Transmigrated into a Scummy Alpha, Marked Intentionally by a Gentle Omega - Chapter 1

“Miss! Miss!”

“Call the doctor quickly! Miss is having another pheromone imbalance!”

Accompanied by waves of dizziness and an overwhelming nausea in her throat, Xie Shimian gradually opened her eyes.

Her entire body ached as if it had been crushed by a truck.

Clutching her head, she grabbed a glass of cold water beside her and gulped it down in one go. “Tsk, why does this water have no taste?”

The last thing she remembered was drinking with friends the night before, getting so drunk she blacked out, hugging the toilet while vomiting, the lingering stench of alcohol on her unbearable.

As the cold water settled in her stomach, her rationality slowly returned.

Before her eyes was an ornate chandelier hanging high from the ceiling, and standing in front of her were over a dozen beautiful maids dressed in servant uniforms. At the forefront was a doctor in a white coat.

The buttons on their clothes were all gold-plated.

It looked like something straight out of a medieval European noble castle.

And yet, she was seated right in the center on a plush chair.

Xie Shimian flexed her fingers and brushed off her clothes, there wasn’t a trace of alcohol on her.

In the mirror, the young woman staring back at her was nearly identical to her original self, wrapped in a dark red nightgown that made her already fair skin gleam like white agate.

Xie Shimian pressed her temples.

Had she finally drunk herself to death?

As she was lost in thought, the doctor in front of her expertly injected a pheromone stabilizer into her arm.

Xie Shimian looked up at the meticulous doctor and muttered hazily, “You,  why are you so practiced at this?”

The doctor’s gaze flickered slightly. “Miss?”

Xie Shimian pressed her temples again, observing the reactions of those around her, and realized she had just asked a very foolish question.

“I’m feeling a bit dizzy…”

The doctor: “…”

He immediately turned to the others and said, “Run a basic cognitive assessment on your Miss.”

Xie Shimian thought to herself, You don’t have to phrase ‘check if she’s an idiot’ so elegantly.

She shook her head softly and declined, then turned to survey her surroundings. In the air, she caught faint traces of a scent that didn’t belong to incense.

Subtly, she flipped through the documents on the table, the signature at the bottom read: Xie Shimian.

Her fingers skimmed the covers of the files: “Appointment List for the Imperial Supreme Court Justices,” “Planet 9672 Hit by Storm,” “Overview of Charitable Institutions in Star Calendar 2034.”

The people around her cautiously addressed her, “As an Alpha, Miss, you should find an Omega soon to balance your pheromones. Relying on long-term medication isn’t a solution…”

Xie Shimian nearly choked.

Her body swayed like a willow branch in the wind.

If it looked like transmigration, sounded like transmigration, then it was transmigration.

She had transmigrated into a cannon-fodder side character who shared her name.

The whole transmigration thing was bizarre enough that she instinctively ignored the mention of Alpha and Omega.

She never read novels and had no idea what ABO was.

Xie Shimian recalled that while drinking with her friend the night before, her friend had been listening to an audiobook on her phone.

An AI voice, flat and emotionless, narrated: “Imperial Passion, The Beautiful Omega’s Escape with a Secret.”

At the time, she had only caught a snippet and mercilessly mocked her friend’s taste.

Now, the joke was on her.

The private doctor nervously assessed Xie Shimian’s mental state and prescribed a few more medications.

Xie Shimian coughed dryly. “My brain is fine.”

No one around her seemed convinced.

The doctor and the butler glanced at the virtual clock. “In five minutes, the Master and Madam will return. Please prepare yourself.”

The housekeeper followed behind her and said, “Madam and the master just returned from Planet 9672. It had just weathered a storm, with many buildings destroyed and refugees gathering. The master and madam went there for charity work to distribute supplies.”

Planet 9672 was known as the Wasteland Star, a remote and backward frontier of the empire’s territory.

Xie Shimian recalled the original plot, and her heart inexplicably skipped a few beats.

