After Turning into an Omega, I Fell into a Love-Hate Romance with a Top Star - Chapter 2

The stunning beauty was Yu Xingchen, a rival who drove the female lead, Ji Xian, crazy with jealousy later in the novel. A woman who was so perfect that she was almost an ethereal fantasy.

If there was one character in the book who could completely dominate the protagonist and still make people fall head over heels, it was her. The winner of three major film awards, a genius actress, a frequent resident of the Moon Throne, the number one rank on the Starlight Tower, and a top-tier Alpha—Yu Xingchen.

The female lead, who was doted on and admired by countless Alphas, only ever faced a major defeat when it came to Yu Xingchen. No matter how the protagonist tried to seduce her, use her pheromones to tempt her, or even make obvious advances, Yu Xingchen remained completely unfazed.

When a few of the male supporting characters, who were infatuated with the female lead, came looking for trouble, Yu Xingchen simply released a hint of her pheromones. A few self-proclaimed top Alphas immediately fell to their knees in submission. That’s how brutal the rank suppression between Alphas was.

Although Yu Xingchen was a top-tier Alpha with powerful pheromones that could drive any Omega into a frenzy, she was reserved, pure, and aloof. She treated every gender with respect, a rare combination of strength and gentleness.

Even when she was in a standoff with Ji Xian, she relied on her pure talent and acting skills to completely dominate, never resorting to dirty tricks. She was, in many ways, more like a positive protagonist than Ji Xian.

The author dedicated a lot of pages to her beauty, her intelligence, and everything that made her who she was.

Unfortunately, she wasn’t the main character. No matter how beautiful or powerful she was, a tragic fate awaited her. As a top-tier Alpha at the pinnacle of the social pyramid, Yu Xingchen had no compatible Omega. During her susceptibility periods, she had to rely on artificial sedatives.

Over time, her body and mind began to break down, forcing her to quietly withdraw from the industry and seek treatment on another planet. With her departure, Ji Xian was left with no real rival.

Besides being beautiful, powerful, and tragic, Yu Xingchen had one more major characteristic: she was obscenely rich! She was practically a Midas, turning everything she invested in into gold. She was generous to her friends and fans.

Lin Luo had no other hobbies besides making money. Yu Xingchen’s financial skills were a complete mystery to her. Maybe if I get to know her, I can ask for some tips. What if she’s generous enough to share her secrets?

“Um, is there anything else I can do for you?” This wasn’t just a beautiful woman; this was a human money-printing machine! Imagining a future where she could lie in bed and count money, Lin Luo couldn’t help but smile blissfully. Her tone became gentle as she spoke to Yu Xingchen. Her striking features, paired with a puppy-like sweet smile, created a strangely unsettling combination.

“Don’t… come any closer!” For the first time, Yu Xingchen was being cornered by a young girl.

Yu Xingchen still felt weak and could only release more defensive pheromones, hoping to drive this person away. According to her calculations, this amount of pheromones should have knocked out anyone, be it an Alpha or an Omega, let alone a Beta who was less sensitive to pheromones.

“Warning, warning! Excessive pheromone levels detected! Excessive pheromone levels detected! Powerful dispersant will be deployed. Please evacuate immediately! Please evacuate immediately!” The surrounding cleaning robots gathered and started blaring an electronic voice.

Lin Luo curiously looked back to see a line of cleaning robots with glowing red eyes, looking like something out of a zombie apocalypse movie. Wow, what a spectacle! Lin Luo thought.

Then, the first row of cleaning robots started smoking, releasing a tear gas-like fog. The strange smell made Lin Luo want to throw up. Just as she was about to run, she remembered the person lying on the ground.

She quickly turned back, intending to carry Yu Xingchen away. Clearing her throat, she said, “Pardon me!” and wrapped one arm under Yu Xingchen’s knees and the other around her waist.

Wow, her legs are so long, and her waist is so thin, Lin Luo thought to herself. She kept a straight face, but her cheeks were flushed, making her look shyly embarrassed.

