A Vicious Female Rival Omega is Sweet and Soft - Chapter 1

When Ye Yixi woke up, her stomach was churning like a wildfire. The aftermath of a hangover was never pleasant; her head throbbed with a splitting pain as she half-opened her eyes, squinting dazedledy at a crystal chandelier encrusted with jewels hanging from the ceiling. She closed her eyes again, wanting to go back to sleep.

Wait. Where did that lamp come from?

The moment the question surfaced, Ye Yixi snapped her eyes open. Forcing her weak body upward, she propped herself against the headboard, massaging her aching neck as she surveyed her surroundings in a daze.

A row of transparent cabinets beside the room was packed with all sorts of liquors. Directly in front of her was a massive TV screen, and the walls were adorned with famous paintings. The luxurious chandelier above emphasized the room’s opulence—a classic Western European decor style. Even the bed she sat on was ridiculously large; ten people could sleep on it without a problem.

As the sunlight hit her face, a wave of panic finally crashed over her. What is this place? How did I end up here?! She scrambled to get up, but her legs were leaden. She stumbled and collapsed onto the floor.

【 Ding—! Congratulations to the Host for successfully binding with System 007. This system will be at your service throughout the journey! 】

The moment the mechanical electronic voice rang out, Ye Yixi’s pupils dilated. A flood of memories began to force its way into her brain—scenes, relationships, and faces unfolded like a scroll. Once the data transfer was complete, the truth hit her: She had transmigrated into a book?

According to the memories provided by the System, she had entered a GL (Girls’ Love) ABO entertainment industry novel. Specifically, the “masterpiece” of a trashy novel she had seen on a website two days ago—the one with the negative rating!

Bad web novels are common, but one so bad that people went out of their way to give it negative scores was a rarity worth investigating. Curiosity had led Ye Yixi to read a few chapters. It was a concentrated dose of old-school Mary Sue “Naive Lead vs. Overbearing CEO” tropes. The plot was cliché, the character settings were “dog blood,” and the logic was so contradictory it was absurd.

She couldn’t believe people were still writing stuff like this in 2024, using the GL tag just to bait readers. What made her even more speechless was that a “cannon fodder” character shared her exact name!

Ye Yixi hadn’t been able to finish it. She had skipped straight to the ending to see what happened to her namesake. When she saw the plot point where the character died in a car crash and left all her assets to the female lead, Ye Yixi’s lip had twitched, and she promptly deleted it from her browser history.

And now, she was that very same Cannon Fodder Alpha!

In the book, her status wasn’t actually bad—she was the heiress of the country’s largest film and television group. She was flirtatious, arrogant, and changed Omegas like she changed clothes. To outsiders, she was the textbook definition of a wealthy, playboy “Scum Alpha.” Yet, this beautiful, rich socialite lost her mind the moment she met the female lead, becoming a mindless “simp” and one of the members of the harem, only to end up dead and broke. Talk about a brain-dead character…

“So, what am I supposed to do? Change this character’s ending?” Ye Yixi sat on the floor, gradually calming down as she posed the question to the System.

“Bingo! Host is so smart, answering before I even asked!”

Ye Yixi gave a mental sneer. She had read enough transmigration stories to know the drill. Most protagonists were stuck in this loop: change the set ending to escape back to the real world.

“Correct, Host. You are currently the heiress of the Y Group and its future successor. Your ending is death by car accident while saving the female lead. Please change your fate and save the character. Once the mission is complete, you may return to reality!”

“Will you give me specific plot details?” Ye Yixi realized she had only read the beginning and the end. Not knowing the middle was a major disadvantage.

“The System will not reveal too much plot development. I will guide the Host via missions. During this time, the Host must not go OOC (Out of Character), or points will be deducted. You will earn points for every main story mission completed. Once points reach a certain level, the Mall will open for rewards. Your current starting score is 0.”

So I can accumulate points? But the System didn’t mention how many were needed for the rewards. She began to calculate; without knowing the full plot, she was at the mercy of fate. The priority now was to finish the main missions and untangle the character webs.

Ye Yixi climbed back onto the bed. Though she was more alert now, her body still felt miserable. She remembered celebrating her promotion to department manager the night before by drinking like a fish. It hadn’t been easy for someone in the agricultural planting sector to climb the ladder by winning over clients step by step! And yet, she had only held the position for a few hours before waking up here. Coincidentally, the character she inhabited had also been on a bender with her “fox and dog” friends last night. Talk about bad luck.

