The Matrilocal Alpha and the Cold Actress Sweetly Explode on a Romance Variety Show (GL) - Chapter 1

“Your credit card ending in 3885 has been overdue for a long time. The total amount due for this billing cycle is ¥20,047.35, with a minimum payment of ¥20,047.35. If the overdue period exceeds 60 days, your installment plan will be canceled, and your personal credit record will be affected. Please make your payment promptly…”

Yu Xingyu looked at the debt collection text message on her phone, finally feeling a touch of reality about having transmigrated into the ABO world.

She had just graduated from university and received an offer from a jewelry design company. She was about to start the job but lost her life while bravely saving someone who sank underwater in a river.

When she woke up again, she had transmigrated into the body of a down-on-her-luck and miserable female Alpha in the ABO world.

The original owner’s mother had passed away early, and her father’s business failed, leaving behind a debt of 30 million yuan that he couldn’t repay. Out of desperation, he chose to commit suicide by jumping off a building.

After her father’s death, this debt fell onto the original owner. The original owner was hounded daily by debt collectors and could only use her credit card to make ends meet. The unbearable pressure forced her to take numerous part-time jobs—tutoring in wealthy homes during the day and working as a waitress in a hotel at night, hoping to ease the burden.

A few days ago, because she failed to make a timely payment that month, she was violently threatened by the debt collectors. While trying to escape, she fell down the stairs and died on the spot. That’s when Yu Xingyu transmigrated into her body.

Yu Xingyu deeply sympathized with the original owner’s plight, but the situation she now faced was a hellish starting point.

The original owner’s debt had now become her own. She had to live a life constantly on edge, with no room to refuse.

She thought of the debt collectors’ vicious methods—if the deadline was missed, they would pull out the debtor’s fingernails one by one and force her into improper work. A shiver ran down her spine at the thought.

She lamented her bad luck—why did she have to transmigrate only to owe so much money? She truly didn’t know how many years it would take to pay it all back. The huge debt felt like a suffocating mountain pressing down on her.

Yu Xingyu sighed. Fate must be playing a joke on her, forcing her to endure a life of suffering. But there was no alternative; she had already died once, and just being alive was a blessing. No matter how tough life was, she had to persevere.

She checked her watch; it was almost time for her night shift at the hotel.

She got up from the messy, hard bed, roughly pulled on a worn-out T-shirt and jeans, covering her long, fair legs.

The Alpha’s figure was tall. The clothes carried a faint scent of roses, very fresh, like dewy rose petals in the morning. Her slender physique looked healthy, but due to long-term malnutrition, her waist was extremely thin.

Grabbing her canvas bag, Yu Xingyu looked a bit listless. Her long hair was tied back casually, revealing an exquisitely delicate face, with confusion in her eyes.

From the original owner’s memories, she knew that the salaries for ordinary people in this society were generally not high. A fresh university graduate’s monthly salary was only about 4,000 yuan. The original owner hadn’t even graduated and couldn’t apply to many companies. She couldn’t imagine what kind of job would allow her to repay a multi-million-yuan debt in a short time.

The jobs she was doing now were all part-time, with no strict educational requirements, but they were barely a drop in the bucket for her debt. At this rate, she might not pay it off even if she worked for several decades.

Fortunately, she had studied jewelry design. Once she had time, she would check the internet in this world to see if she could take on some design commissions, which might help ease the pressure.

Yu Xingyu changed buses several times and finally arrived at her part-time workplace: Wanda Empire.

This was a five-star hotel.

Her usual job here was a night-shift service staff, delivering meals to guests and arranging their check-ins. The night shift was generally quiet; as long as the guests were asleep and nothing unexpected happened, she could work until dawn and then clock out.

Yu Xingyu entered the staff changing room through the hotel’s back door, quickly changed into the service uniform, put on her ID badge, and hurried to the working floor via the staff elevator.

The meticulously arranged décor made the hotel look extremely luxurious. The walls on the guest floors were adorned with gold chandeliers and gorgeous murals. Soft wool carpets covered the entire floor, making every step feel like walking on a cloud. The furniture in the guest rooms was carefully crafted by top designers.

If she weren’t working here, she probably wouldn’t have the chance to step inside in her entire life.

A single night’s stay here could easily cost as much as her entire annual salary.

The guests staying here were all distinguished people: celebrities, executives, CEOs—individuals of extraordinary status.

These people were incredibly wealthy; even a small tip would cover her living expenses for a month. She, on the other hand, owed tens of millions. They were born with wealth that surpassed most people in the world. It truly is infuriating to compare yourself to others.

In this current world, the wealth, social status, and family class associated with ABO had gradually narrowed over time. Some Alphas, due to their family’s decline, had lower social status than middle-class Betas. With the advent of technological reproduction, most Omegas were no longer confined to being just housewives. Instead, more and more were joining the workforce. The traditional ABO hierarchy had long been broken; they had entered a new technological era.

After transmigrating into this world, Yu Xingyu clearly noticed the difference in gender roles. She was originally a lesbian, and she was surprised to find that female A, female B, and female O marriages were legal in this world. However, due to the mutual attraction of pheromones, most mainstream marriages were A/O.

But with so much debt, she couldn’t even think about relationships. Her biggest anxiety was how to pay off the debt, or her life would certainly be miserable during the next collection attempt.

As soon as she reached the 13th floor, her work level.