The aircraft landed at the entrance of the estate on the floating island. Xie Shimian’s parents looked gentle and kind, with few traces of time left on their faces. Upon seeing Xie Shimian, they opened their arms and embraced her tightly.

Xie Shimian’s biological parents had left when she was very young, and it had been a long time since she had received a hug from family.

“Mom, Dad.”

As their cheeks touched, Xie Shimian suddenly caught a faint, peculiar scent.

It didn’t smell like perfume but rather something deeper, as if it touched the soul.

She didn’t yet know that this was called pheromones.

After the usual greetings, her father spread open a dossier in front of her.

“Your mother and I encountered an orphan on the Wasteland Star. She’s just seventeen, not yet reached her differentiation period. We plan to adopt her.”

In other words, the little orphan could later become Xie Shimian’s assistant or a kept lover for the family.

Adopting an orphan from the Wasteland Star was both an act of kindness and a way to promote the Xie family’s philanthropic reputation.

Charity was crucial for old families deeply rooted in the empire for many years.

The Xie family was the empire’s largest manufacturer of communicators and an old aristocratic lineage.

Her father was the chairman and also had unclear ties to the imperial court.

Xie Shimian never dreamed that in her previous life, she was enslaved by capitalists, and in this life, she had transmigrated into the capitalist herself.

Heaven has eyes, amen.

Xie Shimian’s heart skipped a beat as she flipped to the first page.

There, she saw the photo of the future ultimate villainess…

The woman who, in the novel, could kill with every ten steps and bathed the empire in blood, was now just a small, short, and frail little beauty.

The little orphan’s features still carried childish innocence, her clear, bright eyes filled with sorrow and helplessness as she gazed nervously at the camera.

Like a beautiful stray cat.

She perfectly aligned with Xie Shimian’s aesthetic preferences.

In the original plot, Xie Shimian kept her around as a little study companion, subjecting her to no small amount of humiliation even going so far as to sleep with other women in front of her…

In the end, the little orphan slaughtered Xie Shimian and the entire Xie family, leaving them without a place to be buried.

Xie Shimian firmly objected, “I don’t think it’s appropriate.”

Her mother hadn’t expected her daughter to refuse. “Don’t you like her? The Xie family needs to enhance its influence within the empire right now. The public is wary of us holding too much commercial and political power. We need a harmless mascot to divert their attention.”

Xie Shimian’s gaze was glued to the photo, unable to tear away. “I…”

The little beauty in the photo had dirt on her face, her small cheeks scratched by rubble. Her lips, which should have been rosy, were pale and cracked.

She admitted it, she was just a pervert.

Someone who had never been in love simply couldn’t resist this kind of temptation.

Her parents waited for Xie Shimian to voice her reasons for refusal, only to hear her take a deep breath and say, “I think she’s perfect.”

Rather than letting the future villainess grow wild outside, it was better to keep her right under their noses.

Parents: ?

“Who knows, maybe the little orphan will differentiate into an Omega.”

She heard the word “Omega” again, and she was certain it didn’t mean the watch brand this time.

After her parents left, Xie Shimian took out her communicator and searched the star network for “What is an Omega?”

From that moment on, a whole new world opened before her.

Inside the orphanage.

A small orphan huddled in a corner, surrounded by drafty walls, with only a tube of the lowest-grade nutrient solution in front of her.

Truth be told, the orphanage wasn’t a terrible place, it was just that too many orphans from the wasteland planet had arrived, leaving no space for everyone. Priority was given to Alphas or Omegas for beds. Whether in the Empire or the Federation, Alphas and Omegas were rare treasures, quickly adopted.

The little orphan had yet to present, and the staff had already concluded she must be a useless Beta.

“Hey! Move, who said you could stand in front of the dormitory? Have some self-awareness.”

A stronger girl shoved her aside roughly,

“Don’t think someone like you will ever get adopted. Keep dreaming.”

Inside the dormitory stood two women who looked like wealthy merchants, facing a clean-faced Omega dressed in a pretty little dress.

Stumbling from the push, the orphan’s tattered shoe stepped on a newspaper.

