She Relies on an Enchanting Scent to Turn All Beings Upside Down - First Fragrance
First Fragrance
“Wanwan, I love you so much, yet you want to break up with me.”
“Don’t break up, okay? Let’s be together forever. I’ll be good to you my whole life.”
The man’s voice was calm with a hint of obsession, but no matter what he said, the girl on the bed was unresponsive.
The man didn’t mind her silence. He continued to talk to himself while his gaze possessively roamed over her body. The girl was undoubtedly beautiful; she was like a rose left behind by God during creation, exquisite and moving from head to toe.
And now, this rose belonged only to him.
The man’s throat moved. He leaned over and reverently kissed the chain on the girl’s delicate, white ankle.
After the sound of the door closing came, Su Wanwan on the bed opened her eyes, once again lamenting her bad luck.
Including this time, she had been confined by her boyfriends a total of 28 times, with “dark room play” accounting for 17 of them. Each breakup ended with the other person in jail.
She had been extra cautious this time when choosing a boyfriend. She saw that he had a cold personality, was a chief physician, came from a political family, and even had a former girlfriend. Only then did she agree to date him.
It turned out the former girlfriend was fabricated, the political background was to help him hide his dark room, and his knowledge of the human body as a doctor allowed him to play new games with her every night, a pleasure that tasted so good he craved more.
It was satisfying, but also very unsatisfying.
Su Wanwan sat up. As she moved, the fine silver chain on her ankle made a faint sound. This boyfriend was extremely difficult to handle. No matter how she coaxed or flattered him, he wouldn’t take off the ankle chain unless she agreed to marry him.
Marry?
What a joke. How could she possibly get married?
But how was she going to escape now?
“System Management Assistant No. 002 activated. Checking…”
“Check complete. Confirmed as a high-quality host.”
“Do you need help?”
A cold, mechanical voice suddenly popped into her head. Su Wanwan was startled, but she quickly calmed down.
“I want to leave this place.”
“You can, but as a trade-off, you need to complete a mission to compensate.”
After briefly understanding the mission, Su Wanwan didn’t feel much. She only cared about one thing.
“In that world, are there many lunatics like this?”
She lifted her foot. The chain on her ankle made a soft sound with her movement. Her skin was fair and the chain was delicate, creating a fragile beauty. According to her ex, he had this chain custom-made the first day he met her. It was light, thin, and beautiful, wouldn’t harm her skin, and was impossible to break free from.
As long as she was tied to him, she could only be with him for the rest of her life.
Bullshit.
She would only belong to herself. No one could ever tie her down. Since she couldn’t stay in this world, she might as well switch to another one.
“Don’t worry, dear. The ABO world has a different setting from the modern one. Although beauty is still sought after, sexiness is generated by pheromones in the scent glands. The character you will be playing will be you, which means you won’t have scent glands or produce pheromones, so there will be no confinement or dark plotlines. You can rest assured.”
“Excellent. Then take me away immediately.”
Su Wanwan was very satisfied with this explanation and couldn’t wait to escape and embrace a new life.
“Okay.”
As the system’s voice faded, a flash of light appeared. The girl who had been lying on the bed instantly disappeared, leaving only the thin silver chain resting lonely on the bed.
…
After receiving the plot, Su Wanwan opened her eyes to the sound of her wristband chiming.
Connecting to the Star Brain, she opened her contacts and saw a flurry of messages from the director’s team.
“Ms. Su, are you there? Have you seen the news on the Starnet? If it’s too much, the production team can replace you.”
“You don’t have to force yourself.”
“We have a backup candidate.”
There was a pile of messages after that, but Su Wanwan couldn’t be bothered to read them all. She replied directly:
“Thank you, not needed. I can do it.”
After replying, she closed the page and summarized her mission.
The original body’s family was considered a third-rate noble family. They weren’t famous in the noble circle but were much better off than ordinary families. Because the original host’s biological father died early, the step-father quickly remarried and successfully had a pair of AO children. They gained a small reputation in the third-rate noble circle, hinting at a potential rise in status because of their children.
