Everyone Loves the Alpha, But He’s Not Interested [Transmigration] - Chapter 61
Wang Xiaofang took a photo of Ning Xi in the morning and immediately posted it on Weibo.
“Fangfang Loves Zhuoyan”: While waiting for Brother Zhuoyan, I accidentally captured an unbelievably beautiful woman. She is so stunning I almost cried. [Image] [Image] (These are raw photos. No editing at all!)
Among Lin Zhuoyan’s fans, Wang Xiaofang was one of the more well-known ones. She had both the time and money to follow him around and had taken many stunning unedited photos of him. Many of Lin Zhuoyan’s fans followed her account just for those pictures.
As soon as Ning Xi’s photo was posted, other fans who had turned on special notifications for her rushed in, ready to admire another photo of Zhuoyan.
But when they saw the picture, they were completely stunned.
The person in the photo was not their beloved Zhuoyan at all.
Even more shocking, based on her appearance, presence, and height, the person in the picture did not seem to be an Omega. She was clearly an Alpha.
For nearly five minutes, Wang Xiaofang did not receive a single comment or repost.
She muttered to herself, “So there really is a wall between Omegas and Alphas. No one seems to appreciate a beautiful Alpha.”
Just as she was about to exit Weibo in disappointment, she noticed that the number on her message icon suddenly jumped to 99 plus.
Surprised and excited, she tried to open it, but there were too many notifications, and her phone froze.
Fortunately, she had a backup phone. She opened the Weibo post from there and saw that the comment count had already passed two thousand.
Wang Xiaofang was truly shocked. She had not hired any bots, which meant all the comments were from real people.
And it had only been ten minutes since she posted the photo.
She whispered, “Looks like beauty really does rule the world. Everyone loves someone beautiful.”
Wang Xiaofang had no idea who the woman she photographed was. She usually only followed idol groups and reality shows. An actress like Ning Xi, who had no major works and had only briefly trended online, would be a stranger to someone who rarely paid attention to trending news.
She refreshed the page. The comment count had already reached three thousand and was still rising quickly.
“This is crazy,” she said, then tapped into the comment section to see if anyone recognized the person in the photo.
One comment read,
“I cannot believe there is such a gorgeous Alpha in the world. I need all her information in three minutes.”
Another said,
“Fangfang, how could you take photos of someone other than our dear Zhuoyan? Especially someone this beautiful. Wait, sorry, she is an Alpha? In that case, never mind. A stunning Alpha who will not compete with our boy for roles is my favorite. Thank you, Fangfang.”
As she continued scrolling, Wang Xiaofang finally found a comment that revealed the woman’s identity.
“I know who that is. Do you all remember the trending topic from a few days ago? The drama crew from Ask the Demon. Her makeup is a bit heavy here, but I am sure she is the female lead of Ask the Demon. It is Ning Xi. @NingXi”
Another comment said,
“So it was Ning Xi. I am shocked.”
And another said,
“It really is Ning Xi, the legendary stunning Alpha. She already looks amazing without makeup. I did not expect her to look this good even with this dramatic makeup. I am going to faint.”
Just then, Wang Xiaofang’s frozen phone started working again.
She immediately found the comment that tagged @NingXi and clicked on it. Ning Xi had only one post, promoting Ask the Demon. Her profile was verified as the lead actress of the show.
Wang Xiaofang could not resist the urge. She tapped the follow button and even set Ning Xi as a special follow.

Lin Zhuoyan cared deeply about his popularity. The director also encouraged him to help promote the show. After finishing each scene, he would stroll around the set’s edge so that fans who came to visit could take pictures of him and post them online.
Today was no exception.
Lin Zhuoyan’s creamy skin could not handle the harsh autumn sunlight, so he held a cute blue lace umbrella and walked slowly and carefully to the outer area of the set.
On the surface, it looked like he was just taking a casual walk after filming. But in truth, he wanted to look his best in fan photos. He practiced his poses in front of a mirror every day, hoping fans would capture his best angles.
