After Transmigrating as the Villain’s Scummy Alpha "Dainty" Wife, My Escape Failed (GL) - Chapter 1

“As long as I drug Jiang Ci and take the photos, Jiang Wan will agree to be with me. If this works…”

“Jiang Ci has always looked down on me. This time, I’ll show her what I’m made of!”

“The Jiang family has already fallen. Even if I do this, I’ll get away scot-free. It’ll be fine, it’ll be fine…”

Chi Yuan had a splitting headache, her mind buzzing with the incessant chatter of a noisy voice.

“Hurry up and take the photos! I want to ruin Jiang Ci’s reputation!”

Damn, what is that? A ghost possession?

With a soft groan, Chi Yuan snapped awake from the foggy chaos.

The first thing she saw was a woman with slightly curly long hair lying on a dark brown sofa, her face flushed. A jade-like arm extended from a waterfall of black hair, gripping the sofa’s armrest so tightly that green veins stood out starkly against her fair skin.

She wore a black lace slip dress. A black suit jacket had been tossed onto the floor. The soft, silky fabric of the dress felt addictive under Chi Yuan’s touch.

Touch…

Chi Yuan: ???

She froze, quickly pulling her hand back. The zipper on the back of the woman’s black dress had already been pulled down halfway, revealing a smooth, lustrous back. Up close, she could see a seductive, beautiful red mole right in the center of her spine.

Holy crap… am I drunk and trying to assault someone??

Chi Yuan, who had been single for over thirty years across two lifetimes, thought: A person can’t… at least, they shouldn’t…

Was she dreaming too much lately? Was she actually trying to practice being on the edge of a criminal record?

She pinched her thigh to clear her muddled consciousness and, with lightning speed, yanked the zipper on the woman’s back shut.

The sudden movement startled the woman, whose consciousness was drifting. She turned around with great effort, her misty, reddish eyes staring straight at Chi Yuan, who was backing away in a clumsy panic.

When she saw the woman’s face, Chi Yuan couldn’t help but be stunned. An exquisite melon-seed-shaped face, a high bridge of the nose, porcelain skin, and a pair of shimmering eyes like autumn waters—damp and filled with ultimate allure.

Every feature hit her aesthetic preferences perfectly.

Inside, Chi Yuan was screaming like a marmot: Sister, I am so down for this!

But her body stayed honest, maintaining a safe distance.

One stood, one lay. They stared at each other for a full minute.

Suddenly, the beautiful sister on the sofa extended a hand as fair as warm jade and beckoned.

“Come here.” The woman’s breath was like orchids, the corners of her seductive eyes carried endless charm, but the ruthlessness and contempt flashing in her dark gray pupils were hidden exceptionally well.

Chi Yuan didn’t notice the undercurrents or the immediate crisis brewing behind the woman. She stepped forward and draped the fallen jacket over her.

“Sister, are you cold?”

Jiang Ci: “…”

Chi Yuan felt her hair stand on end from the woman’s suddenly cold gaze. A chill crept up her spine, and she couldn’t help but shiver. Tsk, she actually felt a bit cold herself.

Chi Yuan: “You…”

Just then, a sudden pounding erupted at the door.

Bang! Bang! Bang! “Chi Yuan! Chi Yuan! Are you done taking the photos?”

“I’m talking to you! It’s been so long, is it done? Jiang Wan is asking for an update!”

Chi Yuan felt dazed. Her brain took a marathon-length detour before she finally realized she was in a very strange place.

Wait, where am I?

The salty seawater, the heavy, wet body, the chest gradually filling with water, the air being sucked away—the despair of a blank mind due to suffocation.

After pushing a young girl safely to shore, Chi Yuan knew she was done for the moment a wave swept her back into the depths. Before losing consciousness, her life flashed before her eyes. She had achieved her goals and dreams; it felt like a complete life—

Complete my ass!

She didn’t regret saving someone, but she didn’t want to die so young. Her boxing gym had only been open for three months, revenue was peaking, and she still had students to teach…

If I could just have one more chance to live, no matter the conditions, I’d accept!

The memory ended abruptly. The knocking at the door became more frequent and frantic, as if they would break it down if she didn’t open up.

“Chi Yuan, don’t hide in there and stay quiet! I know you’re in there. Open the door, hurry up!”

“Is Jiang Ci awake yet? Hurry up!”

“What’s going on? Should we kick it in?”

“Kick it in, kick it in. Let’s see what the hell she’s up to.”

Chi Yuan rubbed her forehead. The name “Jiang Ci” sounded familiar. And “Jiang Wan”…

Wait? Isn’t this from that Yuri (GL) ABO novel she stayed up late reading the night before she… er, the night before she fell into the water?

The book was titled The Rise of the All-Loving Female Lead. It told the story of Jiang Wan, who was born into poverty but entered the entertainment industry with her outstanding looks. She accidentally awakened her “everyone-loves-her” attribute and rose to become a top-tier star and award-winning actress.

And Jiang Ci was the villainous female supporting character, the biggest stumbling block on the lead’s path to the top.

Jiang Ci was born into a wealthy family and entered the industry years before Jiang Wan, becoming a massive star. When Jiang Wan first debuted, she was nicknamed “Little Jiang Ci” because of their similar looks, which helped her gain fame.

