A Milky Orange-Flavored Omega Becomes Famous Through a Dating Show [Entertainment Circle] - Chapter 1

Ding ding——

A sharp alarm rang in her ears. Zhong Lin lazily rolled over. Her long, curled eyelashes trembled slightly as she slowly opened her eyes. Her brown eyes were still hazy with sleep. She kicked the blanket away with her fair, slender legs.

Zhong Lin sat up slowly and looked around. To her right was a window with the curtains half-drawn, letting in sunlight that was a bit blinding. To her left was a white wardrobe. On the bedside table sat a half-drunk glass of water and a phone.

The environment felt completely unfamiliar. Zhong Lin tilted her head slightly. Perhaps because she got up too quickly, her head was throbbing faintly.

Where… the hell am I?!

Zhong Lin shook her little head. Her messy bangs, which had been flattened awkwardly by her sleeping position, bounced around as she shook. Her memories were gradually returning…

Her name was Zhong Lin. She was the youngest cub of the Bai Ze divine beast clan, sealed by the heavenly master Zhong Kui. While floating in chaos, she was struck by a burst of white light and forcibly pulled into what seemed like an illusion.

In that illusion, she was reading a book titled After the Green Tea Male Omega Climbed to the Top, I Became Hugely Popular. There was a character in the book named Zhong Lin.

This person shared the exact same name as her and looked identical to her human form.

However, the elders in her clan had always said that Zhong Lin was the youngest and cutest cub of the Bai Ze clan! Yet the Zhong Lin in this book was just an ordinary human.

Zhong Lin carefully recalled the plot of the book.

First of all, this was a female Alpha × male Omega novel. Humans were divided into six genders: Male A, Male B, Male O, Female A, Female B, and Female O.

In short, it was a highly liberal society with equal rights for all six genders.

In this era, technology was extremely advanced. After people’s basic material needs were satisfied, they began pursuing spiritual fulfillment, which led to the development of the entertainment industry ecosystem.

The Zhong Lin in the book was a low-tier internet celebrity trying to break into the entertainment circle.

The company she signed with arranged for her to participate in an AO dating variety show called Thirty-One Days of Heartbeat Challenge. It featured Male A, Female A, Male O, and Female O — a free love variety show between Alphas and Omegas.

The Zhong Lin in the book had no brains. Despite being simple-minded and clumsy, she loved to act spoiled, was extremely self-centered, never did any work, constantly dissed others, and shamelessly threw herself at the female lead Alpha…

She single-handedly served as a foil to highlight the male lead Omega’s kindness and cuteness.

The male lead Omega was a delicate flower that made people want to cherish him, while Zhong Lin was the annoying weed people wanted to pull out.

She even recommended her close friend, a civilian male Omega, to join the Thirty-One Days of Heartbeat Challenge program. Every time she acted willfully and caused drama, the male lead Omega would desperately defend her, making himself look pure, unaffected, kind, and beautiful.

After recalling the entire plot, Zhong Lin felt that the original owner was quite pitiful. But the way the original owner acted like a drama queen and tried to blow up the entire dating show ceiling made her a ultimate villainess.

This male lead Omega was her high school classmate. He always indulged her, thought she was right no matter what, and never corrected her behavior. As a result, her emotional intelligence had been twisted into a complete mess.

A scheming princess in daily life was just a willful little princess.

But on a dating variety show, every expression and action would be infinitely magnified and overanalyzed, making her seem both vicious and stupid.

Naturally, such a foolish original owner didn’t succeed in debuting. After the show aired, she was mocked across the entire internet. The wave of hate comments was overwhelming. The company blacklisted her, and the resulting “Zhong Lin” fell into severe depression before jumping off a tall building — delivering a massive Bad Ending.

After sorting out her thoughts, Zhong Lin picked up her phone. It was 6:30 AM. It was still early. The program team required everyone to gather at 7:30 AM.

Zhong Lin got out of bed and took out a stylish white off-shoulder shirt and a pair of denim shorts from the wardrobe.

The denim shorts were just above the knee, making her legs look long, straight, and refreshing.

After changing, Zhong Lin went to the bathroom to wash up. She dampened her messy bangs and combed them neatly. She glanced at the various bottles and jars on the sink, opened a few, and sniffed them. Her eyes became a little dazed.

As a Bai Ze divine beast, she had no idea how to use these modern cosmetics. They looked nothing like the ones from ancient times.

…She couldn’t use them at all!

(╬◣д◢) So annoying! Fine, no makeup then!

However, perhaps because the original body belonged to a divine beast, Zhong Lin’s bare face was breathtakingly beautiful. Even without any makeup, her small face was fair as porcelain with a perfect natural blush. Her eyebrows were delicate, her eyelashes thick and long as if carefully drawn, and her lips were a lovely light pink.

Zhong Lin walked straight out the door.

How could she change her doomed Bad Ending?

Zhong Lin felt the solution was to tackle the root of the problem.

The “Zhong Lin” in the original book was self-centered, didn’t do any work, loved to diss others, and desperately clung to the female lead Alpha…

Couldn’t she just do the complete opposite?

First, she should do some work. The elders in her clan always said that hardworking cubs are the cutest (^▽^)~

“Excuse me, is there anything I can help with?” Zhong Lin walked up to a staff member who was setting up the scene.

