I'll Steal My Own Wife [Quick Transmigration]

Yun Xi was born cold and distant, with little capacity for affection. Unfortunately, her good fortune didn't last long. To stay alive, she has to collect Regret Points to extend her life.

Every time she goes out to collect them, she runs into a woman who has either fled from a wedding or been jilted at the altar.

If the bride runs away, Yun Xi takes her in.

Yun Xi: "What do you mean she was jilted? My wife just fell right out of the sky."

World One: Modern ABO. Poor, meek Alpha top x proud Omega heiress

Yun Xi is a weak Alpha, a poor student who moves out of school and starts sharing an apartment.

Her roommate is an art student in the fine arts department, with expensive but understated clothes and a melancholy air. An A-rank Alpha, she is the academy's most popular Alpha, worlds apart from Yun Xi, who comes from a small town, buries herself in her books, and wears thick glasses.

Whenever she gets drunk, the roommate Alpha complains to Yun Xi about her domineering fiancee of many years, who wants to control everything and makes life miserable for a poor little Alpha like her.

Yun Xi looks at her roommate's designer clothes and the bag tossed on the floor.

She says languidly, "Then why don't you call off the engagement?"

The thoroughly drunk roommate Alpha waves a hand smugly. "You wouldn't understand."

Then one day, Yun Xi wakes to the loud sound of knocking. Several tall Alphas stand outside, surrounding a proud Omega like stars around the moon.

Yun Xi stares in surprise. The Omega is wearing a wedding dress and exquisite makeup, like a bride who has just walked out of a bustling wedding venue.

She adjusts her glasses. "Who are you looking for?"

Although they'd never met, Yun Xi has a faint premonition that this is her roommate's domineering fiancee.

The bejeweled Omega lifts her chin. "My wife!"

Only then does Yun Xi learn that her roommate ran away from the wedding in the middle of the night.

To catch the Alpha who abandoned her wedding without permission, Lin Wei Rui decides to move into her roommate Alpha's vacant room and live under the same roof as Yun Xi.

Yun Xi doesn't mind. Even if Lin Wei Rui buys the apartment, a sale doesn't break a lease, so she can stay without worry.

Just as her roommate Alpha said, the fiancee is domineering and proud, and can't stand the slightest imperfection. She wants to control everything that enters her line of sight.

As the heir to a top family, Lin Wei Rui has always gotten her way.

Her first major setback in life is the fiancee she had been raised alongside, who ran away just as Lin Wei Rui's heat was approaching.

Her second is her cool, unyielding roommate.

There are plenty of things about the other woman that Lin Wei Rui can't stand. At the top of the list are her broken glasses, held together with tape.

Claiming they are an eyesore, Lin Wei Rui sets a new glasses case down in front of Yun Xi. "Put these on. Your old glasses are hideous."

Yun Xi puts them on without a word. Her prescription is strong, and getting a new pair would cost a lot of money and time. No point turning down a free pair.

Lin Wei Rui finds this quite surprising. She had expected Yun Xi to be like her former fiancees, who looked down on her for being obsessed with money and always trying to buy people off.

Curious, Lin Wei Rui starts giving her more and more things. Yun Xi accepts them all, like a hamster filling up its room.

Her roommate Alpha still hasn't returned when Lin Wei Rui's heat suddenly hits early.

The sweet pheromones of a top Omega fill the entire apartment. Lin Wei Rui is curled up in a corner of her room when Yun Xi comes home late and finds her.

Yun Xi gathers the trembling woman in her arms and finds several empty suppressant syringes.

"They're no use. My constitution is special, and I can't suppress it anymore." Lin Wei Rui lets Yun Xi hold her obediently. "Too bad you're a weak Alpha. You can't mark me."

Yun Xi tightens her arms around her and kisses the woman's ear. "Who says I'm a weak Alpha?"

After spending all her savings, the roommate Alpha slinks back to find her fiancee.

She doesn't get to see her. Her former poor roommate blocks her way.

Yun Xi stands before her former roommate with her arms crossed, cool and composed, as if she's become an entirely different person.

The roommate she once looked down on is now far beyond her reach.

The down-and-out Alpha stares at her in disbelief. "Move. I have to find my fiancee."

Yun Xi: "What fiancee? She's my wife."

Roommate Alpha: "???"
