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

At nine o’clock in the evening, at a high-end club in Jiangcheng.

The breeze on the terrace carried the coolness of the summer night, brushing against people with a faint chill. Xie Queyou frowned slightly, her silent thoughts throbbing with pain.

Her head felt as if it had been punched. She was dizzy and heavy-headed, and something seemed ready to burst out from her chest.

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

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

She had long, curly hair and wore a luxury short dress studded with diamonds. Her face looked gentle and harmless, but the gaze she directed at Xie Queyou was full of disdain.

The resplendent tiles around them reflected the light, magnifying the woman’s expression.

For some reason, pain stabbed through Xie Queyou’s heart. It was like an instinctive reaction from this body, making her somewhat afraid to meet the woman’s eyes.

Who is this? Wasn’t I home resting after taking sick leave because of a fever?

Before her thoughts could catch up, a sharp pain pierced through her mind, and memories that did not belong to her came roaring out.

The unbearable pain filled her head. Xie Queyou furrowed her brows, and amid the clamoring fragments of memory, she understood one fact.

She had transmigrated—into an ABO yuri novel.

The original owner, Xie Queyou, was the second daughter of the Xie family in Jiangcheng, a wealthy playgirl with an extremely bad character. But toward her girlfriend, she had been exceptionally devoted.

All of the original owner’s disreputable friends used to tease her, saying that a playgirl like her had actually settled down for an Omega.

Whatever her girlfriend said, she obeyed. If her girlfriend acted spoiled, she indulged her. Whenever her girlfriend brought up breaking up, she begged to get back together again and again…

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

When Wen Jing saw Xie Queyou’s stunned expression, she knew she had not been listening. Her brows furrowed, and her voice involuntarily grew louder.

“I said, let’s break up.”

“You’re just a Beta. You don’t have even a bit of pheromones. Being with you is too bland.”

“The one I like is an S-rank Alpha like your older sister. I only got together with you because of your sister. Just treat these past few years as charity from me.”

After saying this, she gave Xie Queyou another contemptuous look, then turned to leave—only for someone to grab her wrist.

“Make it clearer. Are we really breaking up, or is this another fake breakup?”

The memories in her mind were tangled and complicated, striking Xie Queyou’s nerves inch by inch. A few recollections surfaced of this girlfriend acting arrogantly toward the original owner.

Because she was confused, Xie Queyou did not restrain the force she used to grab her. From the outside, it looked very much like she was desperately trying to make her stay.

The people nearby had already noticed the argument. Now that they heard the commotion, several servers walked over, afraid something might go wrong.

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

“Stop dreaming. I won’t get back together with you. You’re a Beta, and I’m an Omega. It was impossible between us from the start. The only reason I dated you for so long was because you’re Xie Rong’an’s younger sister. If not to get close to your sister, who would date a country bumpkin Beta like you?”

People gradually gathered around them. Her voice softened slightly, and she rolled her eyes at Xie Queyou.

“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 speak, her sensitive sense of smell caught the cloyingly sweet peach scent on the woman.

She was allergic to peaches.

Xie Queyou’s brows immediately knitted together. She stepped back, subconsciously holding her breath.

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

Wen Jing froze. This was the first time she had ever heard Xie Queyou say that to her. Her expression changed again and again as if she had been humiliated. In the end, she stomped her foot hard, turned around, and left.

Even her retreating figure was filled with anger.

Only after confirming that the peach scent had completely disappeared along with the person did Xie Queyou finally relax her brows. The back of her neck seemed to have grown a little hot from coming into contact with an allergen.

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

The complex blend of scents made even breathing uncomfortable. Along with people’s mocking laughter and whispered gossip, the heat at the back of her neck grew even worse.

“Isn’t this Second Miss Xie? What’s wrong? Got dumped?”

“To think I’d actually get to see Second Miss Xie in such a sorry state. This trip wasn’t wasted.”

“So it’s true that the Xie family’s second daughter was found in the countryside.”

