After Signing a Marking Agreement with the Abstinent Omega - Chapter 1

A cool summer night breeze swept across the terrace, carrying a slight chill that brushed against the skin. Xie Queyou frowned slightly, her heavy thoughts tinged with pain.

Her head felt like it had been punched—dizzy and heavy, as if something was about to burst out of her chest.

“Xie Queyou, did you hear what I just said?”

A woman’s voice broke through the fog in her mind. Xie Queyou forced her eyes open and saw a woman standing in front of her.

She had long wavy hair and wore a luxurious diamond-encrusted mini dress. Her appearance was gentle and harmless, but the look she gave Xie Queyou was full of disdain.

The surrounding glittering tiles reflected light, magnifying the woman’s expression.

For some reason, Xie Queyou felt a sharp pain in her heart. It was like a bodily instinct—she didn’t dare meet the woman’s eyes.

Who is this person? Wasn’t I on sick leave at home because of a fever?

Before her thoughts could catch up, a sharp pain pierced her mind. Memories that didn’t belong to her surged forward.

The unbearable pain flooded her head. Xie Queyou furrowed her brows tightly and, amid the chaotic fragments of memory, understood one clear fact.

She had transmigrated—into an ABO yuri novel.

The original owner, Xie Queyou, was the second young miss of the Xie family in Jiang City. She had a terrible reputation, but she was exceptionally devoted to her girlfriend.

All her fair-weather friends mocked her: a worthless rich girl who actually settled down for an Omega.

Whatever her girlfriend wanted, she obeyed. When her girlfriend acted spoiled, she indulged her. When her girlfriend threatened to break up, she begged for reconciliation again and again…

And the person standing in front of her seemed to be the original owner’s… girlfriend?

Wen Jing saw Xie Queyou’s dazed expression and knew she hadn’t been listening. She frowned, her voice growing louder.

“I said, let’s break up.”

“You’re just a Beta with no pheromones at all. Being with you is too bland.”

“What I like is an S-class Alpha like your sister. I was only with you to get close to her anyway. These past few years were just me doing you a favor.”

After saying this, she gave Xie Queyou another contemptuous look and turned to leave, but her wrist was suddenly grabbed.

“Make it clear. Are we really breaking up or is this fake?”

The memories in her mind were complicated and tangled, striking her nerves one by one. Some recollections of her girlfriend acting arrogantly toward the original owner surfaced.

Because she was still confused, Xie Queyou didn’t control her grip, making it look like she was desperately trying to hold on.

The people around them had already noticed the argument earlier. Now, hearing the raised voices, several staff members walked over, afraid something might go wrong.

Wen Jing glanced at the approaching people and shook off Xie Queyou’s hand.

“Stop dreaming. I won’t get back together with you. You’re a Beta, I’m an Omega—we were never compatible. The only reason I dated you for so long was because you’re Xie Rong’an’s sister. If it weren’t for getting close to her, who would waste time on a Beta from the countryside?”

More people gathered around them. She lowered her voice slightly and shot Xie Queyou a glare. “If you want to blame someone, blame yourself for not being your sister.”

As soon as she finished speaking, Xie Queyou’s consciousness fully returned. Before she could say anything, her sharp sense of smell caught the sickeningly sweet peach scent coming from the woman.

She was allergic to peaches.

Xie Queyou unconsciously furrowed her brows, took a step back, and instinctively held her breath.

“Then let’s break up. Stay away from me.”

Wen Jing was stunned. This was the first time Xie Queyou had ever initiated a breakup with her. Her expression shifted between shock and humiliation before she finally stomped her foot angrily and stormed off.

Even her retreating figure radiated fury.

Only after confirming that the peach scent had completely disappeared with the person did Xie Queyou relax her brows. The back of her neck felt slightly hot, as if it had come into contact with the allergen.

However, before she could sort out her current situation, she smelled many different mixed fragrances.

The complex scents made breathing difficult. Accompanied by mocking laughter and whispered gossip, the burning sensation on the back of her neck grew even stronger.

“Isn’t this the second Miss Xie? You got dumped?”

“I never thought I’d see Second Miss Xie looking so pathetic. Worth the trip here.”

