A Vicious Female Rival Omega is Sweet and Soft - Chapter 2

By the time Ye Yixi arrived at the banquet, a large crowd had already gathered. The high-end private club was impenetrable without an invitation, and the exterior was swarming with bodyguards and service staff. The host of tonight’s gala was none other than the Chairman of S-Entertainment.

As the most influential star-making factory in the original novel, S-Entertainment launched a new batch of idols every year. One could say that almost every celebrity in the industry—from A-list veterans to rising stars—hailed from S-Entertainment. They controlled half the power in the entertainment world.

The other half belonged to the Ye family’s film and television group. One company provided the scripts and production resources to create hit shows, while the other cultivated the stars to lead them. They were perfectly symbiotic. Ostensibly, tonight’s banquet was a birthday celebration for the Chairman of S-Entertainment; in reality, it was a networking event to introduce the company’s newest rookies to the industry’s big players.

Ye Yixi had already given up on critiquing the logic of two families monopolizing an entire industry. She had a much more pressing issue to complain about. The moment she stepped out of the car, an explosive, “cool and edgy” BGM (background music) suddenly blared in her ears. She froze, looking around for a speaker, but the music stopped instantly. She thought she was seeing ghosts in broad daylight until she took another step—the beat kicked back in, perfectly synced to her stride, exactly like the grand entrance of a main character in a TV drama.

“Host, this is your exclusive BGM provided by the original author. It plays whenever you attend a major event. Isn’t it creative?”

The System’s explanation left Ye Yixi petrified. She had been “hit-and-run” by these bizarre tropes several times now, but she had to maintain her composure in front of the crowd. Gritting her teeth, she made her grand entrance, stepping in time to the noisy BGM. Near the elevators, a group of Alphas and Omegas began praising her with exaggerated, fanatical zeal.

“Oh my god, she’s so beautiful!! Is that the legendary Miss Ye, the heiress to the Y Group?! I’d be willing to be her concubine if I could just marry her!”

…The Mary Sue world truly lived up to its reputation. Ye Yixi considered herself an extroverted “E-type” person after years of business negotiations, but even she felt her sanity slipping. To maintain her persona, she kept a look of cold disdain on her face. God, I’m such a poser.

The venue was massive, decorated with hand-carved crystal trees. Rows of long tables featured custom Western cuisine prepared by Michelin-starred chefs, looking exquisite under the lavender lighting.

Ye Yixi, dressed in a deep blue gown paired with a tailored blazer, sat alone in a private second-floor booth, elegantly swirling a glass of red wine. She quietly observed the floor. Few people were seated; most were gathered in the open area of the first floor, networking and exchanging business cards.

The rookies and small-scale production companies were particularly active, desperate to latch onto resources or powerful backers. After all, the Chairman of S-Entertainment held immense sway; when the elite of the circle gathered, no one wanted to miss the opportunity.

“Welcome everyone to Chairman Shen’s birthday banquet. Please take your seats; the event is about to begin!”

From the balcony, Ye Yixi watched the host take the stage. Below, the minor celebrities scrambled to grab seats near the front. As for why Ye Yixi had a private box—it was because the Y Group and S-Entertainment were equals. They had collaborated on numerous blockbuster projects, and as the sole designated heiress of the Y Group, a VIP seat was hers by right.

By now, Ye Yixi was hungry. She stopped being polite and began leisurely enjoying her expensive dinner. Halfway through, Chairman Shen made her appearance—a sharp, shoulder-length bob paired with a sophisticated gown. She looked impeccably maintained, a classic image of a powerful career woman.

After some polite remarks and a photo op at the “blessing wall,” a foreign violin ensemble began an immersive performance. The atmosphere was perfect.

However, after eating her fill, Ye Yixi grew anxious. She was waiting for the main mission to trigger. Sitting here wasn’t going to work. She headed downstairs to wander the first floor. Several people tried to approach her, but she brushed them off with a cold roll of her eyes. Gotta say, this persona is pretty convenient in these situations.

Just as Ye Yixi was losing patience, a crowd gathered ahead, whispering and pointing. Curious, she walked over. Suddenly, a golden light radiated from someone in the center of the crowd. Floating above their head in shimmering gold text was: 【 Female Lead: Zhen Xiaobai. Current Occupation: S-Entertainment Cleaning Girl 】

OMG, finally! My dear Female Lead!

