After Transmigrating into a Scumbag Alpha, I Became the Female Lead's White Moonlight (GL) - Chapter 1

The hot afternoon sun shone through the floor-to-ceiling window into the top-floor office of the Chi Group’s corporate building, a blindingly white light.

“Dong, dong, dong—”

A knock on the door woke the woman napping on the sofa.

Sleeping in an office was uncomfortable enough, and being disturbed made Chi Huan’s mood even worse.

She reached out to shield herself from the sun, slowly opened her eyes, and asked impatiently toward the door, “Who is it?”

A capable female voice came from outside the door: “President Chi, Miss Lu is here.”

Miss Lu? Lu You?

Chi Huan immediately sat up straight. She didn’t even have time to smooth out the wrinkles in her clothes from sleeping. She darted over to the desk in three steps, and in her haste, she knocked over a photo frame on the desk. Her heart clenched, and she quickly set the photo frame upright.

Clipped inside the frame was a photo of two young girls. One girl had her head slightly bowed, her pure and delicate lily-like face bearing a shy smile, while the other had a look of utter impatience, a grim expression as if she were facing execution.

Chi Huan’s gaze quickly passed over the photo without lingering.

—It was pointless to look. This photo frame had at most one minute of life left.

In one minute, the photo frame would be knocked to the floor by “Chi Huan’s” small girlfriend, Lu You, who had come to visit. The fragile glass couldn’t withstand the impact, shattering instantly and revealing another photo hidden beneath the one of them together.

That was “Chi Huan’s” cherished White Moonlight, Mu Yi.

As soon as Lu You picked up that photo and saw the person who was at least seventy percent similar to herself, she would understand that she was merely a stand-in for Mu Yi.

And this, too, became the starting point of Lu You’s darkening/blackening.

【Key plot point triggered. Please, Host, complete the required plot.】

The System’s cold, mechanical voice rang out, recalling Chi Huan from the plot.

She sighed internally.

What kind of nonsense is this?

Last night, she was excitedly burning the midnight oil over a novel she finally liked, and today she transmigrated into that very book, becoming the titular Scumbag Alpha with the same name and surname who committed all sorts of evil deeds.

Since ancient times, having the same name makes one prone to transmigration—it truly is an eternal truth!

If it were the original novel, it would have been simple: she just had to be a scumbag to the White Moonlight and mentally and physically abuse the little stand-in. However…

Thanks to the persistent insults from readers, the Scumbag Alpha Chi Huan was honorably decommissioned from the main attacker role and was directly reduced to a named cannon fodder character in the book.

Yes, cannon fodder. Not even a villain, just a stepping stone for the protagonist in the early stages. Her only role was to motivate the protagonist, eventually kneeling in the dust to see the protagonist become a god.

When she woke up to find she had become “Chi Huan,” Chi Huan nearly spat out a mouthful of old blood.

She didn’t want to be cannon fodder!!

Being cannon fodder has no future, and certainly no money!

Chi Huan immediately decided to save herself, starting with… clinging to the female lead’s thigh!

Only five minutes after making this decision, she had already mentally drafted the one, two, three, and four essentials of being a dedicated bootlicker…

Then, before she could put it into practice, the legendary System in her head started beeping:

【Please, Host, restore the novel’s plot and send the Female Lead to the peak of her life.】

Chi Huan refused: “Why should I?!”

They won’t give her a single cent, yet they expect her to risk her life?

What kind of pipe dream is this?

The System was clearly not negotiating and spoke heartlessly: 【If the task is overdue or incomplete, the System will implement penalty measures on the Host.】

Chi Huan asked curiously, “There are penalty measures? What kind of penalty?”

【Annihilation.】

WTF?

Since her life was on the line, Chi Huan softened: “Dearest…”

The System was unmoved: 【Please, Host, adopt a proper attitude and actively complete the task.】

Soft approach doesn’t work, huh? Fine, I’ll fight you!

Chi Huan rolled up her sleeves.

“I don’t care, I don’t care, I don’t care!! No benefits, no work!! I’m screwed anyway, just kill me now!!” she wailed while pounding the sofa.

【?】

“Kill me, and then you can go find a younger, more obedient one, wuwuwu, you heartless jerk, how long have we been together, and you’re already thinking about the next one!”

【??】

“You’re not saying anything? You’re admitting it! You really do have someone else! Why is my life so miserable…”

【???】

After half an hour of friendly communication, the System finally relented and promised to spare her life and give her half of the fortune after the plot was over.

