After leaving scumbag A, I Found a Happy Ending with a Flirtatious Beauty (GL , ABO) - Chapter 1

CHAPTER 1

The elegant, domed banquet hall was filled with the gentle sound of violins drifting through the air. Under soft blue lighting, guests chatted with polite smiles while servers weaved through the crowd carrying trays of fine wine.

It was a grand wedding celebration.

As the music shifted into a waltz, specks of light shimmered like stars overhead. Couples began stepping onto the dance floor, holding their partners close as they moved to the rhythm.

In a shadowy corner, Shen Qiaoyi shrank into herself, trying her best not to draw attention. But her rapid, uneven breathing, the unnatural flush on her cheeks, and the burning heat at the back of her neck were all unmistakable signs.

She had been drugged.

Shen Qiaoyi jerked her head in an effort to stay conscious, but the heavy air in the hall only made her thoughts foggier.

Who had done this?

She had been so careful, politely declining every offered drink or appetizer, and hadn’t even touched the tea in the self-service area. Yet somehow, the storyline still caught up with her.

The once lively hall seemed to blur into stillness. The only thing she could feel was the unfamiliar surge of heat rolling through the gland on her neck, making her ache for the comfort and touch of an Alpha.

Before transmigrating into this world, Shen Qiaoyi had been a third-tier actress. Half a month ago, during a break on set, her assistant had sneakily shared a link with her.

Curious, she clicked on it and found herself reading a yuri ABO novel.

The heroine was a dazzling Omega with snow-pale skin, long legs, and a rare fruit-wine-scented pheromone that changed with every heat cycle. This strange quirk drove all the Alphas mad with desire, each desperate to claim her for themselves.

In the novel, these obsessive Alphas fought like wild beasts. Some even resorted to kidnapping and drugging her. Their tactics were so extreme that it made Shen Qiaoyi question everything.

After all the chaos, the heroine ended up with her scent glands destroyed and her family torn apart.

Halfway through the novel, Shen Qiaoyi sensed something was off. When she checked the homepage, she realized the novel came from an infamous rollercoaster-style web fiction site.

Its logic was shaky, the plot exaggerated, and the content overwhelmingly explicit. Nearly every chapter was filled with drugging, restraints, dark rooms, and other inappropriate themes.

Her rational mind told her to close the tab. But the author’s skill in writing forbidden love scenes was shockingly effective. The steamy tension was so intense that her fingers kept scrolling against her will.

To her horror, she woke up the next day inside that very novel. She had become the same-named, irresistible Omega at the center of it all.

It had already been half a month since she transmigrated. During that time, she had been careful and cautious, hoping to avoid the original storyline’s pitfalls. But now, the story had brought her to the grand wedding.

In the novel, this was the scene where Shen Qiaoyi was drugged at the start of the ceremony. Forced into heat, she was then subjected to a long and explicit chain of events.

Although a hotel staff member eventually happened upon the room and stopped the assault, no marking took place. Still, her gland suffered minor damage.

The novel never revealed who had drugged her.

Even with all her vigilance, she had still fallen into the trap.

It was getting worse.

Her body felt unbearable. The strange tingling from her gland now pulsed through her limbs. Even her fingertips trembled with weakness.

So this was what Omega heat felt like.

The ABO world was far more terrifying than she imagined.

But this was no time to be dwelling on that. She needed to leave the banquet hall immediately.

Shen Qiaoyi pushed herself to her feet, using the wall for support as she stumbled forward. Just as she neared the exit, she collided with someone. A strong Alpha pheromone flooded her senses, sending a chill down her spine.

“Yiyi!” The Alpha instinctively caught her, voice full of concern. “Are you alright?”

Shen Qiaoyi recognized the familiar voice. She looked up through blurry eyes, struggling to make out the Alpha’s face.

A straight nose, full lips, slightly upturned eyes—bold, striking features.

When the Alpha’s lashes lowered, a glimmer of something unreadable flashed in her eyes.

“Ruolan-jie…” Shen Qiaoyi instinctively stepped back.

The Alpha in front of her was Ji Ruolan, eldest daughter of the Ji Group. Though she came from a powerful family, she had always treated Shen Qiaoyi with kindness and care, never once looking down on her for being the daughter of a housemaid.

In the novel, Shen Qiaoyi’s father had died in a mining accident. Her mother, Su Wanqing, took a job as a housekeeper in the Ji household. Over time, she grew close to the Ji family patriarch. But for the sake of the children, they never made the relationship public.

Still, Ji Ruolan was known to be open-minded. She even supported their marriage. In fact, today’s wedding had been arranged largely because of her efforts.

