Snatching the Scumbag Alphas' White Moonlight in a Dating Variety Show [Transmigration] - Chapter 1
The dream was bizarre, with blocks of deep red, light red, blue, purple, green, and orange drifting before her. Her body suddenly lost all sense of gravity, falling into a dense black. Xia Jinuo’s raven-black eyelashes trembled, and she opened her eyes in a daze.
Her heart pounded rapidly, a “thump-thump-thump” echoing in her ears. Xia Jinuo blinked, the daze in her eyes fading. She placed a hand over her heart and sat up from the bed, her dark hair sliding over her snowy-white shoulder and falling onto her rising and falling chest.
Xia Jinuo exhaled and looked down at her pajamas, her body stiffening as she was about to get out of bed.
No, these weren’t her clothes. She had never bought silk pajamas like this.
Xia Jinuo clenched her fists and calmly looked around, quickly realizing that this room wasn’t her bedroom either.
She distinctly remembered falling asleep in her own bedroom yesterday. She’d showered, changed into her own pajamas, read a novel for a bit in bed, and then fallen asleep. She definitely hadn’t slept past 10 PM.
Had someone kidnapped her here while she was asleep? What was their motive?
Xia Jinuo got out of bed, the hem of the red silk pajamas brushing against her fair legs. The contrast made the colors even more eye-catching.
The moment her feet touched the slippers, Xia Jinuo’s mind suddenly felt a dizzy spell, and she tumbled back onto the bed, the flimsy bed frame creaking sharply.
A flood of memories that weren’t hers rushed into her brain. Xia Jinuo’s head throbbed, and her pearly teeth bit her lip, a faint metallic taste spreading in her mouth.
She didn’t know how long it had been, but the pain finally slowly faded. Xia Jinuo’s hands, which had been clutching the bedsheet tightly, relaxed. It felt as if she had just endured a torrential downpour, raindrops sliding down her body, leaving her cold, damp, and sticky.
The switch of memory in her mind opened, and Xia Jinuo, as if retrieving her own memories, instinctively walked into the bathroom without needing to think.
Passing the vanity, Xia Jinuo turned her head to glance at the mirror. The girl in the mirror had a delicate aura, a pale complexion, and features very similar to hers, with only subtle differences – her facial lines were softer. Her dark eyes were moist and luminous, and her lips were covered in bite marks she had made herself.
Closing the glass shower door, Xia Jinuo turned on the shower, tilting her head back and letting the hot water hit her face. The warm stream washed away the chill from her limbs, and the sting on her lips made her mind clearer. Xia Jinuo began to sort through her memories while showering.
She had transmigrated, her soul had transmigrated.
The face she had just seen in the mirror confirmed that this body wasn’t hers. The body’s owner shared her given name, “Jinuo,” but this Jinuo’s surname was Ji, while hers was Xia.
“Ji Jinuo” was an 18th-tier celebrity, completely unknown in the entertainment industry. Yesterday, she had signed a variety show. Her agent had dropped her off at home, she’d gone to sleep, and woken up as her.
She wondered if “Ji Jinuo’s” soul had entered her body, and if she could adapt to that ordinary world.
The reason she was worried about “Ji Jinuo” was that Ji Jinuo’s world was completely different from hers. This was an ABO world with six genders. “Ji Jinuo” was a female Omega, but her body was in a world where there were mostly only two genders, male and female.
Xia Jinuo usually enjoyed reading novels, so she naturally knew what an ABO world meant. This was a setting devised by Y-country people for writing adult fiction. Omegas, regardless of gender, would have a estrus period once a month starting at age twenty, which could only be alleviated by an Alpha’s mark. Otherwise, it would be extremely painful. Omegas without Alpha pheromones for comfort would weaken and die early from the sustained pain.
In addition, Omegas were very susceptible to pregnancy.
Xia Jinuo felt the slightly raised, underdeveloped gland at the back of her neck. “Ji Jinuo” wouldn’t turn twenty for another month and hadn’t experienced a estrus period yet.
Fortunately, this world already had pheromone inhibitors, but these inhibitors would develop resistance and become ineffective after a maximum of ten years of use. Therefore, Omegas had to find their Alpha and marry before the age of thirty.
She had ten years. Maybe within ten years, she could find a way to transmigrate back.
