Everyone Loves the Alpha, But He’s Not Interested [Transmigration] - Chapter 40
LovesMath_Bai Piaopiao:
Hello everyone. My name is Bai Piaopiao. I am the younger daughter of Bai Qinian, CEO of Qirui Entertainment. I am sixteen years old, and I have an older sister named Bai Lianlian, who is five years older than me.
I’m writing this post today to apologize to all the fans of “Bai Piaopiao.”
I’m sorry.
I am the real Bai Piaopiao. I’m sixteen and have not yet presented. The “Bai Piaopiao” with millions of fans who debuted through a talent show with her singing and dancing is actually my sister, Bai Lianlian, who differentiated into an Omega three years ago.
My sister and I look about ninety percent alike. Many people have said we don’t look like siblings — we look like twins.
Six months ago, my father planned to have my sister join a talent show. Before the competition, he came to me and asked if I would let my sister use my identity. He told me that an undifferentiated girl could attract fans across all six gender classifications and would have an advantage over other contestants.
He promised that if I agreed, he would let me go study abroad in the Free Nation and stop interfering in my life. Tired of his constant control, I agreed without giving it much thought.
What happened next, I believe many of you already know. My sister used my name to enter the talent show. She won first place and debuted successfully. She was even labeled a “six-gender idol” with ease.
To me, that was already a huge success. I thought that if she kept working hard and developed a strong portfolio, she would carve out her own space in the entertainment industry.
But under our father’s influence, my sister grew increasingly jealous of Yu Qingxue.
And then yesterday happened.
The “Miss Bai” in yesterday’s police report is my sister — Bai Lianlian — who debuted under my name as “Bai Piaopiao.”
Once again, I sincerely apologize to all the fans of “Bai Piaopiao.” My father and sister will face the consequences they deserve.

Not long after Bai Piaopiao posted her message, some users searching her name stumbled upon her Weibo and read the post.
They scoffed.
“Come on, at least make your story believable. Are you one of Yu Qingxue’s fans? What’s the point of slandering Piaopiao like this?”
“Attention-seeking loser. Kicking someone while they’re down — pathetic.”
“You even dared to name your account ‘Bai Piaopiao’? Who do you think you are?”
Apparently, someone shared her post in a fan group, and more and more “Bai Piaopiao” fans came to insult and mock her.
“Am I the only one who thinks this sounds a little… real? Did no one notice? This account is verified!”
“What if she’s telling the truth? That’s all I could think about after reading it.”
“If it’s true, this is horrifying. What kind of father and sister would do something like this? Treating fans like pawns to satisfy their jealousy? Completely unforgivable.”
“You guys are getting too emotional. Obviously fake. Let’s not fall for it.”
Over ten minutes after posting, Bai Piaopiao suddenly realized she had forgotten to inform Yu Qingxue.
After sending a quick message to her, she glanced back at her Weibo and was shocked to see over five hundred comments already piling up.
She hesitated for a moment, then opened the comment section. Instead of getting angry at the harsh words, she began replying to each one seriously.
“This is not a made-up story.”
“I’m not attacking anyone. My father and sister made a mistake. I can’t undo it. All I can do is apologize here. I’m sorry.”
“My real name is Bai Piaopiao. [ID verification attached]”
While Bai Piaopiao was replying to comments, Yu Qingxue saw her message and opened the Weibo post. She reposted it with a comment.
Yu Qingxue:
I remember holding you when you were just a month old. Don’t let what your father and sister did affect you. Study hard in the Free Nation and become the mathematician you dream of being. You’ve got this, Piaopiao.

After Yu Qingxue reposted it, Bai Piaopiao’s fans were stunned.
“Wait… What does this mean? Are you saying she’s telling the truth???”
“Holy—this is insane. The fans kept demanding proof and now they got it. You didn’t even know the name of the person you were supporting. I actually feel bad for you.”
“This is the plot twist of the year. The sister used the younger sibling’s identity to debut, gain millions of fans, and build a whole career. I can’t decide if this is genius or twisted.”
Five minutes later, the hashtag #BaiLianlianPretendedToBeBaiPiaopiao skyrocketed to number one on Weibo’s trending list. The word “explosive” next to it glowed a dark red, and stunned onlookers expressed sympathy for Bai Piaopiao’s fans.
Ten minutes later, “Bai Piaopiao” fans collectively announced they were unfollowing and withdrawing their support.
Half an hour later, the Beihai City Police released their investigative findings, confirming that the real identity of the “six-gender idol Bai Piaopiao” was in fact Bai Lianlian.
The entire entertainment industry was in shock. The public had never seen a scandal like this. Gossip lovers everywhere were glued to their screens, eagerly refreshing for more.
As the internet buzzed with disbelief, the official Weibo account of the Beihai City Police released another public report.

The case is still under investigation.

“That ‘Bai’ must be Bai Qinian, Bai Lianlian’s father. This father and daughter pair are seriously ruthless. One destroyed Wei Nian’s face, the other tried to take her life.”
“Horrifying. So rich people really do whatever they want. But no matter how powerful they are, they still can’t escape justice. I feel so bad for Bai Piaopiao — with a father and sister like that, her life must have been a nightmare.”
“Just when I think the drama is finally over, Weibo reminds me how naive I am. Gossip has no end!”
Wei Nian still needed another four or five days of rest to recover from her injuries, so all of her scenes were postponed.
To keep the production on schedule, Ning Xi and Yu Qingxue’s scenes had to be shot intensively.
Originally, they only needed to film one or two scenes a day, but now they were shooting three to four daily.
Tonight’s shoot started at 9 p.m. and would continue until two or three in the morning. Since the next day’s shoot began at 8 a.m., they had to arrive by 6:30 to get into makeup.
Ning Xi looked at the updated schedule Ren Rong sent her and noticed that from now on, she and Yu Qingxue would be working like this nearly every day, with no less than ten hours of work and late nights becoming the norm.
That afternoon, the two of them arrived on set two hours early. The crew was already setting up the scene step by step. While the makeup artist hadn’t arrived yet, Jiang Yuanxin stepped into the dressing room to speak with them.
“I’ve found the mole. It was an extra who took two thousand yuan from Bai Lianlian to secretly take photos for her. I’ve already kicked him off the crew and notified Director Fang at the Actors’ Guild. They’ve removed him from the registry. People like that, with no ethics, don’t deserve to be called actors.”
“I originally arranged your shooting schedule very well, no more than five hours of work per day. But now it’s all been thrown into chaos by Bai Lianlian. She really leaves a mess wherever she goes. The director of the production next door was complaining to me earlier. They had almost finished filming all her scenes, but now with this incident, they’ll have to find someone new and reshoot everything to pass inspection.”
The comparison made Jiang Yuanxin feel slightly better.
Yu Qingxue reassured him.
“Don’t worry. Ning Xi and I can handle it.”
Ning Xi added,
“Director Jiang, I’ll try to get every scene in one take. That should save a lot of time.”
Jiang Yuanxin lifted himself onto the edge of the makeup table.
“I have full confidence in both of your acting. But you only have a few solo scenes. What I’m really worried about is the others not being able to keep up with your level.”
“Alright, enough chatting. Get yourselves ready. I’m going to check how the set is coming along.”
After he left, Ning Xi turned her head and smiled at Yu Qingxue.
“I’ll try not to drag you down, President Yu.”
Yu Qingxue gave her a lazy glance.
“Try? That doesn’t sound very confident.”
“There’s a difference between being humble and lacking confidence. President Yu, how about a bet?”
