A Milky Orange-Flavored Omega Becomes Famous Through a Dating Show [Entertainment Circle] - Chapter 1
“Ding ding—”
“Ding ding—”
A piercing alarm rang beside her ear. Zhong Lin lazily turned over. After being woken by the noise, her long, curled lashes trembled, and she slowly opened her eyes. Her brown eyes were still hazy with sleep, and her fair little legs kicked the blanket away.
Zhong Lin slowly sat up and looked around. To her right was a window. The curtains were half-open, letting sunlight spill in, a little dazzling.
To her left was a white wardrobe. On the low cabinet beside the bed sat half a glass of unfinished water and a phone.
This place was completely unfamiliar. Zhong Lin tilted her head slightly. Maybe she had sat up a little too abruptly just now, because her head was faintly aching.
This… Where exactly was this?!
Zhong Lin shook her little head. Because of her poor sleeping posture, her wispy bangs had been flattened and were sticking up. As she shook her head, they swayed back and forth. Her memories were slowly returning, and she gradually remembered what had happened before…
Her name was Zhong Lin. She was the youngest Bai Ze divine beast cub from the clan sealed by the celestial master Zhong Kui. In the chaos, she had been struck by a burst of white light and seemed to have been forced into an illusion.
In the illusion, she was reading a book—After the Green Tea Male Omega Rose to Power, I Became Popular.
In this book, there was also a character named Zhong Lin.
This person had the same name as her, and even looked exactly like her human form.
But the elders of her clan had once said that Zhong Lin was the youngest and cutest cub of the Bai Ze clan! Meanwhile, the Zhong Lin in this book was only an ordinary human.
Zhong Lin carefully sorted through the plot of the book in her memories.
First of all, this was a female-Alpha/male-Omega novel. Humans were divided into male Alphas, male Betas, male Omegas, female Alphas, female Betas, and female Omegas.
Simply put, it was a highly free society where all six genders had equal rights.
In this era, technology was extremely advanced. After people’s most basic material needs had been satisfied, they began pursuing a richer spiritual life, which gave rise to an ecosystem known as the entertainment industry.
The Zhong Lin in the book was an unpopular internet celebrity who wanted to enter the entertainment industry.
The company she signed with arranged for her to participate in an AO dating variety show called Thirty-One Days Heartbeat Challenge. The show had male Alphas, female Alphas, male Omegas, and female Omegas. It was a free-romance variety show between Alphas and Omegas.
The Zhong Lin in the book had no brains. She was clearly simple-minded and foolish, yet she loved acting up, being self-centered, refusing to do any work, trash-talking others, and frantically throwing herself at the heroine Alpha…
By relying on her own efforts alone, she served as a foil to make the male lead Omega seem kind and adorable.
The male lead Omega was a delicate flower that made people want to cherish him. Zhong Lin was the weed people wanted to pull out by the roots.
She recommended her good friend, an ordinary male Omega, to join the Thirty-One Days Heartbeat Challenge production team. Every time she acted willfully and caused trouble, the male lead Omega would do everything he could to excuse her behavior, making himself seem so pure, unaffected, kind, and beautiful.
After Zhong Lin recalled the plot of the entire book, she felt that the original owner was a little pitiful. But the original owner was also so dramatic and troublesome that she practically wanted to poke a hole straight through the ceiling of the dating variety show. She was simply the ultimate villainous Drama Queen.
This male lead Omega had been her high school classmate. He went along with her in everything. No matter what happened, he always felt that she was right and had never corrected her behavior. Her emotional intelligence had been encouraged into something like a mudslide.
In daily life, a drama queen was just a willful little princess.
But on a dating variety show, every expression and action would be magnified infinitely and over-interpreted, making her look both bad and stupid.
Naturally, such a foolish original owner failed to debut successfully. After the show aired, she was mocked by the entire internet. The insults from haters came flooding in from every direction. After being shelved by her company, “Zhong Lin” developed severe depression.
Then she chose to leap from a tall building, ending with a big, bold BE.
After Zhong Lin sorted out her thoughts, she casually picked up her phone and saw that it was six-thirty. At this time, it should still be considered early. The production team had set the gathering time at seven-thirty in the morning.
Zhong Lin got out of bed and took a designer white shirt with one shoulder half-exposed from the wardrobe, along with a pair of denim shorts.
The denim shorts ended just a little above her knees. The outfit looked fresh and clean, making her legs appear long, slim, and straight.
After changing, Zhong Lin went to the bathroom to wash up. She wet her messy bangs and combed them neatly. Then she glanced at the bottles and jars on the sink below the mirror. After opening them and sniffing them, her eyes became a little blank—
As a Bai Ze divine beast, she could not figure out how these things were supposed to be used. Ancient cosmetics looked completely different from these.
…She did not know how to use them at all!
(╬◣д◢) She was so mad. Forget it, she simply would not put on makeup!
But perhaps because Zhong Lin’s original form was a divine beast, she naturally carried an immortal aura. Even bare-faced, Zhong Lin was extremely beautiful. Although she wore no powder or rouge, her small face was still fair as porcelain, with just the right touch of rosy color. Her brows were delicate, her lashes thick, as though they had been carefully drawn.
Even her lips were the perfect shade of pale pink.
Zhong Lin went straight out the door.
How could she change her BE ending where she was killed off?
Zhong Lin felt that she needed to solve the problem from the root.
In the original book, “Zhong Lin” was self-centered, refused to work, loved trash-talking others, and frantically threw herself at the heroine Alpha…
Zhong Lin thought, wouldn’t it be fine if she simply did the opposite of this person?
