A Scumbag Alpha Reforms: Pampering Her Wife Without Limits - Chapter 1

Xinghai City.

Inside the presidential suite of the Imperial One Hotel, a woman lay on the floor. Her forehead was gashed, and the seeping blood added a touch of bewitching allure to her exquisite face.

As the progress bar reached 100%, the unconscious woman on the floor snapped her eyes open.

Ning Lingzhou lay there for about ten seconds until a sense of lightness and transparency returned to her body. Only then did she clutch her head and scramble up from the floor.

This long-lost feeling of being alive.

Ning Lingzhou took a deep breath, but a rich, intense fragrance suddenly assaulted her—like a shot of strong liquor being downed, it burned fiercely through her entire body. A wave of heat and numbness spread from her heart straight to the back of her neck, where something seemed to be surging frantically, trying to break through its shackles and be released.

“Xu Fangqing, the ‘gentle’ act has wrapped. Now… it’s hunting time.”

An unfamiliar voice echoed in her mind, sounding somewhat crazed.

Ning Lingzhou suddenly felt a throbbing pain in her head. Frowning, she held her forehead; her legs felt weak, forcing her to lean against the wall, gasping for air. Between the opening and closing of her eyes, the air seemed to turn abnormally hot.

That rich, intense fragrance acted like vines, slowly coiling around her and boxing her in. Her breathing grew rapid. Ning Lingzhou felt her throat go dry, a desperate urge rising to vent the heat building inside her.

This strange feeling… and this unfamiliar room.

Ning Lingzhou touched her neck and looked around: torn clothes on the floor, a shattered glass, messy blankets on the bed, and pearls scattered everywhere. Fragmented images flashed through her mind.

She saw herself grabbing a woman’s hand, dragging her into the room, throwing her onto the bed, and lunging at her. The woman struggled incessantly; she had torn the woman’s dress, snapped her necklace—it was clear she intended to use force. During the struggle, the woman had grabbed a glass from the nightstand and smashed it against her head.

Ning Lingzhou touched the blood on her forehead, only now feeling the sting. She stood there dazed, surveying the luxurious suite: a glittering starlight chandelier above, a massive abstract painting on the wall, a wide white sofa, and a soft rug with a rose pattern.

Her gaze returned to the bed. On the large, soft, white duvet, there was a faint indentation left by a woman’s graceful figure.

Everything pointed to one fact.

If she wasn’t mistaken, she had transmigrated into a book.

Specifically, she was now the eponymous “Scumbag Alpha” (Scumbag A) from a Yuri novel titled The Overbearing CEO’s Forced Love.

In the novel, the Scumbag A had been betrayed by an ex-girlfriend years ago, leading to her deep-seated hostility toward Omegas. Since then, she began to toy with them, delighting in watching them fall in love with her only to be discarded, relishing their tears and despair to vent her twisted emotions.

That was until she met Xu Fangqing.

A rookie actress whose peerless face and “chilled-yet-seductive” aura made her a legend after just one film. She became the “dream Omega” for countless Alphas in Xinghai City.

The Scumbag A was instantly captivated. Coincidentally pressured by her family to marry, she began her pursuit. But Xu Fangqing came from a decent background and didn’t care for her money. As for her person—aside from a good-looking shell—her intellect, temper, and character held zero appeal. Most importantly, Xu Fangqing already had a partner.

None of that mattered to the Scumbag A. There was no Omega she couldn’t get.

She secretly schemed to plunge Xu Fangqing’s father’s company into a financial crisis and framed him, landing him in prison. When Xu Fangqing was desperate and without recourse, the Scumbag A “extended a helping hand”: if Xu Fangqing married her, she would help get her father out.

With her family facing bankruptcy and her father in jail, and her girlfriend choosing that moment to break up with her, Xu Fangqing—still a junior in college—was forced to agree.

The Scumbag A claimed they wouldn’t go public for the sake of Xu Fangqing’s career. At the time, Xu Fangqing was actually somewhat moved. Only later did she realize it was just a ploy to keep the marriage hidden so the Scumbag A could toss her away later without consequences.

The Scumbag A’s friends all knew she only married Xu Fangqing for fun. On their wedding night, she even boasted in a group chat that she would make Xu Fangqing fall in love with her within a month.

Unfortunately, Xu Fangqing wasn’t the type to fall in love just because someone treated her well. To love someone, she needed to see virtues she actually admired.

As the one-month deadline approached and the ex-girlfriend was set to return to the country, the Scumbag A lost her patience. Feeling it would be “embarrassing” to just throw her away like that, she decided to forcibly mark the heroine.

While still “loving” her ex, the Scumbag A couldn’t help but be attracted to the heroine. After the first forced marking, she dropped her mask and began regularly violating the heroine’s wishes. She cheated with her ex during the heroine’s pregnancy yet forbade her from having contact with any other Alpha.

If she caught the heroine with another Alpha, she would find ways to torture her—like drugging her to force a heat cycle, then locking her in a room without suppressants or a way to call for help, forcing her to beg. When the heroine chose death over begging, the Scumbag A used crude actions and words to humiliate her.

To prevent the heroine from aborting the child, the Scumbag A kept her under house arrest. But when she heard her ex-girlfriend needed a blood transfusion after a car accident—and the heroine was a match—she immediately forced the heroine to donate, causing a miscarriage. While the heroine was hospitalized, the Scumbag A stayed by the ex-girlfriend’s side, never visiting once.

