After Transmigrating as a Scum Alpha, I Became the Sucker on a Dating Show - Chapter 1

[Holy sh*t, Tang Chi is participating in a dating show? Did she finally finish squandering the Tang family fortune? Bai Zhu is here too? Is Tianyu going bankrupt? Has the boss personally descended to the front lines to work? I don’t get it…]

[Why do these two certified “Scum Alphas” have the nerve to show up on a dating show? Are they just flaunting their wealth and power right in the public’s face?]

[With their looks and family backgrounds, all they’d need to do is crook a finger and sweet Omegas would throw themselves at them lol. If they even looked at me, I’d pull a “pro-fraud” fall straight into their arms—ah~ I’m dead.]

[Gotta say what needs to be said: these “Twin Scourges of Xing City” are truly scum, but they are also truly gorgeous.]

[Ahhh… why is my wife Shishi participating in a dating show… Mommy, I’m heartbroken, boohoo…]

[I hope those two Scum Alphas stay far away from my wife Shishi [prayer]]

[Heh… the person above is hilarious. As if Tang Chi and Bai Zhu would be interested in your black-hearted Movie Queen… Fans of a corpse (Shi fans), don’t come looking for trouble, get lost!]

[Personally, I think Tang Chi has zero Alpha-virtue and Jiang Shiluo has zero morals. Aren’t they a perfect match?]

[TBH, why does everyone assume Tang Chi is here for romance? Can’t she be here to entertain the masses like before? [Click this link] for a dose of happiness: “Tang Chi’s Collection of Useless Moments” is here. I’ll be very sad if even one person hasn’t seen this, OK?]

As soon as the dating show The Moment of Heartbeat officially announced its guest list, the official blog’s comment section was quickly overrun by netizens. The most discussed topics revolved around Tang Chi, Jiang Shiluo, and Bai Zhu.

Tang Chi and Bai Zhu were universally recognized as the “Scum Alpha” CEOs of various circles. The two played hard and weren’t picky about ABO types, earning them the nickname “The Twin Scourges of Xing City.”

Jiang Shiluo, while controversial, was the youngest, most beautiful, top-tier Omega Movie Queen in the history of Xing City’s box office—a powerhouse of both talent and beauty.

Although the “Twin Scourges” didn’t belong to the entertainment industry, their peerless looks gave them a massive following in fandom circles. Thus, the impact of topics surrounding them was no less than that of the popular Movie Queen, Jiang Shiluo.

In the urban area of Xing City, a luxury black van drove smoothly along the highway leading to the suburban villa district. Today, the guests of The Moment of Heartbeat were to hold a live-streamed introductory meeting at a suburban villa.

Inside the car, Bai Zhu was watching the “Tang Chi’s Useless Moments” video on her phone, laughing so hard she was doubled over. Her demonic laughter filled the enclosed cabin.

Wiping away tears of mirth, Bai Zhu said, “Ayo, President Tang, I never knew you were this funny. I’m dying. I hope you keep up the good work on the dating show.”

“Get lost,” Tang Chi spat out coldly. She snatched the phone Bai Zhu was shoving in her face, locked the screen, and tossed it onto the passenger seat.

“Speaking of which, why do you suddenly want to pick a high-quality Alpha for Jiang Shiluo? Is this a case of your conscience finally kicking in after marking her, wanting to find her a good home?” Bai Zhu looked at Tang Chi teasingly.

Tang Chi’s phoenix eyes, tilted at the corners, glanced indifferently at Bai Zhu. Her voice was flat but carried an underlying warning: “You don’t need to know that. Also, I didn’t mark Jiang Shiluo. Don’t go around ruining people’s reputations with your nonsense.”

Bai Zhu, who was drinking water, spat it out in shock. “You didn’t mark her?”

Tang Chi threw her a tissue, neither confirming nor denying.

She knew exactly why Bai Zhu was so shocked. After all, the “original owner” was never a gentleman in front of this fox-friend of hers. There was no logic in a top-tier sweet Omega being served on a silver platter and not being eaten.

