After Transmigrating As The Film Empress Sister’s Kept Alpha - Chapter 2
What could be more melodramatic than transmigrating into a novel and being forced to mark the female lead?
Transmigrating into a novel, thinking the person you marked was the female lead, only to discover she was not—and then having that mistake mercilessly exposed.
Shen Yishu covered her eyes. With her brain working fast enough to burn out a CPU, she managed to squeeze out an excuse even she did not believe.
“I was hallucinating.”
Ji Xiangyu shifted her posture and crossed her arms. Her expression remained indifferent, making it impossible to tell whether she believed her.
“I might have drunk too much.” At 175 centimeters tall, Shen Yishu sat upright and obediently on the sofa like a large cat, looking up at Ji Xiangyu. “My head isn’t very clear.”
Her expression was flawless as she stared at Ji Xiangyu with wide eyes and lied through her teeth.
Internally, she was cursing whatever unknown creature had thrown her into this novel.
Fine, it had thrown her into a book—but it had not given her a single piece of information, causing her to mistake someone else for the female lead the moment she arrived.
“Mm.” Ji Xiangyu smiled ambiguously. “So you lost control after drinking?”
Shen Yishu nearly wanted to cry.
Had she not called her “Miss Lin,” she would have been able to guess that the woman before her was not Lin Luosheng.
She thought back carefully. The descriptions most frequently used for Lin Luosheng in the original novel were “pure” and “outgoing.”
The woman in front of her, however, possessed a beauty so sharp that it could almost cut someone.
Her tone was distant, and even her smile frightened Shen Yishu slightly. She looked nothing like the woman who had just dug her fingers into Shen Yishu’s arm and urged her to hurry.
“I can take responsibility,” Shen Yishu said, sighing inwardly.
She had originally planned to establish herself in this world before dealing with relationships. Unfortunately, things had not gone according to plan.
At least she had not become involved in the love story between the author’s two precious daughters.
Ji Xiangyu looked Shen Yishu up and down, seemingly evaluating how sincere her words were.
Throughout her many years in the entertainment industry, Alphas, Betas, and Omegas had all offered themselves to her.
Omegas who mistook her for an Alpha were especially numerous. If they lined up, the queue could stretch all the way into the city center.
As for those who claimed they would take responsibility for her, there would be enough of them to fill every guest room in this hotel.
Most approached her because of her fame, her family background, or the resources she controlled. Others simply came because of her appearance.
She had encountered so many of them that she was already tired of it.
Shen Yishu was also studying Ji Xiangyu’s expression.
She could not determine Ji Xiangyu’s actual age, but she was probably considerably older than her.
A person’s bearing changed with experience. Judging from Ji Xiangyu’s composed and unreadable manner, she had likely heard flattering words from at least ten thousand Alphas.
Shen Yishu also did not know whether Ji Xiangyu truly wanted her to take responsibility.
However, she was not yet prepared to inherit the scumbag Alpha’s habit of wiping her mouth clean and walking away after taking advantage of someone. She had to make her stance clear.
Even if the woman before her had been Lin Luosheng, Shen Yishu would still have stayed to explain the situation.
If Lin Luosheng had demanded that she take responsibility, she would have accepted it.
“Do you know who I am?” Ji Xiangyu asked.
…She truly did not.
The original author was completely obsessed with her precious daughters. Aside from the two female leads, the other characters generally had no fixed descriptions beyond their initial appearances.
Shen Yishu looked innocently at Ji Xiangyu.
Although she did not speak, her eyes were filled with the words, I don’t know, like a large dog that had made a mistake and was staring at its owner, hoping to be forgiven.
Ji Xiangyu stared at her for several minutes.
The two simply looked at each other without speaking.
The noise downstairs gradually faded, and the hotel situated in the suburbs returned to silence.
The room was so quiet that only the central air conditioner’s gentle airflow could be heard.
