Transmigrated as a Cannon Fodder Alpha in a Scum Alpha Novel (GL) - Chapter 8
Since female Alphas have the same bodily structure as ordinary people, and Alphas in this world usually don’t emit pheromones except during estrus, Fu Suihan hadn’t deliberately studied the gland.
But even she, despite her obliviousness, could tell from Song Shixue’s reaction that the gland was very important to Omegas and an extremely private area.
“I’m sorry,” she whispered, and opened the car door with one hand. Due to the loss of balance, Song Shixue hugged her even tighter. Her exposed skin also seemed to heat up, wanting to transfer this few seconds of physical contact to Fu Suihan.
Fu Suihan initially felt a few seconds of discomfort, but as the car door opened wide, the scent of pheromone inhibitors rushed in, suppressing that brief strange feeling.
After the car door closed, Song Shixue, who had been clutching a corner of her collar, finally loosened her grip.
The light wasn’t bright, but it was enough for Fu Suihan to see the faint blush spreading across Song Shixue’s fair cheeks.
It was very subtle, and very cute.
Silence reigned; no one actively broke the quiet. It wasn’t until the car was driving on the road, seeing daylight again, that Song Shixue finally wiped her hands with a tissue and handed the document, which should have been given to Lin Jiyue, to Fu Suihan.
Fu Suihan hadn’t yet fully recovered, and instinctively took it. When she looked at the pages, her eyes trembled.
White background, black text, with only one line written.
“For the Emperor” Shen Miaomiao Audition Script (including character biography)
In the original novel, the TV series “For the Emperor” was an “unparalleled” good opportunity.
It was co-produced by several video platforms with an excellent production team. The female lead was originally set to be Song Shixue, but the production was shelved for several years for unknown reasons. When it restarted, Song Shixue was unavailable, and the opportunity fell to the increasingly stable Fu Qingning. It was after this drama that Fu Qingning won several awards, rose to fame overnight, and completely caught up with Song Shixue.
This was a drama that truly cost hundreds of millions. Xinghui’s resources paled in comparison.
And now, it was in front of her, given to her by Song Shixue.
“Why?”
This was Fu Suihan’s only question.
A smile finally appeared in Song Shixue’s eyes. Her tone was slow, and she misinterpreted her meaning: “Hmm? Why is the contract a script? Seventy million in liquidated damages, I wouldn’t dare to ask Lin Jiyue for it, and she wouldn’t dare to give it, so naturally, there’s no need to specially prepare one.”
“…” Fu Suihan, of course, knew she was doing it on purpose. After a moment of sulking, she said, “Thank you… for your kindness, but I can’t act.”
This was also the truth.
Fu Suihan transmigrated through various worlds, claiming to become someone, but in reality, she was just unrestrainedly being herself. Acting, to her, was more like a word, a distant word.
Song Shixue, however, said, “No one is born knowing how to do something. Trying new things is not necessarily a bad idea.”
“What’s more, this is just an audition opportunity. Whether you get the role depends on you.”
The back seat was quiet for a few seconds. Song Shixue’s gaze became serious: “The studio isn’t a front. I genuinely want to sign you.”
“My contract with Universal is expiring soon. I need to establish my own business, and I need someone to help me,” Song Shixue said. “You’re very suitable.”
Fu Suihan: “…”
Suitable? Where was she suitable? Was it because of the original owner’s crazy remarks from three years ago, every single one a bad point?
Song Shixue, however, subtly shifted her eyes and asked, “Are you afraid I’ll harm you?”
Fu Suihan thought to herself, Of course not.
With the conversation already at this point, refusing would seem rather ungracious. Fu Suihan nodded: “Thank you, Song…”
Fu Suihan wanted to address Song Shixue as “Miss” like the Beta, or at the very least, “Senior.” But Song Shixue interrupted: “No need to be so formal, just call me Shixue.”
Fu Suihan could only swallow the “Xiao” character: “Shixue.”
Visibly, Song Shixue relaxed. She nodded slightly, indicating satisfaction.
Fu Suihan, looking out the window and seeing only unfamiliar streetscapes, couldn’t calm down. She turned her face and looked at Song Shixue with a puzzled expression. Song Shixue then explained casually, “The studio will be established after my contract with Universal expires. For now, we’re going to my estate.”
“Your room has been prepared, and fresh clothes are ready,” she said methodically. “I’ll also arrange for someone to pick up your luggage. If you’re worried, you can go with them then. They’ll all listen to you.”
Having finished speaking, seeing Fu Suihan still looking bewildered, Song Shixue patiently asked, “Any other questions?”
Fu Suihan’s luggage contained no valuables, and she wasn’t particular about accommodations, so there was naturally no reason to refuse.
The only thing that could be considered a “problem” was that Song Shixue was too considerate, so considerate that Fu Suihan couldn’t say no.