As for the original host… as a daughter from a previous marriage, she was ignored. Because of public scandals, her name was removed from the family’s official records, and she was kicked out to live on her own. If it weren’t for her Omega status, she probably wouldn’t even have been given living expenses.
But in reality, the original host was not an Omega at all. This fact was only known by her biological father. Her Omega status was a fabrication by her father because she was born without scent glands, making her a defective product, which was equivalent to a non-gendered person in modern society. Her father was worried that if the truth came out, she would be forcibly taken away and wouldn’t survive, so he had someone forge her identity and even prepared gene samples in advance.
This was also the reason why the original host was able to successfully audition for the dating reality show.
“This part of the setting has been modified for the host. Because the host’s physical body is being used for transmigration, the setting will automatically be adjusted to the host’s conditions, including appearance.”
Even so, the original host’s desire to go on the show to pursue love remained.
Su Wanwan could only say one thing about this.
How foolish.
She ruined her reputation for a man, even squandering the backup plan her own father had made for her.
Looking at the photos of the cold, black-haired beauty taped all over the wall, Su Wanwan’s gaze fell on the small text below the photos—
Imperial Beauty, Meng Ze, Top-tier Omega, The Rose that Imperial Alphas most want to marry.
Su Wanwan had no good feelings for this person who indirectly caused the original host to be slandered on the Star Network and kicked out of the Su family, even though he was undeniably handsome. Now that she was the original host, she was the one enduring the insults. She had no reason to develop any good feelings for the perpetrator of all this, even if he was innocent.
Glancing at her constantly flashing wristband, Su Wanwan casually got ready and headed to the filming location. Her mission was actually very simple: within ten days on the dating reality show, she had to be hated by all the guests. On the tenth day, the truth about her fake gender would be exposed, and she would be reviled by everyone. She would also be arrested and sent to jail for identity fraud. Her mission would end the moment she was sent to jail, after which a body double arranged by the system would take over.
At that point, she was free to stay or leave as she pleased.
…
The director’s team members who received Su Wanwan’s message exchanged glances, all seeing disbelief in each other’s eyes.
They were so polite in their negotiations, and this was her attitude? If she weren’t a precious Omega, who would care about whether she lived or died? Didn’t she know about the mess she had made? Did she really think she was a big star?
“Forget about her. If she comes, she comes. If not, we’ll replace her,” Director Zhang said, his expression noticeably colder. The staff said no more, all busy with their own tasks. But their already poor impression of Su Wanwan had worsened even more after this incident.
…
The dating reality show that shocked the entire empire aired punctually at 12 o’clock Star Time. To watch this grand dating spectacle, the public had long been camped out in the live stream.
“Here we go! It’s finally starting!”
“I never dreamed I’d get to watch General’s dating life!”
“Wake up, upstairs. The show is mandatory for the country’s birth rate. With the General’s personality, he’ll just go through the motions (.).”
“Wuwuwu Imperial Beauty, I’m here!”
Because the list of participants had been released long ago, the public was well aware of who was on the show. They were just watching to see the order of their arrival.
But some aggressive viewers came in and started cursing right away.
“Can we please get rid of Su Wanwan? I really don’t understand the production team’s taste. Why would they use a bad person like that?”
“As an Omega, doesn’t she understand how much verbal abuse can hurt an Omega? And that’s the Imperial Beauty. How dare she?”
“I heard she also sexually harassed classmates when she was in the Star Academy. It’s so disgusting.”
“New here, what’s going on?”
“Let me explain to the person above. Su Wanwan, one of the Omega guests on this dating show, once made a high-profile love confession to the Imperial Beauty on the Star Network, using vulgar and lewd words. She also has a history of harassing classmates in school, regardless of their ABO type. It’s disgusting!”
“Huh? Is she doing this on purpose? Can an Omega really fall in love with another Omega, as if the Alpha pheromones don’t exist?”
“Some people are just perverted and empty inside, so they deliberately seek attention. People with such poor character shouldn’t be on the show. They might not just fail to increase the birth rate, they might even lower it.”
“Agreed.”
The live stream was filled with a heated debate. Even without the guests having arrived, the live stream was already at the top of the trending list, and its popularity was growing exponentially.
