After Transmigrating As The Film Empress Sister’s Kept Alpha - Chapter 1

The dim yellow floor lamp barely illuminated one corner of the hotel sofa, staining half the wall gold. It resembled a crescent moon that could only hook a few scattered clouds.

Her sweat-soaked clothes clung tightly to her chest and back, trapping fresh perspiration beneath her skin. The stifling agitation reached her before full consciousness did, weighing on her until she could barely breathe.

Shen Yishu frowned in discomfort and opened her eyes groggily. A lock of hair brushed across her face, carrying the scent of rosemary with it.

The fire inside her burned even hotter. Restlessness circled her heart, searching for an outlet.

She lifted her eyelids.

From her angle, she could only see the owner of the hair sitting with her back turned. Long, black curls swept back and forth across her waist, though a few unruly strands refused to stay in place.

Shen Yishu had no idea what was happening. She struggled to sit up.

The woman with her back to her noticed the movement and turned to look at her.

Her collarbones were narrow and sharply defined, forming two deep hollows. Her shoulders were slender and slightly curved, while her neck was delicate and porcelain-white, like an alluring stick of incense.

The incense was nearly burned out, and the last thread of Shen Yishu’s reason was close to snapping.

Only then did she realize where the burning heat inside her was coming from.

Most people differentiated when they turned eighteen. Some became Alphas, some became Omegas, but the majority became Betas.

As an Alpha, Shen Yishu knew the symptoms of an Alpha’s rut all too well.

But she had clearly just taken a suppressant. Why had she suddenly entered her rut again?

Shen Yishu swallowed and finally met the gaze of that seductive fragrance.

Then she understood.

The Omega before her had also entered her heat.

The woman’s gaze was indifferent—so indifferent that Shen Yishu felt as though she were looking at the bedsheets rather than at her.

However, the redness at the corners of her eyes betrayed her true state.

The scent of rosemary in the air grew increasingly intoxicating. Shen Yishu even felt as if she had fallen into a sea woven from rosemary petals. The waves rocked gently, while she lay unsteadily in a small boat, constantly on the verge of toppling over.

Ji Xiangyu turned her head and took a drag from her cigarette.

She did not like the smell of smoke, but she hated the way she lost control of herself during her heat even more.

The lingering harshness of tobacco seemed capable of suppressing that restlessness, preventing her from sinking completely into a sea of desire.

She slowly exhaled the smoke.

Her long, narrow eyes blinked, a watery mist covering them and softening the sharpness at their corners. Beneath her high nose bridge, her lips were tinged peach-red. Her upper lip pressed down slightly as the smoke slowly rose, curled twice through the air, and then dissipated.

It was a long exhale.

Only after the smoke had completely left her lungs did Ji Xiangyu turn back toward Shen Yishu.

“Have you looked enough?”

Her voice was slightly hoarse, with a lingering quality at the end that even sounded faintly coquettish.

Ji Xiangyu seemed disgusted by that trace of softness in her own voice. She clicked her tongue, stood, and pressed the cigarette butt into the ashtray.

Shen Yishu desperately wanted to ask where she was, who this woman was, and why a lone Alpha and Omega were sharing the same room.

The moment she sensed that something was wrong, a flood of information flew into her mind like countless sheets of paper.

She stared into Ji Xiangyu’s eyes, frozen in place.

She—Shen Yishu—had transmigrated into a novel.

More importantly, she, a pure and innocent young Alpha who had never even held a little Omega’s hand throughout her entire life, had transmigrated into a depraved scumbag Alpha who committed every imaginable evil, spent her days indulging in pleasure, and possessed truly terrible morals.

In the original novel, she was merely a vicious scumbag Alpha—an obstacle in the love story between the two female leads and an insignificant, unpopular actress in the entertainment industry.

She repeatedly made life difficult for the female lead, Lin Luosheng. She even drugged her, filmed a malicious video, and attempted to mark her, intending to destroy Lin Luosheng’s will and ruin her reputation.

Naturally, she did not succeed.

The female lead would rather die than submit, and her destined Alpha descended from the heavens to rescue her.

Afterward, the destined Alpha and Lin Luosheng joined forces to take revenge on her.

She was forced to leave the entertainment industry in disgrace, abandoned by her family, and ultimately ended up shedding tears behind prison bars.

It had to be said that the scumbag Alpha’s fate was truly a case of evil receiving its rightful retribution.

She deserved every bit of it.

The problem was that Shen Yishu had now transmigrated into her body, and there happened to be an Omega directly in front of her.

Almost instantly, she wanted to leap up and flee.

As the saying went, anyone could be offended except the protagonists.

She had no desire to cry behind prison bars.

Ji Xiangyu pressed down on her wrist.

The fingers that had just held the cigarette were slender and cold.

Ji Xiangyu was clinging to her final thread of reason. Merely maintaining her current state had already consumed nearly all her strength, so the hand resting on Shen Yishu’s wrist was hardly applying any force.

