A Scummy Alpha Supporting Character Accidentally Marks the Heroine After Transmigrating into a Book (GL) - Chapter 1

It was so noisy.

Who was talking in her ear?

“President Yan, Miss Bai has been taken to the private box next door as you instructed.”

Yan Nanjue opened her eyes. She was in a magnificent private room; the crystal chandelier cast a dazzling, intoxicating light, and the silver decorations gleamed brilliantly. Every corner screamed excessive luxury.

A waiter stepped forward cautiously. “This is the surveillance feed from next door. Please watch.”

…What?

【Ding-dong! Your System 1129 is online. You have been connected to the world of this book.】

The moment the mechanical voice sounded, everything before her eyes froze as if someone had pressed a pause button.

The voice seemed to come from the depths of her mind. Yan Nanjue’s gaze turned cautious. “Who are you?”

【Hello, Host Yan Nanjue. I am your exclusive book-transmigration system, 1129. You died in your real world, which is why I brought you here. And this—is a novel.】

Yan Nanjue was stunned.

…She was dead? And she had experienced something as absurd and eerie as “transmigrating into a book”?

The System waited for her to process this before continuing: 【After your death, your soul signed a contract with our company. Only by completing the missions issued by the Main System can you be resurrected and return to your own world. If you fail, you will lose the chance to revive and die completely.】

A shiver ran through Yan Nanjue. She suddenly remembered everything—the suffocating feeling of death and the endless fear seemed to still linger in the depths of her soul.

She asked hurriedly, “What is this book about?”

【System: This is a “white-cut-black” protagonist ABO face-slapping novel. It tells the story of how the heroine, after “blackening,” takes revenge on her former enemies and climbs to the top step-by-step.】

【And you are just one of the cold, vicious, obsessive, arrogant, heartless, and power-tripping scummy Alpha supporting female leads. Aside from your status as a CEO, you have zero redeeming qualities.】

【You encountered the “Little White Flower” heroine, Bai Wan, who was working a part-time job as a waitress at a banquet. You fell in love with her face at first sight.】

【You thought: No matter what, I must have this person.】

【You sent someone to give her a bank card, but the heroine rejected you; she loathed your high-and-mighty attitude of “charity.” This happened several times until you completely lost your patience. After investigating, you discovered she was a powerless orphan. She had been adopted, and while her adoptive parents died several years ago, they left her with two “burden” younger siblings who suffer from hereditary diseases. She supported the family all on her own.】

【In the heroine’s heart, the only things she cares about are the old house left by her adoptive parents and her siblings. That is the only place in the world that brings her warmth.】

Yan Nanjue sensed something bad coming.

【System: This discovery made you very happy, because people with a weakness are the easiest to control. You bought that land and used the demolition of the old house and the lives of the two children to threaten the heroine, forcing her to sign a three-year marriage contract.】

…As expected, the classic “forced love” trope.

【After the marriage, you tortured the heroine for three years and even caused her glands to be damaged, turning a high-quality Omega into a “cripple.” Eventually, the heroine, who hates you to the bone, blackens.】

【As for you, you were retaliated against until your family was ruined and you died a miserable death.】

Yan Nanjue felt like she was going to faint from the overwhelming stench of this “dog-blood” melodrama.

【System: Your mission is to prevent the heroine from blackening and change your destined death, all without going OOC (Out of Character). Friendly reminder: Your OOC value must be kept within 5%.】

Yan Nanjue: …?

Prevent who?

【The heroine, oh.】

Yan Nanjue was speechless. After a long while, she asked: “What is the current timeline?” Please, let it be before the contract was signed so everything can still be fixed.

【System: The second year of marriage. There is only one year left before the heroine blackens.】

【Heroine Bai Wan’s current Blackening Value: 65/100】

The two bright red numbers on the light blue panel were exceptionally conspicuous—and exceptionally eyesore-inducing.

Yan Nanjue felt her vision go dark.

What’s the difference between this and her being already blackened??!!

She took a deep breath. “The heroine probably hates me to death already, right?”

【System: From the look of things, yes. Warm reminder: Please keep your emotions stable, Host. Commencing transmission of the original body’s memories and the plotline.】

“It’s fine, there’s still time… there’s still time…”

At least it wasn’t the end of the third year. There was still a year left, wasn’t there?

She could do this!

Yan Nanjue convinced herself and nodded firmly. “Transmit it.”

A massive amount of memory surged into her mind. Yan Nanjue closed her eyes and skimmed through it, setting aside the unimportant bits to focus on the key segments.

For example, where she was right now, and what the heroine was doing in the plot.

The plotline showed that two years into the marriage, the heroine frequently resisted her and even proposed the idea of going out to work. The original Yan Nanjue could not tolerate her “canary” escaping her control. Egged on by the people around her, she had brought the heroine to a private club under her name in a fit of rage.

She told the heroine: Since you want to work so badly, stay here and learn how to “work” properly.

The “work” the original body referred to was being a hostess/escort.

Yan Nanjue: …

I absolutely cannot do this.

【System: The heroine is already in the box next door. Most of the people in that room are rich socialites and young masters you specifically invited to humiliate her. It’s a mix of Alphas and Betas—a bunch of playboys from families inferior to yours. The heroine is the only “lamb in the lion’s den” Omega, oh.】

【System: Plot transmission complete. Lifting time-pause effect.】

Yan Nanjue suddenly snapped her eyes open. Her elegant features looked almost flirtatious, but her expression was cold as ice. The cool light falling from above added a sense of unapproachable harshness to her.

