Reborn as a Scummy Alpha, I Became Every Heroine's Obsession (GL) - Chapter 1
The room was filled with a sweet and lingering scent that kept drifting into Gu Qiqi’s nose.
For a brief moment, her mind was overwhelmed by confusion.
The smell was a mix of different things.
There was the bitterness of coffee, a faint dusty note of goji berries, and the warm, heavy scent of old books. It wasn’t unpleasant. In fact, it was oddly comforting.
These were pheromones.
And every one of them carried a sweetness that clung to the air.
[System: Congratulations, Host. Your consciousness has successfully detached from your character’s preset in the game. From now on, you can ignore the default personality and make your own choices.]
A mechanical voice echoed clearly in Gu Qiqi’s mind.
She finally lifted her head and took in her surroundings.
A dim storage room. One weak, yellow light bulb gave off a faint glow.
The space was small and the air felt suffocating.
There was no ventilation, and the air was filled with the scent of pheromones, floating freely.
Then, memories began to flood Gu Qiqi’s mind.
This was a game world.
Not just any game, but an adult game—the kind people avoided mentioning out loud.
In this world, she was just a background character. The lowest of the low. Someone created only to make the main characters look better.
According to the game’s setting, she was a delinquent. Lazy, uneducated, and rough.
But she had excellent stamina.
Her role was to do all the stupid tasks that kept the plot moving. And once she served her purpose, the system would throw her away without a second thought.
Gu Qiqi already knew how her story was supposed to end.
She looked down at her hands, puzzled.
What was happening now?

**[System: Dear Host, you are now facing a new turning point in your life. Please think carefully and make your choice.
In front of you are three Omegas currently going through their sensitive period. Choose one to mark and soothe.]**
Gu Qiqi slowly began to come back to herself.
Her senses returned, one by one.
She could hear the restrained breathing. The suppressed anger. The tension in the air was thick.
So this really was an adult game.
Right from the start, it threw her into a scene this intense.
“Gu Qiqi. Looks like you really don’t want to live.”
A voice full of restrained fury came from nearby.
Gu Qiqi frowned. She narrowed her eyes and focused her gaze.
Standing in front of her were three Omegas. All of them were beautiful, with stunning figures, and all were clearly in their sensitive period.
The one who had just spoken was the most powerful among them. She was the only daughter of the Feng family, head of one of the top three families.
Feng Jiying.
She wore sleek, metal-rimmed glasses that gave her a cool, distant look. The lenses reflected the light in a way that made it impossible to see her eyes clearly.
But Gu Qiqi didn’t need to see them to know.
Feng Jiying absolutely hated her.
Feng Jiying’s beautiful face was twisted in disgust. One hand clutched her chest, while the other was tightly clenched into a fist. She was struggling to hold back the release of her pheromones, fighting against the pull she felt toward Gu Qiqi’s scent—fighting her desire.
This was the overwhelming force of a 100% genetic match.
It made her want to get close to Gu Qiqi without even thinking, made her crave her presence, made her want to submit.
“You used cheap tricks to lure us here. Do you really think those disgusting tactics will get you what you want? Even if your mental strength is ranked 3S+, you’re nothing but a rat from the gutter. You make me sick. Don’t even dream of getting your hands on me.”
Gu Qiqi stayed calm. She didn’t respond to Feng Jiying’s sharp words.
Instead, her gaze shifted to the two other female Omegas standing nearby.
Yes—Wen Rui and Liu Huaiqing.
She had somehow returned to the beginning. The very day she first met the three of them.
In the setting of this game, human birthrates had dropped so low that newborns had become a rarity.
With the rise of advanced technology, human civilization had officially entered the era of the Interstellar Federation.
The concept of gender had evolved. There were now six biological types.
Some people were born with natural instincts tied to their gender classification. But a person’s final gender wasn’t determined until the age of eighteen, when they underwent differentiation and mental strength testing. Their DNA would also be registered and matched with compatible partners—Alphas and Omegas—to create stronger, more advanced children for the next generation.
