The Villainous Sister-in-law Mistakenly Marked as the Heroine (Transmigration) - Chapter 2

Lin Qile woke up groggily, feeling refreshed and utterly comfortable in every way. As she tried to turn over, she realized something in her arms was restricting her movement.

She opened her eyes.

A breathtakingly beautiful face right in front of her made her freeze.

Swollen lips, tear-stained eyes, and disheveled hair covering part of that stunning visage yet none of it could hide the other woman’s peerless beauty.

Her gaze trailed downward, love marks dotted the neck, some even turning bluish-purple.

That was intense.

Memories of last night slowly flooded back.

She had marked an omega!

Oh no, oh no!

Ding!

Congratulations, Host! Counterattack Points +5.

???

System?!

[Good morning, Host. You’re quite the beast marking the novel’s ultimate villain on your very first day. If you can get her to bear your child, you might finish this mission in just over a year.]

Lin Qile’s face paled. “T-the ultimate villain?!”

[Yep. Rong Jing is this story’s most ruthless antagonist. She’s the direct reason I brought you here, she’s too powerful for the protagonists to defeat.]

“The kind who’d eliminate obstacles without batting an eye?”

[Exactly.]

“Will she have me stuffed into a sack and thrown into the ocean to feed sharks now that I’ve marked her?!”

The woman had gone from threats to begging by the end Lin Qile was pretty sure she’d made her cry.

God!

She’d made the villain sob beneath her! She was just an innocent, single young woman was this kind of intense plot really necessary on day one?!

[That’s why I suggest you run. Figure out how to deal with the villain first. You’re the host I painstakingly chose, I don’t want you gone by day two.]

G-gone?

Her voice trembled. “If you knew Rong Jing was the villain, why didn’t you wake me up last night?!”

[The system can’t interfere with the host’s actions. I can only guide you.]

Gritting her teeth, she snapped, “Then why not warn me she was the villain from the start so I could’ve been prepared?!”

Who could’ve guessed the female lead’s aunt was the story’s big bad?!

Although, well.

Rong Jing’s devilish beauty and tormenting methods did have strong villain vibes.

[No use regretting it now, Host. Better think fast about how to handle this. Going dark.]

Lin Qile carefully slid her arm out from under Rong Jing’s head, ignoring the numbness, and quietly peeled back the covers to dress.

But the moment one foot touched the floor,  “Leaving after having your way with me?”

That hoarse voice alone revealed how thoroughly she’d been ravaged last night.

Her spine stiffened. Too terrified to turn around, her mind raced for solutions.

Three seconds later, Aaaah nothing came to mind!

Resigned, she took a deep breath and turned stiffly only to be stunned speechless by the sight before her.

Rong Jing had sat up, clutching the sheets to her body with one hand, yet failing to cover everything. Tantalizing love bites adorned her fair, delicate skin, exuding an irresistible allure.

Lin Qile knew exactly how soft and smooth that skin was she’d left those marks herself.

Thump-thump!

Her heartbeat went erratic.

Scolding herself internally now was not the time for lustful thoughts but for someone who’d been pure as a blank page until last night, restraint was impossible after getting a taste.

Her lips were swollen red.

She could still recall the taste of their kiss.

Swallowing hard, she realized she’d probably never forget last night.

Rong Jing tilted her chin up slightly, casting a dangerous glare her way, the pressure almost suffocating. Her red lips parted slightly as she issued a chilling threat, “Keep looking at me like that, and I’ll gouge your eyes out.”

“I—I—I—”

She quickly averted her gaze, but her burning ears betrayed her.

Rong Jing sneered, “What’s with the stuttering? Weren’t you so bold last night?”

The thought that her first time had been with such a waste of space made Rong Jing want to kill someone!

Her mother had taken her to countless doctors, all of whom claimed her pheromones were naturally frigid that she might never experience a heat cycle in her lifetime. Honestly, she couldn’t care less. She’d rather stay single than be tied down by marriage and children!

She’d fought with her mother over this more than once, all because she was too cold to be a proper omega.

If you keep this up, what alpha would ever want you?

Want her?

Rong Jing had wealth, beauty, and brains, why should she have to depend on an alpha to live?!

Glancing at the trembling alpha before her, she let out a derisive laugh. “Lin Qile, how do you want to die?”