Even so, Shen Yishu stopped moving.

She could easily have forced her way free and left, but as though compelled by some unseen force, she remained still, wanting to see what Ji Xiangyu intended to do.

The fingers around her wrist tightened slightly.

Ji Xiangyu’s knuckles turned white, while the place where their skin touched seemed to burst into flame, creating an unbearable itch deep inside her heart.

“Mark me.”

Ji Xiangyu uttered words that Shen Yishu had never expected to hear.

Without the cigarette’s influence, agitation surged like waves in the night, crashing again and again against the shore until Ji Xiangyu felt dizzy.

“I don’t think that would be appropriate.” Shen Yishu rejected her without hesitation. “A decent person shouldn’t take advantage of someone while they’re vulnerable.”

The scent of rosemary grew even heavier.

Shen Yishu thought that if the female lead did not release her soon, she really was going to lose control.

Ji Xiangyu scoffed.

She no longer bothered wasting words on Shen Yishu. The tiny amount of reason remaining in her mind was rapidly disappearing.

If she could not receive a successful mark soon, then once she completely lost her senses, she could not be certain what uncontrollable things might happen between her and Shen Yishu.

Shen Yishu was just about to suggest that she leave and call for an express delivery of suppressants when Ji Xiangyu bent down and moved closer.

Her pupils were as dark as ink, but the mist in her eyes added an unusual softness to them.

As her face approached, Shen Yishu was struck breathless by her beauty.

No one was completely immune to beauty, and Shen Yishu was no exception.

The fragrance of rosemary enveloped her.

Soft lips brushed against her earlobe.

Ji Xiangyu’s hands—the same hands that had held the cigarette—gripped Shen Yishu’s chin, leaving a faint trace of tobacco on her fingertips.

With a little force, she tilted Shen Yishu’s head aside, exposing the Alpha’s neck.

The Alpha’s neck was equally slender and pale.

Ji Xiangyu licked her lips and bit down.

For an Omega to bite the back of an Alpha’s neck was an unmistakable provocation.

No Alpha in the middle of her rut would willingly expose the back of her neck to a stranger.

The last shred of Shen Yishu’s reason burned away.

She was no saint.

Besides, Ji Xiangyu had requested it herself. After Shen Yishu refused, she had even deliberately provoked her.

Ji Xiangyu suddenly smelled an overwhelming eruption of cedarwood.

Then the world turned upside down.

The white bedsheets disappeared from her vision, replaced by the white ceiling.

Shen Yishu bent over her.

The corners of her lips naturally tilted upward, so even when she was not smiling, she did not appear aggressive.

However, her similarly long and narrow eyes were now filled with the danger of a hunter who had discovered her prey and was waiting for the perfect moment to strike.

“It might hurt a little.”

Shen Yishu blinked, then grinned, revealing one sharp canine tooth.

“Sister, bear with it.”

Whether before or after transmigrating, Shen Yishu was younger than the female lead. There was nothing wrong with calling her Sister.

When Shen Yishu had first awakened, she had still been too dazed. Her pheromones had been completely suppressed by Ji Xiangyu’s rosemary fragrance.

Now that her emotions had surged out of control, the scent of cedarwood exploded through the room like damp fog, pressing down on Ji Xiangyu until she could barely breathe.

It was like drowning while clinging to a piece of driftwood.

Her previous indifference vanished completely.

Shen Yishu’s canine teeth pressed against the Omega’s soft, delicate skin.

She had never marked anyone before. At most, she had learned a little about it from biology textbooks, so her movements were inexperienced and reckless.

Exhilarating hormones surged through their veins.

Both their faces turned scarlet.

Ji Xiangyu’s fingertips dug into the flesh of Shen Yishu’s arm, urging her to stop tormenting her.

“Hurry…” Ji Xiangyu breathed rapidly, barely able to form a complete sentence.

Shen Yishu turned over.

She fell from the boat and plunged into the sea woven from rosemary petals, sending a wave surging outward.

…

Before losing consciousness, Ji Xiangyu tilted her head back and stared helplessly at the ceiling.

What happened next truly would not be something she could control.

However, Shen Yishu did not actually do anything else.

She had read in books that Omegas in heat sometimes behaved in ways they could not control because of their pheromones. She believed that was what had happened to the female lead.

After giving Ji Xiangyu a temporary mark, she immediately climbed out of bed.

A temporary mark could last for several days. That should be enough time for the destined Alpha to arrive and save her.

Shen Yishu could only hope that when the female lead and her destined Alpha arrived, they would show mercy after considering that she had not actually done anything beyond marking her.

Her mind was still muddled as she walked out of the bedroom.

The hotel room was a suite.

Shen Yishu planned to find a corner where she could stay until her head cleared, allowing her to sort through what had happened and decide what she should do next.

The two scents inside the bedroom remained intertwined.

