insanely jealous | Mystery-solving plot with a touch of court intrigue

Straightforward princess with power over the court × scheming, lovestruck, secretly in love top scholar

Heroine's Perspective

The princess, who controls the court and keeps three thousand male companions, forcibly marries the top scholar in the street.

On their wedding night, red candles burn bright.

Xue Yuanzhao lifts Cui Zhe's chin. "Now that you've been in my bed, don't think you're getting out."

They spend the night in passion.

The top scholar hangs himself with white silk, so ashamed he could die in front of those three thousand male companions.

The libertine princess dismisses all her male companions, and everyone in the capital says the prince consort is jealous and the princess dotes only on him.

Only Xue Yuanzhao knows it's all an act put on by her and the prince consort, a grand performance staged to seize power.

She thinks they each have their own motives.

She desires the top scholar's beauty, while Cui Zhe gets to climb higher and higher by attaching himself to her.

She never once considers that all of this is one person's sincere devotion.

Hero's Perspective

Cui Zhe can't forget the day he was abducted in the street. Xue Yuanzhao's hair brushed against his nose, and the scent of soap mixed with rouge bewitched him.

On their wedding night, the woman he loves pins him to the bed, leans close to his ear, and whispers tenderly as they do all manner of outrageous things.

He holds the slender waist in his hands, longing for his beloved to show him affection.

The world says Xue Yuanzhao is lewd and cruel, but to him, she is simply true to herself.

The world laughs that he has lost the pride of a top scholar, never knowing that he risked his life to obtain evidence of the Dowager Consort's treason.

One fleeting glance in his youth was all it took for Cui Zhe to fall deeply in love.

For that glance, he schemed his way into becoming the prince consort, so he could stand openly by Xue Yuanzhao's side.

For her sake, he was willing to be her stepping stone and the sword in her hand.