“What second daughter? She’s just a country chicken that flew onto a high branch. In my opinion, she isn’t a Xie at all. The Xie family has been gentle and refined for a hundred years. How could they produce someone as crude as her?”

…

“Don’t be heartbroken, Second Miss. Have a drink. I’ll take you somewhere else. The Omegas there definitely won’t be like your ex-girlfriend. They’re obedient and well-behaved. I guarantee you’ll like them.”

A glass of wine was handed to her, and along with it came the unpleasant fragrance on that person’s body, drilling into Xie Queyou’s nose.

Even more disgusting.

For the first time, Xie Queyou hated that her nose was so sensitive.

She pushed the person away without giving him any face and headed straight outside.

When she passed the people who had been discussing her earlier, her footsteps paused. Enduring the stench of perfume, she swept her gaze over one of the men from head to toe.

“With a mouth that dirty, did you just feast in the toilet?”

The man’s expression froze. He wanted to curse at her, but he was also afraid his mouth really did stink. He opened his mouth, then closed it again. His face alternated between green and red, making him look even more like he had eaten… something.

The people standing close to him immediately took a step back, covering their mouths and avoiding him as quickly as possible.

Xie Queyou gave a disdainful laugh and entered the elevator expressionlessly. Behind her, she could vaguely hear someone cursing, “A country Beta like her really thinks she’s upper class just because she basked in Xie Rong’an’s glory!”

The man still wanted to keep cursing, but he suddenly met Xie Queyou’s eyes as she stood in the elevator waiting for the doors to close. He bit his tongue and cried out in pain, looking like a chicken whose foot had been stepped on.

The elevator slowly descended, cutting off the mocking voices behind her. Xie Queyou finally gained a little peace.

Taking advantage of these few minutes, Xie Queyou endured the heat at the back of her neck and sorted out the current situation.

The original book was a melodramatic ABO romance novel about a powerful Alpha gong and her caged canary shou.

The protagonist gong once had a white moonlight, a movie star she had entered a business marriage with. But not long after the marriage, the movie star passed away from illness, and the gong fell into melancholy from then on.

Until she met the protagonist shou. That similar face and temperament instantly made the gong rediscover the feelings she had once had. After that, she used threats and temptation, forcefully taking the shou and imprisoning her at home as a substitute for her white moonlight. The two gradually developed feelings over time.

Unfortunately, after the protagonist shou fell in love with the gong, she discovered that she was only a substitute for the white moonlight. Heartbroken, she resolved to leave. The protagonist gong then suddenly came to her senses, leading into the classic “she runs, she chases” plot.

But none of this had anything to do with the original owner. She was only an early-stage vicious cannon fodder, an irrelevant character used to push the story forward.

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

Because of her ex-girlfriend’s change of heart, the original owner developed resentment toward her older sister. Using some unknown method, she caused the already chronically ill white moonlight’s condition to worsen until she passed away.

Later in the story, her sister discovered that the white moonlight’s death was caused by the original owner. In a rage, she sent her to prison, where she died by slow torture.

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

No. Absolutely not. She did not want to die.

The house she had just bought, the promotion she had just received—her wonderful life had only just begun. Even if she had to start over, she did not want to die.

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

The current plot should be right at the moment when the original owner was dumped.

There was still time. As long as she stayed quiet, did not cause trouble, did not touch the plotline, did not provoke that white moonlight in the book, and kept away from the protagonists, she could survive.

However, while she was rapidly thinking through her next steps, the heat at the back of her neck had already burned until her consciousness grew hazy. When she pushed open the club doors, she could not see the road clearly and accidentally bumped into a passerby.

The instant their skin touched, a pleasant, faint scent of cedarwood rushed over, instantly dispelling the unpleasant smells at the tip of her nose.

“Sorry.” Xie Queyou recovered some of her awareness and turned sideways to apologize.

That person said nothing and continued walking forward slowly, staggering.