“So it’s true that the Xie family’s second daughter was brought back from the countryside.”

“What second daughter? She’s just a country chicken that flew up to the branches. I don’t think she’s even a real Xie. The Xie family has a century of refined elegance—how could they produce such a vulgar person?”

…

“Don’t be too heartbroken, Second Miss. Have a drink. I’ll take you somewhere else. The Omegas there are obedient and sweet, nothing like your ex. I guarantee you’ll like them.”

A glass of wine was handed over, along with the unpleasant scent from the person’s body invading Xie Queyou’s nose.

It was even more nauseating.

This was the first time Xie Queyou hated how sensitive her nose had become.

She pushed the person away without any politeness and walked straight out.

As she passed the group that had been gossiping, she paused. Enduring the foul perfume, she swept her gaze over one of the men.

“Is your mouth that dirty because you just ate in the toilet?”

The man’s expression froze. He wanted to curse but was suddenly afraid his mouth really smelled. His face turned between green and red, making him look even more like he had… eaten something.

The people standing close to him immediately stepped back, covering their mouths in disgust.

Xie Queyou sneered coldly and walked expressionlessly into the elevator. Behind her came faint curses: “A country Beta who only climbed up by riding on Xie Rong’an’s coattails, and she really thinks she’s high-class now!”

The man wanted to keep cursing, but he suddenly met Xie Queyou’s eyes as she stood waiting for the elevator doors to close. He bit his tongue and let out several pained “Ow ow ow” sounds, like a chicken that had its foot stepped on.

The elevator slowly descended, cutting off the mocking voices behind her. Xie Queyou finally got a moment of peace.

Taking advantage of these few minutes, she endured the burning heat on the back of her neck and sorted out her current situation.

The original book was a melodramatic, abusive ABO yuri novel about an Alpha powerholder gong and her canary shou.

The protagonist gong once had a white moonlight—a movie star she was politically married to. However, the star died of illness shortly after the wedding, leaving the gong depressed for years.

Until she met the protagonist shou. The similar appearance and temperament instantly rekindled the gong’s old feelings. She then used both threats and promises to forcibly take the person, treating her as a substitute for her white moonlight and locking her at home. Over time, genuine feelings developed.

Unfortunately, after the protagonist shou fell in love with the gong, she discovered she was only a substitute. Heartbroken, she decided to leave. The protagonist gong finally came to her senses, leading to the classic “she runs, I chase” plot.

None of this had anything to do with the original owner, who was merely a vicious cannon fodder in the early stages of the story—an insignificant character used to advance the plot.

Her sister, Xie Rong’an, was the protagonist gong of the book.

Because her girlfriend had shifted her affection, the original owner developed resentment toward her sister. Using some unknown method, she made the already sickly white moonlight’s condition worsen, leading to her death.

In the later stages, when the sister discovered that the white moonlight’s death was caused by the original owner, she angrily sent her to prison, where she was tortured to death.

Xie Queyou had never read this book, but just from those four words, she already felt a chill run down her spine.

No, she couldn’t die.

She had just bought a house, just gotten a promotion—her bright future had only just begun. Even if she had to start over, she didn’t want to die.

Although she had only just transmigrated, Xie Queyou quickly adapted to the situation and rapidly made a decision.

The current plot point should be right after the original owner got dumped.

There was still time. As long as she stayed quiet, didn’t cause trouble, didn’t touch the main plotline, didn’t provoke the book’s white moonlight, and stayed away from the protagonist, she could survive.

While her mind was rapidly planning her next moves, the burning heat on the back of her neck had already spread to the point of clouding her consciousness. When she pushed open the club doors, she couldn’t see clearly and accidentally bumped into a passing pedestrian.

The moment their skin touched, a faint, pleasant cedar scent hit her, instantly dispelling the unpleasant smells at the tip of her nose.

“Sorry.” Xie Queyou’s consciousness cleared a little. She turned sideways and apologized.

The person didn’t speak and continued walking forward slowly, somewhat unsteadily.

Xie Queyou suddenly remembered that when their arms had touched earlier, the other person’s body temperature was frighteningly high.

She quickly strode after her. Being tall at 1.75 meters, she caught up in just a few steps and asked gently:

“Are you okay? Do you need help?”

