Synopsis:

1. During tennis class, Li Shiyi beats a classmate until they are covered in blood. In the dean’s office, no parent arrives. Instead, the sharp click of high heels rings out.

The woman wears a pearl-white pantsuit with a slightly open collar and a collarbone deep enough to raise fish in. She pinches a business card between her fingers and holds it out. “Su Nianqing, executive assistant in the president’s office at Lixiang Group.”

Li Shiyi assumes the woman wants to become her stepmother. She studies the gold-embossed card several times but doesn’t take it.

She kindly warns her, “Lixiang Group belongs to my grandmother. Don’t let that scumbag trick you.”

The woman smiles at that and turns to leave.

2. After Li Shiyi is injured in an accident, the two begin living together for a short time. She soon forgets all about the woman becoming her stepmother. There’s only one thing on Li Shiyi’s mind: she wants this woman to stay by her side.

On the night of her eighteenth birthday, the newly adult girl pins the woman against the floor-to-ceiling window and kisses her, both reverently and recklessly. Her voice trembling, she pleads, “I don’t know how, Su Nianqing. Teach me...”

Outside the window, the city lights shimmer. Inside, the woman’s dark hair spills in disarray, desire surging in her eyes. Her pale neck is covered in red marks from the puppy who doesn’t know her own strength.

Unable to bear it any longer, she reaches out and takes the girl’s burning hand, guiding it along the curves of her body.

The next day, Li Shiyi wakes in a bed still steeped in the scent of their intimacy. The space beside her is already cold. She runs her fingers over the marks the woman left the night before and smiles. “What a bad woman. She slept with me and ran...”

Li Shiyi follows her to the office and begins learning to use her status to keep Su Nianqing by her side, entangling her day and night.

3. A few months later, Su Nianqing takes over the company as it teeters on the brink, wresting it from that brat. Then, with her own hands, she sends her puppy overseas.

They don’t see each other again for years. Only Su Nianqing’s secretary knows that every month, there are always two days when President Su flies abroad. She doesn’t stay long after landing. She simply stands beneath a certain apartment building and gazes quietly at the light in one particular window.

4. Years later, Lixiang Group rises from the ashes.

The balance of power shifts. On a rainy night, Su Nianqing takes in the little wolf pup who has been wandering for years.

By day, the woman wears a sharp suit. At night, she undoes her blouse one button at a time and curls a finger at her now-grown lover. “Come here.”

“Pay me back for everything you owe me all these years, with interest, one thing at a time.”

Coming soon: Transmigrated as a Cannon-Fodder Alpha, Fighting and Snatching

A smart, calm, capable, frosty beauty Omega x an Alpha who only wants to survive and steal someone’s partner

1. Xie Li transmigrates as a rich heiress. She barely gets to enjoy the good life before the apocalypse arrives.

Zombies run wild through the school, biting people indiscriminately. In a panic, she is yanked into a storage room by a woman she doesn’t know.

The door locks. Outside, zombies slam against it. Inside, a beautiful woman leans against the wall, cheeks flushed as she struggles to catch her breath.

She lifts her dewy eyes to Xie Li and rasps, “Come here. Mark me.”

Xie Li braces herself against the door, her throat tight as she tries to keep her distance.

The woman pants, her gaze sharp. “If you don’t want to die, give me a temporary mark.”

With their lives hanging in the balance, Xie Li closes her eyes and leans in, biting the woman’s reddened gland.

Once they escape the chaos, the woman pushes her away and lowers her head to straighten her wrinkled shirt. Her features are cool, and her voice is calm again. “It was an emergency. There’s no need to take it to heart.”

2. Only later does Xie Li learn that she has transmigrated into a harem novel. The woman she temporarily marked is the female lead, Omega Jin Zhaoye. Jin Zhaoye already has someone else destined to be her partner, and Xie Li is only a cannon-fodder character who won’t survive past the third episode.

The next time Xie Li sees Jin Zhaoye abandoned by her team leader and nursing her heartbreak, she quietly draws near and whispers in the woman’s ear, “I’m no worse than her. Why not find someone else to like?”

Jin Zhaoye looks at her for a few seconds, then smiles faintly, loops an arm around Xie Li’s neck, and kisses her.

They kiss in secluded corners, hold hands while on watch, and shield each other when danger strikes.

Xie Li never asks what she means to Jin Zhaoye, and Jin Zhaoye never tells her.

3. The day the zombie horde smashes through the base gates, Jin Zhaoye rushes without hesitation toward the team leader.

Xie Li watches the woman’s retreating back grow smaller and gives a self-mocking smile. Cannon fodder really doesn’t live long. Forget it. She can’t win, so she’ll stop trying.

She closes her eyes and lets the zombie horde swallow her.
