I Ran Away After Transmigrating as a Wealthy Daughter-in-Law  - Chapter 1

Jiang Pan gripped the sink, the harsh bathroom light reflecting her face in the mirror with shocking clarity.

It was a strange face, yet subtly familiar.

She touched her cheek in a panic. The real-life sensation made her hand tremble, and she quickly turned on the faucet to splash water on her face. After a quick wipe, she looked up at the mirror again and let out an instinctive scream, stepping back.

What’s going on?

All she did was wash her hands, and then everything went black. When she opened her eyes again, the face in the mirror was impossibly delicate. She knew she hadn’t slept well for days because of her research, but could that really be causing her to hallucinate?

As she stood there confused, a flood of memories suddenly rushed into her mind.

The impact was overwhelming, as if she were experiencing them firsthand. Jiang Pan froze, too stunned to react.

It wasn’t until the final memory—of death—that she finally reacted. Instinctive terror made her grab her head, close her eyes, and shake it. When she opened her eyes again, her face was ghost-white.

After a few seconds of stunned silence, she realized she had probably… transmigrated into a book.

As absurd as it sounded, the constant stream of information in her mind was all from a yuri ABO novel she had read.

In the novel, there was an Alpha with the same name as her, Jiang Pan, who came from a poor background. She met a sweet, naive Omega heiress, Jian Yue, and married into the wealthy Jian family after graduation.

The original Jiang Pan was a scumbag hiding under a beautiful facade. But it was precisely this good looks that had Jian Yue completely infatuated with her.

They say love makes you deaf, blind, and brainless. This was perfectly embodied by Jian Yue. She had grown up in a loving environment, and the biggest tragedy she had ever faced was her mother’s early death, but her memories of it were hazy since she was so young. Her father’s doting affection made her believe everyone was kind. That’s why when she finally saw the real Jiang Pan, her faith in love completely shattered, leading to her total corruption.

Thinking of how the blackened Jian Yue had tortured the original owner, Jiang Pan couldn’t help but think, “Serves her right.”

But now, she had transmigrated as Jiang Pan, and a heavy silence settled over her.

She had no desire to die young.

Jiang Pan sighed. She considered herself a good citizen—righteous, patriotic, and someone who would turn a lost coin over to the police. So why had she transmigrated into a scumbag?

Looking at the “stunning” face in the mirror, she couldn’t help but feel disgusted by the actions that came with it.

Wait a minute, Jiang Pan frowned. The plot she just absorbed… This was the moment the original owner locks her Omega wife Jian Yue in a room with a cannon fodder Alpha and records it, intending to frame Jian Yue for cheating.

This very event was the catalyst for Jian Yue’s transformation.

A shiver of fear ran through Jiang Pan. Without a second thought, she rushed out of the bathroom, grabbed the key from her memory, and, with a pounding heart, opened the door to that room.

The moment the door opened, a fresh, post-rain scent of earth hit her.

As a graduate student in agricultural science, Jiang Pan absolutely loved this smell.

But now was not the time to appreciate scents, because the sight before her was infuriating.

Jian Yue lay limply on the bed, her clothes torn, her black hair damp with tears. Her beautiful face was a mask of terror.

The cannon fodder Alpha, meanwhile, was smiling, slowly approaching her while taking off his clothes…

Jiang Pan lunged forward, grabbing the cannon fodder Alpha and yanking him out. He was completely caught off guard, and his lustful haze cleared a little.

“Jiang Pan, what are you doing?” she asked, clearly shocked. A look of sudden realization crossed her face. “Oh, you want to join in?”

“Join in my ass!” Jiang Pan roared, her rage boiling over. “What kind of filthy mind do you have? Get out of here right now!”

The cannon fodder Alpha’s expression soured. “Jiang Pan, watch your tone! You’re the one who told me to come here. What’s with the act?”

Reading this part of the novel had already disgusted Jiang Pan, but experiencing it firsthand was even more nauseating.

“Get out of here right now,” she repeated, trying to control her anger.

The cannon fodder Alpha ignored her and even smirked condescendingly as she adjusted her clothes. “Having second thoughts? Scared? Too late. Just wait to get thrown out of the Jian family.”

The original owner was a fool. In wealthy circles, nobody respected her except for Jian Yue.