Shen Yishu could even hear Ji Xiangyu’s fingertips brushing across her arm and the silk fabric of her nightdress swaying against her thigh before drifting away again.
Neither of them spoke.
Shen Yishu was afraid that the more she said, the more mistakes she would make, potentially angering the woman before her.
The original body came from a decent family, but she definitely did not rank highly among the novel’s major supporting characters.
Any person who appeared might deliver another heavy blow to Shen Yishu’s already difficult transmigration experience.
Ji Xiangyu was still studying her.
She was trying to determine whether the woman before her truly did not know who she was.
If Shen Yishu knew her identity, then offering to take responsibility was perfectly normal. She might even seize the opportunity to extort money from her.
But if she genuinely did not know…
“Shen Yishu,” Ji Xiangyu suddenly said.
After several minutes of silence, her voice had become even hoarser. Its usual coldness diminished sharply, replaced by a faintly ambiguous sensuality.
“Mm?”
“Twenty-three years old. Ignorant and uneducated. Loves going to bars. Fickle and promiscuous. Quite close with several wealthy good-for-nothings from the capital.” Ji Xiangyu lit up her phone screen and waved it in front of her. “And you especially like innocent-looking Omegas.”
Shen Yishu saw that the screen displayed a WeChat conversation.
Someone had sent Ji Xiangyu a long message. Unsurprisingly, it probably contained all the terrible things the original body had done—the sort of conduct that made readers curse and wonder why the character had not disappeared from the story already.
After finishing her final sentence, Ji Xiangyu raised an eyebrow.
“Have your tastes changed?”
Shen Yishu: “…”
She let out a long sigh and answered the question with complete sincerity.
“Aesthetic preference is subjective, but Sister’s beauty is objectively undeniable.”
Shen Yishu actually had a very likable face.
Aside from her long and narrow eyes, her chin was slightly short. When she smiled, even the trace of sharpness in her gaze softened.
She had long legs and a relatively short torso. Sitting on the sofa, she bent her legs in front of her and kept them obediently pressed together.
After hearing her answer, Ji Xiangyu suddenly felt an urge to pat her head.
But she would not do it.
Ji Xiangyu had already heard Lin Luosheng complain about Shen Yishu before coming to the filming location.
She truly was not a good person.
Although the Shen Yishu Lin Luosheng had described did not match the Shen Yishu standing before her at all, scumbag Alphas were best at disguising themselves and deceiving innocent Omegas.
Only after winning an Omega over would they reveal their true nature, abandon them, and leave their hearts shattered.
Ji Xiangyu had spent many years in the entertainment industry and had seen far too many similar situations.
Naturally, she would not fall for such a trick herself.
She merely rolled her eyes at Shen Yishu and said indifferently, “I don’t need you to take responsibility, but you must forget what happened tonight.”
Shen Yishu immediately perked up, her eyes becoming even brighter.
Ji Xiangyu’s attitude clearly showed that she did not want to take responsibility for what happened tonight and preferred that Shen Yishu forget it as well.
“Wouldn’t that be inappropriate?” If Shen Yishu had possessed a tail, it would currently have been wagging hard enough to create a miniature tornado. “You really don’t need me?”
Seeing Shen Yishu’s reaction, Ji Xiangyu sneered inwardly.
No matter how pleasant a scumbag Alpha’s words sounded, she still could not let go of the person she genuinely liked.
Ji Xiangyu was somewhat curious whether Shen Yishu would remain this delighted about not needing to take responsibility after learning her identity.
At the same time, she was slightly concerned that Shen Yishu might try to blackmail her.
“No. You can leave now. Your room key and phone are on the cabinet by the entrance.”
Ji Xiangyu rubbed the back of her neck, which was still slightly numb.
Shen Yishu abruptly stood from the sofa, bowed to Ji Xiangyu, and swiftly fled.
She was frightened of remaining even two seconds longer.
This Sister was clearly not someone to provoke. The faster Shen Yishu left, the better. Otherwise, the woman might suddenly become unhappy, call her back, and beat her up.