First, she had to work. She had once heard the elders of her clan say that hardworking cubs were the cutest. (^▽^)~
“Excuse me, is there anything I can help with?” Zhong Lin walked over to a staff member who was arranging the set.
A girl wearing a pink-and-white striped shirt stopped. She did not notice who was asking and thought it was a temporary worker from the production crew. Holding a wooden crate in both hands, she lifted her chin slightly and gestured to Zhong Lin.
“Go move that crate. Take it to the lobby on the first floor, to the first room on the left.”
If the staff member had looked up at Zhong Lin’s face at that moment, she would definitely have been shocked out of her mind. This person, when she had entered the production team two days ago, had been someone who could not carry anything on her shoulders or lift anything in her hands—a pampered young lady who never touched housework…
The staff member suddenly reminded her, “Be careful. It’s heavy…”
“Okay.” Zhong Lin bent down, then lifted the wooden crate full of props with one hand and carried it on her shoulder.
Staff member: “…”
I’m dumbfounded.
When Zhong Lin was moving the third crate back and forth, she vaguely heard someone in the lobby calling her name.
Beside the sofa stood a tall girl wearing a trendy brand T-shirt on top, the hem almost covering the tops of her thighs, paired with ultra-short hot pants underneath.
This cool girl, whose entire body radiated Alpha energy, frowned and asked, “Why hasn’t Zhong Lin come over again?”
Her tone was clearly a little impatient.
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. How about you go take a look, Xiaoduo?”
The boy was dressed in a somewhat Japanese style. His light khaki shorts only reached his knees, revealing slender calves below. His gaze passed over everyone and looked toward Zhong Lin’s room. He blinked innocently and said, “I knocked on her door for a very, very long time this morning, but I didn’t hear any response from her.”
“It’s my fault. I didn’t wake Zhong Lin in time. Why don’t I go call her again?”
Another boy dressed in casual clothes was tall and handsome, standing upright like a pine tree. He curled his lips almost imperceptibly. “Xiaoduo, only you spoil her every day!”
…
To put it simply, the male Omega named “Xiaoduo” was actually the male lead Omega, Zhou Xiaoduo. He was hinting that Zhong Lin was “deliberately” late, while everyone else was mocking Zhong Lin.
Zhong Lin was practically full of question marks. No one had knocked on her door at all, okay?
“Hi…” Holding the crate with one arm, Zhong Lin turned her head. She raised her other arm and waved, greeting the group.
At the same time, the camera on the tea table in the lobby turned toward her. The livestream had quietly begun.
On the video app, bullet comments were flooding the screen like crazy—
[Zhong Lin actually got up? The once-in-three-thousand-years sleepyhead and late monster actually got up?!]
[Really? I don’t believe it. This can’t be Zhong Lin, whose face used to look so awkward, whose eyes were freakishly huge, and whose eyelashes looked like they were flying off her eyelids!]
[How did she suddenly become like this? Did she get plastic surgery? Why does she look so cute???]
[My whole family is shocked. Let’s watch the number one troublemaking expert of dating variety shows—Zhong Lin—continue to cause chaos…]
[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 Xiaoduo waved toward Zhong Lin. Perhaps because he had just done something guilty, he said weakly, “Xiao Lin, why didn’t you put on makeup today?”
“You’re going on the show. Going bare-faced… isn’t very good, right?” Zhou Xiaoduo was implying that Zhong Lin going bare-faced meant she did not take the show seriously.
Zhou Xiaoduo had many thoughts in his heart. He was Zhong Lin’s high school classmate, so he had known long ago that Zhong Lin’s bare face was especially strong. She was practically a school belle.
The group of thirsty Alphas in high school had even voted her “the Omega they most wanted to hug,” and she had once appeared in a forum post titled Let’s Dig Into the Purest Omegas on Campuses Across the Country…
But ever since Zhong Lin wanted to enter the entertainment industry, she had started wearing heavy smoky makeup, with eyeliner and false eyelashes flying all the way to the heavens. Her entire person had lost her spiritual aura.
Only then had it finally become his turn to stand out!
Zhou Xiaoduo, who had carefully applied a scheming no-makeup makeup look, felt unwilling.
Zhong Lin lowered her eyes and thought for a moment. She did not know how to put on makeup, but the original owner obviously did. It would be better to skip this question, right?
“I’ll take this crate over first.” Zhong Lin shook her head and continued walking forward.
[66666, she’s bare-faced?!!]
[Why did this little drama queen suddenly become so cute?]
[Cute. I want to ‘sun’ her…]
[That’s enough, person in front! 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!!]
Holding the crate with one hand, Zhong Lin had been talking to Zhou Xiaoduo just now and had not paid attention to the road. When she was about to reach the corner, a figure rushed over from the opposite direction.
The girl was wearing a Hepburn-style little black dress with a short white suit jacket over it. She had just come out of the bathroom and was slowly wiping the droplets of water from her hands.
Very unfortunately, no one realized that the two of them were walking toward each other and were about to collide head-on!
“You!” The girl had not paid attention to the path. She was hit by the wooden crate and staggered half a step backward.
Her shoulder-length hair, which had been tucked behind her ears, completely fell loose. On her ears, two crimson four-leaf-clover-shaped red agate earrings swayed, like two drops of blood about to fall.
“Ah—” Zhong Lin’s shoulder was struck heavily. The arm carrying the wooden crate became unsteady, and the heavy crate was about to smash toward that girl.
The edges of the wooden crate had not been polished and were rather rough.
If the wooden crate was allowed to fall, it would probably injure that girl’s exquisite side profile.
[Oh my god!!]
[Hurry, hurry, save our Yiyi!]
[Someone hurry up and kick this disaster Zhong Lin away!]
Even the staff were stunned and were about to rush toward the two of them.