“I’ll call a doctor for you right now.”

The woman didn’t respond. She kept her head lowered, her steps growing slower and slower. The faint cedar scent on her body gradually became stronger.

Yun Wangqing’s fading consciousness heard the other person’s question. She tried her best but could only shake her head weakly.

“Don’t… call a doctor.”

Yun Wangqing bit her lip hard: “Go to the hotel… up ahead.”

In the past, she had always endured her heat periods alone. This time would be the same. She needed to find a place where she could use inhibitors.

Listening to her, the memories flooding Xie Queyou’s mind told her that the woman seemed to be in heat.

This world in the book was different from Xie Queyou’s original world. In addition to male and female, there was another ABO gender system. Everyone differentiated into their own attribute during youth. Alphas and Omegas developed pheromone glands, could smell each other’s pheromones, and could mark one another. Betas couldn’t smell pheromones but were also immune to the sensitivity and heat periods caused by them.

The original owner was a Beta and wouldn’t be greatly affected by pheromones. Xie Queyou steadied herself, supported the woman, and walked into the nearby hotel.

She helped the woman to the door of a room. Seeing how heavy the woman’s steps had become, she stood at the doorway, still somewhat worried.

She didn’t know how severe heat and sensitivity periods were in this world. The safest option right now was still to send her to the hospital.

“Do you really not need me to call a doctor?”

Yun Wangqing didn’t answer her. She impatiently took out an emergency inhibitor and aimed the needle at the burning spot on the back of her neck.

The moment the cold needle tip touched her skin, a heart-piercing pain caused her strength to drain instantly.

Her current condition could no longer handle even one dose of inhibitor.

“Mmm…”

Yun Wangqing let out a muffled groan and collapsed onto the carpet in the living room.

Xie Queyou’s expression changed drastically. She hurried inside, quickly helping the woman up from the carpet. A rich cedar scent instantly flooded her nose.

Her heart skipped a beat. She suddenly felt something was wrong.

“I’ll take you to the hospital right now.”

Pulling the woman into her arms, Xie Queyou finally saw her face clearly.

Her skin was as white as snow, and her cold, ethereal appearance matched the cedar scent on her body. She looked like an immortal who had descended from heaven—unbearably beautiful.

Cold sweat dampened her hair, sticking to her cheeks. Her entire body temperature was terrifyingly low.

Xie Queyou felt like the woman would collapse at any second.

The two were pressed very close. A faint, very pleasant lime scent came from Xie Queyou’s body.

Unlike the usual Alpha scents Yun Wangqing smelled, this stranger Alpha’s scent actually didn’t make her feel repulsed.

The burning gland at the back of her neck, the moment it came into contact with the lime scent, instinctively released an even more intense cedar fragrance—joyful and eager to accept the Alpha’s approach.

This had never happened before.

Yun Wangqing slowly opened her eyes. Her pale lips exhaled weakly as she reached out and tightly clutched Xie Queyou’s sleeve:

“Help me… please help me.”

The moment the rich cedar scent hit her nose, a high fever surged up the back of Xie Queyou’s neck, as if a spot was about to melt.

Her consciousness became even more blurred than before in an instant. She bit her lip hard, forcing herself to stay somewhat clear-headed.

Even someone as slow as Xie Queyou realized at this moment that something was wrong.

The original owner was a Beta and shouldn’t be able to smell Alpha and Omega pheromones, yet the woman’s cedar scent was drilling into her mind like fire.

This wasn’t perfume—it was pheromones!

“Sorry, I think… I’m about to differentiate.”

Enduring the discomfort, Xie Queyou laid the burning woman flat on the sofa.

She knew she probably shouldn’t stay in the same room with a woman in heat right now.

Pressing down on her exploding head, Xie Queyou tried to reach for her phone that had been thrown aside. Before she could take two steps, the sensation—ten times worse than a fever—intensified, scorching her consciousness.

She couldn’t hold on any longer and collapsed onto the carpet.

A cold fragrance strong enough to drown one’s consciousness filled her nose.

Footsteps came from the direction of the sofa. A soft, fragrant, and feverish body burrowed into her arms, along with the woman’s faint sobs.

“Please… help me.”
