After Mistakenly Marking a Sickly, Yandere Beautiful Omega, I Was Forced Into a Flash Marriage - Chapter 8

#Explosive! Renowned Director Ruan Zhao tries to “unspoken rules” top actress, then flips the narrative!#

#Li Xinyi suspected of tax evasion; currently under investigation by relevant authorities.#

#Top Movie Queen remains single [BOLDED]#

…

—OMG, what’s up with that last trending topic? Why does it literally say “BOLDED” in the title? Dying.

—Hahaha, which genius bought this trend? Everyone knows our Goddess is single; there isn’t an Alpha alive worthy of her!

—I knew Ruan Zhao was problematic! Rumors leaked before but were suppressed. Does she really think her pheromones smell good? Durian and coriander-scented Alpha… the thought alone is nauseating…

—Li Xinyi wasn’t even in the same league as Wu-Wu, yet she tried to climb over her… It’s one thing to clout-chase, but her own records are dirty? Truly low-tier tactics. I’m gonna barf.

…

An hour and a half later, Weibo was flooded with these clarifying trends, immediately sparking heated discussions among netizens.

Luo Yan stared at the trending topic Wei Ying had put up for her. What the hell is “Top Movie Queen remains single [BOLDED]”? It was so blatantly “methinks thou dost protest too much.” The big villain would know it was her doing at a single glance.

Furthermore, the content was a series of photos implying the villain was a loner: photos with single dogs and cats, eating a birthday cake by herself, waking up alone to make breakfast… To be honest, she admired Wei Ying’s ability to find so much material. Yes, the big villain was currently single, but that didn’t mean… no one cared about her!

The bond between the big villain and her Alpha “White Moonlight” was legendary! What was this “single” clarification supposed to be?

It was a massive headache.

“Luo the Third, why are you sighing? I gave you a free clarifying trend and you’re still not satisfied?” Wei Ying felt Luo Yan was becoming increasingly difficult. “I told you, you should just tell Xue Wu you’re her fiancée—the engagement was set by your families since childhood. Why emphasize her being single just to distance yourself? It’s so awkward!”

“…Please stop making things worse for me.” Luo Yan felt like she was facing total social death. Withdrawing the trend now would be even more suspicious, so there was no point.

But leaving it there felt wrong, too. She could practically feel the big villain laughing at her from behind a phone screen. Her life was too hard.

“Tsk, I’ve never seen an Alpha as cowardly as you. If you like her, just go say it. What’s with all this hiding? I look down on you.” Wei Ying had a straightforward personality: if she liked someone, she liked them; if she hated them, she hated them. She never hid her feelings. Seeing Luo Yan so conflicted was beyond her comprehension.

This girl doesn’t act like an Alpha at all!

Luo Yan didn’t want to talk to her anymore. How could she explain? She couldn’t exactly say she was a transmigrator who knew the whole plot—including the part where the big villain blackens and tortures her to death.

She sighed and decided to “rot.” Let the villain think whatever she wanted.

Fifteen minutes later, however, she saw a very abrupt message in her Weibo DMs. It was from the big villain herself. The content was highly suggestive: just a single “smiling” emoji…

Luo Yan: ……………….. Okay fine, I have fully received the villain’s cold, ruthless, and ironic laughter. qvq

“Hahaha! Ah Wu, you said that ‘currently single’ trend was bought by that little Alpha from the Luo family? She really is as interesting as you thought.” Lin Ling was dying of laughter looking at the trend Luo Yan had bought, including the content and comments.

Xue Wu was currently having her hair and makeup done. She kept her eyes closed, not looking at her phone. Her posture was relaxed, and a faint smile played on her lips. “She is indeed quite interesting.”

“But isn’t she the youngest Alpha of the Luo family? I’ve heard her character isn’t great. She’s always out at night clubs and bars with a bunch of low-lives, playing with Omegas. That Ji Tong… the eldest Miss Ji just went public with a new Omega a few days ago, very high profile…”

“So, while this Luo girl seems fun, it’s better not to interact too deeply.” Lin Ling and Xue Wu had debuted in the same girl group; she knew exactly how difficult the journey had been.

Especially for a top-tier Omega like Xue Wu… every smile was lethal to others. In a place as chaotic as the entertainment industry, countless people were eyeing her, wanting to “sponsor” her or even drug her for a forced marking… Lin Ling had seen it all.

Right now, they couldn’t tell what this Luo Alpha wanted from Xue Wu, so they had to be even more vigilant. They couldn’t be fooled by sugar-coated bullets.

