"The Alpha Who Abandoned Love—And Got a Second Chance" - Chapter 1

Beijing — Milu Bar
The lights flashed red and green, the music blared like thunder, and the air was thick with the intoxicating scent of money and desire. This was a gathering of the city’s spoiled elites — a second-generation rich kids’ playground.
Milu, the most exclusive nightclub in Beijing, was famous for its discretion and privacy. It had become the go-to haunt for these young aristocrats to indulge and lose control — as long as nobody died, anything went.
At the bar, a woman sat alone in a stunning crimson dress, her long, slender fingers wrapped around a glass of expensive vodka called Star of the Deep Sea. Her eyes were calm and unreadable — no one could tell what she was thinking.
In the dim lighting, the deep blue glass shimmered. The clear liquid inside mirrored the undulating sea, rippling gently with each subtle movement of her hand.
Even the strangers around her could tell: she was a mature, seductive Alpha.
With her alluring figure, striking face, and elegant collarbones, she exuded a deadly charm that made the surrounding Omegas restless. In a place charged with temptation and impulsive decisions, an Alpha like her was pure magnetism.
But her expression was so cold, it froze any approach. Even those bold enough to flirt backed off. She didn’t look like she was here for fun — she looked like she was here to work.
Just then, a sultry woman in a sleek black dress approached and sat beside her, teasingly:
“What’s up with you today, Miss Lin? Your face is so dark it’s chasing away all my potential flings.”
Lin Xi put down her glass and glanced up. The woman seemed familiar — maybe even a close friend.
Because five minutes ago, Lin Xi had suddenly appeared in this place without warning.
A strange bar. Strange music. A strange crowd of lavishly dressed, wildly partying strangers.
She remembered clearly — she’d just caught her girlfriend cheating.
She was an ordinary nine-to-five office worker with no privileged background but a strikingly bold face. Unlike others who relied on looks to climb the ladder, she had always depended solely on her own hands to carve out a place in the world.
After graduating, she’d landed a job at a design firm. Just as she was about to pass her probation and go full-time, she discovered her girlfriend was cheating — with a man nearly fifty years old.
“You can’t give me the life I want.”
“Lin Xi, you’re a great person. But I want more.”
“Yes, I cheated. I admit it.”
“But Lin Xi, I don’t want you scrimping for two months just to buy me a bag. I don’t want you sacrificing for me like that. What about our future? Where’s our house going to come from?”
“I’m tired of arguing over groceries and bills…”
“Didn’t you say you’d let me go if I met someone better?”
Lin Xi shut her eyes in pain.
If the reason for the betrayal was her poverty — if the reason was that she couldn’t afford a home just yet — then maybe she had no grounds to argue.
But she had only just graduated. Her future had barely begun. Just because she was poor now didn’t mean she’d always be.
Still, none of it mattered anymore — because after fainting in that mall, she had awakened in an entirely different world.
The woman beside her leaned closer and whispered:
“Wait, did you really marry her? I thought you were just playing around?”
Lin Xi smiled faintly, brushing it off:
“Suddenly… I don’t feel like playing anymore.”
The woman froze.
Just then, the phone resting on the bar vibrated. Lin Xi picked it up, swiped the screen — it was a text.
Chu Muqing: Since everything’s been said, let’s just get a divorce.
Lin Xi’s finger trembled slightly.
Chu Muqing?
The same Chu Muqing from the ABO yuri novel she’d just read the night before?
The woman beside her was stunned.
“What are you talking about? Not playing? Don’t tell me you’re getting serious about Chu Muqing?”
Lin Xi didn’t respond. She’d noticed something — when she saw that message, her pupils contracted slightly. Her focus drifted.
“Come on, stop joking. You’ve only been married for three days!”
Everyone in their circle knew what kind of person Lin Xi was.
Like the woman beside her, Lin Xi was an Alpha — beautiful, wild, generous, and the poster child of a spoiled heiress. Born into the elite Lin family, one of the most powerful in Beijing, everyone here treated her like royalty.
She had two older brothers, which meant she wasn’t under any pressure to inherit the family empire — so she partied freely and played recklessly. When it came to seducing and toying with Omegas, Lin Xi was in a league of her own.
But now… everything had changed.
She had transmigrated into a yuri ABO novel titled “To My Gentle Love, Qing Qing Zijing.”
In the story, the heroine Chu Muqing, a second daughter of the powerful Chu family, was an Omega with a scandalous past — a child out of wedlock. Ostracized by society and disowned by her family, she struggled to raise her daughter alone.
That’s when an Alpha named Lin Xi appeared. Like the real Lin Xi, she was a humble office worker. She told Chu Muqing she didn’t mind the child, didn’t care about her being marked, and wanted to give them both a real home.
But everything Lin Xi said… was a lie.
After they married, Chu Muqing never let Lin Xi touch her. Twisted with resentment, Lin Xi began to unravel. First, she abused Chu Muqing’s daughter. Then, when Chu Muqing fell ill — betrayed by her own family — Lin Xi dropped the mask. She drank, cursed, beat her, and one frigid night, tricked the girl into catching fish in an icy river.
The child never came back.
With no proof of murder, Lin Xi was never arrested. Instead, she kicked the sickly Chu Muqing out.
That day, Chu Muqing finally saw her for what she was — a wolf in human clothing. She recovered, divorced Lin Xi, and left the country. There, she met the other female lead, Feng Zijing — a true Alpha, noble and respectful. With Feng’s help, Chu Muqing took back everything stolen from her by the Chu family.
As for Lin Xi?
She died one freezing night in a cold, dark lake.
No one ever found out how. The final image was Chu Muqing walking away hand in hand with her true Alpha.
Now, remembering the plot, Lin Xi was falling apart.
She’d become that cruel, twisted Alpha — doomed to a tragic end.
No, not doomed. She was guaranteed to die miserably.
But judging by the timeline, they’d only been married three days. Maybe she hadn’t hurt Chu Muqing or her daughter yet…
Maybe?
But then why the divorce message? Had the original Lin Xi already done something terrible?
What baffled her most was the inconsistency. The Lin Xi in the book was just an office worker, like her. But everything about her outfit — the designer red dress, the luxury watch sparkling with diamonds — screamed wealth.
Eight figures, at least.
She glanced around, about to ask her companion more questions when—
A small, unfamiliar girl appeared beside her.
Tiny, with a princess dress and round eyes full of light, the child barely reached her waist.
A literal angel.
Lin Xi frowned slightly.
“Sweetheart, what are you doing in a place like this? Where’s your mom?”
She looked around. The clubgoers were too busy partying to notice a child.
The little girl blinked, then placed her chubby hands on Lin Xi’s wrist and said in a soft, confused voice:
“You’re my mom.”
“…What?!”
Lin Xi nearly stopped breathing.