Xia Jinuo came out of the shower, dragging a head of dripping wet, waist-length black hair. She had no particular feelings for long hair; the longest she ever kept it was shoulder-length. However, this long hair was meticulously cared for by “Ji Jinuo,” so she certainly couldn’t just casually cut it for her.
Xia Jinuo walked to the mirror. The “Ji Jinuo” in her memories was a delicate Omega. Among the Omegas in this world, her appearance wasn’t outstanding, but she was very good at acting, often practicing coy expressions in front of the mirror. Her goal was to find a super powerful Alpha to marry and achieve a class leap.
Xia Jinuo looked at the girl in the mirror, who had a gentle expression and a natural smile on her lips, feeling a headache coming on.
She considered herself an independent woman who couldn’t act coy. She had never acted coy with anyone in her life. It was impossible for her to learn “Ji Jinuo’s” ways. But what if she didn’t learn and someone realized she wasn’t “Ji Jinuo”?
Xia Jinuo tried to make a “cute” expression, but the smile on her face became stiff. Not only was it not cute, but her gentleness was gone too, leaving only awkwardness.
It seemed she’d have to come up with an excuse in advance.
Xia Jinuo unhurriedly blew her long hair until it was semi-dry. She picked out two less cute and less pink outfits from “Ji Jinuo’s” wardrobe and changed into them. Suddenly, her phone rang.
She walked to the bedside, bent down, and picked up the phone that had fallen into the long-pile carpet under the bed. She checked the caller ID, and her hand gripping the phone tightened.
It was Liu Yan, “Ji Jinuo’s” agent.
“Ji Jinuo’s” appearance wasn’t outstanding among Omega celebrities. The well-known agents at her agency didn’t see her potential, so she was ultimately assigned a similarly rookie agent, Liu Yan.
Liu Yan was a female Beta, one year older than “Ji Jinuo.” She had only worked as an executive agent for other artists for half a year and had no industry resources whatsoever. She could only rely on fighting for internal company resources for “Ji Jinuo.” This time, the variety show was something she had “snatched” for “Ji Jinuo” through fierce competition.
To say “snatched” isn’t entirely accurate, because Liu Yan had a mild temperament and rarely got into conflicts with people; she even argued slowly and couldn’t really “fight.” Another Omega female celebrity in the company had found a better variety show, and it just so happened that “Ji Jinuo” was the only Omega without work, so the variety show slot was “snatched” by Liu Yan in this manner.
“Ji Jinuo” hadn’t received any work for nearly three months. When she heard Liu Yan talk about a variety show, she signed immediately without understanding anything, which is why her memories didn’t contain more information about the show.
“Hello?” Xia Jinuo answered Liu Yan’s call.
Liu Yan paused. Even though Xia Jinuo had only said one word, Liu Yan noticed a subtle difference. “Jinuo, you absolutely must attend Zu Can’s birthday party the day after tomorrow as a senior sister from the same company. You’ll need to prepare your gift and dress in advance.”
“Liu Yan, I’m out of money,” Xia Jinuo said softly. “I was too extravagant before, and now I only have five thousand yuan left in my bank account. The gift can be a cheap but delicate small accessory, but what about the dress?”
Xia Jinuo spoke so much in one breath that Liu Yan paused even longer this time. “…The dress isn’t a problem, you can rent a nice one.”
She finished speaking, took a deep breath, and cautiously asked, “Jinuo, is this the persona you’re setting for yourself for the variety show? Being so gentle, isn’t it a bit hard to maintain?”
If she slipped up, she would definitely be ridiculed.
Xia Jinuo smiled. Liu Yan had already voiced the excuse she had prepared, which meant this excuse was pretty good. Now she wouldn’t have to painstakingly explain herself or worry about people not believing her.
“There’s still a month until the variety show recording, so practicing for a month in advance is enough,” Xia Jinuo said.
“Ji Jinuo” had always felt that her debut half a year ago had left her nameless in the entertainment industry not just because of her appearance, but also because of her personality.
She was a bit slow-witted and academically mediocre. She thought her good looks would be a way out, dropped out of university to become a celebrity, but her looks were like a fish eye compared to the pearls of other Omegas in the entertainment industry. After “Ji Jinuo” signed the variety show, she immediately decided to create a charming new persona for herself.