Lin Qile plopped down onto the bed with a thud.

“Drugging Rong Wanning was a moment of insanity, I know I was wrong! But whether alpha or omega, once a rut or heat hits, self-control goes out the window. You’re an omega, you should understand that!”

Rong Jing narrowed her eyes and stepped closer.

“So it’s my fault now?”

“No, no, no!” She shook her head like a rattle drum. “It’s my fault! I was despicable, I lost my mind, I never should’ve hurt Wanning, I swear I’ve learned my lesson, Miss Rong!”

She bowed her head in frantic repentance, praying the villainess wouldn’t snap and end her miserable life on the spot.

The room fell into silence.

Lin Qile could practically hear her own breathing. Just as a drop of sweat was about to fall from her forehead onto the bed, Rong Jing finally spoke. “Two conditions.”

“Name them! Name them!”

Rong Jing: “First not a single word about last night leaves your lips. Otherwise, I’ll make sure you die twice, socially and physically.”

“Got it, got it!” Lin Qile nodded vigorously.

“Second,you’ll break off the engagement yourself and never harass Wanning again. Fail, and like I said death, twice over.”

“Understood!”

That was exactly what she wanted anyway!

Scrambling to pull on her clothes, she slid off the bed. “I’ll go cancel the engagement right now, Miss Rong. I promise I’ll get it done. And from now on, I won’t just avoid Wanning, I’ll steer clear of you too! Won’t even let my shadow cross your path!”

The moment Rong Jing shifted, a sharp pain twisted her expression darkly. “Get out!”

“Right away!”

She bolted from the hotel room. Standing by the elevator, her heart still pounded wildly. She patted her chest. “So terrifying. Moody as hell, no wonder she’s the villainess.”

System! Call the system!

[Here. Host, your shameless ability to grovel is truly impressive, keep it up!]

“Hey, was that sarcasm?”

[Not at all!]

“Is Rong Jing really an omega? She feels more intimidating than any alpha I’ve ever met!”

“After all, she’s the ultimate villain. Rong Jing’s character is set as a deranged, blackened antagonist, how could she not be strong enough to highlight the protagonist?”

“Pfft, highlight so much that she ends up surpassing the protagonist and collapses the entire story world?”

“Uh… yeah.”

“Every blackened villain I’ve seen turned evil because of unrequited love. Didn’t the book give Rong Jing a love interest or something? Someone to warm her icy heart and stop her from turning dark?” Lin Qile cautiously probed for information.

“Nope. Maybe you could try?”

Lin Qile nearly choked on her own saliva. “System, are you setting me up?”

“Not at all. If you want to overthrow the protagonist, do you think you can avoid the main villain? Besides, the villain only turned dark because of the protagonist’s actions. If you succeed, she naturally won’t turn evil well, mostly.”

“What do you mean ‘mostly’?”

“Host, you’ve just arrived in this world, and you’ve got three years. Take your time with the missions, no rush.”

Lin Qile negotiated, “If you’re making me overthrow the protagonist in this book, shouldn’t I at least understand the key characters? Show me Rong Jing’s background and personality. I don’t want to fight blind!”

“Sure! The system store has character profiles and plot outlines for everyone in the book. You can purchase them with your overthrow points.”

Right, she’d just earned +5 overthrow points!

She opened the system store.

A minimalist four-tiered shelf appeared in her mind, but all items were displayed as question marks.

“System, what’s going on?”

“Host, too bad your overthrow points aren’t enough to make any purchases. My hands are tied. Better work hard and earn more points!”

Lin Qile: “…”

“Friendly reminder: You’ll only earn significant overthrow points from missions related to the main villain or protagonist. For example, tackling the villain gave you 5 points, but other tasks won’t be as rewarding.”

Lin Qile couldn’t help but snark, “So besides dragging me into this book, what else can you actually do?”

“I can!”

“Go on, then!”

” I can wake you up in the morning!”

“I have an alarm clock!”

“And I can listen to you vent!”

Lin Qile laughed bitterly and replied sarcastically, “Wow, you’re just amazing, aren’t you?”

Ignoring the system, she stepped into the elevator, rubbing her temples as she pressed the button for the first floor.

Her head was pounding.

Seems like the pheromone inducer had done quite a number on her body. A hospital visit was in order.
