Chapter 1
Xu Jinnan left the house after taking some cephalosporin, feeling dizzy and weak.
In the blink of an eye, her familiar apartment complex transformed. How could her vision be so blurry?
Through her hazy sight, a torn wedding dress lay discarded on the ground. A woman in a red camisole slumped against a glass door, her exposed skin flushed and alluring, lips slightly parted as she breathed unsteadily.
Each heavy breath intensified the honeyed vanilla scent in the air.
After a series of suppressed sounds, the entire scene was charged with a sensual atmosphere.
Xu Jinnan was still disoriented, not even questioning the strangeness of it all. She just thought, Here’s another scumbag using drugs for their dirty tricks.
“You drugged me…” the woman’s voice was weak and powerless.
“?” Xu Jinnan looked down to meet a pair of phoenix eyes filled with hatred. Subconsciously, she replied, “Drugged you with what…” Her words trailed off as her gaze landed on two intersecting crescent moons tattooed below the woman’s collarbone. She abruptly stopped.
That tattoo—
Xu Jinnan blinked, taking in the woman’s features more clearly. She’d never seen this person or the tattoo before, yet a strange familiarity washed over her, as if it were a vivid memory.
A thought struck her, and Xu Jinnan froze. An unbelievable idea formed in her mind. She pursed her lips and tentatively asked, “Shen… Shu?”
“Shameless… Xu Jinnan, you make me sick!”
The woman finished in one breath, her snow-white arm going limp as her upper body collapsed to the floor.
Xu Jinnan: “…”
It all clicked. She had transmigrated.
This was the world of a lesbian ABO novel called Savage Lover.
In the book, her namesake, the original Xu Jinnan, was an Alpha in appearance but a failed Omega. Though an Omega, she was indifferent to pheromones like a Beta. Pampered by her parents, she grew up twisted and cruel.
The original Xu Jinnan was notorious in their social circle. Whether Alpha or Omega, anyone who caught her eye would be pursued relentlessly, always ending badly.
And the protagonist, Shen Shu, was the renowned, aloof Omega goddess of North City, and the ultimate prey in the original Xu Jinnan’s eyes.
After repeated rejections, the original Xu Jinnan threatened Shen Shu’s adoptive parents with financial ruin, falsely promising to leave Shen Shu alone. To save her family and their company, Shen Shu agreed.
But on their wedding night, the original Xu Jinnan drugged Shen Shu, forcing her into an early heat cycle and subjecting her to horrific humiliation using various objects.
Even worse – she deliberately chose a secluded house for their new home, intending to invite other Alphas to… In the end, Shen Shu’s scent glands were ruptured, leaving her permanently disabled.
…
Xu Jinnan was numb.
Just thinking about the plot made her uncomfortable. She hadn’t even finished the book because of the insane storyline and sharing a name with the villain. She only remembered her friend mentioning the ending – the mentally scarred Shen Shu eventually carved out Xu Jinnan’s scent glands piece by piece, and her adoptive parents also met a tragic end…
She looked at the helpless Omega on the floor, the handcuffs in her palm feeling like ice blades.
“Don’t be afraid, I might be…” Xu Jinnan hesitated, then asked, “How are you feeling?” She hid the handcuffs behind her back and stepped forward to help Shen Shu up.
Xu Jinnan’s hands were beautiful and slender, nicknamed “jade fingers.” It was said that a single touch could make anyone melt. But the moment Shen Shu saw Xu Jinnan’s hands, she recoiled.
“Don’t come near me!”
Xu Jinnan paused. Seeing Shen Shu’s brows furrow in pain, she thought for a moment and said, “Wait, I’ll find you a suppressant.”
Shen Shu glared at her with disgust and contempt, clearly not believing her.
Xu Jinnan didn’t mind. She searched around but found nothing. Then, her eyes lit up when she saw a square red handbag. The original Xu Jinnan, because of her twisted hobbies, had hidden certain things in the bag.
Opening the bag, the contents completely shattered Xu Jinnan’s worldview.
The absurd thing was, she was intimately familiar with every item, including how to use them… She could even picture certain lewd and coercive scenes. Not only that, but she also felt a flicker of instinctive excitement.
Xu Jinnan realized this body still retained some of the original Xu Jinnan’s… particular preferences.
“…”
This was just great.
Pushing aside her thoughts, she pulled out a suppressant.
Normal suppressants came in tablets or sprays, but the original Xu Jinnan preferred things… intense. So, her suppressant was in an injectable form.
This thing had to be injected directly into the scent glands on the back of the neck. Just thinking about it made her wince. This wasn’t just crazy; it was perverted!
Xu Jinnan removed the metal cap from the syringe and crouched down beside Shen Shu, offering it to her. “Can you do it yourself?”
The wonan on the floor didn’t even look at her, biting her lip and digging her nails into her flesh to stay conscious, clearly unwilling to believe another word she said.
Xu Jinnan sighed inwardly. With the original Xu Jinnan’s reputation, she wouldn’t trust her easily either.
But without the suppressant, Shen Shu would either die from the fever or attract a horde of Alphas with her potent Omega pheromones…
Xu Jinnan’s thought process was simple: no matter what, she couldn’t let anything happen to Shen Shu tonight.
“Tell you what, I’ll give myself a shot to show you. If you think it’s okay, you can use it, alright?” She wasn’t lying. After saying this, Xu Jinnan really did inject herself. However, unfamiliar with the procedure, she missed the mark twice on her right scent gland before finally hitting it on the third try.
Even a small amount of the suppressant entering her gland caused a sharp pain that made her break out in a cold sweat. Strangely though, her mind felt even more stimulated than before.
