The Anti-Alpha Protagonist is Exceptionally Biased Towards Me (GL) - Chapter 1
[Ding, host detected. System loading…]
[1%… 35%… 73%… 100%]
[Loading successful. Binding host: Gu Yu.]
[Ready. System 087 has been activated.]
…
It was a dark night, with heavy rain pouring down. Only the streetlights emitted a hazy glow in the downpour.
This was an old, dilapidated residential area. The surroundings were dirty and run-down, and the road was covered in puddles. A stray cat scurried by, looking for a place to shelter from the rain.
“Rumble—”
A loud clap of thunder and a flash of white lightning split the sky, illuminating a room on the second floor of a building in the complex.
A woman in a thin white bathrobe lay on the floor, unconscious. Her long, black hair was spread out around her, like a fine, dense spiderweb.
When Gu Yu opened her eyes, she felt a splitting headache. A spot on the back of her neck was throbbing, causing her great discomfort.
She leaned on a nearby table and struggled to get up from the floor, taking in the unfamiliar and simple environment with a sense of confusion.
Then, she called out in her mind: [System?]
The next second, a female robotic voice rang in her head: [Ding, System 087 is online. Does the host have any questions or commands?]
The tension in Gu Yu’s heart eased slightly. It seemed that this was not a dream.
She was originally a well-known actress, but long-term high-intensity work had caused her to die suddenly at home.
In the last second before her death, she signed a contract with a creature that called itself a system. As long as she completed the tasks given by the system, she would have a chance to be revived.
And now, she should have arrived in the mission world, or more accurately, in a novel.
Thinking about the information 087 had transmitted to her, a hint of complexity flashed in Gu Yu’s eyes.
She had entered an ABO novel and become a minor alpha character.
In this world, the male and female genders were downplayed, with the three main genders being alpha, beta, and omega.
The original novel, titled A Prison of Love, was a popular tragic romance on a certain website.
The protagonist, Song Xinran, was an omega from a top wealthy family. She was stunningly beautiful and unrestrained. With her older sister managing the company, Song Xinran had no heavy burdens and could live an almost carefree life.
But later, her family died in an accident and their business went bankrupt. Song Xinran was taken in by another protagonist. The once-proud woman became a captive, losing her freedom.
The two protagonists were tormented from beginning to end, experiencing a series of melodramatic events like having their glands removed, amnesia, and forced possession. Song Xinran was left bruised and battered. In the end, she completely turned dark, went insane, kidnapped the other protagonist, and drove off a cliff to die together.
Of course, none of this had anything to do with Gu Yu, as the character she had transmigrated into was a minor cannon fodder, an eighteenth-tier nobody in the entertainment industry who was poor and destitute. She used a fake online identity to engage in online relationships, hoping to gain benefits by deceiving people’s feelings.
In the original novel, her only interaction with the protagonist Song Xinran was when the original character, after going to great lengths, got her contact information. The two became friends, and the original character sent a few messages to get acquainted. Song Xinran found her too annoying and deleted her.
Therefore, Gu Yu frowned slightly and asked the system: [So, what do I need to do?]
087 answered methodically: [Because the ending was unacceptable to many readers, you, the host, need to change Song Xinran’s fate of death to quell the readers’ resentment and dissatisfaction.]
Gu Yu lowered her gaze in thought. The streetlights from outside mixed with the light inside, and her long eyelashes cast a shadow on her eyelids, concealing the emotions in her eyes and making them unreadable.
087 remained silent, spreading its consciousness to quietly observe the host it had carefully selected.
As a top-tier actress with countless fans, Gu Yu’s looks were not bad; in fact, they were quite outstanding, which was one of the reasons 087 chose her as the host.
The alpha had a tall physique. Without makeup, her skin was very fair. Her waist-length black hair and delicate facial features were complemented by crescent-shaped brows. However, the color of her pupils and hair was dark. There was a small black beauty mark below the outer corner of her right eye, like a drop of ink on a piece of white paper, which was particularly eye-catching.
The stark contrast created a sense of distance. At this moment, her pursed lips as she looked out the window made her seem even more unapproachable, like a proud white plum blossom on a snowy mountain.
Paired with that beauty mark, she exuded a sense of ethereal coldness.
The heavy rain was still falling outside. The air carried a chill, but the back of her neck was hot and swollen, making it impossible to ignore. Gu Yu touched that area of skin and felt that the texture was different from the surrounding skin, as if… it was softer.
087 saw the faint confusion in her eyes and spoke up: [Host, that is your gland, which is currently in the process of maturing.]
[Gland?]
[Yes. Because of the great resentment from the readers about the ending, this world is undergoing some unknown changes.]
[Host, your situation is special. The original body was brought in. To maintain stability, the world’s consciousness provided you with a gland setting. The maturation process is uncomfortable, but please bear with it.]
Gu Yu gave a soft hum in response.
The room was too dark, so she turned on the light on one of the walls. The cool white light illuminated the room, making its condition clearer.
The room was very small and cluttered with various items. At a glance, it was dirty.
