After Failing To Win Over the Yandere Best Actress, I Got Marked - Chapter 1

“Sister, I missed you so much~”

An enchanting voice rang in her ear, sounding like it had hooks in it, tugging at the very strings of her heart.

Su Jin opened her eyes in a daze, that flirtatious “Sister~” still lingering in her mind.

Subconsciously, she reached out. Her fingertips brushed against a patch of delicate, warm skin like high-quality silk, carrying a pulse quickening heat. Looking down, she realized she was holding a woman in her arms.

The woman’s long hair was scattered across Su Jin’s shoulders, the tips grazing her collarbone with a tingling itch that made Su Jin’s entire body tremble.

The woman’s voice was low and hoarse, carrying a hint of a coquettish plea: “Sister, kiss me…”

“Wait, wait a minute.” Su Jin instinctively tried to push her away.

However, she found her hands lacked any strength. The woman’s lips had already pressed forward passionately. Warm breath fanned against her ear like a seductive poison, making it impossible to resist.

“Sister…”

Su Jin’s mind was a chaotic mess. Before she could react, warm fingers moved upward, insistently cupping her face.

It was only then that Su Jin saw the woman’s face clearly. It was a face of breathtaking beauty features like a painting, crimson lips, and eyes filled with a flirtatious smile, as if inviting her to join in a moment of passion.

“You… who are you?” Su Jin looked at the person before her in panic.

The woman let out a soft chuckle. Her finger lightly traced Su Jin’s lips, her tone carrying a hint of “sickly sweet” obsession (yandere): “Sister, you’ve forgotten me again. You deserve a punishment. Remember, I am your wife. My name is… Ye Qinglan.”

Su Jin’s brain went bang, instantly turning blank.

Ye Qinglan?

Wasn’t that the female lead of the girl love (GL) novel she stayed up all night reading?

Why would she dream of Ye Qinglan? And in this… this kind of scenario?

In the moment she was dazed, Ye Qinglan’s lips pressed forward fervently again. Her kiss carried a trace of undeniable dominance, as if she wanted to steal all of Su Jin’s breath and melt into one with her.

“Mmph…”

Su Jin wanted to push her away, but her limbs remained powerless. Ye Qinglan’s fingers felt like they were lighting fires, making her skin burn. Intense pheromones threatened to incinerate the last of her logic…

In that moment of extreme ambiguity, Su Jin snapped her eyes open. The only thing in her ears was the sound of her own ragged breathing.

She froze for several seconds before realizing that everything just now had been a dream.

Just as she was feeling embarrassed by the dream, a voice suddenly rang out in her mind: “Host, you’re finally awake.”

Su Jin jumped, bolting upright. “Who? Who’s talking?”

“I am the System,” the voice continued. “Because you stayed up late reading, you suffered from cerebral hypoxia and fell into a coma. Now, your consciousness is trapped in the world of the book The Cage. You can only leave once you complete your mission.”

Su Jin’s mind was in a whirl, yet she was forced to accept a flood of information.

According to the System, she had transmigrated into this restricted rating GL novel. She had become the “scum Alpha” cannon fodder. The original owner of this body was obsessed with becoming famous. While filming a movie with Ye Qinglan, she used various methods to seduce and harass her to “leech” off her popularity. After being rejected, the original owner took explicit photos of Ye Qinglan and leaked them online, ultimately destroying Ye Qinglan’s reputation and career.

In the end, Ye Qinglan “blackened,” took her revenge, and the original owner ended up in prison with a miserable fate.

After hearing the plot, Su Jin couldn’t help but curse from the bottom of her heart: “What a shameless piece of trash. That character deserves to rot in jail.”

The System reminded her: “Your mission is to follow the Scum Alpha’s plot. Get close to Ye Qinglan and force her to blacken.”

Su Jin couldn’t help but complain: “That’s too cruel! She’s a perfectly fine Omega, why should I ruin her life?”

The System’s voice turned cold: “Ye Qinglan is not a simple Omega. She is the most difficult character in this world. Countless ‘Task-Takers’ before you have fallen at her hands.”

“Huh?” Su Jin was stunned. “What do you mean?”