A girl in a pink-and-white striped shirt stopped. Without looking at who was speaking, she assumed it was a temporary worker. Carrying a wooden box with both hands, she jerked her chin and said:

“Take that box over there to the first room on the left in the lobby on the first floor.”

If the staff member had looked up at Zhong Lin’s face at this moment, she would have been shocked. Just two days ago when this person joined the program, she was the type who couldn’t lift with her shoulders or hands and never did any manual labor…

The staff member suddenly warned: “Be careful, it’s heavy…”

“Okay.” Zhong Lin bent down and lifted the heavy wooden box full of props with one hand.

Staff member: “……” I’m stunned.

By the time Zhong Lin had carried the third box, she faintly heard someone calling her name in the lobby.

A tall girl wearing an oversized trendy T-shirt that almost covered her thighs and extremely short hot pants stood by the sofa.

This cool girl who radiated strong Alpha energy frowned and asked impatiently, “Why isn’t Zhong Lin here again?”

A girl in a white dress looked worried: “I don’t know… She lives next door to me. Her door has been closed the whole time. Xiao Duo, why don’t you go check on her?”

A boy dressed in a Japanese-style outfit, wearing light khaki shorts that reached his knees and showing slender calves, looked toward Zhong Lin’s room and blinked innocently: “I knocked on her door for a long time this morning, but she didn’t respond.”

“Is it my fault? I didn’t wake her up in time. Should I go call her again?”

Another tall, handsome boy in casual wear stood straight like a pine tree and subtly curled his lip: “Xiao Duo, you’re the only one who keeps spoiling her!!”

…

In short, the male Omega called “Xiao Duo” was none other than the male lead, Zhou Xiao Duo. He was currently subtly mocking Zhong Lin for “deliberately” being late, while the others joined in to ridicule her.

Zhong Lin was full of question marks. No one had knocked on her door at all?

“Hi…” Zhong Lin held the box with one hand, turned around, and waved with her other arm to greet the group.

At the same time, the camera on the tea table in the lobby turned toward her. The live broadcast had quietly started.

On the video app, the bullet comments were going crazy——

【Zhong Lin actually woke up? The legendary sleepyhead and chronic latecomer actually got up?!】

【No way. I don’t believe it. This can’t be that weird-looking Zhong Lin with the huge, deformed eyes and eyelashes sticking out of her eyelids!】

【How did she suddenly become like this? Did she get plastic surgery? Why does she look so cute now???】

【Shocking my entire family. Let’s see how the dating show’s number one drama queen — Zhong Lin — continues to stir up trouble…】

【Zhong Lin, get out of the entertainment industry】

【Zhong Lin, get out of the entertainment industry +1】

【Zhong Lin, get out of the entertainment industry +10086】

…

Zhou Xiao Duo waved at Zhong Lin. Looking a bit guilty, he said softly, “Xiao Lin, why didn’t you put on makeup today?”

“We’re filming the show. Isn’t it a bit inappropriate to go on camera with a bare face?” Zhou Xiao Duo was implying that going without makeup showed she didn’t take the program seriously.

Deep down, Zhou Xiao Duo had many thoughts. As Zhong Lin’s high school classmate, he knew very well how stunning she looked without makeup — she had practically been the school flower.

She was voted by the aggressive Alphas in high school as the “Omega they most wanted to hug” and even appeared in a forum post titled Exposing the Purest Omega on Campus Nationwide…

But ever since Zhong Lin wanted to enter the entertainment industry, she started wearing heavy smoky makeup, exaggerated eyeliner, and fake eyelashes, completely losing her natural charm.

It had finally become his turn to shine!

Zhou Xiao Duo, who was wearing delicate light makeup, felt unwilling.

Zhong Lin lowered her eyes and thought for a moment. She didn’t know how to do makeup, but the original owner clearly did. It was better to skip this topic, right?

“I’ll deliver this box first.” Zhong Lin shook her head and continued walking forward.

【66666, she’s really bare-faced?!!】

【This scheming girl suddenly became so cute?】

【Cute, want to hug…】

【Enough already! Have you all forgotten how much of a drama queen Zhong Lin is?!!】

【Zhong Lin is a Drama Queen. I’ll hate her forever. No matter how cute she is, if her character is bad… it’s useless!!】

While carrying the box with one hand and talking to Zhou Xiao Duo, Zhong Lin wasn’t paying attention to the road. Just as she approached the corner, someone came rushing from the opposite direction.

The girl was wearing a Hepburn-style little black dress with a white short blazer on top. She had just come out of the bathroom and was slowly wiping the water droplets off her hands.

Unfortunately, no one realized… the two were about to collide head-on!

“You!” The girl wasn’t watching where she was going. She was hit by the wooden box and staggered backward.

Her shoulder-length hair, tucked behind her ear, completely fell loose. The two red carnelian four-leaf clover earrings on her ears swayed like two drops of fresh blood about to fall.

“Ah——” Zhong Lin’s shoulder was heavily bumped. The arm holding the wooden box lost balance, and the heavy box was about to smash toward the girl.

The edges of the wooden box were rough and unpolished.

If it hit her, it might injure the girl’s delicate side profile.

【This is disastrous!!】

【Quick, save our Yi Yi!】

【Someone come and kick this troublemaker Zhong Lin away!】

Even the staff members were stunned and were about to rush toward them.