When Shen Yishu stepped outside, she opened the fresh-air ventilation system with an indescribable expression, closed the door, and walked toward the suite’s living room while clutching her head.

An intricately patterned carpet covered the floor.

An ivory sofa and a glass coffee table stood in the center of the room. The crystal chandelier overhead was reflected in the glass tabletop, producing a dazzling light.

A foam container sat on the coffee table.

Only when Shen Yishu approached did she discover that it contained Omega-specific suppressants packed with ice.

Beside the foam box was another opened packet of suppressants.

It was already empty.

Shen Yishu instinctively looked toward the bedroom.

She had assumed that the female lead had lost control because she had no suppressants and had therefore asked Shen Yishu to mark her.

It now appeared that was not the case.

Still somewhat dazed, she put down the empty packet and sat on the sofa. She rubbed her aching temples and began sorting through the information in her head.

After sitting there for a while, Shen Yishu gradually recalled the original body’s character background from the novel.

She was an obscure, unpopular actress.

The entertainment industry had at least a thousand, if not ten thousand, insignificant performers like her.

She was currently filming a drama called The Golden Hairpin, which also starred the female lead.

Lin Luosheng had earned the role of the third female lead through an audition, while Shen Yishu had bought her way into the cast as the fourth female lead.

Although they were both unknown actresses, the ways they entered the production were entirely different, and the crew naturally treated people according to their status.

There was no shortage of beautiful women in the entertainment industry, but very few had someone powerful supporting them.

In the crew’s eyes, Shen Yishu was beautiful and backed by money, so it was only a matter of time before she rose to fame.

Therefore, they fawned over Shen Yishu and opposed Lin Luosheng at every opportunity.

Shen Yishu: “…”

This was truly the standard path of cannon fodder.

Aside from the two of them, the actresses playing the first and second female leads had both been acting for several years.

The actress playing the first female lead had even won major awards.

In the original novel, she was described as astonishingly beautiful. Everyone who saw her was amazed that someone could naturally possess the appearance of the Creator’s most favored masterpiece.

Shen Yishu unconsciously glanced at the bedroom door again.

She wondered how the female lead of the drama compared to the female lead of this novel.

The plot should currently have reached the point where, after repeatedly trying to sabotage Lin Luosheng only to have the situation turned against her, the original Shen Yishu became furious from humiliation and resorted to underhanded methods.

Then Shen Yishu transmigrated and became the scumbag Alpha herself.

She had not done the things the scumbag Alpha had done.

Instead, she had done something the scumbag Alpha had never done—

She had bitten the female lead.

Would it still be possible to beg the female lead for mercy?

Even if she listened to “Clockwise in Reverse” ten times, time would not turn back to the moment she first transmigrated.

Shen Yishu could not find a phone nearby, so she could only wait for the female lead to awaken and explain the situation.

She walked over to the floor-to-ceiling window and opened it.

The night breeze carried the coolness of late summer and gently brushed across her cheeks. Shen Yishu narrowed her eyes comfortably.

From one side of the balcony, she could see the hotel’s main entrance.

A black Rolls-Royce was parked directly outside, surrounded by a group of security guards.

A person in a white shirt carried another person whose face was covered into the back seat.

Only a pair of pale lower legs beneath a suit jacket could be seen.

The car sped away.

Shen Yishu was still wondering whether she had just witnessed another novel-like romance when the bedroom door opened.

The flush on Ji Xiangyu’s face had not completely faded. The lingering aftermath of passion remained at the corners of her eyes and brows.

She wore a silk camisole nightdress, its thin straps resting on her shoulders.

The nightdress was well-tailored and gently fitted at the waist, outlining the Omega’s graceful curves without clinging too tightly, concealing even more unseen details.

She leaned against the doorframe with a phone in her hand.

She wore no shoes.

Shen Yishu estimated that she was at least 173 centimeters tall, only slightly shorter than herself.

Her left knee was slightly bent while her right leg remained straight and slender, making her resemble a fashion model posing for a photograph.

Only then did Shen Yishu notice that Ji Xiangyu was barefoot, her feet resting directly on the carpet.

Shen Yishu stood.

She silently rehearsed the words she had prepared, then cleared her throat.

“Miss Lin, I’m sor—”

Ji Xiangyu raised her eyes and looked at her with a faint, ambiguous smile.

“Miss Lin?”

Shen Yishu continued carefully considering her wording.

She did not know which word she had gotten wrong. She stared into Ji Xiangyu’s eyes without speaking.

“I’m not Lin Luosheng,” Ji Xiangyu said directly, without keeping her in suspense.

“…Huh?”

Shen Yishu was so shocked that she could not react for a moment.

Seeing the stunned expression on Shen Yishu’s face, Ji Xiangyu suddenly felt a surge of irritation.

Her expression turned cold, and the mocking smile on her lips deepened.

“Are you disappointed that I’m not Lin Luosheng?”