She quickly walked toward the entrance.
Sure enough, a room key and a phone were sitting on top of the white wooden cabinet.
Shen Yishu released a long breath of relief.
It was good that she had her phone.
A phone was the most important personal possession for modern people. Losing it meant that a great deal of private information inside could potentially be exposed.
For Shen Yishu, the more personal information the phone contained, the more it would help her understand the character called “Shen Yishu,” who had originally been nothing more than background cannon fodder in the novel.
She opened the door and stepped outside without even a second of hesitation, moving so quickly that she nearly created a gust of wind.
Ji Xiangyu remained leaning against the doorframe with her arms crossed, coldly watching Shen Yishu leave.
Just as the door was about to close, it suddenly stopped.
Shen Yishu’s fluffy head appeared from behind it.
In a voice neither too loud nor too soft, just enough to reach Ji Xiangyu’s ears, she said, “Sister, your suppressants seem to have stopped working. If things truly become unbearable, you can call me.”
After saying it, Shen Yishu felt she might be meddling too much.
After all, Ji Xiangyu had explicitly told her to forget everything that had happened tonight.
After pausing for two seconds, she added, “I’ll forget what happened tonight!”
She did not receive a response.
Just as she was about to close the door and hurry back to her room, she finally heard a light “Mm” drifting from inside.
After entering the elevator, Shen Yishu leaned against the wall and released a long breath.
The elevator’s walls were made of one-way mirrors.
Shen Yishu stared at herself in the mirror for half a minute and discovered that this face looked exactly the same as her original one. Even the position of the small curve at the center of her upper lip was identical.
Complicated emotions rose inside her.
Only now did she truly realize that, from this moment onward, she would have to live with the past of a person who shared her exact name, surname, and appearance.
If she was going to replace this person, she would have to endure every consequence created by the previous Shen Yishu’s actions.
Before leaving the elevator, Shen Yishu patted her own cheeks.
What else could she do?
She would simply have to make the best of it.
The room number was written on the key card.
Shen Yishu swiped it and entered. The lights were still on.
Compared with the presidential suite on the top floor, the ordinary standard room before her appeared rather shabby.
The bathroom was immediately to the right of the entrance, while farther inside stood a large bed.
A suitcase had been tossed beside the bed. The clothes inside were scattered messily, and some had even fallen onto the carpet.
Shen Yishu: “…”
The original owner truly had the habits of a spoiled princess.
Resignedly, she tossed the fallen clothes back into the suitcase, collapsed onto the bed, and took the phone from her bag.
Fortunately, modern phones could be unlocked with fingerprints. Shen Yishu did not need to worry about guessing a password and entered the home screen directly.
A flood of messages immediately appeared.
The various chat windows, each labeled with detailed notes, almost overwhelmed the inexperienced Shen Yishu.
[167 cm, 20 years old, sweet voice]: Sister, what have you been doing lately? When are you coming out to play with me?~
[170 cm, 25 years old, mature-sister voice]: Why haven’t you contacted me recently? Did you meet a new Sister?
[172 cm, 23 years old, peerless beauty]: Brand G released a new bag recently. I want it.
There were at least a dozen similar messages.
As Shen Yishu scrolled down the list, her eyes widened in astonishment.
She finally understood what “fickle and promiscuous” meant.
No wonder that Omega had refused to let her take responsibility.
If Shen Yishu were in her position, she would have beaten herself up that very night.
Shen Yishu rubbed her forehead.
She did not know whether any of these people were close enough to the original body to know her address.
If they were, she could not simply delete them. It would be even more difficult to explain if they appeared at her door.
She lay on the bed and stared at the ceiling, thinking for a long while.
Finally, she opened her phone, entered WeChat Moments, and posted a new update.
“I’ve met someone I like very much. I hope I can spend the rest of my life with her.”
Shen Yishu felt extremely clever.
Surely no one would continue bombarding this innocent little Alpha now!
