As night fell, the panoramic view from the floor-to-ceiling windows of the 18th-floor suite at the Vibe Hotel, located in V City’s famous tourist resort area, offered a breathtaking sight of the surrounding scenery.
In the golden autumn of October, the seasonal maple leaves shimmered under the streetlights, their crimson veins glowing as they intertwined with neatly arranged ornamental chrysanthemums, creating a unique landscape within the hotel grounds. Not far away lay the picturesque Liao Mountain scenic area, embraced by lush green hills and clear waters. Naturally, a seven-star hotel built in such a prime location came with an exorbitant price tag.
Yet, standing in this lavishly acquired suite, Shi Wei Yue, holding a wine glass, felt a chill creeping from head to toe. The tall woman stood frozen by the window, staring at her reflection in the glass, illuminated by the room’s lights.
Her hair was dyed a golden-gray, styled in seemingly effortless, tousled waves. Her makeup, though subtle, was meticulously applied to accentuate her delicate features, a straight, well-defined nose, full at the bridge, and cheeks dusted with a rosy blush that lent her face an innocent, almost ethereal allure, yet with an underlying seductive charm.
The style was identical to hers, but the face was not her own.
When the faint sound of running water drifted from the bathroom, the wine glass slipped from her pale fingers with a soft clink, spilling the last drops onto the carpet and leaving a faint stain.
“Welcome to Fu Shao’s Pursuit: Where Can the Delicate Omega Escape? You are Shi Wei Yue, the domineering female antagonist of this story. Below is a detailed introduction to your identity and mission. Please listen carefully.”
As the system’s voice echoed in her mind, Shi Wei Yue felt as though she had been cursed by misfortune lately. Her head buzzed, but the system paid no heed to her reluctance, relentlessly continuing its explanation.
Gradually, Shi Wei Yue pieced together her current predicament.
This outdated novel reeked of melodrama, the male lead was greasy, the female lead was delicate, and the plot revolved around the classic “he chases, she flees, but there’s no escape” trope, pairing a domineering CEO with a sweet, submissive wife. Even her role as the domineering antagonist was a toxic mix of cruelty, pettiness, and cringe.
Among the obstacles standing in the way of the main couple’s happiness was the story’s most formidable villain, Wen Ruxing, a ruthless and influential Alpha who nearly drove the protagonists to ruin multiple times. Backed by powerful connections, she acted with arrogance and brutality. Only after overcoming her schemes could the main couple finally be together.
And Shi Wei Yue’s role? She was Wen Ruxing’s equally toxic and manipulative Alpha wife.
Their marriage had been arranged out of necessity when Wen Ruxing’s family faced a crisis, with an agreement to stay out of each other’s affairs. But according to the plot, Shi Wei Yue would drug Wen Ruxing, forcing her to participate in a twisted game with the main couple.
Unlike the typical “sky darkens, the Wang family falls” tycoons, the original Shi Wei Yue was a rebellious, deranged little freak, unhinged but ultimately powerless. After this incident, Wen Ruxing would hold a grudge, and her fate would be utterly tragic.
Shi Wei Yue had transmigrated at the exact moment when the original host had set her plan in motion. The main couple was about to attend a party here, Wen Ruxing had already consumed the spiked drink, and after accidentally staining her clothes, she was now showering. By the time she stepped out, the drug would take effect.