As she complained internally, a transparent screen floated into view. She tapped the mission tab. A line of red text appeared:

“Tomorrow evening at 7:30 PM, please attend the banquet on time and complete the ‘Heroine Saves the Beauty’ main plot mission. Reward: 0.5 Points.”

Tomorrow? Heroine saves the beauty? Ye Yixi searched her memories and realized this character hadn’t even met the female lead yet. This meant they were in the opening chapters. She would likely meet the main cast tomorrow.

She decided to stop overthinking and spend the time exploring her new home. Stepping out onto the balcony, she found the air and lighting were excellent, offering a panoramic view of the surroundings. It was a three-story villa. It would be perfect if there were more fruit trees and greenery around here… She caught herself. Ugh, professional habit.

Returning to the room, she pressed a button on a remote. A hidden door behind the wall slid open to reveal a massive walk-in closet filled with the latest fashions and expensive jewelry. Ye Yixi was floored.

The world of the rich was truly something else. She thought of her years of struggling in the city just to put a down payment on a small two-bedroom apartment that wasn’t even half the size of this bedroom. She felt a sudden pang of bitterness.

She was about to head to the living room when she bumped into a middle-aged woman. A profile popped up over the woman’s head: 【 Auntie Zhang, long-time housekeeper of the Ye family 】. Auntie Zhang was holding a bowl of sobering soup.

“Miss Ye, here is some soup. You’ll feel better after drinking it.” Auntie Zhang handed it over with a loving expression. “Miss, you have a banquet tomorrow. Many nobles and famous artists will be there; you can’t be late!”

“Okay, thanks for the reminder.” Ye Yixi smiled politely and nodded.

Auntie Zhang looked absolutely flabbergasted by the politeness. Suddenly, the System chimed in: “Warning: Character OOC. 1 point deducted.”

What?! That counts as OOC?? It seemed she could forget about her “kind agriculturalist” persona for now.

Ye Yixi was shocked. The main mission only gave 0.5 points, and she just lost a full point for one sentence? This was a scam! She quickly pivoted to the character’s arrogant personality, pulling a long face and speaking with irritation: “Since when is it your business to manage me?”

She felt nervous after saying it. She had always been smooth and polite in her real life; acting like a spoiled brat was unnatural.

She watched Auntie Zhang bow her head and leave submissively. Since the System stayed silent, she knew the persona was intact.

“The original owner was a real piece of work…” Ye Yixi muttered. Even being polite was a violation. This was going to be a “high difficulty” run.

She finished the soup and rested. Feeling bored, she opened a fingerprint-locked cabinet under the TV. Inside were three rows of… drugs?

She realized these were ABO suppressants. Rich people used the high-end stuff—oral and injectable. In this world, Alphas and Omegas hit “heat cycles” every two months. Oral suppressants could delay it by a month; injections could delay it for six months but cost millions per shot.

Then she remembered the “logic” of this specific trash novel. Usually, in ABO stories, the glands are on the back of the neck. But in this book… the glands were located on the tongue? To mark someone, you had to bite your tongues and exchange blood?

Gross. Ye Yixi closed the cabinet with a deadpan expression. If this were an anime, she’d have black lines over her face.

The next day at 6:00 PM, Ye Yixi checked her phone. Her messaging apps were overflowing. People asking her to drink, business pitches, and Omegas flirting. She gave herself goosebumps just looking at it.

She ignored them and called her driver. While waiting, she went to the closet to pick an outfit. Looking in the mirror, she realized her new face looked like her old one, but with the “beauty filters” cranked up to maximum. High nose bridge, perfect jawline, and a 1.7-meter model height. With her long black hair and expensive clothes, she looked like a cold, elegant “Girl Crusher.”

She noticed a tag on her clothes and went to bite it off, only to see the brand name: “Gacci.”

What brand is that? she wondered.

The System chimed in: “Host, the original author misspelled ‘Gucci’ when writing the book. Therefore, in this world, ‘Gacci’ is the top-tier luxury brand. No one thinks it’s weird.”

Ye Yixi felt like she was about to spit blood. This trashy novel… how many more ‘surprises’ do you have for me?!

Finally, it was time to leave. She sat in the back of a flashy Lamborghini. For the first time in two lives, she was riding in a car this expensive. With a heart full of (fake) confidence and (real) “Gacci,” she touched up her makeup and flashed a perfect, arrogant smile in the mirror.

Socialite banquet, here I come.
