Gentle, Reliable, Naïve Yet Domineering Alpha X Cold, Scheming, “Wolf in Sheep’s Clothing” Best Actress Omega
The pampered heiress Cheng Jingling was in a car accident—and woke up inside a novel.
At first, she mistook the story’s scenes for a vivid dream and, smitten with the female lead, tried to flirt her way through. The system promptly forced a restart.
After two painful reboots, Cheng Jingling finally calmed down. She accepted the truth: she had transmigrated into a novel, and the system had given her one mission—make the heroine Ji Yufu happy.
She glanced at the nearly eight-digit balance in her bank card and smirked, wicked and confident. With money, happiness is a piece of cake.
Until the system showed her the original plot—at which point Cheng Jingling trembled in horror, doubting life itself.
She had landed in a melodramatic CEO abuse novel, cast as the scummy Alpha wife. By cheating, neglect, and emotional cruelty, she caused Ji Yufu to miscarry twice, losing the ability to conceive. In the end, the once-abused Ji Yufu rose from the ashes and exacted brutal revenge, leaving Cheng Jingling ruined, family destroyed, and her glands forcibly cut out.
Cheng Jingling: This is way too tragic! Darling, spare me! o(╥﹏╥)o
Even worse—the system revealed the author had “overhauled” the story, turning the original tragedy into a sweet, empowering heroine’s tale. That meant the old plot was useless. From now on, Cheng Jingling would have no guidance, no system assistance, no protagonist’s halo—just pure hell mode.
Wailing in despair, Cheng Jingling cursed the “plotless” novel that left her blind and stumbling. But with no other choice, she steeled herself. To survive, she would cling tightly to Ji Yufu’s thigh, shadow her every step, rack up favorability points, and smooth out every obstacle in her path until the heroine reached the top.
In public, she played the devoted lover: flaunting affection on variety shows, doting on Ji Yufu like the perfect gentle yet overbearing Alpha. In private, she became Ji Yufu’s loyal partner: supporting her career, shielding her from her parasitic family, paying off penalties with her own allowance, even sacrificing her glands to save her life.
With Cheng Jingling’s unwavering support, Ji Yufu soared to the pinnacle of her career, sweeping international awards and becoming the film industry’s brightest star. She reunited with her estranged mother, gained the family she longed for, and lived a life free of regrets, surrounded by quality Alphas.
Meanwhile, Cheng Jingling was recognized nationwide as the model Alpha—topping the “Omega’s Dream Spouse” list for years, transforming from a spoiled, frivolous heiress into the promising successor of her wealthy family.
Cheng Jingling thought the mission was complete. She planned to quietly fade from Ji Yufu’s life. But just as she prepared to slip away, the usually cool, self-possessed Omega’s eyes brimmed with tears. Ji Yufu asked in trembling grievance why Cheng Jingling had never marked her—was it true, as rumors claimed, that she was incapable?
Enraged, Cheng Jingling cursed the shameless gossipers, scooped Ji Yufu into her arms, and carried her to the bedroom to prove them wrong with action.
Later, Cheng Jingling bit the bedsheet and sobbed: Since when can an Omega mark someone? Isn’t this supposed to be sci-fi?!
Ji Yufu’s Perspective
Ji Yufu, the youngest actress ever crowned Best Actress, was beloved nationwide for her flawless beauty and acting. But behind the dazzling spotlight lay a lifetime of pain.
Her parents divorced shortly after her birth. At five, her father brought home a young woman and ordered her to call the stranger “Mom.” Ji Yufu refused—for she knew she had no mother.
Life as a trio was tolerable at first, until her father and stepmother had a son. From then on, Ji Yufu was ignored, abandoned in the shadows while they doted on their new family of three. The longing for love in her heart slowly froze over. To survive, she built an icy shell—no expectations, no disappointment. She grew up in suffocating loneliness until she escaped into the entertainment industry, where for the first time she tasted freedom.
But her family never let her go. With meager salaries, her father and stepmother latched onto her success like leeches. At first, she sent home thousands, then tens of thousands, until their monthly demands rose to 50,000, then 200,000. The more famous she became, the greedier they grew.
Then one day, she was set up—caught in a scandalous hotel tryst with Kyoto’s notorious playgirl heiress, Cheng Jingling. Overnight, she fell from national sweetheart to national disgrace, her career in ruins, ridiculed throughout the industry.
To salvage her career, Ji Yufu was forced into a “romance” with Cheng Jingling, carefully managing a CP image. She thought it would be nothing more than a business transaction. She never expected Cheng Jingling to genuinely, tenderly carve her into her heart.
Cheng Jingling remembered her preferences, cared for her in every detail, yielded first in arguments, offered her the first bite of every meal, shielded her from danger, and used her family’s power to investigate the conspirators who framed her. To cure Ji Yufu’s illness, Cheng Jingling secretly injured her own glands until she collapsed on set.
Their CP caught fire nationwide, amassing countless fans. Ji Yufu regained her throne at the top of the industry, and their fake romance blossomed into reality.
Falling for Cheng Jingling was as natural as breathing.
Everyone said Cheng Jingling was no good. Only Ji Yufu knew she was better than anyone else—warm as the sun, irreplaceable.
If she had one flaw, it was that she was a little dumb—so careless she even got caught trying to run away.
Ji Yufu had no choice but to go on the offensive. If the mountain won’t come to me, then I will go to the mountain.
And if they couldn’t grow old together, she would still fight to leave their love with a perfect ending—no regrets, only memories strong enough to sustain her through any hardship in the years ahead.
The ability to reverse-mark an Alpha was the only cheat Ji Yufu asked of the system.
She was her own savior. On the road to rescuing herself, she was lucky enough to meet Cheng Jingling.
