Redeeming that Beautiful, Strong, and Miserable Omega [Transmigrated into a Book] - Chapter 54

Chapter 54: Destiny

“I found it strange a long time ago.”

The torrential rain soaked Xu Ruozhou completely. Her drenched hair clung to her chest, bringing a cold, damp chill.

Xu Ruozhou spoke to herself. “Why does the plot always materialize in some way?”

“Is it because everything is predetermined?”

Xu Ruozhou sneered, answering her own question. “Of course not. That’s just a method you use to deceive Wen Yan and me.”

“From the beginning, there was only one variable in this world, and that was Wen Yan.”

“…”

“After all, if everything truly was predetermined, why would you personally appear and bind someone closely related to the plot to correct everything?”

The System didn’t speak. Xu Ruozhou’s gaze fell on Xu Mingxin, who looked bewildered.

Xu Ruozhou slowly addressed the void. “If I’m not mistaken, your purpose in binding Xu Mingxin was to provoke me, to make me kill her myself.”

“…”

Xu Mingxin’s eyes widened.

Why do you say that?

Xu Ruozhou’s eyes were extremely cold. “I kept wondering, if you had the ability to send Wen Yan back to her original world, why didn’t you correct all this earlier and let this world return to its so-called proper course, instead of using Xu Mingxin to cause me trouble?”

“You had Xu Mingxin constantly provoke me, even do some useless things, and expose Wen Yan’s identity as a transmigrator at my wedding, instead of sending Wen Yan back to her original world right there.”

“Later, I finally figured it out. Your goal was only one thing: to provoke me, to make me feel that everything was Xu Mingxin’s fault, so that in my anger, I would bring about the original ending of this story.”

“…”

Xu Ruozhou sneered. “Am I right?”

After a long time, the System finally spoke.

“You are very clever.”

The fake daughter, kneeling in the rain, struggled to crawl forward a couple of steps, trying to hug Xu Ruozhou’s leg, but she was ruthlessly avoided.

Helpless, Xu Mingxin could only carefully grab Xu Ruozhou’s trouser leg. She asked in a trembling voice, “Is what you’re saying true?”

“Then what was the original ending?”

Xu Ruozhou looked at Xu Mingxin in silence. She pursed her lips, ultimately choosing not to say it.

“Since you know everything, what do you want to do now?”

“My child.”

“Don’t call me that.”

Xu Ruozhou frowned deeply, seemingly extremely averse to the title. She glanced at the distraught fake daughter, squatted down, picked up the gun from the ground, loaded a bullet, and slowly spoke. “What I want is very simple. I just need you to make a deal with me.”

The dark muzzle of the gun pointed at the fake daughter’s forehead, but Xu Ruozhou’s gaze was fixed on the distant void. “I kill Xu Mingxin, allowing you to complete your mission, and you—”

“Give Wen Yan back to me.”

The surroundings fell into a deadly silence. All that could be heard was the sound of the heavy rain soaking their bodies, like an eternal catastrophe.

After an unknown amount of time, Xu Ruozhou seemed to hear a light laugh. She looked around, confirming no one was laughing, and finally ascertained that the source of the laughter was the System in the void. Xu Ruozhou frowned deeply.

When the System spoke again, its voice carried a hint of amusement.

“Impossible.”

Xu Ruozhou bit her lower lip, instantly gripping the gun tightly. The finger on the trigger trembled slightly. “Why is it impossible?!”

“If you can send Wen Yan back, you can definitely bring her back! Don’t play games. I am not Xu Mingxin. I won’t be fooled by you like she was. If you don’t give Wen Yan back to me, I will absolutely not let the plot proceed to the end as you wish!”

The System sighed.

“Xu Ruozhou, you are smart, but—”

“You are not smart enough.”

“The moment anything related to that transmigrator is involved, you lose your reason.”

“Don’t you understand? The Wen Yan you know doesn’t even belong to the same world as you. You two were never meant to meet.”

“Your encounter was just a beautiful accident. Both you and she are destined to return to your original destinies.”

“Original destiny?” Xu Ruozhou frowned. “What does that mean?”

The System sighed deeply.

“It seems the transmigrator never told you—”

“Your original destiny.”

Xu Ruozhou was about to speak when a flash of white light suddenly passed by, forcing her to cover her eyes.