But even if she asked further, Song Shixue would only use “the studio” as an excuse.
Since she couldn’t get a real answer, Fu Suihan decided not to overthink it, thanked her earnestly once again, and only after Song Shixue turned her face away, did she open the script.
The original novel didn’t describe the plot of “For the Emperor” in much detail. The focus was on how high the viewership was, how popular the CP was, and how Fu Qingning became a legendary figure. Fu Suihan thought that if it was hyped so much, it must be a masterpiece worthy of film history.
But in reality, it was just an ancient costume idol drama dressed as a “female emperor” story.
The story detailed how the world was divided into four, and in the chaotic and decaying times, rumors spread that “whoever obtains the Town Evil Sword will conquer the world.” By chance, the deposed crown princess of Wei, Ming Jue, meets the male lead. Guided by him, she obtains the Town Evil Sword, first quelling the chaos within the palace. Then, surrounded by her childhood sweethearts and chosen ones attracted by her charisma, she saves the world, restores peace and prosperity, and finally ascends to the throne, achieving perfect merit.
The charming female lead passes through thousands of leaves, but not a single petal clings to her. Yet, some always regard her as a rival.
Fu Suihan: “…”
Yes. Even in acting, she played a vicious female supporting character who fought with the female lead over a man.
Shen Miaomiao was born into a military family, naturally wild and unrestrained, but she was deeply in love with the male lead, who was disguised as Ming Jue’s bodyguard.
The male lead was indifferent to her, so Shen Miaomiao constantly picked faults with Ming Jue. But Ming Jue’s character was pure and kind, and she reformed Shen Miaomiao with love. Shen Miaomiao then followed the two on their journey to save the world without hesitation. Eventually, during an assassin’s ambush, she died in Ming Jue’s arms after blocking a sword for an important supporting character.
Fu Suihan skimmed through the character’s life story, silent for a long time, as if she had uncovered the truth behind Song Shixue’s reluctance to take this role:
Self-sabotage.
The plot was foolish, the characters’ intelligence was lowered, and no matter how good the production was, it couldn’t compare to any of the films Song Shixue had previously shot.
Fu Suihan wanted to return the script to Song Shixue again.
But the Omega she was thinking of had already closed her eyes. Her breathing was light, clearly asleep.
Perhaps due to the bumpy ride, Song Shixue seemed uncomfortable, her delicate brows slightly furrowed, inexplicably giving one an urge to smooth them out for her.
She couldn’t read the script anymore. Fu Suihan breathed calmly for a long time before shifting her attention to StarNet.
Xinghui Entertainment had just released a statement about terminating her contract. Likes quickly surpassed 200,000, and comments reached 100,000. Two-thirds of them were Fu Qingning’s fans enthusiastically celebrating her departure, and the remaining third were fans of other artists criticizing the company for its inaction.
Before leaving, Fu Suihan didn’t forget to have Lin Jiyue change the password.
The account was back in Fu Suihan’s hands. She scrolled through the feed for a while and surprisingly found a Fu Qingning fan who had threatened to kill her whole family last night, but was now using polite language to set the tone. After Browse their homepage, she retweeted their post from ten minutes ago:
[Fu Suihan V]: I like the first four words of your whole text [heart]//Fu Qingning’s Hand Warmer V: Looks decent, but unfortunately after half a life in showbiz, still a nobody Alpha. Fame relies on strength, not buying trends and clinging on. Qingning doesn’t want to associate with the behavior of a stray Alpha trying to freeload. Better to look forward to…]
Netizens who were actively following her feed saw the highlighted “Looks decent”: …
The comment section was immediately swept with “LOL” and “hahahahaha.” After Fu Suihan commented on several more posts, she turned off her phone.
When she came back to her senses, she realized that there was some weight on her shoulder. Fu Suihan was startled. She looked down and saw Song Shixue, who had leaned against her at some point.
Fu Suihan’s perception had always been keen. After becoming an Alpha, her five senses and physique had elevated by several levels.
Only Song Shixue was the exception, silently approaching her.
The woman’s eyebrows had been subtly smoothed at some point. Fu Suihan softly called out, “Song—”
As soon as she spoke, she bit her tongue, then corrected herself, “Shixue?”
Song Shixue naturally didn’t respond; even her breathing maintained a consistent rhythm.
Fu Suihan watched her, hesitated for two seconds, then straightened her body. She quietly raised her hand and adjusted the position of Song Shixue’s face, wanting to make her more comfortable.
Learning from past experience, she avoided her neck and gland this time, moving very gently.
The good news was that Song Shixue wasn’t awakened by her.
Fu Suihan sat upright, her hands unconsciously gripping the script.
Outside the window, a warm breeze blew as the car entered Song Shixue’s manor.
Author’s Notes:
Bad news: A small section of the script got crumpled due to her nervousness.
Suihan: “…?”
