Transmigrated as the Black-Bellied Film Empress's Live-in Alpha (GL) - Chapter 1

Withered, fallen leaves drifted on the river, reflecting the dim yellow streetlights. Under the bridge arch, a woman sat on steps made of bricks, her face illuminated by her phone screen, looking drawn and tired.

“Sigh—”

Bai Nian let out her fourth long sigh of the evening, staring intently at the six-figure balance on her bank card, her face filled with worry.

Half an hour ago, she transmigrated into an ABO Yuri novel, becoming the cannon fodder female supporting character with the same name. Unfortunately, she was also the live-in scumbag Alpha who clung to the female lead, Chen Qingying, forcing her into disrepute.

Skipping the complicated web of love and hate, the ending saw the original character’s evil deeds exposed, leading to her imprisonment, much to everyone’s satisfaction.

Before transmigrating, Bai Nian, who was taking a shower, heard this part and shouted “Awesome!” in the small space! She then stepped out of the bathroom and walked to the sink, planning to listen to another book.

The water on her hands wasn’t wiped clean in time, and she accidentally touched the charger adapter. Suddenly, a current shot from her knuckles to her spinal cord, the painful numbness causing her brain to shut down for a moment. When she came to, the ceiling above her was pure white.

Her head felt woozy, and a bitter-sweet scent mingled in the air, lingering stubbornly. She gasped, propping her head up as she half-sat on the bed.

Huh?

The uncomfortable lightness and dryness of her body made her instinctively reach out. Her skin touched something cold, making her shiver.

What’s going on?

She quickly threw off the blanket, and a large gust of cool air rushed in. Aside from her light and revealing clothes, there didn’t seem to be any other major issues.

Bai Nian relaxed, but her hand froze completely when it touched the slight bulge in the bedding beside her.

Slowly turning her head, a strange face suddenly came into view.

The woman had long, slender, curved eyebrows, foxy eyes with an upturned corner, and refined, delicate structured bones. At this moment, her hand rested on her temple, her breathing even, as if she were asleep.

Bai Nian couldn’t help but shiver. Realizing her current predicament, and then recalling her half-naked body, what else was there to misunderstand?

Seeing no clothes to cover herself for a long time, she clutched the blanket tightly and scrambled to the edge of the bed, not even putting on her shoes. But her body was numb and weak, her bones half-soft as she leaned against the nightstand.

This movement woke the woman. Her slightly narrow double eyelids fluttered open, her brows furrowed, staring directly at the corner. Although her expression showed no noticeable change, Bai Nian inexplicably felt a chill down her spine.

Facing the sudden oppressive aura, she quickly pulled the blanket tighter around herself, speaking incoherently: “You, you don’t come over!”

Such a warning had no effect. Instead, the other person seemed to have heard a joke and showed a mocking expression.

“Bai Nian, must you resort to such despicable methods?”

How did she know my name? What despicable methods?

Bai Nian’s rusty thoughts slowly began to churn. As her gaze darted around, she saw teeth marks on the other person’s exposed shoulder, glaringly red.

Wait, something’s not right.

She re-examined her surroundings: a simple, minimalist decor, and the glass of the walk-in closet reflecting the light, vaguely revealing unfamiliar designer clothes. Displayed on hangers, they looked expensive at a glance.

Aside from the bed and a vanity table, there was no other furniture in the room.

The vague impression materialized. Suddenly, her face turned ashen, and the ABO Yuri novel she had just finished listening to before the electric shock popped into her mind.

In the book, there was a plot point where the scumbag Alpha, Bai Nian, after several subtle rejections from Chen Qingying regarding her attempts to take over the Chen family’s business, grew anxious.

Despite being married for many days, the two had never shared a bed. She was merely a front that Chen Qingying had found to ward off an arranged family marriage. If they divorced after the storm passed, she wouldn’t gain anything.

In desperation, she had to use a strong drug, forcing the matter to a point of no return.

And the tragic experiences of the female lead, Chen Qingying, began right here.

Bai Nian never expected that she would actually transmigrate, and become the wicked female supporting character who would meet a miserable end. Even more disheartening was that Chen Qingying had just seen through her trick.

Logically, the original character should have succeeded, but now it was Bai Nian who was at a disadvantage.

Although there were some discrepancies with the original text, it didn’t prevent Chen Qingying from already harboring resentment towards her.

Save me, save me, save me…

She wanted to cry but couldn’t, enduring the other person’s oppressive gaze. Thinking about her own counter-accusation just now, her momentum weakened by a few points.

“Um… I, I will take responsibility for you!”

Chen Qingying chuckled, but this laugh, when heard, was definitely not one of amusement. She got out of bed barefoot and was about to approach the corner when her body staggered.

Bai Nian could feel that the other person’s condition wasn’t good right now. Perhaps it was the intensely pungent pheromones in the room, or perhaps the drug hadn’t worn off, but her face was as dark as water.

“Take responsibility?” Chen Qingying rubbed her temple, repeating her words. “Bai Nian, I never knew you were so hypocritical.”

“Your scheme is exposed, and you still want to pretend?” The Omega panted, yet insisted on walking up to Bai Nian, squatting down to meet her gaze.

Being this close to such a beautiful face, even in a dire situation, Bai Nian’s heart fluttered. It wasn’t until her nose caught the strong, slightly bitter scent of rosemary that her senses somewhat returned.

“I’m not…” Bai Nian quickly tried to explain, but the other party gave her no chance.