Xu Jinnan attributed it to the original Xu Jinnan’s influence and suppressed her growing restlessness. She offered the suppressant to Shen Shu again.
Shen Shu still didn’t take it.
Just then, a sudden knocking and voices came from outside the door—
“Damn, this scent is incredible! An S-class Omega is something else!”
“Nan-jie, we’re here, open up!”
“Should we just let ourselves in?”
After that, the keypad beeped as the code was entered.
It was the Alphas the original Xu Jinnan had called! Xu Jinnan: …This scumbag even gave them the code!
Shen Shu’s flushed face instantly paled.
The knocking and shouting grew louder. Xu Jinnan’s expression darkened. She scooped up Shen Shu and carried her into the bathroom, kicking the door shut with her high heel and locking it.
In this world, Omegas were naturally suppressed by Alpha pheromones. She was also an Omega here, and even though she was unaffected by pheromones, she would still be suppressed by an Alpha. She might not be able to protect Shen Shu then.
The moment the door closed, the main door unlocked, and two sets of footsteps entered the living room, drawing closer.
Xu Jinnan patted the trembling Shen Shu, whispering “Shhh” in her ear.
Then she yelled at the door, “Get out! Don’t you dare bother us!”
“Whoa, what’s with the anger?”
Fortunately, Xu Jinnan’s family was powerful. Hearing the anger in her voice, the two men didn’t dare to push further.
“Alright, alright, Nan-jie, have fun first. Call us when you’re done.”
“Imagine how amazing it would be to pin her down…”
Soon, the vulgar conversation and footsteps faded, and the main door locked again.
Xu Jinnan looked at the frightened Shen Shu and softly coaxed, “Don’t listen to their nonsense. I won’t let anyone in. Now be good and take the suppressant.”
“Get away…” Shen Shu tried to push her away, but her efforts against Xu Jinnan were feeble.
Xu Jinnan was getting a headache. Even now, Shen Shu refused to use the suppressant. She truly resented her down to her bones. Thinking about the original Xu Jinnan’s fate, she felt a burning pain in her own neck.
Xu Jinnan was out of options: “You have to take it. Just bear with it.”
She held Shen Shu against her shoulder, securing her with an arm around her waist. As she picked up the syringe, ready to inject her forcefully…
“Hiss—Don’t bite… Gently…”
Her neck was suddenly bitten by the Omega.
Shen Shu didn’t have much strength, but the sudden burst of force made Xu Jinnan’s heart clench in pain.
She didn’t push her away. Enduring the sharp pain, she gently hooked the Omega’s long hair with her pinky finger and quickly injected the suppressant into her scent gland.
After a few seconds, the pain subsided, leaving only a burning heat and moist breath against her skin.
The vanilla scent in the air lessened considerably.
It seemed to be working. Xu Jinnan let out a long breath and asked, “Shen Shu, are you alright?”
The body in her arms stirred slightly.
Shen Shu asked breathlessly, “What… what are you playing at?”
“No games.” Xu Jinnan said, “When you’re feeling better, I’ll leave. Or if you want to go somewhere, we can go.” In reality, she wanted to leave this place even more than Shen Shu did.
Shen Shu’s hot breath was on her neck, and both of them were only wearing thin layers of clothing. She was only in a strapless top, and Shen Shu in a camisole, their chests practically glued together.
She hadn’t noticed it before, but now that things had calmed down, Xu Jinnan felt a strange reaction in her body.
A heat bloomed from within, her heartbeat matching Shen Shu’s pre-injection breathing rate. Her scent glands throbbed, and a wave of heat washed over her.
Her mind was even less cooperative, flashing images of the smooth, silk-like skin around Shen Shu’s scent gland, the color of rosewater blooming on white sheets…
Her thoughts ran wild, tracing a path from the Omega’s tailbone to her shoulder blades, finally settling on the most sensitive spot on her neck.
It would be even better if the Omega cried. She would cup her face, gazing into her moist eyes.
Until the Omega yielded—
Xu Jinnan gasped at her own thoughts. She liked women, but she’d never had such intense, possessive thoughts before.
Was this another aftereffect of the original Xu Jinnan?!
Afraid of doing something rash, Xu Jinnan quickly moved Shen Shu away from her embrace, supporting her only with her arm.
“Are you feeling better now?”
Meeting Shen Shu’s suspicious gaze, Xu Jinnan said earnestly, “If I wanted to harm you, I wouldn’t have given you the suppressant.”
Shen Shu narrowed her eyes, as if asking: You dare say that?
“…”
Xu Jinnan choked. The people who just came in using the code were hard to explain.
In the brief silence, Xu Jinnan’s eyes were drawn back to the tattoo on Shen Shu’s collarbone.
Two black crescent moons, forming a curved X, sat on the bone of her right collarbone. A simple design, but strikingly beautiful against her pale skin. The novel mentioned Shen Shu had done it herself.
Her gaze traveled upwards from the tattoo.
Shen Shu’s image was supposed to be cool and elegant, but now she looked so weak she might collapse at any moment. The redness hadn’t faded from the corners of her eyes, strands of hair clung to her cheeks and neck with sweat, and her lips were like blooming roses.
It made her look more like an alluring siren.
Tempting one to reach out and crush those roses, making them even more vibrant.
Xu Jinnan was really feeling unwell now.
It felt like something was about to burst forth from within her, her pulse and scent glands not just throbbing, but aching.
“Seen enough?”
The weak Omega lifted her head to meet her gaze.
Xu Jinnan saw the coldness and wariness in her bloodshot eyes, and the absurd thoughts that had flashed through her mind a moment ago.
“…” Xu Jinnan cleared her throat and said, “Don’t be nervous. Actually, I’m not an Alpha. I’m an Omega.”
Shen Shu: “?”
