CH 1 A Tiger on Top of Me?!

A suffocating weight crushed her chest.

A low growl rumbled beside her ear. Hot breath fanned across her skin, making her shudder as the strange heat spread down her spine.

Su Qinglan’s eyes snapped open, only to be met with golden eyes slit like a beast’s, staring right into hers.

And that face... so dangerously handsome it made her heart skip.

Bronzed skin, Wild black hair spilling over a face carved to perfection. Striped markings crawling down his shoulders like molten ink. Fangs slightly bared. His massive body caging her completely, like a predator pinning its prey.

Her mind was wrapped in a heavy fog, thoughts slipping away before she could grasp them. Heat coiled deep inside her, burning her from the inside out; every place his skin touched hers felt like it was on fire. Her heartbeat pounded in her ears...loud, fast and frantic.

Something inside her throbbed painfully, a deep, aching that made it hard to breathe.

Her lips parted, a scream rising in her throat, but before she could make a sound, the haze around her eyes thickened, and the world tilted.

She felt herself drifting and slipping in and out of consciousness like a small boat tossed on a stormy sea.

And then... darkness swallowed her whole.

It felt like hours...before her eyes fluttered open again. A dim, cold light stabbed at her pupils. She blinked hard, trying to adjust, her lashes sticking together.

Every inch of her body ached, a deep, bone-deep pain, as if someone had smashed her skeleton apart and forced the pieces back together wrong.

Her head throbbed viciously. The moment she tried to push herself up, a bolt of pain shot through her, so sharp it stole her breath.

"Ugh—!"

Every muscle screamed in agony. And worse, she realized she was lying on a crude stone slab, covered only by a ragged, foul-smelling animal hide.

She tried to move again, but her legs trembled violently. Even... more important parts of her body throbbed painfully. And then...flashes of last night rushed into her mind.

Her eyes widened.

"Huh?! Wait—was that real?!"

Her pulse spiked. "Did... did I just get violated in some strange place?!"

Su Qinglan screamed. The ache in her body was proof enough that whatever happened wasn’t a dream.

"Bastard! Just because you’re handsome, who gave you the right to touch me?!" She spat through gritted teeth, her voice shaking with fury. She had never felt so humiliated in her life.

"Whoever you are... you’re dead meat. You messed with the wrong woman!"

Her fingernails dug into her palms so hard that blood welled up, but the sting only fueled her rage.

She swung her legs off the slab, every muscle protesting, but her rage burned hotter than the pain. She was going to find that man and demand answers, maybe even punch his teeth out.

But the moment she tried to stand, something strange happened.

A heavy, dragging weight pulled her down, making her stumble back onto the cold stone.

"What the...?!"

Her breathing quickened. Something didn’t feel right. Her balance was off, her body...much heavier.

She looked down, and her mind went blank.

Her hands... weren’t her hands. They were thick and pudgy, with fingers that looked short and swollen. Her arms were soft, round, and pale...not the lean, toned limbs she’d trained for years to keep.

And her body...

It wasn’t just different, it was unrecognizable. Her once slim, sharp figure was buried under layers of flesh. Her stomach spilled outward in folds, her thighs pressed against each other like overstuffed dough, and rolls clung to her sides and back like they had always been there.

She looked like a giant, overfilled sack of potatoes...lumpy, uneven, and completely alien.

Her voice shook in disbelief. "What the hell...? When... when did I become so fat?!"

Before her fury could explode, a wave of nausea slammed into her. Her temples throbbed. Strange, unfamiliar images flashed in her head...faces, voices, and places she had never seen before.

They weren’t her memories.

Her breath came in sharp gasps. The truth slammed into her like a boulder that she had actually transmigrated.

This body belonged to a woman from a beast world, a place completely unlike anything Su Qinglan had ever known. A land where men could transform into massive beasts, each one carrying the power to crush stone with their bare hands.

Females were extremely rare here, and because of that, the tribes followed a different rule, polyandry. One female could have several male mates, and those mates would share and protect her for life.

But the original owner...was a cruel female. Hated by everyone.

Because her father was the tribe leader, she could bully anyone without consequence. She never cooked, never bathed, and never walked more than a few steps. She stole from others and never returned anything.

And last night...

Su Qinglan’s stomach twisted. The original owner had actually drugged a new warrior her father rescued, a tiger beast warrior, and forced herself onto him.

And that tiger...

That infuriating beast who had pinned her down last night... was actually a victim.

His name was Hu Yan, a five-stripe ranking warrior of the tiger clan. Fierce and lethal. The kind of man people whispered in awe... and kept their distance from.

And just like everyone else in the tribe, he despised the original owner of this body.

Her father, the tribe leader, had forced three powerful warriors to be her mates. But no matter how high their status, they could never openly defy the leader—so they tolerated her existence without affection, and refused to truly mate with her.

The original owner couldn’t accept the humiliation. She was supposed to be their woman, yet they treated her like dirt. She became the tribe’s biggest joke, the spoiled daughter no man wanted.