The waiter was momentarily stunned. “President Yan, you…”

Before she could finish, Yan Nanjue stood up abruptly and walked toward the door.

She stopped in front of a door. “Is it this one?”

Receiving the System’s confirmation, she didn’t hesitate to lift her foot and kick the door open. This box was worlds apart from the one she had been in; the lights were dizzyingly dim, the shouting of the crowd almost drowned out the music, and the smell of alcohol was stifling—it was a complete mess.

“Who is it?! Oh, it’s Sister Nanjue…”

“Why is Sister Nanjue here?” Whispers broke out.

Yan Nanjue’s nervous gaze swept through the room, finally landing on the only Omega wearing a server’s uniform.

When she saw the situation, her heart sank.

The only Omega present had been pushed to the floor. The snow-white shirt on her front was soaked with wine. Her waterfall-like long hair spilled over her shoulders, covering her thin frame, while wine dripped down her sharp chin.

She had her head lowered. Yan Nanjue couldn’t see her face.

The person who had splashed the wine was a woman in red. With her back to the door, she casually tossed the glass aside and said with a smile, “Miss Bai doesn’t seem to understand human speech. It seems her head isn’t clear enough. I’ll help you sober up; Miss Bai won’t blame me, right?”

Only after she finished did she realize the room had gone eerily silent, leaving only the music playing.

The woman in red turned around, her expression freezing for a second before she called out happily, “Sister Nanjue!”

Yan Nanjue ignored her, her gaze passing right through her.

The woman being watched seemed to sense something and slowly raised her head. Beneath the seaweed-like long hair was the face of a snow-white beauty. Her eyebrows were like distant mountains in the mist, her eyes were clear, and her temperament was ethereal. Wet black hair clung to her temples, and pale red wine trailed down her cheeks like tears—though she wasn’t crying.

…Beautiful.

Truly too beautiful.

Yan Nanjue finally understood why the original body fell in love with this face at first sight.

However, the moment their eyes met, a chill ran down Yan Nanjue’s spine. Through those eyes, she glimpsed a deep-seated hatred—sinister and bone-chilling.

She looked as if she wanted to skin Yan Nanjue alive and break her bones.

Yan Nanjue’s breath hitched. Realizing this was the heroine Bai Wan who hated her to the core, she snapped into focus. As she stepped closer, the woman in red instinctively took half a step back. “She fell on her own. I saw that she wasn’t sober and didn’t seem to know her place, so I just wanted to help her…”

“Enough.”

Yan Nanjue interrupted her. She wanted to help the heroine up.

【Warning: Current OOC Value at 2%】

That already counts as OOC?!

Yan Nanjue’s movement froze. The hand she had extended halfway suddenly grabbed Bai Wan’s wrist, and she roughly yanked her up.

She spoke in a cold tone that brooked no argument: “That’s enough for today.”

The room fell into silence; no one dared to stop her.

Yan Nanjue led Bai Wan away in front of everyone. From beginning to end, she avoided eye contact with the heroine, terrified of exposing her inner guilt.

It wasn’t until they were in the hallway that Bai Wan forcefully shook off her hand. Yan Nanjue’s heart jumped, but she turned back with a calm face.

The hallway lights were also soft and ambiguous. Bai Wan stood at the intersection of light and shadow. The intoxicating glow “kissed” the tip of her nose, but her eyes hidden in the dark stared straight at Yan Nanjue. Her gaze was hopeless and filled with resentment, and her voice was light and exhausted.

“Just how long do you intend to torture me?”

“You said that if I stayed as you requested, you would fulfill your promise. Are you going back on your word now, President Yan?”

【System: You promised the heroine that if she did what you asked, you’d let her go out to work and let her see her siblings, whom you’ve kept under house arrest. The original body was moody; it wasn’t uncommon for her to agree to something and then renege.】

Yan Nanjue stood tall, her gaze looking down from above.

【System: Grab her hand. Your persona does not allow anyone to escape your palm.】

Yan Nanjue suddenly grabbed Bai Wan, dragging that slender arm in front of her. The distance between them vanished instantly. The faint scent of red wine wafted into her nose, coming from the person in front of her.

Her palm tightened.

“Do you think you can break free?”

Yan Nanjue stared intently at the heroine.

Bai Wan looked up from beneath defiant brows, her eyes dark and ruthless, showing not a hint of submission.

In this ambiguously close distance, they stood in a stalemate for a long time. No one spoke.

The heroine’s current aura didn’t look like a “weak” Omega at all. Yan Nanjue’s palms, hidden behind her, were beginning to sweat as her brain worked at high speed.

“I changed my mind,” she said.

“Even if the Mistress of the Yan family is disobedient, she shouldn’t be lectured by outsiders.”

From her posture to her voice, everything was high-and-mighty, exuding an innate arrogance and superiority.

A flash of irony flickered in Bai Wan’s eyes.

“You can go out to work, but you can only enter the Yan Corporation,” Yan Nanjue stated. “Other than the Yan Corporation, no other place would dare take you in anyway. —Until the time is up, you’d better be more obedient. Otherwise, whether it’s those ‘burden’ siblings of yours or that house that should have been demolished long ago, you won’t be able to protect either.”

“Some things are always more important than dignity, wouldn’t you say?”

Author’s Note:

Characters: Task-focused transmigrator worker bird (Yan Nanjue) x Obsessive white-cut-black vengeful beautiful madwoman (Bai Wan). 1v1, HE.

Bai Wan is genuinely a bit crazy—not mentally stable, a very “gloomy female ghost” type…

Fictional setting. Female Alphas have no extra “attachments.” No mpreg/birth.