“Yiyi, we’re about to take the family portrait. It’s your mother and my father’s wedding today. You better not disappear again. Come with me, Auntie Su has been looking everywhere for you.” Ji Ruolan reached out to take her hand as she spoke. The moment her palm touched Shen Qiaoyi’s, she paused, feeling the heat radiating from her skin.

Ji Ruolan’s eyes naturally drifted down.

Even without makeup, Shen Qiaoyi was breathtaking. Now, under the influence of the drug, her fair skin was flushed, her almond-shaped eyes glazed with moisture, her lips slightly parted, and the corners of her eyes tinted crimson like blooming irises. She looked dangerously alluring.

Ji Ruolan’s gaze lingered on her lips. Her lashes fluttered slightly.

“Yiyi, did you drink? Your face is really red.”

Though her tone was gentle, her hand had already moved firmly to Shen Qiaoyi’s lower back.

Shen Qiaoyi noticed the subtle change in her tone. She slowly lifted her head and caught the faint, unreadable curve of a smile at the corner of Ji Ruolan’s lips. Her instincts screamed at her.

In the novel The Surrender of the Irresistible Omega, Ji Ruolan had an unhealthy obsession with Shen Qiaoyi. Early on, she was loving and protective. But after discovering that Qiaoyi had been marked by other Alphas, her gentle mask shattered. She restrained Qiaoyi on an operating table and ignored her pleas, scrubbing her glands over and over until there was no trace of another scent left.

Only then did she mark Qiaoyi permanently, while she was too weak to resist.

Staring at Ji Ruolan now, Shen Qiaoyi’s scalp tingled. She had to make sure Ji Ruolan never found out about the heat. If she could just change this part of the plot, maybe she could avoid everything that came after.

She twisted slightly and slipped from Ji Ruolan’s arm. With effort, she steadied her breathing and said as calmly as she could, “Ruolan-jie, I spilled something on my dress. I was just heading to change. Go ahead with the photo first, I’ll catch up later and take a few extra shots.”

Ji Ruolan finally glanced at her dress and noticed a faint stain near the hem.

“What happened?”

Shen Qiaoyi forced a smile. “A waiter accidentally spilled some wine on me.”

Ji Ruolan lowered her eyes for a moment, then stepped aside. “Alright, go change quickly. Don’t keep Auntie Su waiting too long.”

Shen Qiaoyi nodded and quickly walked away.

Once she was out of Ji Ruolan’s sight, she let go of her forced composure. Her steps became unsteady. The heat was worse than anything described in the novel. It was hard to endure.

Thankfully, she had the advantage of knowing the plot in advance. She had hidden a pack of suppressant pills in her private lounge just in case.

Supporting herself along the wall, she stumbled down two hallways. Her lounge was at the very end. Her vision was growing hazy, her body barely able to hold itself up.

Behind her, footsteps approached quickly.

“Where the hell is that slutty little Omega, Shen Qiaoyi?”

“Damn it, even drugged, she can still run?”

“Miss, I think she went into the lounge ahead. She’s probably hiding in there.”

“Second Miss?”

Shen Qiaoyi’s long lashes trembled in fear.

Could it be that the one who drugged her was Ji Ruoyao, the second daughter of the Ji family?

She had no time to think it through. Whoever drugged her would catch up soon, and the lounge was no longer a safe option.

Panicked, she looked around and spotted a deep brown wooden door up ahead.

It was unlocked.

Without hesitation, Shen Qiaoyi stumbled forward and pushed the door open.

She leaned against the wall inside, listening as the footsteps outside gradually faded away. Only then did she allow herself a breath of relief and slid weakly to the floor.

Just as she reached back to lock the door, she caught a glimpse of a tall, slender figure beside the large glass bed.

Someone was standing by the window. Their head was tilted slightly, a phone held between their shoulder and ear.

They appeared to be on a call.

Moonlight spilled through the window and landed softly on the bridge of their nose. From this angle, their profile looked impossibly delicate, like a gentle slope carved with precision.

After half a month in this world, Shen Qiaoyi had a basic understanding of the ABO system.

After differentiation, Alphas and Omegas typically had noticeable differences in physique, facial structure, and bone lines, largely due to pheromonal influence.

She had gotten fairly good at telling them apart at a glance.

But the person in front of her had a face that defied all classification. Their features were so stunningly symmetrical they seemed almost unreal. The only striking detail was a pair of narrow, almond-shaped eyes that, when they glanced over at her, carried an air of untouchable arrogance.