Eventually, the heroine’s family learned the truth, gave up the resources the Scumbag A provided, and encouraged a divorce. When the heroine asked for a divorce, the Scumbag A realized she “loved” her and refused to let go, driving the heroine to dig out her own glands to break the bond, leaving her permanently disabled.

Reading this in the past, Ning Lingzhou had been livid. She had wanted to jump into the book and beat this “dog” of a Scumbag Alpha a hundred times.

Now, having become the Scumbag A, Ning Lingzhou speechlessly slapped herself. She even felt she hadn’t hit herself hard enough.

However, the pain cleared her head. She heard faint, broken whimpers coming from the bathroom. The soft moans were repressed and helpless, stimulating Ning Lingzhou’s ears and making her skin crawl with goosebumps.

Following that was an even more intoxicating fragrance.

It was the pheromones of a top-tier Omega, Xu Fangqing—sweet, intense, and overwhelming. To any Alpha, it was a fatal attraction.

In an instant, Alpha instincts made Ning Lingzhou’s blood boil. Within her, the lingering consciousness of the original Scumbag A screamed: “Mark her! I want her to be completely mine!”

Ning Lingzhou shook her head to drive out the annoying voice and staggered toward the bathroom. The door was locked. She thought she wouldn’t be able to open it, but as an Alpha, her strength was startling. With a light twist, the lock snapped.

The large bathroom was bathed in soft light. Xu Fangqing was huddled in a corner, her clothes disheveled and her body soaked. The showerhead on the floor beside her was still spraying water.

Xu Fangqing lay on her side, arms wrapped around herself, head tilted back against the wall as she gasped in distress. Her “swan neck” formed a graceful curve, and her pale gold hair was draped messily over her shoulders. Due to the heat of the estrus cycle, her porcelain cheeks were flushed pink, adding a layer of sensuality to her cold, otherworldly beauty.

Her tight dress was torn, exposing a large expanse of skin as smooth and white as jade. Below her tempting silhouette, the tattered hem barely covered her thighs, and her long, pale legs were crossed, creating an immediate visual impact.

Ning Lingzhou had never seen such a beautiful woman. Just as the book described: cold, abstinent, yet incredibly seductive. Like a white rose about to bloom, she made one want to defile her, to stain her with the colors of the mundane world.

Her throat went dry. Ning Lingzhou instinctively swallowed.

The moment she took a step inside, the panting Xu Fangqing suddenly snapped her eyes open and looked at her with pure vigilance. Her eyes were large, bright, and possessed a clear, spiritual aura. Her furrowed brows seemed to say that if Ning Lingzhou dared take one more step, she would take them both down together.

Ning Lingzhou stopped.

The pheromones in the cramped bathroom were too concentrated; they were like a blade carving away at her sanity. Every second was an ordeal. Her Alpha instincts screamed at her to go forward, to embrace the Omega, to kiss her, possess her, and make her hers forever.

Feeling her body’s reaction and fearing she would lose control, Ning Lingzhou turned and bolted out of the room. A sharp pain shot through her glands, making her legs give out. She collapsed onto the floor.

It felt like ten thousand ants were crawling over her, or like she was being consumed by fire. The spot at the back of her neck hurt so much she almost lost her mind. Every breath was a battle for her sanity. She couldn’t even open a window to let the scent out—she feared the smell of a top-tier Omega would attract other Alphas and cause a literal riot.

As she gasped for air, the sweet, rich scent of Xu Fangqing grew even stronger. She looked at the bathroom door and gripped the carpet tight. She was reaching her limit.

Just as she was about to stand up, her phone suddenly rang, startling her. She saw it glowing under the bed, crawled over, and fished it out. The caller ID said: “Mom.”

She didn’t know if it was the Scumbag A’s mother or Xu Fangqing’s. She answered. A worried voice came from the other end: “Qingqing, how are things between you and Lingzhou?”

Ning Lingzhou glanced at the bathroom, hesitated, and spoke: “We… we’re doing great.”

Her voice was incredibly hoarse. She couldn’t help but touch her throat.

“Oh, it’s Lingzhou,” Zhao Hui said on the other end, sounding a bit embarrassed. “Where’s Qingqing?”

“She’s… in the bathroom.”

Hearing she was in the bathroom, combined with Ning Lingzhou’s strained tone, Zhao Hui naturally assumed they were “busy” with marital affairs.

“Then you two… keep at it. I won’t disturb you.”

After hanging up, Ning Lingzhou cleared her head slightly. She forced herself up and used the landline to call the front desk, ordering them to send up suppressants. The Imperial One Hotel was a property of the Ning family; as the CEO of the Ning Group, her orders were carried out instantly.

The suppressants arrived quickly.

Holding the medicine, Ning Lingzhou opened the bathroom door once more.

Xu Fangqing was still curled in the corner, clutching herself. Because of the heat, her skin had turned a rosy hue, and physiological tears gathered at the corners of her eyes. She looked heartbreakingly pitiable. At this moment, an Omega is at their most sensitive and fragile—and most “delicious.” One taste would make anyone lose themselves.

Ill-timed images of “forced love” from the novel flashed in Ning Lingzhou’s mind. She violently shook her head to dispel the evil thoughts and rushed to Xu Fangqing to set the suppressants down.

This single movement caused Xu Fangqing to reflexively grab the showerhead nearby, ready to swing.

To show she meant no harm, Ning Lingzhou tried to back away quickly. But she accidentally stepped on some spilled body wash. Her foot slipped, and she lost her balance.

The next second—thud—she landed hard on both knees, kneeling directly in front of Xu Fangqing.