She was a bit of a clean freak and couldn’t help but furrow her brows at the sight. Even the small mole under her eye moved slightly, making her look even colder and more unapproachable.
But only Gu Yu herself knew that she was simply worried about the big cleanup that was about to begin.
She casually changed into a clean set of clothes. For convenience, her black hair was tied up in a bun, revealing her delicate features and fair neck.
The room’s layout was very simple. On the only table sat a computer and various cluttered items and trash. Gu Yu, wearing a pair of black gloves, was about to sweep the trash on the table into the trash can when she accidentally hit the mouse.
The computer had automatically gone into sleep mode from being left untouched for too long. With her touch, the screen lit up, showing the last page that was open before it went to sleep.
It was a chat interface. On the left was the contact list, and on the right was the chat window.
Gu Yu’s eyes were uncontrollably drawn to the prominent row of red dots on the left contact list. Many people had sent her messages.
The contents were:
[Baby, are you asleep? Why aren’t you replying to me~]
[Xiao Yu’er, this is my new bag, isn’t it pretty? Let’s meet up. Next time, will you accompany me shopping, big sister?]
[Hmph, how dare you not reply to my message for so long? What are you doing? It’s true that all you alphas are like this, you don’t know how to cherish what you have once you get it! (Angry with hands on hips)]
[Big sister, I got my paycheck. I’ll transfer some to you to buy pretty clothes. Love you. [Transfer]]
There were many messages like these. Except for the one with the transfer, none of the other messages had been replied to.
Only one person was an exception.
She couldn’t help but look at the chat window on the right. Unlike the left, the system showed that the two had become friends at 5 PM. After the friend request was accepted, the original character almost couldn’t wait to send a message to greet the other person. After not getting a reply, she sent four or five more messages to try and get closer.
But the other person still didn’t reply, leaving only the original character’s lonely messages in the chat window.
The original character’s note for the other person was—
Song Xinran.
Seeing this name, a ripple stirred in Gu Yu’s heart.
Song Xinran, one of the protagonists of this world, the eldest daughter of a top wealthy family, an omega whose status and wealth were worlds apart from the original character, and also… her mission target.
This was the precious contact information that the original character had bought from someone else, almost bankrupting herself.
At the same time, on the other side, at the Song family villa, it was late at night, but it was still as bright as day.
A huge crystal chandelier hung, illuminating every inch of the magnificent hall. In this prime location, the villa was astonishingly large.
A late-night party was being held here, and the lively atmosphere blocked out the sound of the rain outside. Song Xinran was sitting on the sofa, holding a glass of red wine, her expression weary.
Someone sat down next to her: “Xinran, aren’t you going to continue playing with everyone?”
Not far away, a group of people were playing a game together. Most of them were omegas, with only a few betas.
Song Xinran glanced over there, then withdrew her gaze and took a light sip of the red wine in her glass. She said, “You guys play. I’m a little tired.”
She wasn’t in the mood today because of the sudden onset of her estrus period in the afternoon. She had just injected her inhibitor, and her body was still uncomfortable, leaving her with no energy.
Omegas experience a estrus period once a month. The estrus period is painful and uncomfortable, and inhibitors can only provide relief unless they are marked by an alpha.
However, every omega’s estrus period has a specific time, but Song Xinran was different. Her body was special, and her estrus period was irregular.
Xu Ru looked over with concern. “Did your estrus period come early this time?”
Song Xinran didn’t answer, a silent acknowledgment.
Xu Ru sincerely suggested: “Given your situation, why don’t you find an alpha to temporarily mark you? It might make you feel much better?”
Their two families were family friends, and Xu Ru’s relationship with Song Xinran was much closer than with other friends, so she naturally knew more about her.
She knew that Song Xinran’s body was a bit special. When her omega mother was pregnant with her, she was busy with work and overworked, which led to Song Xinran having an unstable pregnancy and being born prematurely.
Because of this, Song Xinran’s health was not very good since she was a child. Her gland was underdeveloped, and the discomfort and pain she experienced during her estrus period were several times that of other omegas.
But because of an experience in her childhood, Song Xinran had a stubborn and strong-willed personality. Xu Ru could already predict her answer to this suggestion—
“No need. I don’t like feeling weak.”
As expected, Xu Ru sighed lightly and looked at her omega friend.
Song Xinran’s looks were undoubtedly stunning. Even after being friends for many years, she would often get lost in thought looking at her face.
Just like now, the other person was simply wearing a red high-waisted dress that accentuated her slender waist. Her flaxen hair was loosely draped behind her, with a few strands falling on her arm, exuding a natural charm.
Because she was feeling unwell, her expression was weary, but her features were extremely bright. Her beautiful, soulful eyes sparkled as she held the wine glass and looked over, resembling a blooming rose in full fragrance, making one’s heart skip a beat at a single glance.
No wonder so many socialites were smitten with her.
Even though she knew it was highly unlikely, she still asked one more time without much hope: “Are you really not going to consider finding an alpha? I think that young master from the Xie family is quite devoted to you.”
Song Xinran finished the rest of the red wine in one gulp and answered resolutely: “I won’t consider it.”