She tried to lift her, but she didn’t budge. She tried again, and almost fell face-first onto Yu Xingchen’s chest.

I miscalculated. This body was only 19 years old and lacked her innate strength. No matter how thin Yu Xingchen was, she was still an Alpha, and her height alone was a factor. Carrying her was a no-go, so dragging her it was. It wasn’t pretty, but it was a plan.

Yu Xingchen was coughing from the dispersant. After a series of violent coughs, her breathing sounded even more labored, with only a faint rise and fall of her chest.

She can’t die on me now, Lin Luo thought, operating on the principle of saving her personal money-printing machine. She summoned a surge of brute strength and pulled Yu Xingchen into the lift.

Once inside, she was exhausted and sweating. Yu Xingchen was slumped against the lift wall, looking truly unwell.

The dispersant had turned the corners of Yu Xingchen’s eyes red and clouded them with tears. Her head was tilted to the side, and her breathing was weak. Fearing that she was in serious trouble, Lin Luo quickly asked, “Are you okay?”

“The medicine… in my pocket!” Yu Xingchen said with great difficulty.

“Okay! I’ll get it for you!” Lin Luo quickly fumbled for the medicine in her pocket. “Hang in there, you’ll be fine!” She had a feeling if Yu Xingchen died, her own potential fortune would sprout wings and fly away.

In Yu Xingchen’s suit pants pocket was a small box of fast-acting ampoules, a strong inhibitor specifically for an Alpha’s susceptibility period.

Lin Luo was drenched in sweat from the panic. The body of this little cannon fodder was apparently weak, sweating with every little bit of physical exertion. She knew she was sweating, but with her bag and tissues left outside the lift, she had no other choice. She lifted her T-shirt to wipe her forehead.

Yu Xingchen had just taken the medicine when she saw the young Omega opposite her lift her T-shirt to wipe her forehead. Her bra was exposed, and to make matters worse, the whole lift was filled with the scent of her pheromones.

Yu Xingchen closed her eyes, turned her head away, and whispered, “Shameless.” Lin Luo didn’t hear her clearly and leaned in, thinking Yu Xingchen had another request.

Yu Xingchen felt a warm scent rush over her, like a rose blooming in an instant, a dominant sweetness that seemed to declare that this one was unique in the entire galaxy. Is it an Ausjameson Juliet (Rose Juliet)? Even her pheromones are so tempting.

******

For the first time during a susceptibility attack, Yu Xingchen wasn’t just enduring the pain; she was fighting the urge to pounce. A beautiful, fair neck was exposed before her. Tiny beads of sweat created a highlight that made it impossible to ignore.

The rich sweetness enveloped Yu Xingchen, making her fangs throb with a desire to pierce the other’s scent gland and leave a mark.

An unprecedented impulse was pulling at Yu Xingchen’s sanity, while the person in front of her was chattering away, her words blocking out her senses. Shut her up. Tie her up. Lock her up. Don’t let her go anywhere, the Alpha’s primal instincts screamed.

Disgusting desire. Disgusting instinct. She was no different from any other Alpha, just a repulsive body struggling with its desires. Yu Xingchen shook her head, cold sweat trickling down her temple, and smiled bitterly as she grabbed the inhibitor and plunged it into the side of her neck.

The cold inhibitor suppressed the raging desire, bringing with it a familiar pain.

Lin Luo watched in shock as Yu Xingchen picked up the needle and jabbed it into her neck. She winced. That needle looks terrifying! Lin Luo was extremely afraid of pain; even a small cut on her hand hurt. So this is how Alphas solve it every time. Good thing I’m a Beta.

“Should I call your manager? Tell him to come get you,” Lin Luo suggested, seeing how much pain she was in.

Yu Xingchen nodded and slowly pulled out her phone. There were several missed calls from her manager, He Zhao.