“Sophistry. How did I not see your malicious intentions back then?” Chen Qingying’s voice was like a honey-dipped string, the vibrations carrying a sticky sensation.

An inexplicable restlessness arose within her body. Realizing the drug was still in effect, Bai Nian forcibly suppressed it.

She remembered that the original character and Chen Qingying had met in a bar. It was said that on that day, Chen Qingying was being pressured into marriage by her family. Her friends beside her were all advising her on how to deal with it, while the original character was working as a server at the bar.

That day, she happened to overhear their conversation outside the door, so she proactively went in to serve a fruit platter. Through their interactions, and given her decent looks and clean background, Chen Qingying signed a contract with her and brought her back to meet her family, which finally put an end to their family’s matchmaking ideas.

She never expected to bring back such a calamity.

Recalling this part of the plot, Bai Nian also wanted to ask, how did she not notice at all back then that this original character had ulterior motives?

However, the current priority was to clear her name and make Chen Qingying believe she was innocent.

“Um…” she whispered, like a student knocking on a teacher’s office door, “If I said…”

“I mean, if,” she racked her brains, picking and choosing from her limited vocabulary to form a sentence, “I’m actually not the Bai Nian you know, would you believe me?”

After she said this, they looked at each other in silence, the air filled with a faint awkwardness. Chen Qingying’s face grew even darker, looking at Bai Nian as if she were an idiot.

“Actually, I transmigrated here!” She decided to just throw caution to the wind and blurted it all out in one breath.

Sincerity truly is a killer move, the kind that stabs yourself.

As soon as the words fell, Chen Qingying suddenly reached out and grabbed the blanket wrapped around Bai Nian’s neck. The two were even closer, their breaths just inches apart.

She opened her mouth to speak, her eyes reflecting Bai Nian’s terrified expression.

This time, it was truly over.

Thinking of the original character’s tragic end, Bai Nian’s heart trembled.

She had always been a law-abiding citizen in her previous life. She wouldn’t be framed immediately after transmigrating and then face the iron bars, shedding tears of regret, would she?

No!—

Amidst her internal cries, the pressure on her neck loosened. Chen Qingying leaned back, groaning in pain as she clutched her head. She then looked at Bai Nian with reluctance and finally stood up.

Before her stood a pair of long, taut legs. Chen Qingying suppressed a sound in her throat and said in a low voice:

“Get out.”

A single, understated word. Bai Nian, enveloped in the shadows of the light, felt as if she had been granted a great pardon. The ten thousand ways she had imagined dying instantly vanished.

She immediately used her hands and feet, taking advantage of the situation. First, she turned her head and chuckled foolishly twice, then maintained a safe distance from the other person, quickly grabbing the white shirt crumpled under the bed.

The woman crossed her arms, watching her frantically pack her things. The lingering flush at the upturned corners of her eyes blinked twice, then quickly closed again.

The medicine the original character had found, Bai Nian’s legs felt as heavy as if they were filled with lead. She put on her clothes, and as soon as she stepped out the door, there was a “bang” behind her, and the only light source was completely cut off.

It was the height of summer, August’s weather humid and muggy. The colorful, intricate flowerbeds in the courtyard were tightly packed together, and mosquitoes flew around under the lights.

This was a small Western-style house, and looking out, the green belt stretched endlessly. The two villas were far apart, the neighbors’ off-white roofs hidden in the gaps between the trees, very suitable for relaxation.

Bai Nian walked on the pavement, her hand clutching the phone in her shirt pocket, her heart feeling lost.

Kicked out of the house, where could she go?

She remembered that the original character had always lived in Chen Qingying’s villa, and the previously rented apartment had already been given up. She opened her phone and scrolled through her contacts, realizing she barely knew anyone.

That made sense; Bai Nian was just a supporting character in the book, so of course, the author wouldn’t expand on her social circle.

Even in the bustling S City, 2 AM found it asleep. The lights of skyscrapers were extinguished, and vehicles on the road had significantly decreased. Aside from homeless people sleeping on the roadside and 24-hour convenience stores, there was almost no one in sight.

Finding a quiet spot under a bridge, Bai Nian pulled up her pant legs and sat down.

In the bushes, cicadas chirped loudly, and a bright moon hung in the darkening sky. In her temporarily safe situation, she let out a long sigh, worried about how to get through the night.

It wasn’t until her hand accidentally slipped into the banking app that Bai Nian had an idea.

Right, since the original character was a live-in Alpha recruited by Chen Qingying, she wouldn’t be treated poorly, would she? There must be some balance in her wallet, right?

Thinking this, her heart pounded. She nervously clicked into the app, and after fingerprint unlocking, instantly saw the six-figure sum on the screen.

!

Even if the original character had spent most of it, for Bai Nian, a hard-working daily grind employee, it was an enormous sum!

But as the initial excitement faded, she remembered that she had just angered Chen Qingying. Taking both food and money now seemed a bit improper.

Two little figures appeared in her mind, arguing and pulling at her rationality, each with their own opinion. Bai Nian stared intently at the six-figure balance, conflicted.

A few minutes later, Intercontinental Hotel.

“One night in a single-bedroom lake-view suite.” After discussing the deposit and room type with the hotel receptionist, Bai Nian confidently and proudly recited her card number.

Her foot had already moved towards the elevator as the receptionist bent over to type.

The next moment, she heard devastating news.

“I’m sorry, madam, this bank card has been frozen. You can choose another payment method.”