The condition was that she must follow the plot properly!

Once the female protagonist of this novel, “Lu You,” transforms from a little abused white flower into the refreshing female lead, reaching the pinnacle of her life, she will be free from the System’s control and can start to fly freely.

Money! Beauties! Freedom! Everything will be hers!

What’s so bad about being cannon fodder? This little setback? Would Chi Huan be afraid?

No, impossible!

Nothing can stop your yearning for freedom, a whimsical life, with your heart unburdened and free of concerns~

…Her thoughts had wandered.

Chi Huan wiped her face and calmed herself down. What must come will come; the sooner the plot is over, the sooner she’ll be free.

“Come in.”

The office door opened, and the secretary turned sideways to let the person beside her into the room.

The girl had a slender figure. A white, long dress with a cinched waist perfectly showcased her graceful curves. Her dark hair was tied up with a green ribbon, and her eyes sparkled, light and spirited, like a sprite in the mountains.

The secretary silently closed the door and retreated.

Lu You could no longer hold back. She lifted her skirt and scurried into Chi Huan’s arms. Her fair and delicate face was full of joyful excitement: “Chi Huan, I brought you…”

The Omega in her arms was soft and delicious. The fresh lily scent dispelled the summer heat-induced irritability, bringing pleasure from the bottom of one’s heart. However, with the beauty in her embrace, Chi Huan was somewhat distracted.

She was fixated on the precarious photo frame on the desk. Two seconds later…

“Clatter—”

“Ah!” Lu You was startled by the photo frame that shattered at her feet, letting out a small gasp. She bent down to pick it up, “Isn’t this the photo we took at graduation? I wondered where it went, turns out it was in your office…”

Before the girl could finish, the happy smile froze on her face.

The shattered glass couldn’t hold the photos. Under the girl’s shy smile, an old, yellowed photo slipped out, landing right at Lu You’s feet.

The photo was of a girl with clear, refined features, straight and elegant like a green bamboo but with the warmth of jade. Most importantly, her features were strikingly similar to Lu You’s.

Chi Huan, standing beside her in that photo, was looking at her, her eyes full of smiles, looking genuinely cheerful—a stark contrast to the half-dead expression in the other photo.

Lu You picked up the two photos, holding the little slips of paper in her pale, tender palm. She lowered her head, silent, her soft bangs falling down to cover most of her fair face.

Chi Huan’s gaze was deep and serious as she looked at her.

Help!

Is it time for her to deliver her lines?

How was she supposed to handle this scene?

Chi Huan’s brain CPU spun until it smoked, and she finally recalled the novel’s plot she had read last night—

“Chi Huan” snatched the photo away with a movement that could be called crude, yet her expression was somewhat uneasy. She quickly suppressed this faint guilt, frowned, and coldly scolded: “Don’t touch my photo!”

Lu You was stunned by the shout and looked up blankly. Her clear, deer-like eyes, distinct in black and white, made “Chi Huan’s” despicable thoughts appear even worse.

“Who is she?”

Chi Huan nervously checked the photo, afraid that the glass shards had left even a tiny scratch.

Seeing the photo was intact, she finally sighed in relief.

Hearing Lu You’s question, she raised her head. The tenderness and adoration in her eyes faded like water, replaced by a look of impatience: “Why are you asking so much? It has nothing to do with you.”

Chi Huan immediately breathed a sigh of relief, clenching her fist internally to encourage herself.

Just two lines! Chi Huan, you can do this. You are “President Chi” now!

Don’t be a coward, just do it!

She took a step forward, just about to snatch the photo, when she felt a sudden sharp pain in the sole of her foot.

“Ah!!!”

Lu You was still immersed in comparing the two photos, her heart filled with unspeakable sadness and a chest full of unspoken questions when a scream rang in her ear.

She looked up in confusion to see Chi Huan hopping on one foot to the office chair. She quickly put her foot up on her other leg, looking down at the sole of her foot.

The Alpha’s pale instep was tensed in a beautiful arch, the round toes curled, and a piece of shattered glass was clearly embedded in her tender sole—one of the thousands of brave souls that broke off the valiant photo frame a minute ago.

Chi Huan cursed internally.

Why the heck did you take a nap when you had nothing else to do! Why did you take your shoes off for a nap! Why didn’t you put them back on!

Oww! It hurts so much!