He walked very slowly to make sure no one would get a blurry picture.
After walking a full round, Lin Zhuoyan returned to his trailer. His assistant quickly came over to take the umbrella, waited until he had stepped inside, then carefully folded it and put it away.
Lin Zhuoyan sat down and massaged his sore legs. He looked at his assistant and said, “Give me my phone. I want to check Weibo.”
The assistant quickly retrieved the phone from the safe and handed it to him. He smiled and flattered him, saying, “Your fans are probably screaming again about how good you look.”
Lin Zhuoyan smiled proudly. His soft pink lips curled slightly against his smooth skin. “They are so sweet and loyal. They only love me. They don’t even pay attention to other stars.”
Just like always, he opened Weibo and searched for the account named “Fangfang Loves Zhuoyan.”
This fan followed him everywhere. Her photos were always the best. Most importantly, she only followed one person on Weibo, and that was him.
To someone like Lin Zhuoyan, who had always been possessive since childhood, this meant a lot.
Although he had never contacted her privately, he already considered her one of his own.
He tapped into her profile, ready to enjoy seeing the number “1” under her following list. But to his shock, the number had become “2.”
His lips pressed tightly together. His expression turned serious.
He could not believe it. His most devoted fan had followed someone else. He was no longer the only person she paid attention to.
The assistant waited beside him, expecting Zhuoyan to share some beautiful new photos. But instead, Zhuoyan’s face suddenly darkened as he scrolled through Weibo.
“Zhuoyan, what is wrong? Are haters attacking you online?”
Even the most flawless celebrities had haters. Some genuinely disliked them, while others were hired by rival artists.
Lin Zhuoyan stared at the number two as if it had betrayed him.
He could not believe his fan had been taken.
He was filled with displeasure as he clicked into Fangfang’s following list to see who dared to take his fan away.

That evening, Ning Xi had no scenes to shoot. But she did not return to the hotel early. Instead, she stayed on set to wait for Yu Qingxue to finish filming so they could leave together.
She asked Ren Rong to buy Yu Qingxue’s favorite milk tea and found a quiet spot where she could clearly see the filming area. She brought a plastic stool and sat down.
Yu Qingxue was talking with director Jiang Yuanxin about the blocking for the next scene.
As Jiang Yuanxin spoke, he noticed out of the corner of his eye that Ning Xi was quietly watching Yu Qingxue from a distance. He couldn’t help but chuckle mischievously.
“Your little one is really clingy. She doesn’t leave after filming and insists on waiting for you. And not just that, she even stares at you when you’re not looking.”
Yu Qingxue had already noticed Ning Xi. Hearing this, she smiled softly, her light-colored eyes gleaming with joy.
Jiang Yuanxin sighed, “I finally understand why you like her. That kind of intense, clingy attention is hard to resist.”
Yu Qingxue didn’t look back at Ning Xi. She tilted her chin up proudly.
“Ning Xi isn’t clingy in general. She’s only like that with me. If it were anyone else, she wouldn’t act this way.”
Jiang Yuanxin replied, “Fine, fine. I really should’ve known better than to bring this up and ask for a dose of your relationship sugar.”
After their chat, Yu Qingxue turned and walked toward Wang You and Wei Nian, who were standing nearby.
The two of them were still acting distant and aloof on set, strictly sticking to their character roles. They were terrified of slipping up in front of Ning Xi.
Using the excuse of rehearsing a scene, Yu Qingxue pulled them aside to the farthest corner away from Ning Xi, not wanting her to overhear anything.
Wang You, being her childhood friend, immediately sensed something was up.
“Just say it. What do you need us to do next?”
Yu Qingxue smiled. “I knew you’d catch on. I hadn’t even explained yet and you already figured it out.”
Wei Nian added quickly, “President Yu, we’ll act however you want us to.”