The colorful world slowly faded, turning into a black and white one.

When she opened her eyes again, Xu Ruozhou stared at her transparent hand, her expression somewhat dazed.

Was she dead?

“Bang—”

A hurried sound of a door crashing open came. Xu Ruozhou instinctively looked in the direction of the sound. The door of the presidential suite fell to the floor. A reporter rushed in, and countless flashlights went off, aimed in the same direction.

Xu Ruozhou frowned slightly, finding the scene somewhat familiar. She looked in the direction of the flashes.

“…”

A person who looked exactly like her was standing there.

What is going on?

The recently marked Omega was disheveled, her legs bare, and bloodstains from a bite were on her scent gland. She looked utterly distraught, but only her reddish-brown eyes held an unyielding hatred.

Xu Ruozhou was stunned. She walked over to the Omega who looked exactly like her and raised her hand, trying to touch her arm, but her fingers passed directly through the other person’s body.

A dream?

She was just confronting the System. How could she suddenly fall into a dream?

And the details of this dream seem slightly different from the reality she experienced.

Her dream self seemed hesitant to speak. A person who looked exactly like Xu’s mother walked over. Her dream self tried to explain several times, but before she could speak, Xu’s mother slapped her dream self across the face.

Xu Ruozhou: …

This is exactly the same as what happened in reality.

Xu’s mother clutched her chest. “I don’t have a daughter as promiscuous as you! What did Mingxin ever do wrong that you would even fight her for her Alpha?!”

Xu’s father looked disappointed. “We know we owed you all these years and tried our best to make amends. We even wanted to arrange the best marriage for you, but look at you! You keep trying to compete with Mingxin. You would even stoop to seeing the Wen family’s useless Alpha just to spite Mingxin! I am truly disappointed in you!”

Xu Ruozhou clicked her tongue.

These sanctimonious couple, they’ve done so many despicable things over the years. How dare they talk about others?

The fake daughter spoke in a sickly sweet voice. “Sister, how could you be so promiscuous? Mom isn’t well. Please stop upsetting her!”

Xu Ruozhou couldn’t help but roll her eyes.

Perhaps because it was a dream, she could only see a small area. Thinking about what happened next, Xu Ruozhou felt a faint sense of anticipation.

If this is a dream, Wen Yan should be here too.

Since Wen Yan left, she hadn’t slept for a long time, let alone seen Wen Yan in a dream.

Sure enough, an Alpha with delicate features quickly walked over to her dream self, entering the area Xu Ruozhou could see.

Seeing this face she had longed for day and night, Xu Ruozhou stood up excitedly, her reddish-brown eyes fixed on “Wen Yan’s” beautiful profile. She instinctively reached out, wanting to grab her wrist. “Wen…”

Her fingers passed through “Wen Yan.” In that instant, she saw “Wen Yan” direct an expression at her dream self that she had never seen before.

Malicious.

Playful.

Smugly triumphant.

“Wen Yan” pointed at her dream self’s nose, a hint of successful glee in her voice. “Uncle and Auntie, Xu Ruozhou drugged me. I wasn’t willing at all. She deliberately drugged me to seduce me. The person I’ve always loved is little sister Mingxin!”

Xu Ruozhou was thunderstruck.

Apart from the very first scene in the hotel, everything that followed was drastically different from her memory.

She watched with her own eyes as her dream self was permanently marked and abandoned by the Alpha, left to face the ridicule of the crowd and the disdain of her family alone. Meanwhile, the fake daughter was gloating, conspiring with “Wen Yan” on how to exploit her for greater gain.

Even though it was a dream, Xu Ruozhou still found it hard to believe until a familiar voice sounded in the void, snapping her out of her daze.

“Did you see it?”

“System?” Xu Ruozhou frowned, looking around. “Where have you brought me?”

“This is the world where the transmigrator did not arrive, and it is also…”

“Your place of destiny.”

“…Destiny?” Xu Ruozhou was startled. She looked at the Omega who looked exactly like her, whose hands were clenched into fists, as she walked alone into the presidential suite’s bathroom, frantically washing her body with cold water.

Meanwhile, Xu’s mother, for the sake of the Xu family’s reputation among the elite, had already negotiated terms with “Wen Yan” and effectively “sold” her off.