Ye Yixi’s eyes lit up. She pushed through the layers of people and saw the female lead’s face—stubborn and furious, holding a broom like a weapon.

Zhen Xiaobai was wearing a plain janitor’s uniform, and her face was a bit dirty, but it couldn’t hide her pure, beautiful features. Ye Yixi’s first impression was that she looked very young—exactly as described in the book. Round eyes, round face; when she was angry, she looked like a little pufferfish.

Ye Yixi didn’t act immediately. She watched from the sidelines to figure out what was happening. Through the gossip of the bystanders and Zhen Xiaobai’s protests, she pieced it together: The female lead was a new janitor who had accidentally stumbled into the banquet hall. She didn’t know she wasn’t supposed to be there and started cleaning. A drunken “Second-Generation” rich Alpha started harrassing her. The righteous female lead, in a fit of rage, splashed wine in his face and hit him with her broom. Now, he was grabbing her, refusing to let her leave until he got “compensation.”

Tsk. Classic Mary Sue plot. A clumsy but stubborn “Sweet and Naive” lead, a greasy, lecherous rich kid, and now, a wealthy heiress ready to “save the beauty.” The set was complete.

“Harassing an innocent Omega and then demanding compensation? Your skin is certainly thick enough,” Ye Yixi said as she stepped forward, her voice lazy.

Her words were like a bomb. Everyone turned around. The moment they recognized the heiress of the Y Group, their expressions shifted to fawning smiles.

“Who are you? You dare interfere in my business?” The drunk Alpha didn’t seem to recognize her yet, even as his companions tried to pull his arm, frantically signaling that the Ye family was not to be trifled with.

“I’ll let you know who I am right now.” Ye Yixi smiled thinly, picked up a bottle of red wine from a nearby table, and poured it directly over his head. Within seconds, the Alpha was soaked, his clothes stained a deep crimson. “Do you know who I am now?”

The Alpha sputtered as the wine got in his eyes and nose, coughing violently. He pointed at her, unable to speak, but the cold shock had sobered him up. Just as he grabbed the edge of her sleeve to threaten her, he recognized her face. He let go instantly and began apologizing profusely. A total 360-degree turn!

Ye Yixi was cheering internally. This feeling of crushing someone with status alone is amazing! The crowd didn’t dare intervene. She leaned into her arrogant performance, thinking it was a shame she didn’t have an Oscar.

“Oh my, let’s see who’s playing the hero here?”

Ye Yixi was wiping her hands with a tissue when a sarcastic, high-pitched voice cut through the quiet of the room. It was impossible to ignore.

She looked up to see a woman with voluminous wavy hair and a stunningly exquisite, flirtatious face. Dressed in a red gown, she approached step-by-step in high heels. Her status bar updated: 【 Shen Qingran, Daughter of the Chairman of S-Entertainment 】

Ye Yixi arched an eyebrow. The Second Female Lead. The Vicious Rival has arrived.

According to her memories, her character and Shen Qingran had never gotten along. Both were “Silver Spoon” heiresses. While their families collaborated, Shen Qingran despised Ye Yixi. She looked down on “Scum Alphas” who were arrogant and had messy private lives. To make matters worse, Ye Yixi had actually tried to flirt with Shen Qingran in the past. Truly a scum who wouldn’t let any beautiful Omega pass by…

Since that incident, Shen Qingran’s disgust had only grown, and Ye Yixi had responded with petty resentment. Whenever they met, they traded barbs. Even their parents were helpless to stop them.

Shen Qingran’s voice was actually quite soft and sweet, but she purposely used a mocking, “Green Tea” tone that sounded like a quintessential TV villainess. Her lips curved into a slight smirk, heightening her “bad woman” aura. The mole under her eye added a touch of seductive charm—she looked exactly like a beautiful, venomous serpent shifted into human form. Gotta admit, this ‘vicious rival’ is a top-tier beauty.

She glanced at Ye Yixi, then cast a meaningful look at Zhen Xiaobai standing nearby. As she brushed past, she leaned in and whispered in Ye Yixi’s ear:

“Miss Ye’s tastes certainly are… diverse. Now you won’t even let the cleaning girl go?”

Ye Yixi turned to watch Shen Qingran walk away, feeling bewildered. This Second Female Lead… is actually pretty interesting.
