The Scumbag Alpha's Redemption in a Sweet Romance - Chapter 1

 Chapter 1: Sister, Have a Drink

A cold draft from the air conditioner blew across her bare arms, making Ning Chun shiver.

Her long, seaweed-like hair covered a face still fuzzy from a hangover. She didn’t open her eyes, only feeling strange. When had the weather in the apocalypse ever been so cool?

What the hell, is there going to be another ecological mutation?

As her mind cleared, she noticed something was wrong. A clear, rich jasmine scent was constantly filling her lungs. She hadn’t smelled such fresh flowers in a long time. It was truly a once-in-a-lifetime experience.

Following the source of the scent, Ning Chun lifted her head to nuzzle it, her hand touching a soft, supple spot.

Slap! A loud sound echoed in her ears, and her face immediately stung.

Holy sh1t!

She was instantly sober. There was someone pressed beneath her! And a living one at that.

Having survived in the apocalypse, Ning Chun’s alertness was always top-notch. There was no way she’d be sleeping like a log with someone so close.

She immediately flipped over, brushed the hair from her face, grabbed a pillow to use as a weapon, and stared vigilantly at the person on the bed.

“What did you drug me with? Hand it over!” Her voice was slightly hoarse, and it wasn’t her usual one.

While Ning Chun was momentarily stunned, the woman on the bed sat up, clutching her bare shoulders. Her eyes held four parts rage, five parts murderous intent, and one part doubt.

Yan Hua’s gentle voice was now filled with pure hatred. She glared at Ning Chun and said, “Ning Chun, I’ll return the humiliation of today a hundredfold.”

“I will kill you!”

The words “kill you” echoed in Ning Chun’s mind, a phrase that kept repeating and repeating. It eventually clicked, locking onto a novel.

Ning Chun jolted. She had transmigrated into a book!

[Congratulations, host, you have successfully bound to the transmigration system. Please follow the prompts to complete your missions, raise your own rank, and change your tragic ending.]

[Mission 1 initiated. Please rescue the female protagonist’s younger sister, Yan Qingqing, as soon as possible. Upon mission completion, your differentiation rank will upgrade from C to B. Mission time limit: one month.]

Several system voices rang out one after another in her head, making her even more certain that she had transmigrated.

The book she was in was called The Possessive and Scum Alpha’s Doting Love, an over-the-top, mindless, and angsty novel. The plot included, but was not limited to, blinding, severing hands, jumping off a building, and miscarriages—the more melodramatic, the better.

In this ABO setting, the gender distinctions of men and women are replaced by three types: Alpha, Omega, and Beta. Excluding Betas, Alphas and Omegas are divided into four ranks, from highest to lowest: S, A, B, and C.

Ning Chun was a C-rank Alpha, with mediocre talent but a love for causing trouble.

Yan Hua was the female protagonist of this novel, a rare and stunning top-tier Omega. If she so much as beckoned, countless people would flock to her.

Ning Chun was one of those countless people drawn to her. Because of a dare from her friends and being drunk, she abducted Yan Hua on a dark and windy night.

At that time, Yan Hua had just suffered the blow of her parents’ death, her sister’s illness, and her family’s fortune being taken. She was at her most vulnerable. Ning Chun’s reckless action almost drove her crazy. This caused the protagonist to have a severe psychological trauma whenever she saw the original Ning Chun.

Ning Chun surveyed the scene. Yan Hua was crying, her body covered by her hands, and one of her bare arms was covered in hickeys. It was obvious what had happened. It was too intense, so intense that Ning Chun wanted to call the police.

In her current state, it was impossible to even approach Yan Hua, let alone ask about her sister’s situation. A scum Alpha, a bottom-of-the-barrel rank, and a terrible plot. It couldn’t get worse.

After receiving the information about her own fate, Ning Chun didn’t want to live for a moment.

In the original novel, the female protagonist, despite the mental and physical torment, remained strong and resilient, finding ways to escape the scum Alpha. She eventually used the evidence she had to team up with her childhood friend and take down the scum Alpha’s entire family.

Ning Chun met the most tragic end. Her scent gland was gouged out, her tendons were severed, and she was thrown into the wilderness to be burned alive.

Calm on the surface but trembling inside, Ning Chun communicated with the system’s consciousness: Is it still possible to kneel and beg for her forgiveness?

System: [Host, you are forbidden from acting out of character!]

Well, she’d die anyway, so Ning Chun immediately gave up: Then I quit.

System: [Upon mission completion, you will receive 100 billion.]

100 billion. The setting of this novel was very similar to the pre-apocalypse era. For Ning Chun, who was used to poverty, 100 billion was a huge sum. She had never even dreamed of so much money.

Just to be clear, I’m only doing this because I think the mission is interesting, not because I’m a money-grubber!

Let’s get to work!

[Transmigration system activation rate 20%… 50%… 100%.]

[Plot integration complete.]

[Please accept Mission 1.]

Ning Chun accepted Mission 1. The system disappeared, and the surroundings returned to how they were when she first arrived.

The air from the silent air conditioner was cool, with no hint of warmth.

Ning Chun quickly fell into character, scolding in a harsh voice: “Stop crying. It’s giving me a headache!”

Yan Hua glared at her, biting her lip without a sound.