Xu Ruozhou bit her lower lip. Before Wen Yan transmigrated, given the appalling nature of the Xu family, they could indeed have sold their daughter for the sake of their reputation.

“Do you want to continue?”

“Of course I want to continue. Otherwise, wouldn’t it be a waste of the show you graciously put on for me?”

Xu Ruozhou’s eyes grew cold. “End it quickly, and then tell me the purpose of letting me know all this.”

“…”

Xu Ruozhou followed the person who looked exactly like her, witnessing everything she was originally destined to experience.

She watched herself during her estrus period, living in a cold, damp basement, suffering so much from the injection of poor-quality suppressants that she couldn’t even make a sound.

She saw “Wen Yan,” who drugged her, constantly humiliating her after their marriage. She was “Wen Yan’s” rightful wife, yet she was treated worse than a servant in the Wen family.

She saw herself barely escaping one abyss only to fall into another trap. She was framed by Yin Rong into buying a toxic piece of land, leading to the deaths of hundreds of people.

Facing exorbitant compensation fees, Yin Rong offered an incredibly tempting condition: if she sold her body, she could resurrect her career.

“As long as you agree to be my mistress, I can help you through this difficult time.”

The beastly Alpha opened his arms to her.

Xu Ruozhou saw the hesitant expression on her dream self, seemingly agonizing over whether to accept.

Don’t, Xu Ruozhou silently pleaded in her heart.

Finally, at the moment her dream self was embraced by Yin Rong, Xu Ruozhou could no longer contain the anger in her heart and said to the System, “You liar! I would never do that!”

The second Xu Ruozhou said those words, her dream self’s expression suddenly changed. The dagger hidden in her sleeve stabbed into Yin Rong’s shoulder.

Xu Ruozhou was stunned.

Her dream self’s expression was extremely cold, and she mocked him, “Yin Rong, you must be dreaming. I finally divorced that useless person. Even if I gouge out my scent gland, I will never submit to you.”

“You—” Yin Rong clutched his bleeding wound, his face turning black. “You just wait. I won’t let you get away with this!”

Xu Ruozhou secretly breathed a sigh of relief. But before she could celebrate, the scene shifted again. She saw herself, dressed in an evening gown, being drugged in a changing room, and Yin Rong taking that opportunity to mark her.

Seeing this, Xu Ruozhou gradually calmed down. If all this had truly happened, she could imagine what she would do next in a world where an Omega cannot harm the Alpha who marked her.

Xu Ruozhou clearly watched her dream self rise from the public controversy and go alone to an underground clinic.

Her dream self was expressionless, but Xu Ruozhou saw the despair in her eyes. Without needing to look further, Xu Ruozhou knew what decision her character would make next—

To exchange true freedom for the removal of her scent gland and the sacrifice of twenty years of her lifespan.

From then on, she would no longer be controlled by pheromones and would begin her revenge against everyone who had ever humiliated her.

Ultimately, she would climb to the pinnacle of power over the bones of these people.

The dream ended. The System watched the final scene of Xu Ruozhou shooting the fake daughter and remarked with emotion.

“That was truly magnificent. It could be described as utterly gratifying.”

“Did you see it? Even without that transmigrator, you would still defeat everyone, everyone who ever humiliated you!”

“Forget the person who made everything so boring. Start anew. Use hatred as your strength, just like before. This way, no matter how many times the world resets, the ultimate victor will always be you.”

In the heavy rain, Lin Xi ran over with an umbrella, holding it over Xu Ruozhou’s head, her voice worried. “Master, why… are you crying?”

Xu Ruozhou lowered her head, staring at her trembling hands.

Lin Xi looked concerned. “Master, are you alright?”

Xu Ruozhou nodded.

Seeing that Xu Ruozhou was fine, Lin Xi finally sighed in relief. “Master, you truly scared me just now. Do you know, your expression was so desperate, as if you had suffered a huge blow. I was ready to take you to the hospital.”

“Is that so?” Xu Ruozhou’s tone was flat. Lin Xi nodded. “It’s a good thing you pulled through on your own.”

Pulled… through on her own?

Xu Ruozhou was slightly stunned. After a moment, she slowly shook her head. “No.”

Lin Xi looked confused.

“It wasn’t on my own.”

It was the gentle deity from another world who dispelled the darkness for her and illuminated the path ahead.
