A Delicate Beauty Holding a Villain’s Script - Chapter 1

“Well then, I’ll leave my Li-mei in your hands. Please, be sure to take good care of him.”

A sleek aircraft hovered by the roadside, its tail silently emitting blue flames. Its silver exterior shimmered in the sunlight, exuding a heavy futuristic vibe.

A man with long hair stood dressed in a formal white suit. The fabric was exceptionally well-tailored, outlining his tall and upright stature. His features were soft, yet his skin was a sun-kissed wheat tone. With silver hair cascading down to his waist, the clash of colors created a striking and unique charm. He was currently speaking to another man standing opposite him, their voices drifting faintly through the air.

Inside the aircraft, a youth sat with his chin resting on his hands, his arms propped against the transparent porthole. He appeared to be waiting obediently for the two, but a faint blue flicker of digital code crossed his eyes.

(Plot transmitting… 1%… 99%…)

(Transmission complete)

The youth felt a wave of dizziness and shook his head gently. His soft hair instantly became messy, partially veiling his face. His slender fingers pressed against the glass with slight force, turning his pale pink fingertips a ghostly white.

“Phew…” He let out a soft breath. Once the vertigo subsided, he reached up to brush the stray hairs behind his head. His skin was so white it was almost transparent, forming a sharp contrast with his pitch-black hair.

Revealed was a flawlessly beautiful face. His features were exquisite and small, set on a face the size of a palm. His lips were a saturated, vivid red, and his “peach blossom” eyes always seemed to brim with tears, sparkling like radiant water.

It seemed his constitution was poor; even a slightly heavy breath required effort. His chest heaved subtly, presenting a picture of utter fragility. The youth was so fair he seemed to glow, and except for his bright eyes and dark hair, every part of him appeared incredibly noble and delicate.

His vivid lip color and the slightly dilated black pupils when he looked up made him look like a soul-stealing succubus.

In his mind, 051 spoke up impatiently: (My dear Host! This is our first world! You must do your best)

“I will try my best.” To become the most outstanding villain.

Li Rangnian nodded slightly. Even that small movement made him feel lightheaded. Tears already clung to his eyes, and with his brows slightly furrowed, he looked as if he were about to cry, making him all the more pitiable and moving.

The long-haired man outside noticed this and immediately strode over, bending down as he entered the aircraft. A fresh scent of lemon wafted toward Li Rangnian. “Li-mei, are you feeling unwell again?”

As he spoke, his fingers habitually touched Li Rangnian’s forehead, gently massaging the area near his temples.

A few minutes passed, and Li Rangnian felt much better. His pale hand rested on the man’s arm; without using much strength, he gave a soft push. “Okay, I’m much better now. Thank you…”

“No need for thanks, Li-mei.” That “kitten-like” strength was nothing to the man, but the warmth from the youth’s fingertips through the fabric made his skin itch strangely.

The long-haired man, Bai Yan, narrowed his eyes and smiled. He exuded an air of clear moonlight and gentle wind, the classic “gentle big brother next door” type.

Li Rangnian withdrew his hand and looked up at him, his eyelashes trembling like a butterfly about to take flight. The man before him was a silver-haired, dark-skinned beauty, and the faint perfume he wore was a pleasant lemon scent.

Bai Yan: A supporting character in the plot, an A-rank Beta, and the villain’s childhood friend.

As Li Rangnian continued to digest the fragmented information in his mind, the glass was suddenly tapped from the outside. He turned his head and met the scorching gaze of an Alpha.

It was the gaze of a predator looking at prey, dangerous, deep, and capable of making one’s soul tremble.

The owner of such a gaze was, of course, a very handsome Alpha. His features were three-dimensional, with a sharp jawline and a face that looked as if it were carved by a blade. His high nose bridge and thick eyelashes cast fan-shaped shadows beneath his eyes. His lips were thin and pale, the kind that looked perfect for kissing.

He wore a black trench coat with a high collar that hid his neck, and his chin was pointed. He was like an unsheathed sword, possessing a sharp, piercing beauty.

Qin Yuan: The “Chosen One,” the Protagonist Gong (Top) of the story, and an S-rank Alpha.

Qin Yuan wore a smirk, the corners of his eyes tilted upward. His dark pupils stared unblinkingly at Li Rangnian. Suddenly, he opened his mouth and silently mouthed a few words, his eyes clearly filled with playfulness.

Li-mei, aren’t you coming down yet?

Ah, seriously, why does everyone call him that!

Li Rangnian’s pale cheeks were suddenly stained with an alluring crimson, like bright sunset clouds. He hurriedly turned his head away and pushed Bai Yan again, his face still burning. “Okay, let’s go down quickly.”