Yu Xingyu was handed over by the morning shift staff.

“Xiaoyu, Room 1306 needs two bottles of Chateau Petrus 1986 red wine delivered at 8:30 PM. This guest is one of our VIP clients, so you must be very careful with your service. Any mistake could lead to trouble.”

“Yes, I understand.”

Yu Xingyu nodded and made a mental note. Every client staying at this hotel was either rich or powerful, and none of them were people you wanted to cross. She desperately needed this job to pay off her debt, so she had to be extra cautious and avoid any mistakes.

The Beta staff member who handed over the shift breathed a sigh of relief and quickly rushed off to change and clock out. She thought to herself, Thank goodness I passed this tricky job off. Only this naive newcomer Alpha would agree to deliver wine to 1306. No one else would touch it.

After receiving the assignment, Yu Xingyu was about to clock in when she overheard two morning-shift colleagues talking while waiting for the elevator.

“The guest in 1306 has so many demands. Everyone is terrified every time they go to deliver wine, afraid of doing something wrong and incurring the displeasure of that actress. But now we don’t have to worry. The new girl is covering it. We’ll let her deliver it, and if anything goes wrong, the supervisor won’t blame us.”

“You’re right. That newcomer is so stupid; she does whatever she’s told. She has no idea how difficult that actress’s personality is. The cold storage temperature must be exact, the food ingredients must be guaranteed fresh by air freight, no pork, chicken, or lamb, no starches, no added sugar, no oil in the cooking, no food that has cooled down, and she has severe germophobia. The room must be cleaned flawlessly. Service staff must wear gloves and change shoes before entering and cannot touch any part of the room directly, or they’ll be instantly kicked out. Yu Xingyu is going to deliver the wine without knowing anything. It’ll be a miracle if she doesn’t offend anyone. There will be a good show tomorrow.”

“You’re right. If she offends that actress, our supervisor will definitely give her a tongue-lashing.”

The two spoke and laughed as they took the elevator down.

Yu Xingyu hadn’t realized that delivering wine to the 1306 guest was such a tricky matter. Given what they said, she needed to be even more careful tonight and absolutely avoid offending this customer.

She had no other choice right now; no matter how difficult the task, she had to complete it. She didn’t have the luxury of choosing not to do it. If she didn’t have these debts, she wouldn’t be in such a passive situation.

Since this customer had so many demands and habits, she needed to figure out exactly what they were, meet those requirements, and then surely the customer wouldn’t be able to find fault with her.

This matter didn’t trouble her for too long, as she was busy working non-stop. Soon, it was 8:30 PM.

Under the pitying gaze of her colleague, Yu Xingyu took the two bottles of chilled Chateau Petrus 1986.

Even before hearing the gossip, she had already inquired about the habits of the 1306 guest from several hotel colleagues. She learned that the customer required the red wine to be chilled to $7^circ text{C}$ for the best taste.

Previous deliveries hadn’t met this exact temperature—they were either too low or too high—which was why the customer was dissatisfied.

This time, she set the wine’s temperature to $3-4^circ text{C}$ in advance. By the time she took it from the fridge, wheeled it to the room, and opened the bottle, the temperature would have risen just right to $7^circ text{C}$. Using an ice bucket, she could maintain this temperature, which would certainly meet the actress’s demands.

Yu Xingyu pushed the hotel service cart slowly towards Room 1306. Stepping on the soft carpet, she felt increasingly nervous. The hotel hallway was quiet. There were a few bodyguards in black suits outside the door, their eyes filled with vigilance and hostility.

She didn’t know what was going on, but the atmosphere felt heavy.

The bodyguards stopped her as she approached, asking coldly, “What do you want?”

Yu Xingyu was a little nervous, but calmly replied, “I’m here to deliver red wine to the guest in 1306.”

“Just give it to us. You’re not needed here.”

Yu Xingyu was momentarily stunned, but didn’t object.

Just as the bodyguard was about to take the cart, the door to Room 1306 suddenly opened.

Out walked a beautiful young Omega with a cold demeanor and light pink flushed cheeks. Her chestnut curly hair, like satin, flowed down to her waist. Her expression was languid and exquisite, with a hint of seduction in the corners of her eyes. Her skin was as white as snow, with a perky nose and beautiful pink lips. Her cold beauty made people stare in a daze.

She was wearing a high-end silver off-the-shoulder gown, which she hadn’t yet changed out of, suggesting she had just returned from a banquet. The movement with which she opened the door seemed slightly urgent.

She scanned the entrance before her gaze finally settled on Yu Xingyu. Her pupils were dark, and a flash of danger crossed her beautiful eyes.

Yu Xingyu was captivated by the sheer beauty before her and froze for a moment. Only when the bodyguard urged her did she snap out of it.

The bodyguards quickly apologized:

“We apologize, Miss Shen. We didn’t mean to disturb you. We’ll make her leave immediately.”

“I’m leaving right now,” Yu Xingyu said, feeling a little embarrassed.

The voice of the cold, charming Omega behind her sounded like an elegant pipe organ, exuding a unique, gentle charm.

“Wait, let her come in.”

Before Yu Xingyu could react, she was suddenly pulled into the room without warning. Her head spun, and her consciousness began to blur.

Before completely losing consciousness, she clearly smelled the scent of white tea coming from the Omega’s body, which made her feel slightly dizzy and confused.
