Accidentally Provoked My Archenemy [ABO] - Chapter 3
She couldn’t shake the feeling that something was missing.
What was it?
Sang Yu unconsciously clenched her jaw. Images flickered rapidly through her mind—wine glasses, the banquet, the garden, bite marks…
Fragmented memories realigned themselves, and at last, Sang Yu remembered everything that happened before she fainted.
She’d gone to the banquet, threatened Cheng Yunan, got bitten, came home, realized she was a transmigrator, tried to run, failed, and then passed out inexplicably.
Now, looking down at the person lying beside her—the thin lips, high nose bridge, sharp eyebrows, a beauty mark beneath one eye…
Sang Yu: !
Wasn’t the sweet-looking male Omega lying next to her Cheng Yunan!?
The very Cheng Yunan who would one day subject her to a slow, torturous death!
Shocked and confused, Sang Yu found it hard to believe. In her memory, Cheng Yunan was an Alpha—a B-rank Alpha, no less, the kind she looked down on most.
So how had he suddenly become an Omega?
Swallowing hard, Sang Yu had a wild thought. She opened her smart AI assistant and ran a basic personal scan.
[Name: Sang Yu]
[Designation: Enigma (Rare)]
[Rank: 3S (Ultra Rare)]
A-turned-E?!
She had somehow transformed from an Alpha into an Enigma—and what’s more, she’d actually marked Cheng Yunan, who was supposed to be an Alpha, turning him into an Omega?
Sang Yu: …
Run. Now. Immediately.
Now that her memories had returned, her pre-transmigration personality took over. She had no intention of continuing the cycle of petty rivalry. All she wanted was to survive and enjoy a peaceful life.
Recalling the painful, humiliating death that awaited her, every cell in her body screamed escape.
Even though she was now a rare Enigma, and even if she’d marked Cheng Yunan, she couldn’t forget—he was destined to undergo secondary differentiation.
And with the plot still running its course, who knew if he wouldn’t still kill her one day?
Put simply: Discretion is the better part of valor.
Resolved, Sang Yu glanced down. Taking advantage of the fact that he was still asleep, she carefully lifted her side of the blanket and inched away.
But just as she turned and placed her feet on the ground, a pair of pale hands suddenly wrapped tightly around her waist. A soft, pitiful whimper brushed her ears:
“Don’t go… Don’t leave me…”
The cool voice trembled with fear and dependence—impossible to ignore.
Sang Yu froze in place.
She had to admit, her whole body went slightly numb from the Omega’s touch.
Even though she knew perfectly well this was just a natural biological response—an Omega’s dependence on the Alpha who marked them—she was still affected.
Looking back again, Cheng Yunan’s swollen gland came into view, immediately dousing whatever sympathy she’d felt.
No. Absolutely not.
Cheng Yunan was the illegitimate child of the Cheng family who had only recently been recognized. He was never favored. After his B-rank Alpha designation, he’d been cast aside even further.
That was why she’d always bullied him with impunity.
And now she hadn’t just bullied him—she’d marked him and turned him into an Omega.
If he hated her before, now he had reason to kill her outright.
Forcing herself to ignore the biological pull of Alpha instincts toward marked Omegas, Sang Yu hardened her heart, flipped out of bed, packed a few essentials in record time, and didn’t look back even once.
________________________________________
Omegas are naturally dependent creatures.
Especially newly differentiated Omegas. Fragile and vulnerable, they instinctively crave an Alpha’s pheromones to suppress their overwhelming heat and discomfort.
According to Central Alliance law, every individual must pre-register their differentiation profile. If an Omega tendency is detected, a personal inhibitor must be prepared and injected immediately after differentiation.
If the transformation comes unexpectedly and the inhibitor is unavailable, lost, or damaged, the Omega must receive a temporary mark from an Alpha within one hour, or risk irreversible gland damage.
Note:
After being marked, an Omega enters a short dependency phase.
If possible, the Alpha should remain with the Omega for at least three days to provide stability and reassurance.

Three days?
Sang Yu lounged in her hovercar, flipping through a beginner-level A/O/E educational manual she’d just purchased. Her brows furrowed deeper with every page.
Before her transformation, school had provided formal Alpha training courses—but she’d never taken them seriously.
She was the Sang family’s eldest daughter and sole heir. To someone like her, Omegas weren’t romantic partners—they were assets in political marriages.
Besides, as far as she knew, an Omega’s dependency period could be managed with medication.
That’s how her mother had survived it.
So even though she was rushing to leave, Sang Yu still went out of her way to purchase a B-rank Omega inhibitor, injecting it into Cheng Yunan before she left.
She wasn’t too worried.
And yet… as she walked away, Cheng Yunan’s faint sobs under the blanket haunted her.
She was still affected.
Rubbing her temples, Sang Yu tried to suppress the dangerous urge to go back. She forced herself to erase him from her mind.
And yet…
She couldn’t shake the feeling that she’d forgotten something important—but try as she might, it just wouldn’t come to her.
Tsk.
There was still a long way to go before reaching the interstellar port. Closing her eyes, Sang Yu decided to nap.
She hadn’t even fallen asleep yet when her smart assistant lit up with an incoming message.
