Chapter 1: Since It’s Come to This, Let’s Eat First

“Ugh… my head hurts.”

Wei Qingzhou frowned and opened her eyes.

The curtains weren’t fully drawn. A line of overly bright sunlight slanted in through the gap, bright enough to make her eyes hurt.

Wei took several seconds to recover.

Then she suddenly went still.

‘Wait.’

‘Hadn’t she already died?’

The moment that thought appeared, memories of last night came back.

At two in the morning, she was still working overtime at the company because her boss and the client had last-minute requests. While the project environment was updating, she got up to get water. Suddenly her vision went dark. A sharp pain stabbed through her chest, and then it felt like a hand had reached inside her and clenched her heart.

She grabbed the edge of the desk to steady herself, but even breathing was becoming difficult.

Her last memory was of slowly sinking to her knees on the cold floor tiles.

There were no long deathbed words like in an idol drama.

No life flashed before her eyes, nothing worth holding on to.

Then there was nothing.

‘So what was going on now?’

Wei Qingzhou slowly lowered her hand.

What she saw was a completely unfamiliar bedroom.

Floor-to-ceiling windows, a walk-in closet, a separate living area, dark wood furniture, and several abstract paintings on the wall that she couldn’t understand at all.

The room was absurdly large.

Wei Qingzhou estimated.

At the workstation density of her previous company, this place could fit at least two project teams.

Wei Qingzhou lifted the blanket and looked down at her hands.

Slender, pale, with distinct knuckles.

At first glance, they weren’t too different from her own hands.

But the scar left on the web of her thumb from a childhood fall was gone.

Wei Qingzhou stared for two seconds, then decisively pinched her arm.

It hurt.

It really hurt.

She let go and looked at the skin quickly turning red, falling into thought.

With the merit she’d accumulated in her last life, Heaven shouldn’t have assigned her such a big house.

The next second, the phone on the bedside table suddenly vibrated. Wei Qingzhou turned her head. An unfamiliar phone was lying there.

She picked it up, and the screen lit up automatically.

Facial recognition succeeded.

The moment she saw her reflection in the phone, a very bad feeling rose in Wei Qingzhou’s heart.

She didn’t check the messages first. Instead, she opened the front camera.

A face soon appeared on the screen. Black hair fell messily over her forehead. Her brow bone was distinct, her nose bridge straight. Because she had just woken up, there was still a trace of confusion in her eyes that hadn’t fully faded.

It was her.

At least, it looked like her.

But she was much younger than she had been.

No dark circles from years of staying up late, no haggard look from coffee and takeout, and none of that complexion that came after months of overtime, the kind that looked ready for the emergency room.

Wei Qingzhou raised a hand and touched her face. The person on the screen raised a hand too. She tugged at the corner of her mouth. The other did the same.

Things seemed to be developing in a direction she was very familiar with, and also very absurd.

Just as Wei Qingzhou’s mind was in chaos, several more messages popped up on the phone.

[Young Miss, are you all right?]

[Even when you hit someone, you don’t hit the face. That Shen Shu really went too far.]

[I’ve already found out where she’s having class today. Let’s go teach her a lesson and let her know what happens when you offend the Young Miss.]

Wei Qingzhou’s originally calm expression froze bit by bit when she saw the two characters “Shen Shu.”

She stared at the name.

The next second, a violent stabbing pain exploded from the depths of her mind without warning.

Countless unfamiliar images, sounds, and memories rushed in together.

‘She had transmigrated into a book!!!’

As a veteran reader of many years, Wei Qingzhou finally realized. That name and the memory fragments in her mind all pointed to the ABO novel she had been slacking off and reading these past few days.

She was already too lazy to recall the novel’s title, since the title was as cliché as the content.

After Omega female lead Shen Shu entered the entertainment industry, she met Alpha female lead Shang Luoyan. Shen Shu happened to look somewhat like domineering CEO Shang Luoyan’s white moonlight, so what started as special treatment later turned into real feelings.

Misunderstandings.

Jealousy.

Hero saving the beauty.

Family opposition.

Then a few clueless cannon fodder to push the romance forward.

In the end, the two overcame all obstacles and successfully ended up together.

And Wei Qingzhou was one of those clueless cannon fodder.

The most dedicated one, even.

In the original novel, Wei Qingzhou was the only daughter of the main branch of the Wei family in Shenjing. Her family background and looks were top-tier as well, but because she was a D-rank Alpha, the original host had an extremely nasty personality and was used to using her family background, money, and power to pressure others into getting what she wanted.

And last night, the original host had just returned to Shenjing after finishing three years of study abroad. The Wei family had specially held a welcome banquet for her.

At the banquet, the original host met the female lead Shen Shu for the first time and fell in love at first sight.

Then, under the influence of alcohol, in front of more than half of Shenjing’s elite circle, she directly stopped Shen Shu.

“Miss Shen, marry me.”

“As long as you agree to be with me, the entire Wei family can be yours in the future.”

Shen Shu was clearly frightened by her. She took a step back and refused very clearly.