The scriptwriter sighed to Director Zhang, “This Su Wanwan, her character isn’t great, but her popularity is quite high.” Director Zhang glanced at the live stream and snorted, clearly still remembering Su Wanwan’s attitude from earlier.
“Here they come! Let me see who the first person to enter is!”
A sound came from the villa’s front door. The first guest to arrive slowly pulled the door open.
As the camera zoomed in, a pair of long, muscular legs stepping in from outside came into view first. The black tight pants fit perfectly, showing off the powerful muscle lines of the legs. The camera followed the long legs upwards, and what came into the frame was a face that always wore a gentle smile, no matter the time. His slightly messy short hair was a flaxen color, and a pair of gold-rimmed glasses rested on his narrow brown eyes, making him look gentle and refined.
The broadcast introduction sounded at the right time:
“Xie Canglan, Alpha, instructor at the Imperial Military Academy, mainly responsible for teaching physical techniques, assassination, and close-quarters combat.”
Xie Canglan smiled warmly and waved at the camera in a friendly manner. The live stream instantly exploded.
“Holy crap, it’s Teacher Xie! Holy crap, holy crap! I got goosebumps. The fear of being dominated by Teacher Xie at the Imperial Military Academy just came back to me!”
“But… he’s smiling at me!”
“Wuwuwu, so handsome, I’m in love! Damn it! I have to get into the Imperial Military Academy! I’ll make Teacher Xie teach me physical techniques!”
“Wake up, upstairs. Don’t let Teacher Xie’s smile fool you. His methods of punishment are not something an ordinary person can handle.”
“Oh, it seems I’m the first one here.” Xie Canglan’s lips curved, wearing a gentle smile. “Then I won’t be shy and will just sit wherever.” He said this and then found a single sofa to sit on.
With Xie Canglan’s arrival, the others also came one after another. Except for General Yu Lianheng, who had just finished a mission and was on his way back and wouldn’t be able to make it today, everyone else was pretty much there.
They were:
Jiang Yao: Alpha, male, the youngest genius scientist in the Empire.
Chi Yuan: Alpha, male, top idol artist in the star-sphere.
Hylia: Alpha, male, president of the Kegnis Hotel.
Meng Ze: Omega, male, Imperial Beauty, Imperial official.
Xia Qingli: Omega, female, the daughter of the Xia family.
Song Yuege: Omega, female, the daughter of the Song family.
Jiang Chuxia: Omega, female, the daughter of the Jiang family.
With such a luxurious lineup of guests, the live stream was filled with screams, and the number of viewers surged.
Any one of these people would be difficult to meet on their own. Now, they were all gathered together for everyone to feast their eyes on—a daydream that would normally be unimaginable.
While some were fawning, others were rationally sober:
“Where’s Su Wanwan?”
This comment was like a stone thrown into clear water, causing an instant ripple.
“I almost forgot about her. All these big shots arrived early. She’s unemployed and was just removed from her family’s name. How can an ordinary person be so high-maintenance? And making a grand finale entrance?”
The negative comments that had disappeared quickly resurfaced, making people who already had a bad impression of Su Wanwan feel even worse.
And Su Wanwan…
was still stuck in traffic.
Oh, for goodness’ sake. How was she to know that even in an ABO world with hover cars, there would still be traffic jams? If she had known, she would have left earlier.
By the time Su Wanwan finally arrived at the filming location, the broadcast had been on for ten minutes. Everyone was busy, so no one saw a slender figure arrive at the villa’s front door.
A staff member who was frantically typing comments in support of Su Wanwan leaving the show saw a blur out of the corner of his eye. He looked up at the door and his eyes went blank. His hand shook, and he accidentally hit the send button.
The sunlight outside poured down on the girl at the door like a gentle veil. She walked down the steps from the light, with layers of a skirt wrapped around her straight, pearly white legs. Above that was a face of indescribable beauty and charm.
The sudden blow of beauty caused the set and the live comments to fall into a brief silence.
In that moment, they thought they saw an angel.
Is this…
Su Wanwan?
The staff member lowered his head blankly, seeing his own derogatory comment floating in the live stream. Those words suddenly became glaringly harsh.