Gu Qiqi was one of the rare Alphas with a 3S+ mental strength rating.
Of course, all of this was part of a chaotic, overcomplicated game world.
In adult games like this, once a character entered their sensitive phase, the plot would suddenly shift to focus on intimacy and desire.
But Gu Qiqi had no background, no powerful family behind her. She was just an orphan.
The Federation treated her like a pawn—because her genetic tests showed a perfect 100% match with three treasured Omega heirs from the most powerful families.
The president of the Federation had assigned her a task: to produce children with all three of them.
That was the fate the game had forced on her character. A disposable, nameless pawn.
But now, things were different.
She wouldn’t let the president control her.
She wouldn’t let herself be turned into some pitiful, overworked breeder.
Wen Rui’s face was flushed. Her fox-like eyes shimmered with tears, made even brighter by the effects of her sensitive period. She licked her dry lips and looked at Gu Qiqi with a desperate, gentle expression.
“Qiqi, you need money, right? Let me go, and I’ll give you however much you want. You’re still young. Don’t make the wrong choices. Don’t listen to those old men. They lie better than anyone.”
In this world of six genders, Alphas had absolute control over Omegas. Their pheromones created an irresistible attraction between them.
But because Alphas were so much stronger, Omegas often ended up relying completely on them.
When an Alpha and Omega had a high compatibility match, even if they’d never met before, the pull of pheromones alone could make them fall for each other on sight.
Worse, it could make them do anything the other person asked, without question or limit.
That was the frightening power of pheromones.
Gu Qiqi slowly opened her palm.
She carefully gathered her powerful mental energy and kept her strength under control. She concentrated her pheromones into a single point, forming a tiny cube that appeared in her hand.
The cube was pale yellow, with sharp edges. It was about two centimeters long, one centimeter wide, and one centimeter tall.
Yet this small sugar-like cube had the ability to instantly calm an Omega during their sensitive phase.
Only Alphas with a mental strength level of 2S+ or higher could materialize their pheromones into a physical form.
And only they could help Omegas safely get through their sensitive period without harming their bodies.
Gu Qiqi held the cube of condensed pheromone in her palm.
Right now, she still wasn’t able to fully control her overwhelming mental power.
Even forming this single cube had taken nearly all her energy.
She looked at the three Omegas in front of her, their faces slightly flushed from struggling to breathe.
In the Federation’s political system, the president was the official head, but most of the real power was divided among four major families. One of those families had been known for its fierce warriors, but they had no heirs left. The last member died on the battlefield, and the family line was wiped out.
Now, only three major families remained. The three Omegas in front of her were each from one of those powerful bloodlines.
Feng Jiying was the only daughter of the Feng family and the current CEO of Feng Group. She had a cold, distant personality, rarely smiled, and always carried herself with calm authority. Her tall, slender frame was wrapped in a tailored teal suit. It looked like she had come straight from a board meeting before being brought here in a rush.
Wen Rui was one of the twin daughters of the Wen family. Her sister had differentiated as an Alpha, but she became an Omega. She worked as a psychologist, practiced traditional medicine, and even dabbled in fortune-telling. She wasn’t very tall—barely over 160 centimeters—and she loved wearing soft, pastel dresses. Her fox-like eyes were usually full of charm, and her lips always curved into a gentle smile. But now, that smile had a dangerous edge to it.
The last one was Liu Huaiqing, from the Liu family. Her exact identity had never been made public, but she was a highly respected lawyer in the legal world. She was calm and collected, with an elegant, old-world grace. Still, her family never truly accepted her.
At the moment, Liu Huaiqing was holding a small, sharp knife—something easy to miss at a glance but deadly in the right hands.
Gu Qiqi had no doubt. If she made a wrong move, Liu Huaiqing would slit her throat without hesitation.
Her thoughts flashed back to her final ending in the original game.