Bai Yan’s gaze swept over his face, hiding a smile. He stepped out first and extended a hand toward the aircraft. Li Rangnian didn’t hesitate, resting his hand lightly on Bai Yan’s to help himself down. Once he was steady, he withdrew his hand and stood by Bai Yan’s side. Bai Yan naturally let his arm drop, but his fingertips rubbed together, reminiscing about the sensation from a moment ago.

According to the plot, the three had known each other since childhood. However, Li Rangnian and Bai Yan were closer, while Qin Yuan and Bai Yan were like-minded friends.

Today was the opening day of the Federation’s First Military Academy. Both Qin Yuan and Li Rangnian had entered based on their own abilities. They needed to learn enough skills and expand their networks to help their families seize more power in the future. As for Bai Yan, his family was dedicated to business, so he did not study here.

Bai Yan’s family would soon arrive to pick him up, so he couldn’t stay long. After repeatedly instructing Qin Yuan to take good care of his childhood friend, he reached out and ruffled Li Rangnian’s hair, laughing. “Li-mei, be good. Stay safe, and I’ll come to see you when I have time.”

Li Rangnian couldn’t dodge the “evil claws,” and his hair was messed up again. His full lips pouted slightly, looking like a cat asking for a kiss.

“I’m not a child anymore, I know!”

This was a typical ABO world. Alphas were born with superior physiques and absolute leadership over Omegas, occupying the best resources in society. Omegas were mostly fragile and easily influenced by Alpha pheromones, regarded as the ultimate birth-givers.

The number of Alphas and Omegas was small, and their physiological structures caused them to be tethered by each other’s pheromones; during their heat or rut cycles, they became little more than courting beasts. Betas were the most numerous, unaffected by pheromones, and sat at the base of the social pyramid as the working class.

Qin Yuan was a rare S-rank Alpha with powerful mental strength. He had been sent to the military district for high-intensity training since childhood; his family intended for him to be the next General.

The Protagonist Shou (Bottom), Shen Yiqing, was an S-rank Omega with an 80% compatibility rating with Qin Yuan. Both the Qin and Shen families were famous aristocratic households in the Federation, naturally intending to arrange a marriage between the two.

If they had fallen in love from the start, there would be no room for a villain. Thus, in the plot, Shen Yiqing was no ordinary Omega. He was exceptionally talented, secretly a famous mech master, and rebellious, he refused to be controlled by an Alpha and was determined to ruin the engagement.

That was where Li Rangnian came in. Despite being an A-rank Alpha, his mental strength was pitifully low, and his physical fitness was atrocious. He was so delicate that he was constantly looked down upon by his peers.

Plagued by innate defects, he envied Qin Yuan’s brilliance. He entered the same academy as Qin Yuan due to his expertise in pharmacology, but seeing Qin Yuan shine again provoked him. He then intentionally approached Shen Yiqing, tricking the young master into giving him his heart while constantly slandering Qin Yuan.

However, due to the attraction between the protagonists, they gradually developed feelings during various missions. Meanwhile, to get rid of Qin Yuan, Li Rangnian secretly lured “Evolvers” (hostile species) during a survival training exercise, resulting in heavy casualties among the students.

In the end, the villain was exposed, the Protagonist Shou realized the truth, and the protagonists ended up together. The two families joined forces to repel the invasion and made history.

051 turned into a small ball of light, landing on the beauty’s shoulder and affectionately rubbing against his pale neck.

(Heehee, to ensure the Host’s convenience, the system deployed your actual body into the world in advance. Host, you must be careful!)

“Thank you, System.” Li Rangnian’s eyes curved into crescents. So, his own body had been here for a while, no wonder it felt so weak. Then, a thought worried him. “Wait, where did the soul that was living in this body go?”

(Don’t worry, Host~ there was no other soul. I set up a program to let the body run automatically!)

“That’s good…” He breathed a sigh of relief. He couldn’t stand the thought of someone else occupying his body.

To the side, the Alpha had been looking down at the beauty for a long time. His gaze was almost tangible, as if it were licking across Li Rangnian’s skin.

The person was daydreaming. Qin Yuan observed his defenseless, relaxed posture and his gorgeous face, which looked like a crushed peach blossom. Beyond beauty, there was only a sense of decadence.

Qin Yuan had long heard of Li Rangnian, an Alpha who was weaker than an Omega, but possessed a stunning face. His friends had often sighed: “If only he were an Omega, I’d definitely marry him and dote on him, but unfortunately…”

Unfortunately, what?

In the face of absolute rank, the secondary gender was trivial. S-rank compared to A-rank was a chasm that no one could cross.

To Qin Yuan, Li Rangnian was a prey within reach, regardless of gender.
