After Transmigrating into a Scumbag Alpha, I Had a Happy Ending with the Heroine (LILY , ABO) - Chapter 1

“I’m sorry. You’re a wonderful person, but I’m not good enough for you. You deserve someone better to love.”

The woman speaking wore plain, understated clothes, but her striking beauty couldn’t be hidden. Her expression was calm and slightly indifferent as she stirred her coffee with a silver spoon. Her tone carried a genuine note of apology.

“But…”

The short-haired woman sitting across from her blushed deeply. She tightened her grip on the napkin beneath her coffee cup.

“But I still like you. Jiang Qing, can we not break up?”

Jiang Qing had lost count of how many times she’d heard that same sentence from this woman. Though her expression remained composed, she couldn’t help but feel a bit of weariness.

No matter what she said, the short-haired woman clung stubbornly to her feelings, her eyes wet with sadness.

Noticing that only half an hour remained before her scheduled meeting with her agent, Jiang Qing decided to end things quickly.

“No, we can’t.”

For the seventh time, she came up with a reason for rejection. This time she made it sound more believable. “I’ve already fallen for someone else. She’s amazing, and I can’t wait to be with her.”

Jiang Qing’s lips curved into a gentle, perfect smile. Her eyes lifted slightly, filled with affection and longing, as if she were thinking about someone she truly cherished.

That sweet expression pierced the heart of the woman sitting across from her.

For a moment, the short-haired woman stopped crying. Her lips trembled slightly before she finally whispered, “I knew it. I knew this would happen. You just didn’t want to admit it at first.”

Jiang Qing looked down and said nothing.

Tears welled up again in the woman’s eyes as she stared at the person who had just broken her heart. After a moment of silence, as if making a final decision, she suddenly grabbed her glass and threw the water in Jiang Qing’s face.

Jiang Qing didn’t have time to dodge, but she didn’t try to.

The cold water soaked into her long, smooth hair and trailed down her shoulders and collar, leaving dark patches on her clothes.

After throwing the water, the short-haired woman looked like she had used up every last bit of courage and strength. She turned and staggered away.

Jiang Qing raised an eyebrow. She happened to be wearing a black T-shirt today. It would dry easily, and she could still go meet people.

Despite being drenched, Jiang Qing felt little emotion. After all, this was just a necessary step in cleaning up the mess left by the original Jiang Qing.

Yes, the original.

Because the truth was, she was not the Jiang Qing who belonged to this world.

She had come from another world.

In that world, she had grown up under difficult circumstances, but she never gave up on her dreams. She worked tirelessly, like a finely tuned machine that never broke down. Thanks to her persistence and effort, she quickly rose to fame and became a beloved actress. Her excellent public image and personality made her a favorite among fans, and every mention of her online brought nothing but praise.

But fate is unpredictable. During a film shoot, Jiang Qing was involved in an accident. When she regained consciousness, she had become someone else: a character named Jiang Qing in a book she had once read.

When she first woke up, she was surrounded by a group of wealthy young men and women dressed in luxury. Their expressions were filled with panic. As they spoke over one another, she gradually pieced together what had happened.

The original Jiang Qing had passed out from drinking too much. Her heart had even stopped for a moment.

Just as they were about to call an ambulance, the real Jiang Qing’s soul arrived and revived the body.

It was clear that her sudden transmigration had saved the original’s life.

Although she had no idea what caused the transmigration, she had accepted her fate. Since she was here, she would make the most of it.

A week had passed since she arrived. During that time, she declined all invitations from the original Jiang Qing’s so-called friends and locked herself at home. She spent her days getting used to this new identity and learning everything she could about this unfamiliar world.

Unlike her home on Earth, this was an ABO world.

Here, people weren’t only divided into male and female but also into Alpha, Beta, and Omega. Betas were similar to regular humans, while Alphas and Omegas had additional organs called glands.

Just like male peacocks spread their feathers to attract mates, in the ABO world, glands allowed Alphas and Omegas to release pheromones and draw in those with high compatibility.

Jiang Qing knew from the novel that the original Jiang Qing was an Alpha. Not just any Alpha, but a notorious playgirl.

She changed partners constantly, didn’t care about Alpha-Omega boundaries, and frequently flirted with others while already in a relationship. She had affairs with Alphas, Omegas, anyone she fancied.

Her personality was arrogant and rebellious. Even though she was in the entertainment industry, she used her wealthy background to do whatever she pleased. She stole roles, bribed tabloids, and disrespected directors.

People in the industry hated her but didn’t dare speak out.

As a typical villain, the original Jiang Qing treated the story’s heroine especially badly.

Jealous of another Alpha woman’s talent and popularity, she constantly tried to sabotage her. She snatched her roles, gave them to lesser talents she liked, and repeatedly tried to humiliate her in public.

But the heroine was no pushover.

In the end, the female lead joined forces with other victims of Jiang Qing’s bullying. Together, they exposed everything online.

Even with her powerful background, Jiang Qing couldn’t survive the wave of criticism that followed. The public backlash only grew louder. To calm things down and provide justice to those she hurt, the authorities eventually blacklisted her permanently.