She had come to Shengshi Entertainment with He Zhao today to pick some trainees. They had argued about their differing opinions, and Yu Xingchen had decided to go back to the car first. As soon as she got on the lift, she started feeling unwell.

The susceptibility period, combined with a strong pheromone reaction, caused her unbearable pain, almost making her faint. That was when she ran into the lost Lin Luo.

Yu Xingchen dialed the number. He Zhao was frantic. Yu Xingchen told him to come to the lift on the B1 level of Building A to pick her up.

He Zhao heard the strange tone in her voice and immediately asked, “What’s wrong? Is it happening again?”

“Yeah,” Yu Xingchen said, looking at the person in front of her. “Also, go up to the 12th floor first. There should be a tattered suitcase by the lift. Bring it down with you.”

“Tattered suitcase? Whose is it? Never mind! Wait for me. Don’t move. I don’t know who leaked the news, but a bunch of paparazzi showed up,” He Zhao said hurriedly as he walked.

“Okay, I’m hanging up,” Yu Xingchen pressed the end call button and looked at the person opposite her. She weighed her words carefully before saying, “You better rein in your pheromones. We will never be a thing. No matter what your intentions are, it’s never going to happen!”

Lin Luo was stunned, then annoyed. “I don’t have any intentions. I’m a…” Before she could say the word “Beta,”

Yu Xingchen immediately cut in, “Good thing you don’t!”

She had seen too many Omegas who wanted to rise to the top with their pheromones. Although Lin Luo was the only one who had ever elicited a reaction from her, it didn’t mean anything.

Lin Luo couldn’t be bothered to explain. She didn’t need to justify herself to a fictional character. She had actually liked the character of Yu Xingchen in the book—beautiful, powerful, tragic, and rich. Who wouldn’t like that? But this woman’s temper was just too strange.

They stood in silence. Not long after, a quick succession of footsteps echoed in the hallway. Yu Xingchen’s manager, He Zhao, had arrived. He carried Lin Luo’s tattered suitcase in one hand and his phone in the other.

He was slightly taken aback when he saw Yu Xingchen and Lin Luo together. He then said, “You’re Lin Luo from Cookies? What are you doing here?”

Lin Luo hadn’t expected He Zhao to recognize her, but she didn’t realize how easy it was to identify her with her striking platinum blonde hair and distinct facial features.

“I was just passing by! If she’s okay, I’ll be going now,” Lin Luo just wanted to find a quiet place to figure out her next steps.

“Wait a minute! I need your help with something!” He Zhao confirmed that Yu Xingchen was fine, and now his only problem was how to get past the paparazzi outside.

“I’m busy! It’s not convenient,” Lin Luo didn’t even want to deal with the money-printing machine herself, let alone her manager.

He Zhao chuckled. This girl is interesting. Her personality suited him. He took out a business card from his wallet. “Help me out, and I’ll help you with something within my power.”

In the book, He Zhao was Yu Xingchen’s right-hand man. As a manager, he was flawless, extremely capable, and fiercely protective of his artist. He was a loyal and righteous person.

Lin Luo thought that he might be useful to her in the future, so she took the business card and asked, “Okay, what’s the deal?”

He Zhao smiled. His own looks could rival many male artists. He adjusted his gold-rimmed glasses and said, “There are a lot of paparazzi outside. Can you help me create a diversion?”

“Sure, I’ll go block the reporters,” Lin Luo didn’t think it was a difficult task. After all, she was a big star whom reporters chased everywhere.

He Zhao nodded. “Thanks. Try to stall them for as long as you can. We’ll leave through the back door. Add me on a contact method, and let me know when you’re done.”

Lin Luo was about to pull out her phone when He Zhao lightly touched her left hand with his. A watch-like device on his wrist beeped and a glowing screen popped up with a friend request. Wow, so advanced! Lin Luo’s eyes lit up. As a hardcore gamer, she was thrilled that the electronics in this world were so advanced. She was starting to fall in love with this place.