Her pheromones had been completely drained. Her body was dumped in the street. Wild dogs tore her apart. No one claimed her remains. She didn’t even get to say goodbye to her sister.
And yet, none of these powerful women ever bothered to think about the facts. She was just a first-year college student, barely eighteen. She had only been pulled into this mess because her 3S+ mental strength was discovered during routine genetic screening. After that, the system had immediately matched her with all three of them for genetic pairing.
Could they really believe she had the ability to lure all three of them into a rest lounge and trap them here without any help from those in power?
Of course not.
Someone from above had clearly orchestrated all of this.
But then again, this was an adult game. Trying to find logic in it was pointless.
Right now, the small, enclosed room was filled with the sweet scent of pheromones.
The air was thick with tension and desire.
When an Alpha and Omega had an extremely high genetic match, they could be deeply affected by each other’s pheromones—drawn in uncontrollably.
However, when one person’s mental strength was far greater than the other’s, that influence could be suppressed. The stronger one could resist the pull.
And Gu Qiqi was definitely the stronger one here.
When one person’s mental strength was significantly weaker, the influence from someone stronger could double in effect.
That was why Gu Qiqi was able to stay calm and think so clearly.
Right now, Feng Jiying’s eyes were filled with disgust. Wen Rui was smiling, but her expression carried a dangerous edge. Liu Huaiqing stood silently, holding a small, sharp knife aimed straight at Gu Qiqi’s neck.
Gu Qiqi crossed her arms and leaned casually against the door behind her. A narrow beam of sunlight shone through the crack in the doorway, lighting up part of the floor.
The contrast of light and shadow made the atmosphere feel strangely surreal.
Gu Qiqi’s appearance and demeanor sat perfectly between innocence and maturity. Her strong pheromones filled the room, making it nearly impossible for the Omegas to resist.
She stepped forward slowly and looked down at the three women, all visibly weakened and struggling to keep their composure.
Thinking about the miserable ending her character had in the game, Gu Qiqi suddenly felt playful. She lifted her hand and gently hooked her finger under Feng Jiying’s chin.
The glare of Feng Jiying’s glasses couldn’t hide the raw contempt in her eyes.
She felt the heat of Gu Qiqi’s fingertips brush against the sensitive skin of her neck. Her mind rejected the contact, but her body responded instinctively with desire.
Behind all the hatred in her eyes, there was now a flicker of disbelief. She hadn’t expected Gu Qiqi to act so boldly. Her throat moved slightly as she swallowed, then she forced herself to speak.
“Get away from me.”
Gu Qiqi let out a quiet, amused sound.
“President Feng… you’re really not being honest with yourself.”
She withdrew her hand, turned to Wen Rui, and lightly flicked her finger against her forehead.
The smile in Wen Rui’s eyes had completely faded, though her lips still wore a soft, sweet expression. She tilted her head and spoke in a gentle tone, but her words were anything but kind.
“Qiqi, you’re really not what I expected. Not at all.”
Gu Qiqi raised an eyebrow but didn’t respond.
Instead, she turned to Liu Huaiqing and gently tapped the sharp edge of the knife she held.
“Sister Liu… you’re scarier than you look,” Gu Qiqi whispered softly next to her ear.
Her voice was still a little youthful, but for an Omega in a sensitive period, it was dangerously seductive.
Liu Huaiqing’s body trembled slightly in response.
Gu Qiqi slowly opened her hand. The cube formed from her concentrated mental energy floated just above her palm, hovering gently in the air for all three of them to see.
She spoke with a lazy, amused expression in her eyes.
“Ladies, if you want relief, the starting price is 500,000.”
“This cube is made from condensed pheromones. There’s only one. You can take it directly, dissolve it in water, inhale it as vapor, or mix it into coffee. It’s completely safe and won’t harm your body. The highest bidder gets it.”
“You’re all from powerful families. I doubt this small price is anything to worry about.”
[System: Host, what about the other two? Temporary marks?]