However, the female lead took this nickname to heart and hated Jiang Ci for it, wanting to surpass her and become the industry’s number one.

Consequently, in every variety show, TV drama, or movie where Jiang Ci appeared, Jiang Wan would find a way to interfere… just to show everyone she was a hundred times better than Jiang Ci.

Yet, after a series of petty maneuvers, her reputation for “disrespecting seniors,” “being fake,” and “acting like a green tea bitch” became firmly established.

She hadn’t expected her reputation to tank, so Jiang Wan doubled down on schemes to eliminate Jiang Ci.

It was the first time Chi Yuan had seen a female lead with such a strong jealous streak. Are you sure this is the lead and not the villain? She wondered if the author forgot about “moral values” while creating the protagonist.

Curious to see how the lead would sabotage herself, Chi Yuan paid to binge-read the book overnight, only to see a familiar name in the later chapters.

Damn, the scummy Alpha married to the villain Jiang Ci had the exact same name as her?!

Feeling slightly offended, Chi Yuan endured the disgust to finish reading how this cannon fodder with her name played out her trashy schemes.

In the book, Jiang Ci and Chi Yuan were betrothed as children and were to marry upon reaching legal age. This kind of business marriage was common in high society. Compared to the wealthy Jiang family back then, the Chi family was actually marrying “up.”

However, fortunes changed. Due to a major investment failure, Jiang’s father ended up in prison, and the family declined. But the engagement was set; everyone in the high-society circle knew about it, and the Chi family couldn’t back out without losing face.

The cannon fodder Chi Yuan was a total mess—the spoiled heir of the Chi family who was pampered by everyone. She was incompetent at everything but had everything she wanted. When she found out she had to marry the “scary” Jiang Ci, she nearly fainted from rage.

She even publicly announced that she was just buying a “doll” to put on a shelf at home. This made Jiang Ci a laughingstock in their circle.

After marriage, Chi Yuan ignored Jiang Ci, treated her coldly, and continued her playboy lifestyle as if she had married air.

Until… she met the female lead, Jiang Wan, at a friend’s birthday party. From then on, her heart was lost. She became a top-tier “simp” for the female lead, radiating the “light and heat” of a dedicated backup.

To please the lead, the scummy Alpha Chi Yuan drugged Jiang Ci to take photos and ruin her reputation, causing her to lose everything. After committing every possible evil deed, Chi Yuan still dreamed of being with Jiang Wan—unaware she was just being used.

Eventually, Jiang Ci blackened for revenge and orchestrated a “car accident” to send Chi Yuan to the afterlife.

Even though they shared a name, Chi Yuan had cheered when she read about the car accident. The comment section was a celebration.

So… she had transmigrated?! Into that scummy cannon fodder who worked herself to death?

I’m screwed.

Thinking of the book’s description of the original host lying at the bottom of a cliff, covered in wounds and looking at the sky in despair, Chi Yuan gritted her teeth.

Thud!

She performed a solid, textbook-perfect sliding kneel right in front of Jiang Ci.

The marble floor was smooth and hard. Her bare knees hit the ground with a dull thud in the silent room.

The sharp pain in her knees didn’t hinder Chi Yuan’s acting; instead, the tears welling in her eyes made her look even more sincere. She cried out with deep emotion:

“Wife, I was wrong!”

The corner of Jiang Ci’s mouth twitched: “…”

Outside, the two burly men (both six feet tall) noticed Chi Yuan wasn’t responding, so they teamed up and kicked the door open.

They were met with the sight of Chi Yuan kneeling on both knees before Jiang Ci. Both were speechless.

What’s the deal? Do you have to kneel before taking someone’s scandalous photos? A case of a guilty conscience before doing the deed?

“Chi Yuan, what’s wrong with you? Is it done?”

“Sister Wan-Wan is waiting for your reply!”

But they didn’t get a reaction from Chi Yuan. Instead, they were stared at by the cold beauty on the sofa, making them break into a sweat.

“Jiang Wan sent you?” The question was firm, like a small hammer striking their hearts, startling the two men.

How did the drug wear off so fast? She’s already awake?

Seeing the conscious Jiang Ci, they looked anxious. They were hired by Jiang Wan to help Chi Yuan; if Chi Yuan backed out, they were supposed to step in and ensure the job was done.

Seeing the deal about to go down the drain, the men exchanged a look. The one on the left spoke first: “If she’s awake, just knock her out again. We’re two grown men; we can’t handle one drugged woman?”

The one on the right agreed: “Fine. We have to run anyway, might as well finish it.”

They began to creep toward the struggling Jiang Ci, step by step.

Jiang Ci bit her lip, refusing to show a hint of cowardice. Her hands were clenched into tight fists, a “do or die” look in her eyes as a faint silver glint flashed in her palm.

But before they could get close, the man on the left felt his wrist violently yanked backward. His vision blurred, he was punched square in the chest, and his body flew backward.

“Fuck! It hurts… ahhh!” The man on the floor curled up like a fried shrimp, clutching his chest and wailing.

The man still standing looked at the woman—who was a head shorter than him—and felt a sudden, instinctive urge to run.

Chi Yuan, who had stood up at some point, shook her hand with a look of disgust.

“If you’re going to fight, hurry up. Don’t wake my wife up while she’s trying to sleep.”