Yes—the original owner.

In reality, Tang Chi was a transmigrator.

She had transmigrated into a Yuri ABO novel she’d just read titled She Is So Tempting, becoming the useless “Scum Alpha” CEO of the same name.

In the original story, the original host forcibly marked the heroine after she was set up by her own parents. Because of the heroine’s special constitution, once a permanent mark was made, she had to bond with the pheromones of the Alpha who marked her during her heat, or she would surely die. Forced by circumstances, the original host had to marry Jiang Shiluo.

But after bringing her home, the original host didn’t change her scummy ways. She did nothing decent, flirting outside and being abusive at home, making the heroine live in a literal hell on earth.

Ultimately, the Scum Alpha got her retribution. The heroine staged a comeback, bankrupted the company, removed the Alpha’s glands, and subjected her to endless torture.

When reading the book, Tang Chi only felt that the ending was incredibly satisfying. Far from pitying this useless Scum Alpha who shared her name, she had actually wanted to jump into the book and stab her twice herself.

But when she first arrived and saw the heroine’s eyes—full of pain and temptation—she only felt her skin crawl and her glands go cold.

Fortunately, the original host hadn’t had time to mark the heroine yet. Otherwise, Tang Chi really would have had to stab herself twice.

The reason she transmigrated was likely because she died in a multi-car pileup in her original world. Since heaven had given her a second chance at life, she intended to live it well. Rule number one for survival: Do not provoke the heroine.

As for where the original owner went, Tang Chi didn’t care at all. A Scum Alpha like that was probably erased by some mysterious force of divine justice.

Bai Zhu wiped the water off her clothes, looking even more confused. “So why are you helping Jiang Shiluo pick an Alpha? You went as far as increasing her appearance fee tenfold and fully sponsoring my dating show.”

Tang Chi showed a hint of impatience.

Bai Zhu, however, wasn’t intimidated. She said seriously, “Don’t tell me I don’t need to know. You’ve dragged me into this mess too, girl. Look at what people online are saying about me—asking if I’ve squandered my dad’s funeral savings and that’s why I’m on a dating show. Based on the moving sacrifice of me being willing to play a ‘Double Alpha Romance’ script with you, if I want to know, you have to tell me.”

At this, Bai Zhu hugged herself and retreated a bit, saying dramatically, “I’m telling you, don’t actually fall in love with me. In the future, I’m going to marry a sweet and soft Omega.”

If she didn’t still need Bai Zhu’s help, Tang Chi would have kicked her out of the car right then.

Tang Chi turned her gaze out the window, her elegant brows furrowing slightly. Why help Jiang Shiluo?

Most likely… because she didn’t want Jiang Shiluo to keep pestering her?

When she first arrived, she had been driven to the brink of collapse by Jiang Shiluo’s persistence.

Recalling that night, the air had been thick with the scent of lily wine. The fragrance had forcibly seeped into her skin, stirring up a wave of heat in her body as if someone had set a fire inside her.

Opening her eyes, she was met with the heroine’s stunning, flushed face. Every drop of blood in Tang Chi’s body screamed to possess and claim the sweet, alluring Omega in her arms.

Realizing her situation, Tang Chi ruthlessly bit her tongue to stay rational. Just as she tried to get up to find suppressants, Jiang Shiluo pounced on her.

Warm breath swept across the skin of her collarbone, sending shivers through her.

Jiang Shiluo’s voice was low and raspy, like a spell being cast: “President Tang, help me~”

Tang Chi bit her lip until it bled, pulling back the thread of sanity that was about to snap. She reached out and buttoned Jiang Shiluo’s clothes. “Miss Jiang, don’t catch a cold.”

When she spoke, she realized her throat was dry and tight, as if it would tear at any moment. She cleared her throat and continued, “I’ll go find suppressants for you.”

Luckily, the original host kept a stash of suppressants in every villa.

She found a suppression lozenge, took one herself first, and quickly returned to the room to feed it to Jiang Shiluo.