“It took me a lot of effort to get you back here. Who would have thought our compatibility would be so low?” Ning Chun pulled out the most anger-inducing line from the plot, feigning irritation and displeasure.

Not all Alphas and Omegas have compatible pheromones. To ensure the reproduction of offspring, it was standard practice in this world for every A and O to get their compatibility tested before marriage.

Yan Hua was stunned for a moment and quickly reached to feel her scent gland. Though it was sore and had scratches, there were indeed no signs of pheromone intrusion.

Simply put, the current Ning Chun was completely incapable of marking Yan Hua.

Ning Chun was speechless. The original owner’s compatibility with the protagonist was so low, far from the 60% passing line, that she couldn’t even fully mark her. With a setting like this, the original owner must be either truly in love or truly a scumbag to torment her from start to finish.

Although the marking failed, the humiliation was set in stone.

Ning Chun lazily put on a silk robe and sat in a soft chair. In a domineering and forceful tone, she said, “I’ll give you two choices: first, you marry me. Second, I lock you in here, and you can never leave.”

When a person is presented with both a domineering and a perverse demand, a smart person knows what to choose.

Yan Hua’s pure and delicate face was streaked with tears. She wanted to leap up and fight Ning Chun to the death, but the disparity in strength was too great. She wasn’t foolish enough to try.

“Go to hell.”

“Miss Yan, ‘go to hell’ isn’t an option.” Ning Chun smirked, grabbing a dice from a corner. She trapped it under a cup and tapped it on the table, her voice seductive: “In that case, I’ll help you choose. Odd, and you marry me. Even, and you’re locked up.”

“Alright, stop staring. Do you like looking at me that much?” Ning Chun said, shaking the cup.

The sound of the dice rattling inside the glass cup was clear and jarring. Yan Hua’s heart pounded. How could her fate be decided by a tiny dice?

The cup stopped. Ning Chun raised an eyebrow, looking at Yan Hua with amusement. She lifted the cup slightly.

“Wait!” Yan Hua suddenly yelled. “I… I choose the first one.”

Ning Chun put the cup back down and smiled with satisfaction. “Good. Whatever Miss Yan says.”

Forced to choose the first option, Yan Hua’s body suddenly went limp. She took deep breaths. This Ning Chun was too dangerous. She had to escape as soon as possible. And her sister, Qingqing, she wondered how Qingqing was.

Tears fell one after another, blurring her vision.

Ning Chun tossed the cup covering the dice aside. The upward-facing side was clearly an odd number, a 5.

Ning Chun, wearing her sheepskin slippers, left the room. Zhang Ma, the servant preparing dinner, saw her and immediately came forward with a smile. “Miss, are you rested? Would you like something to eat? I’ll prepare it now.”

She was indeed hungry after all that. She nodded with a cold expression. She also asked her to call the butler.

The villa was large, three stories high, worth hundreds of millions. The decor was luxurious and extravagant. Ning Chun recalled that the original owner owned several pharmaceutical companies. They were very profitable, but there were some issues with the processes and ingredients. These hidden dangers could easily be exposed, which explained how the protagonist would catch her.

The house was beautiful, but every day she lived here felt like a giant sword hanging over her head. She felt uneasy. It was better to just complete the missions, get her 100 billion, and then buying a villa—or ten—would be easy.

She had just reached the dining room when she saw the butler. He thoughtfully pulled out a chair for her, laid out a napkin, and once she was seated, he took out a decanter and elegantly poured the decanted red wine into a glass.

Various dishes were placed on the table one after another. Ning Chun’s calm expression almost broke. Life in the apocalypse was harsh. She had never seen so many exquisite dishes. She often ate one meal and went hungry for three days. If she had money, she could exchange it for some supplies, but without it, she just had to endure.

Ning Chun’s stomach was rumbling, but she couldn’t break character. Once everything was ready, she found an excuse about having an important matter to discuss with the butler and had everyone else leave.

Ning Chun cut a piece of lamb chop and put it in her mouth. The chewiness of the lean meat mixed with the richness of the fat was intensely satisfying. It was so delicious she was almost moved to tears. She hadn’t eaten meat in a very long time.

Although she really wanted to devour the food, there was still someone nearby, so she could only chew slowly. Afterward, she elegantly wiped her lips with a napkin.

“Butler, there are a few important things I need you to do. First, draft a marriage agreement between me and Miss Yan as soon as possible. Second, book an appointment for a pheromone compatibility test for us. Third, check on the current situation of the Yan family.”

The butler’s eyes immediately lit up. These matters were closely related to the miss’s lifelong happiness. He had to handle them well, and if he did, the madam would surely reward him.

The butler accepted the tasks and scurried off to carry them out.

With no one else around, Ning Chun went on a whirlwind of a meal. Her eating was not exactly elegant, but it wasn’t rude either. Her mouth simply kept chewing nonstop. In a little while, most of the dishes on the table were gone, and even the wine in the glass was completely finished.

The moment she put the glass down, someone appeared across from her.

Yan Hua had a very important reason for seeking her out. She hadn’t expected to see such a different side of Ning Chun, her cheeks puffed out from eating.

The fear she had felt immediately lessened by two points.

Yan Hua averted her eyes, still maintaining her cold demeanor. “I need to go home tomorrow.”