“Just an inexperienced little Alpha.” Xue Wu already knew everything Lin Ling was saying. So far, she hadn’t taken the girl seriously, though the name “Luo Yan” felt faintly familiar to her.

But she couldn’t remember why, which proved the girl wasn’t anyone important. No need to pay much attention.

Soon after the clarifying trends went live, her manager called again. Xue Wu looked at the flashing name on the screen with a flash of irritation. Finally, she answered. Before the other side could start screaming, she struck first: “Wang Huina, let’s terminate the contract.”

“…What?” Wang Huina thought she had misheard. “What did you say?”

“I said, terminate the contract,” Xue Wu repeated calmly. “Rather than torturing each other every day, it’s better to end our professional relationship.”

“Can you afford the liquidated damages?” Wang Huina recovered quickly, counter-attacking immediately.

“Xue Wu, don’t forget you’re an outcast of the Xue family. They used you to pay off their debts. Your adoptive father is a gambler; do you have any idea how much money he owes Star Entertainment? That’s the only reason he pushed you out to earn money. You don’t actually think you’re some ‘Young Miss,’ do you?”

Ten years ago, the Xue family was indeed wealthy, but now, the family fortune was gone. Xue Wu had no leverage.

Xue Wu remained indifferent, acting as if she didn’t hear her manager’s insults. She continued in her own rhythm: “I recall our contract is nearing its end. I also fulfilled the betting agreement you set—in fact, I exceeded it. So, there’s no issue with me proposing a termination.”

“Xue Wu, aren’t you being a bit naive? As long as you’re a Xue, you work for the Xue family. Your adoptive father is lustful and addicted to gambling; do you think he’d let you go that easily? He already renewed your contract for another twenty years!”

Xue Wu pinched the bridge of her nose. Wang Huina’s triumphant tone was irritating. This life was following the same trajectory as her last one—they had sold her behind her back again, causing her so much pain.

But in her past life, she didn’t know how to resist and was manipulated by these people. This time, it would be different. She had new ways to deal with them.

“I didn’t realize I was still a minor who needed others to make decisions for me,” Xue Wu said coldly, completely unfazed. “Since Xue Yiren signed the renewal, he should be the one responsible for it. Whatever you want him to do has nothing to do with me.”

“Xue Wu, you talk big, but aren’t you a Xue? What can a defenseless Omega do without the Xue family? You only escaped Ruan Zhao last night because someone helped you. If you were alone, I’d like to see you try to get away!”

Hearing this, Xue Wu knew Wang Huina had definitely been involved in last night’s plot. She wasn’t angry; in her last life, she had fallen into the trap without knowing why, and only much later did she realize what had happened with Ruan Zhao. Now, she knew the truth—she just needed the evidence to send them away.

In this life, she wouldn’t let anyone who offended her off the hook.

“Sister Na, don’t tell me you were part of the planning last night.” Xue Wu’s voice softened as if she were becoming afraid, turning “pitiful.”

“Xue Wu, you know your status in this company. You might have won two major awards for us, but we can’t rely on you alone. We need to promote more people.” Sensing her fear, Wang Huina’s mood improved, thinking she finally had a handle on her. “You know Ruan Zhao’s status in the industry. Just one night with her could have brought huge benefits to the company. Why wouldn’t you do it?”

“Then… who was it… who drugged me last night?” Xue Wu asked with a trembling voice, sounding incredulous.

“Xue Wu, as long as you work for the company, it doesn’t matter who did the drugging.” Wang Huina had almost forgotten her original reason for calling, but at the last second, she remembered to keep the final secret. If she revealed the truth, Xue Wu might retaliate. She caught herself just in time.

“Was it… Chen Zitian?” Xue Wu tested the waters, her voice full of sorrow. “She’s always looked down on me. It must have been her.”

“At least you have some self-awareness.” Since Xue Wu had guessed it, Wang Huina saw no point in denying it. She said disdainfully, “Look at her status and look at yours. Don’t think too highly of yourself.”

“But… nothing I ate or drank last night passed through anyone else’s hands. How did she drug me?” Xue Wu continued, ignoring the warning.

“Xue Wu, your ‘pheromone disorder’ isn’t exactly a secret, is it? You were about to have an episode yesterday and needed medicine to stop it. How do you think Chen Zitian got to you?” Wang Huina wanted Xue Wu to “die knowing the truth” and didn’t realize she was being led into a trap—and that every word was being recorded.

Xue Wu’s voice trembled: “For the sake of… Ruan Zhao… you actually dared to use such a vicious method against me?!”
