Isn’t Baby a Top-Tier Alpha? Why are You Running?

Sikong Sui transmigrates into the body of the villainess in the ABO novel *Warlord’s Abyss*, inheriting her memories and a binding system. The original Sikong Sui was the second daughter of the powerful Sikong family, destined to become the supreme warlord. However, the system imposes a lethal condition: within 180 days, Sikong Sui must raise the favorability of four target characters—Fu Yuan, Gu Shiyan, Pei Sichen, and Xie Ren—to 100 percent each. Failure to complete the task will result in permanent entrapment in the novel world, while success grants her return to reality with a billion-dollar reward. The original plot dictates that Sikong Sui, after differentiating into an Omega, becomes jealous of her brother and sabotages his relationship with Fu Yuan, leading to her imprisonment and torture by the four male leads. Armed with foreknowledge of this tragic ending, Sikong Sui resolves to alter her fate by repairing her relationship with her brother and manipulating the affection dynamics among the targets.

Upon awakening, Sikong Sui finds herself in a position of power, surrounded by Omegas attempting to please her. She realizes she is acting on the original character’s惯性, but stops herself when her brother, Sikong Nian, enters. Sikong Nian appears as a gentle, submissive Omega, but Sikong Sui soon discovers he is actually a top-tier Alpha who has been disguising his gender to avoid competing with her for the family inheritance. He has been pretending to be an Omega for years, even suppressing his true nature to support her ambitions. Sikong Sui learns that Sikong Nian is secretly in love with Fu Yuan, her assigned mentor and one of the four targets. Recognizing that Sikong Nian’s favorability is permanently locked at 100 percent and that his connections are vital to her mission, Sikong Sui decides to protect her brother’s secret while actively matchmaking him with Fu Yuan.

The narrative takes a dramatic turn when Fu Yuan arranges for Xie Ren, a top-tier SSS-level Alpha and the Empire’s most dangerous assassin, to stay at Sikong Sui’s residence due to an unstable rut period. Xie Ren, who initially despises Sikong Sui with a favorability score of negative ten, suffers a severe loss of pheromone control during the night. Sikong Sui enters his room to administer suppressants, only to trigger her own premature differentiation. She differentiates into an SSS-level Omega with a creamy jasmine peach scent, achieving a near-perfect 99.97 percent compatibility with Xie Ren’s Bloody Mary pheromones. The intense pheromone resonance forces Xie Ren to give her a temporary mark to alleviate her heat, an act that shifts his favorability from negative to positive and establishes a deep, instinctual bond between them.

Sikong Nian discovers the temporary mark on Sikong Sui’s neck and confronts Xie Ren, leading to a tense standoff between the two top-tier Alphas. During the conflict, Xie Ren inadvertently reveals that he knows Sikong Nian is an Alpha, shattering the brother’s long-held disguise. Sikong Sui intervenes, protecting both her brother and Xie Ren, and confesses that she knows about Sikong Nian’s love for Fu Yuan. This revelation relieves Sikong Nian’s anxiety, as he realizes his sister accepts his true identity and desires. Sikong Sui then actively works to bridge the gap between Sikong Nian and Fu Yuan, using her new status as an SSS-level Omega to navigate the complex social hierarchy of the military academy. She also begins to build a rapport with Xie Ren, learning about his traumatic past as a child soldier in the Enhancement Program, which deepens her resolve to change the outcomes for all the targets.

As the story progresses, Sikong Sui faces the challenge of managing her relationships with the remaining targets, Gu Shiyan and Pei Sichen, while maintaining the delicate balance of her brother’s secret romance. The original plot’s momentum threatens to pull her back into the villainess role, but her proactive interventions and genuine care for the characters begin to diverge from the source material. Sikong Sui must navigate the political intrigue of the noble families, the biological imperatives of the ABO hierarchy, and the emotional complexities of the four male leads. Her ultimate goal remains clear: to achieve 100 percent favorability with each target before the countdown expires, thereby securing her freedom and ensuring the survival of those she has come to care for.