After that, her life fell apart. Her family business went bankrupt. Her loved ones passed away. She was diagnosed with a terminal illness.

One tragedy after another crushed her spirit.

In the end, the original Jiang Qing took her own life on a rainy night.

Jiang Qing felt no sympathy for her.

The original Jiang Qing had been dealt a winning hand and ruined it through her own choices. She had no one to blame but herself.

But Jiang Qing was not like her. In her original world, she worked day and night for her career. She had barely enough time to rest, let alone party or make meaningless connections.

From the moment she arrived in this new world, the original Jiang Qing’s endless phone calls had driven her mad. She had already turned down several unwanted admirers in just one week.

Knowing how miserable the original’s future had been, Jiang Qing had no interest in keeping those entanglements alive. It was better to cut them off early before they caused trouble.

As she pondered all this, a pale, elegant hand suddenly entered her field of vision.

The hand was slender, with defined knuckles, soft and smooth like warm jade. It was clearly a woman’s hand.

She was offering a few tissues.

Jiang Qing looked up, ready to express her thanks to the kind stranger.

But as her eyes landed on the woman’s face, she couldn’t help but be stunned.

Her features were exquisite and delicate. Her jawline was clean and well-defined, her lips thin, her nose high. Her eyes were slightly upturned but not flirtatious. Instead, there was a subtle coldness about her that gave her the air of a distant, untouchable beauty.

In that moment, Jiang Qing thought she caught the faint scent of melting snow from a mountain peak, cool and sharp, like the feeling this woman’s presence gave off.

She was like a snow-covered cliff, breathtaking yet out of reach.

Jiang Qing lifted her lips into a soft smile and reached out to take the tissue, but just as she did, the woman’s hand drew back slightly.

The moment Jiang Qing’s entire face came into view, the woman’s calm expression froze in place.

Her brows twitched almost imperceptibly, and the look in her eyes shifted several times before settling into something unreadable and distant.

Then she did something that completely caught Jiang Qing off guard.

She withdrew her hand and threw the tissue into the nearby trash bin.

Jiang Qing blinked in surprise. Was this how beautiful women acted? So unpredictable?

The cold beauty’s voice was flat and without emotion as she said, “It wasn’t meant for you.”

Jiang Qing tilted her head, puzzled. “Then why did you try to hand it to me?”

A faint trace of mockery appeared at the corner of the woman’s lips. Her long, slender fingers tightened unconsciously before slowly relaxing.

She answered, “I wasn’t giving it to you. I just wanted to show off.”

“I have it. You don’t.”

Jiang Qing stared at her in silence.

She was almost certain now that this woman must have been someone the original Jiang Qing had offended.

The original Jiang Qing had relied on her wealthy background to behave recklessly and aggressively. Heaven knew how many people she had provoked. Since Jiang Qing had none of the original’s memories, she had no way of knowing who this cold beauty was.

Still, when living in someone else’s place, you had to keep your head down.

Jiang Qing blinked again and offered a bright, sweet smile. “Well, now that you’ve shown off, could I borrow one tissue? I forgot to bring any with me.”

After a short pause, she added sincerely, “Once I buy a new pack, I promise I’ll pay you back.”

Song Qin Ning was stunned by how shameless Jiang Qing had become.

After just a few months, Jiang Qing’s thick skin could probably rival the Great Wall of China.

What struck her as strange was that if this had happened in the past, Jiang Qing would have already lost her temper and possibly started a fight.

But now, the woman sat calmly in her seat, smiling with perfectly white teeth and meeting her gaze without hesitation. It was as if she wanted her to see just how sincere she was being.

Even though Jiang Qing looked a bit disheveled at the moment, Song Qin Ning still found herself briefly distracted by that smile.

She realized she had never taken a proper look at Jiang Qing before.

The Jiang Qing she remembered was sarcastic, mean-spirited, and constantly full of mocking remarks. Every interaction felt like being taunted by a shallow show-off.

If she tried to recall that version of Jiang Qing, what came to mind was someone whose good looks couldn’t hide the ugliness inside. She was arrogant, jealous, and believed that if she couldn’t get what she wanted, she had the right to take it by force.

That Jiang Qing would never lower herself like this. Not for something as insignificant as a tissue.

This strange new attitude left Song Qin Ning completely confused.

Her thoughts quickly turned to a past incident. Jiang Qing had once deliberately pretended to be friendly, only to set her up during a filmed interview and make her look foolish on camera.

The video had trended on social media for days. Her cold expression had been turned into reaction memes by internet trolls and was still widely circulated.

Since then, Song Qin Ning had always been cautious in private. She would constantly check her surroundings, afraid she was being filmed again.

And now, Jiang Qing actually thought she would fall for the same trick. Did she really think Song Qin Ning was that gullible and easy to manipulate?

What a joke.

Song Qin Ning kept her thoughts to herself and remained expressionless as she prepared to turn and leave. Her gaze lifted again, only to meet Jiang Qing’s eyes.

There was something in those eyes she did not expect. A hint of confusion. A quiet trace of sadness.