If she had just worked hard and shown basic morality, she might have earned some respect from Jian Yue’s father.

Sadly, she never figured this out, not even at the moment of her death.

Looking at the smug, arrogant Alpha, Jiang Pan’s patience snapped. She grabbed a nearby vase and hurled it at her.

The cannon fodder Alpha reacted just in time, narrowly dodging it. Otherwise, she would have had a hole in her head.

Fear flickered in the Alpha’s eyes, and her arrogant expression turned to one of terror.

Jian Yue, on the bed, looked on in shock. The Jiang Pan she knew had never been so “unhinged.”

“Are you leaving or not?” Jiang Pan’s eyes were cold and sharp. “If you don’t, I’m calling the police! Let’s see who they arrest, you or me!”

The cannon fodder Alpha fled in a panic. Jiang Pan slammed the door shut, disgusted by the original owner. She was a complete monster.

Perhaps it was because she herself was a woman, but Jiang Pan was not a fan of authors writing female characters this horribly. In reality, some women were even worse than characters in novels.

Jiang Pan let out a wry laugh. She never thought she would transmigrate into such a terrible female character.

Regaining her composure, Jiang Pan looked at Jian Yue, and her eyes widened.

She could understand it now—the main character’s looks had to be top-tier.

But Jian Yue’s beauty was beyond excessive. Seeing her instantly flooded Jiang Pan’s brain with dopamine, making her feel happy and excited.

To be honest, she was also a little angry because she couldn’t understand why her mind was suddenly conjuring up such arousing images.

Jiang Pan didn’t understand pheromones, but she instinctively felt a strange heat and craving just from the smell in the room.

The scent was like an aphrodisiac; she couldn’t stay here.

Without thinking, Jiang Pan lifted Jian Yue onto her shoulder and ran out of the room, but her legs gave out, and they both fell to the floor in a tangled heap.

Jian Yue: “…?” What did I do to deserve this?

Jiang Pan: “…” I didn’t do that on purpose.

Jiang Pan’s mind was getting hazy. She felt weak, incredibly thirsty, and it seemed like only one thing could relieve her.

Jian Yue was in no better shape. She was in heat, and the coffee she had half an hour ago was laced with an aphrodisiac. She was in severe discomfort and desperately needed an Alpha’s comfort.

The scent in the room was growing stronger. Jiang Pan frowned. It was terrifying how just the smell alone could make her this aroused.

Using the last of her strength, she scrambled on her knees, dragging Jian Yue out of the room like a dead weight.

She found another room and placed Jian Yue on the bed. She was exhausted and just wanted to do something dirty.

This was a disaster!

Why did she have to transmigrate as someone so indecent?

Jiang Pan was baffled. What was even more confusing was that this new room also had the fresh, earthy smell of rain mixed with an unknown, incredibly alluring fragrance.

She inhaled it deeply, a little dizzy from the scent.

Jiang Pan turned to Jian Yue and said, “What perfume is this? It smells so good.”

As soon as she spoke, she looked at Jian Yue, and her heart skipped a beat.

She knew that main characters in novels were all stunning—otherwise, they wouldn’t be protagonists.

But facing a real, breathtakingly beautiful main character, Jiang Pan’s body instinctively wanted to get closer.

Jian Yue, however, seemed even more impatient. An Omega in heat desperately needs to be with an Alpha; without an inhibitor, she could literally overheat and die.

“So hot,” Jian Yue whimpered, her voice trembling as she fought her urges. “Get the inhibitor.”

Physiologically, an Alpha in the presence of an Omega in heat cannot control themselves. They can only think of one thing.

Jiang Pan had no strength left to get the inhibitor. Besides, she couldn’t remember a single plot point about what it looked like.

She tried to force herself to stand, biting her lower lip to suppress the overwhelming desire, but she just collapsed back to the floor.

A moment later, a burning hot body was pressing against her.

Jiang Pan froze, her heart pounding in her throat.

She tightly clutched the edge of the bed, struggling to calm her ragged breathing.

Jian Yue embraced Jiang Pan, her intentions crystal clear.

Jiang Pan’s hands on the bed trembled slightly.

Jian Yue rested her soft, fragrant head on Jiang Pan’s shoulder, having clearly lost all sense of self.

Her hot breath on Jiang Pan’s neck sent shivers down her entire body.