Yu Qingxue patted Wei Nian on the shoulder. “Thank you. I heard that when you acted with Ning Xi last time, she almost made you cry. I owe you for that.”
Wei Nian replied, “It wasn’t her fault. Ning Xi’s acting is just too good. I was overwhelmed. She wasn’t trying to target me.”
Hearing that, Yu Qingxue looked at Wei Nian with new appreciation. She had been pushed that hard yet still defended Ning Xi. That kind of grace wasn’t common.
Yu Qingxue quietly glanced at Wang You.
Wang You instinctively stepped back. “Don’t you dare try to manipulate me.”
Yu Qingxue blinked innocently. “When have I ever manipulated you?”
Wang You didn’t hesitate. “Maybe you haven’t in the past, but that doesn’t mean you won’t in the future. The look in your eyes just now was exactly the same as when you scheme against other people.”
Yu Qingxue stayed silent.
Instead, she smoothly changed the topic. “You two can drop the cold war act now. The next scenes are about reconciliation. And not just that, after you make up, you need to act sweet and affectionate again. Especially when Ning Xi is around.”
Wang You asked, “Why do we need to make up?”
Yu Qingxue explained, “Originally, I told Ning Xi that I’d break up with you today and move on. But just now, I suddenly realized that I can’t move on. If I do, how will I act vulnerable and ask her for comfort? So this is where you and Wei Nian come in.”
“After we break up, you two quickly get back together. Be close. Do everything together. Act intimate in front of me to provoke me. That way I’ll realize I can’t let go. But what I can’t let go of isn’t you. It’s the emotional damage you caused me.”
“Then, when I go to Ning Xi for comfort, everything will flow naturally.”
Wang You was speechless.
Wei Nian was also stunned.
Why was this fake romance getting so complicated?
Wang You asked, “Do we have a script this time? If we suddenly make up, there has to be a reason. Last time Wei Nian and I were practically biting each other. Anyone with a shred of self-respect wouldn’t make up after that.”
Yu Qingxue said, “The script is not a problem. I’ll write one for you tonight.”
Wang You sighed. “Actually, we don’t need a script.”
She immediately regretted saying that. Why did she just give herself more work?
Yu Qingxue insisted, “No, I already have inspiration. For the sake of consistency, we must have a script.”
Wang You and Wei Nian exchanged a miserable glance, both feeling tricked.
Yu Qingxue clearly never planned to write a full script. She could have made up a random excuse for their reconciliation. Ning Xi wasn’t the type to ask too many questions anyway.
Ning Xi waited until after 10 p.m. for Yu Qingxue to finish filming.
On the way back to the hotel, Yu Qingxue looked out the window at the streetlights and said quietly, “I’ve already told Wang You that I want to break up. She agreed.” Her pale eyes held a touch of sadness.
“I was just thinking. We’ve been together for ten years. Back then, I never imagined we’d end up like this.”
Ning Xi replied, “Out with the old and in with the new. A heartless girlfriend like her doesn’t deserve you. It’s a good thing you broke up early.”
“You’re right.” Yu Qingxue smiled. “Thank you for comforting me.”
Back at the hotel, Ning Xi asked if she wanted to get a late-night snack. Yu Qingxue said she had no appetite and returned to her room. There, she quickly wrote a ten-thousand-word script and sent it to both Wang You and Wei Nian.
To make communication easier, she created a three-person group chat.
Yu Qingxue: [Script] Memorize this before bed. @WangYou @WeiNian
Wang You: [File received]
Wei Nian: [File received]
One minute later
Wei Nian: [shocked emoji] President Yu, this script is ten thousand words long…
Yu Qingxue: Yes. I wrote it in an hour. Memorizing a script is much easier than writing one.
Wang You: She’s right. @WeiNian, just accept your fate.
Wei Nian: [collapsed emoji] I’ll do my best.
Yu Qingxue: Good luck. I’ll help you both again in the future if needed.
Wang You: Please don’t curse me like that, thanks.
Wei Nian: … 1