Lu You was distraught and at a loss: “I… I’m so sorry, it was my fault for accidentally breaking the photo frame! Are you okay? Does it hurt?”

Chi Huan’s face was contorted: “It’s… it’s fine. It’s just this glass shard—”

It was embedded so deeply; she probably needed to go to the hospital to have it removed.

Before she could finish her sentence, Lu You bit her pink lips, as if having made a decision, and tremblingly reached out her hand toward her.

Chi Huan thought to herself that this girl was truly kind. She had just personally witnessed the Scumbag Alpha’s sweet old photo with her White Moonlight, yet she was still willing to help her without holding a grudge. She truly deserved to be the protagonist who remained unshaken through two dynasties!

Well, it was good, too. In her current condition, she really couldn’t get to the hospital by herself.

She took Lu You’s hand, just about to use the support to stand up, but Lu You skillfully bypassed her hand and, with a strong tug, directly pulled the piece of glass out with her hand.

Chi Huan: “!!!!”

Chi Huan immediately broke out in a cold sweat. Her remaining leg was shaking like a sieve, and she nearly fell out of the chair.

She looked at Lu You in disbelief.

Sister, are you taking revenge on me?

The loss of the blockage, coupled with the secondary damage caused by direct pulling, quickly caused blood to surge out, staining Chi Huan’s long pants red.

Lu You was on the verge of tears: “How could this happen? I just wanted to help you. Chi Huan, are you okay? Wuwuwu, I’m so clumsy! You’re bleeding so much!”

Chi Huan forced a smile: “I’m… fine. Thank… you.”

Not only was she fine, but she even wanted to belt out a song.

Let me say thank you to you, because of you, the four seasons were warmed.

Lu You’s eyes were brimming with tears of self-reproach. Her soft little hands held Chi Huan’s foot: “I was afraid it would get worse if you went to the hospital like this, but I didn’t expect… Chi Huan, wuwuwu, I’m too clumsy! You’ve lost so much blood!”

【Plot delay. Please, Host, complete the plot content as soon as possible. Annihilation for overdue.】

The cursed System completely ignored the real-life situation and started screaming in her head.

But Lu You had already thrown the photos somewhere.

Chi Huan endured the pain, her face pale. She scanned around and finally saw a familiar corner in the gap under the table.

She tried to reach for it but realized that in her half-crippled state, she couldn’t reach the photos. Her eyes darted, and she suddenly realized that this was the perfect opportunity to say her lines!

She used her other hand—the one that hadn’t carried her stinky foot—to pinch Lu You’s pointed chin. She stared at the girl’s tear-streaked face and spitefully began: “Who told you to throw away my photo? Pick it up for me!”

Lu You’s heart trembled from the shout, but she was still worried about her foot. She said anxiously, “Why are you still worrying about the photo now? I’ll call Secretary Zhao and have her arrange a car to take you to the hospital!”

Chi Huan’s face darkened: “Don’t take matters into your own hands. Didn’t you hear me tell you to pick up the photo?”

The Alpha’s domineering pheromones surged out. The rich scent of red wine quickly invaded the entire space. Lu You’s face turned ashen, oppressed by the extremely heavy pheromones.

Chi Huan paused, wondering if she had gone too far. Using pheromones to bully an Omega—wasn’t that just pure hooliganism?

Just as she was about to retract her pheromones, Lu You seemed unable to support herself and fell to the floor. The foot she was holding was abruptly tugged as she went down…

Chi Huan: “!!!”

She struggled to control herself from falling sideways, trying not to land directly on the fragile Omega. She was nearly six feet tall—what would happen if she fell on her?

However…

Chi Huan silently lifted her hand. In the palm of “Chi Huan’s” hand, which had been pampered for years, a few crystal-clear glass shards were stained with her blood, reflecting a hypnotic, blood-diamond-like color in the sunlight.

When the photo frame broke, the glass shards scattered everywhere. The large ones were easy to find, but the small fragments were hidden in the soft carpet and were invisible to the naked eye.

The female lead, who had fallen to the floor, hadn’t even scratched her skin, while she had precisely stepped on a mine, now with three shards embedded in her hand.

Chi Huan: “…”

Is this the price of being a Scumbag Alpha?

The System spoke faintly: “I forgot to mention, Host, your luck value will be tied to the Female Lead’s mood value.”

“When the Female Lead’s mood value drops to 30, your luck value will drop below zero.”