Unexpectedly, Jiang Shiluo kept her cherry-red lips tightly shut and refused to take it. After one failed attempt at coaxing, Tang Chi lightly pressed on her gland. The moment Jiang Shiluo opened her mouth to let out a soft gasp, Tang Chi slipped the lozenge in.

Omegas become physically fatigued and mentally drowsy after using suppressants. Once Jiang Shiluo fell asleep, Tang Chi left a note and bolted.

She thought that after seeing the note, Jiang Shiluo wouldn’t look for her again and they wouldn’t meet. To her surprise, when she went to work the next day, Jiang Shiluo was waiting for her at the company.

Tang Chi didn’t know if the original host would suddenly wake up. If she developed a marital relationship with Jiang Shiluo, the tragedy from the novel would repeat, and she wouldn’t escape a miserable end. To save her life, Tang Chi put on the original host’s “cold and heartless” Scum Alpha act. She offered to give Jiang Shiluo the project she had promised her father and even throw in some other good resources, on the condition that they never see each other again.

Surprisingly, Jiang Shiluo rejected her proposal.

For the next two days, Tang Chi didn’t see Jiang Shiluo.

This should have been a good thing. But one day, while out to dinner with Bai Zhu, they accidentally walked into the wrong private room because Bai Zhu remembered the number wrong. There, Tang Chi witnessed Jiang Shiluo’s parents verbally and physically abusing her.

Jiang Shiluo had been slapped hard by her father; a trail of blood immediately trickled from the corner of her mouth. The tears in her eyes seemed to have been held back for a long time, only spilling over the moment their eyes met.

In a trance, Tang Chi felt as if she were seeing her past self in Jiang Shiluo.

Tang Chi suddenly recalled Jiang Shiluo’s background in the original book.

On the surface, Jiang Shiluo was the eldest daughter of the Jiang family and a celebrated Movie Queen. In reality, she was just a tool for the Jiang family to generate profit. Her reputation had been sabotaged by her own family because they never cared about the quality of the products she endorsed—as long as the money was right, they made her take any garbage endorsement. If she refused, she was humiliated and beaten.

That night, the image of the red blood on the corner of Jiang Shiluo’s mouth haunted her. Once upon a time, her situation had been the same. Before she started her own business, she was just a pawn on her parents’ business map, suffering humiliation and abuse, forced to do things she hated with no way out.

As parents, they had far too many ways to punish their children.

Helping Jiang Shiluo was perhaps her way of helping her former self.

Or perhaps…

Watching Tang Chi’s contemplative expression, Bai Zhu suddenly seemed to realize something. “That night at dinner… you didn’t throw money into this dating show just because you felt sorry for her, did you?”

Tang Chi looked at her and remained silent, which was a tacit admission.

Bai Zhu: “I remember Jiang Shiluo’s family wouldn’t let her go on a dating show. But the Jiangs want to cling to you, so you dragged yourself into this just to get her family to agree to let her on the show?”

“Not bad, you’re pretty smart,” Tang Chi praised.

Bai Zhu clicked her tongue. “If you feel that much pity, why not just marry her? Why go through all this trouble?”

It even forced her to join the show.

Tang Chi said, “Impossible.”

The world is vast and brilliant; isn’t it better to just stay alive and experience it?

Bai Zhu gave a fake smile. “Fine, you’ve got ‘money-power.’ If you want to be a sucker, no one can stop you.”

In all her years, this was the first time she’d seen someone spend a fortune just to provide a dowry for someone else.

Just as she finished speaking, the car slowly stopped in front of a villa.

Tang Chi looked out the window; many staff members were standing outside.

The live guest meeting was arranged in a high-end suburban villa district of Xing City. The scenery was beautiful and pleasant, surrounded by greenery—a perfect place for rest and recuperation. Tang Chi stepped out and looked around, mentally planning to buy a building here after the show finished filming so she could come here to rest when she got tired.

Suddenly, she saw a car approaching from a distance. Forgetting to admire the scenery, she grabbed Bai Zhu and hurried toward the villa.