Jian Yue’s skin was pale, her body hot, her frame delicate, and her eyes mesmerizing. Even her black hair was alluring, combined with the seductive scent of her pheromones.

Jiang Pan couldn’t help but marvel. She was truly worthy of being a main character; just looking at her was enough to steal your soul.

Despite her last shred of sanity, she knew that she was like a fish on a cutting board.

Jian Yue’s soft lips pressed against hers…

Jiang Pan: “…”

She started it. It’s not my fault.

Her last bit of reason completely broke. Jiang Pan wrapped her arms around Jian Yue’s waist and leaned in for a kiss.

This night was destined to be a wild one.

***

Jiang Pan dreamed of flowers.

When she woke up, the scent of flowers was all over her body, her mouth, and even in her hair.

But when she saw the person sleeping next to her, she was instantly wide awake.

She fell into a deep thought, then into a self-imposed seclusion.

If Jian Yue, the main character, were to wake up, the first thing she would probably do is dismember her and feed her to the dogs.

At the mere thought of this possibility, Jiang Pan frantically started to clean up the “crime” scene, hoping for a lighter sentence.

She wanted to wake Jian Yue up but couldn’t muster the courage. She just sat by the bed, filled with a complex sadness, as if Jian Yue had taken her virginity.

But for Jian Yue, what was taken was her faith in love. If she woke up, she would see Jiang Pan as the original owner. Even if the events deviated slightly from the novel, the fact that the original owner had brought another Alpha here during her heat was enough to kill her a thousand times over.

Jiang Pan mulled it over. Should I just run?

As soon as her feet hit the living room, she ran into Jian Yue’s father, Jian Guangtao, who had just come home.

This added another unfortunate chapter to her tragic life.

Jian Guangtao looked at her with an expression of utter disgust, as if she were a piece of dog shit. “What are you sneaking around for?”

Jiang Pan froze. “…Exercising.”

“?” Jian Guangtao looked even more disgusted. He placed a folder on the sofa and sat down. “Where’s Yueyue? Where’s everyone else? Why are you the only one here?”

In the original plot, the owner intentionally sent the housekeeper away. Jiang Pan could only say, “Aunt Zhang went grocery shopping. Yueyue is still sleeping.”

Jian Guangtao gestured for Jiang Pan to get him a glass of water, as if she were a servant. Jiang Pan complied.

She brought him a glass of warm water, but he didn’t drink it. Instead, he looked at her. “About what I said last time, no matter what you think, I will not let you be with Yueyue anymore.” He then threw the folder in front of her. “I’m sure you’re smart enough to know what to do.”

Jian Guangtao had found out about the original owner’s underhanded dealings with the company. He couldn’t keep someone who would betray his family!

Besides, Jiang Pan was a man who married into the family, yet she was siding with outsiders. No matter how much his daughter liked her, he couldn’t afford to keep her.

If a person like her stayed in the Jian family, the whole family would eventually be ruined.

To avoid being kicked out by Jian Guangtao, the original owner came up with a wicked plan—locking Jian Yue, who was in heat, in a room with another Alpha to frame her for cheating. This move sealed her own fate and completely destroyed Jian Yue’s love for her.

Jian Pan felt for Jian Yue. The original owner truly didn’t deserve her. Jiang Pan picked up the folder and opened it. Inside were three copies of a divorce agreement.

Without even looking at the contents, she asked, “Is there no pen?”

Jian Dad: “?”

Jiang Pan’s eyes casually landed on his shirt pocket. She smiled, stretched her arm out, and took the pen from his pocket. “Borrowing this for a moment. Thank you.”

Jian Dad: “…”

After signing, Jiang Pan calmly put the pen back and handed him the signed agreement. “Done. Take a look.”

Jian Dad: “?”

That’s it? Just like that?

“You can read it. I’ll be on my way.” Jiang Pan wanted to find somewhere to be alone.

She was stuck with the blame for the original owner’s disgusting actions. The divorce papers were signed, so why wait around?

“Stop right there,” Jian Guangtao said, his gaze fixed on Jiang Pan, who was already at the front door. “Where are you going?”

Jiang Pan stopped and turned around, her face full of innocence. “I haven’t decided yet. Do you have any suggestions?”

Jian Guangtao: “…”