Xie Queyou suddenly remembered that when their arms had touched just now, the other person’s body temperature had been terrifyingly high.

She hurriedly strode after her. Born tall, with a height of one meter seventy-five, she caught up in just two or three steps and asked softly,

“Are you all right? Do you need help?”

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

The woman did not respond. Her head was lowered, and her steps grew slower and slower. The faint cedar scent on her body gradually became stronger.

Yun Wangqing’s faint consciousness heard the other person’s question. She tried hard, but could only shake her head slightly.

“Don’t… call a doctor.”

Yun Wangqing bit down hard on her lip.

“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 a suppressant.

As Xie Queyou listened, the memories pouring into her mind told her that this woman seemed to have entered her heat period.

The world of this book was different from the world Xie Queyou came from. Apart from male and female genders, there was another ABO gender system. Starting from youth, everyone would differentiate into their own secondary gender. Alphas and Omegas would develop glands that carried pheromones, and they could also smell each other’s pheromones and mark one another. Betas could not smell pheromones, but they were also spared from the rut and heat triggered by them.

The original owner was a Beta and would not be deeply troubled by pheromones. Xie Queyou steadied herself, supported the woman, and walked into the nearby hotel.

After helping her to the door of the room and seeing the woman’s steps grow heavier and heavier, she stood at the doorway, still a little worried.

She did not know exactly what rut periods and heat periods in this world were like. At the moment, the safest option was still to send her to the hospital.

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

Yun Wangqing did not answer her. She impatiently took out an emergency suppressant and aimed the needle at the burning-hot spot on the back of her neck, about to inject it.

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

In her current condition, she could no longer withstand even a single injection of suppressant.

“Mm…”

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

Xie Queyou’s face changed drastically. She hurried inside and helped her up from the carpet. In an instant, the rich cedar scent surged into her nose.

Her heart skipped a beat, and she suddenly felt that something was wrong.

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

As she pulled the woman over and let her lean in her arms, Xie Queyou finally saw her face clearly.

Her skin was whiter than snow. Her cold, elegant features matched the cedar scent on her body, like an immortal descended from the heavens. She was breathtakingly beautiful.

Cold sweat had dampened her hair, sticking it to her cheeks. Her entire body was frighteningly cold.

Xie Queyou felt as if this person might collapse completely in the very next second.

The distance between them was too close. From Xie Queyou’s body came a faint, very pleasant scent of lime.

Unlike the usual Alpha scent Yun Wangqing smelled, the scent on this unfamiliar Alpha’s body did not make her feel repulsed.

The burning-hot gland at the back of her neck, the moment it came into contact with the scent of lime, actually began instinctively releasing an even more intense cedar fragrance—joyful, eager, longing to accept the Alpha’s arrival.

This had never happened before.

Yun Wangqing slowly opened her eyes. Her pale lips released a faint breath as she reached out and tightly clutched Xie Queyou’s sleeve.

“Help me… help me.”

The instant Xie Queyou smelled that intense cedar scent, the back of her neck suddenly burned with a high fever, as if some part of her was about to melt.

In that instant, her consciousness became even blurrier than before. She bit her lip hard, barely forcing herself to stay awake.

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

The original owner was a Beta and should not be able to smell the pheromones on Alphas and Omegas. But the cedar scent on this woman seemed to burn its way into her consciousness.

This was not perfume. It was pheromones!

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

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

She knew that in her current state, she probably could not stay in the same room as a woman in heat.

Pressing down on her head that felt like it was about to explode, Xie Queyou tried to grope for the phone that had been thrown into the distance. But before she could take two steps, the sensation that was several times worse than a fever grew even stronger, scorching her consciousness.

Unable to support herself, she immediately collapsed onto the carpet.

The cold fragrance at the tip of her nose was enough to make a person’s mind sink into oblivion.

Footsteps came from the sofa. A soft, fragrant, burning-hot body burrowed into her arms, accompanied by the woman’s faint sobs.

“Please… help me.”