The System sounded like it was grinding its teeth: “It’s all because of a previous idiot Task-Taker. They had a ‘Saint’ complex and tried to save Ye Qinglan by telling her the truth, even sacrificing their own life. And the result? Now, Ye Qinglan is incredibly wary of anyone who approaches her. Her revenge is… psychopathic.”

Su Jin felt uneasy. She muttered, “Maybe they just couldn’t handle the guilt. Why are you, a system, calling people idiots?”

“I’ll call them whatever I want!” the System snapped angrily. “If it wasn’t for that idiot, I wouldn’t be stuck in this world for so long. You are the eighth Task-Taker I’ve led. Please, have some backbone. Whatever you do, do NOT let her find out you are a Task-Taker.”

Su Jin shivered. “What happens if she finds out?”

The System said gloomily: “The last one accidentally slipped up. Ye Qinglan manipulated things to have them sent to a mental hospital. They were tortured for three months until their spirit broke, the mission failed, and they were thrown into the Void World.”

Hearing “Void World,” Su Jin instinctively shuddered, a bone-deep fear washing over her.

She swallowed hard. “The Void World… what kind of place is it?”

“The Void World is a space of absolute nothingness. No light, no sound, no people. Even time is static. You will experience endless loneliness and despair until your consciousness completely collapses.”

Su Jin’s blood ran cold. “That’s terrifying…”

“Therefore,” the System said chillingly, “you better complete the tasks seriously. Don’t think about resisting or escaping, and definitely don’t let Ye Qinglan discover who you are. Otherwise, the Void World is your destination.”

“No, no, no! I don’t want to go to a place like that!”

Su Jin’s heart tightened. “Then… what should I do?”

Seeing that the intimidation worked, the System’s voice softened slightly: “It’s simple. Follow the tasks I issue. Successful tasks come with rewards. Good luck.”

This is insane! Su Jin cursed the System internally for being a heartless monster. Forcing her to do such immoral things! What did Ye Qinglan ever do to deserve this?

She was gritting her teeth in frustration when her phone suddenly rang. It was her manager, Sister Li.

Su Jin adjusted her emotions and answered.

“Su Jin! Why aren’t you at the venue yet? The press conference is about to start! Do you want the director to kill me?”

Sister Li’s voice was frantic and angry. Su Jin quickly apologized: “Sister Li, there was a traffic jam! I’m almost there!”

“Hurry up! Today is the opening press conference for Behind the Starlight. If you drop the ball today, you’re dead!” Sister Li hung up.

Su Jin sighed, packed up, and rushed to the venue. Along the way, her heart was in her throat worried about the manager’s temper, but even more terrified of the upcoming tasks.

When she arrived at the press conference, the sheer scale of the event startled her. The hall was packed with reporters and fans; camera flashes were going off like lightning.

Before she could catch her breath, Sister Li pulled her aside and hissed: “Su Jin, stay sharp! Especially with Ye Qinglan make sure you stay on her good side. Don’t cause trouble!”

Su Jin thought bitterly: With the persona I have to play, I’m afraid I won’t be on her good side. I’ll be the trouble…

But she nodded obediently. “I got it, Sister Li.”

Suddenly, a commotion broke out at the entrance. All the cameras turned as a black luxury van pulled up. The door opened, and a pair of long, slender legs stepped out.

Ye Qinglan exited the car, instantly becoming the center of the universe.

She was wearing a wine red velvet gown. Her long hair was slightly curled, draped casually over her shoulders. Every movement was elegant, and her features were flawless crimson lips and eyes that looked like a masterpiece. She radiated an aura that said “do not approach.”

Su Jin was dazed. Images from her dream the voice, the warmth, the kiss flashed through her mind. Her face flushed hot, and her heart began to race.

“Host, stop staring. The target has appeared.”

The System’s voice rang in her ear. “Complete your first task: Hug Ye Qinglan and hold it for at least 3 minutes. Ensure the paparazzi capture the ‘intimate’ moment to trend a ‘couple’ rumor and leech off her fame. Reward for completion: 1,000,000 RMB.”

Su Jin: “…”

Wait, what kind of shameless task is this?!