The sewage-soaked paper read: “Duke and Duchess Launch Charity Campaign on Wasteland Planet, Donating Billions in Supplies for Reconstruction.”

The little orphan carefully smoothed the dirty newspaper and held it close, as if it were a treasure.

Her fingers barely dared to touch it, afraid it might crumble.

In one corner of the newspaper was a printed photo of Xie Shimian.

The radiant, stunning woman seemed to belong to another world entirely.

The orphan lowered her gaze, picked up the discarded nutrient solution from the ground, bit it open, and swallowed it.

Before, she couldn’t even get her hands on something as despised as this. If not for the Xie family’s charity efforts, she would have surely died in some forgotten corner.

She didn’t dare recall the inhuman days of being treated as an illegitimate child. Even now, being treated like a servant was a better fate than before.

“The Xie family… Xie Shimian,” the orphan whispered the name. “Such a beautiful name for a benefactor.”

Unlike her, who didn’t even have a proper name.

Back then, the Xie family’s matriarch had deliberately tied the goodwill of their charity to her daughter’s name, and the orphan had remembered it.

She didn’t dare hope for too much, silently retreating to her corner.

She was so cold. She pulled a tattered burlap cloth over herself.

A person deprived of love for too long grows sensitive and parched like someone trapped in darkness, who would throw themselves at the faintest glimmer of light. Such people are starved for affection, obsessive. Perhaps it’s cruel to say, but those who lack love and fixate too deeply aren’t suited for domestication.

Gazing at Xie Shimian’s photo, the little orphan ignored all the notorious rumors about the noblewoman’s reckless behavior.

She was so beautiful.

……

Xie Shimian’s aircraft landed outside the orphanage.

The moment the staff saw the Xie family’s arrival, their faces lit up with sycophantic smiles.

“To what do we owe the honor of your personal visit? If you have any requests, we’d be happy to come to your residence.”

The noblewoman handed a photo to the staff. “Bring her here.”

The child her parents wanted to adopt didn’t even have a proper name.

The staff searched their memory for the face in the photo. “I’ll find her right away. Please, wait in the VIP lounge for a moment.”

Xie Shimian gave a slight nod.

Her hands trembled faintly inside her sleeves.

Having just learned about the ABO dynamics, she couldn’t bring herself to look at this world directly.

When she saw the terms “rut” and “heat,” her entire worldview shattered.

“Are you feeling unwell?” the assistant following her whispered cautiously.

Xie Shimian’s lips twitched slightly. “I’m picking up the shattered pieces of my worldview from the floor.”

Assistant: ?

The little orphan girl she had taken in would later present as an Omega. And in the original storyline, she, the original owner of this body had actually  before the child even presented…

How could the original owner, that scum, have done such a thing to someone so young?

A short while later, the person in charge brought in the little orphan, who was as small and delicate as a kitten.

Pushing the child forward, the woman asked, “Is this the one you’re looking for?”

The frail girl lost her balance, stumbling and nearly falling onto the hard steps. She squeezed her eyes shut in fear, but the expected pain never came, a hand steadied her instead.

The Alpha in front of her exuded a faint scent of fruity rum. Their faces were so close they were almost touching.

Thump-thump…

The patch of skin where Xie Shimian had touched burned hot. The girl stared blankly at the woman from the newspapers now standing before her.

Her savior in the flesh.

Xie Shimian’s throat felt dry. The young girl in front of her was as beautiful as a pedigreed long-haired Ragdoll cat. When those peach-blossom eyes fixed intently on her, it was like a kitten begging for food.

“What’s your name?”

The kitten shook her head in a fluster, she didn’t want to use her old name.

Xie Shimian recalled the name of the final boss in the original story, which happened to be the same as the Ragdoll cat she had raised in her past life.

“I’ll adopt you on behalf of the Xie family. Your name will be Hua Zhi, ZhiZhi.”

She looked like a kitten, so why not give her a kitten’s name?

Xie Shimian thought to herself, she truly was despicable. There was no way she’d come to a good end in the future.
