[ABO + Bickering couple + Employment contract + Equally matched]
[Top-tier Alpha assassin × Omega young master pretending to be delicate]
Ling Fei is a top-tier Alpha who lives outside the rules. Her pheromones smell like cold, fragrant lilies, and thirty-nine high-difficulty assassinations have made her the underground world's “Silent Reaper.” But after taking a contract from the Sheng family to protect their Omega young master, Sheng Chen, she tumbles headfirst into a chaotic daily life full of absurd mishaps.
Sheng Chen is the beloved jewel of the Sheng financial conglomerate. His pheromones carry an enticing lime scent, and he's mastered the art of “playing the helpless innocent” to perfection. He could coast on his looks, but he'd rather win every argument. Yet this supposedly “frail” young master is the number-one target of gland hunters. His top-tier Omega pheromones fetch astronomical prices on the black market.
The Sheng family's reasons for choosing Ling Fei are practical and blunt: a 92% pheromone match, a clean background as an orphan, and overwhelming strength. They also have a private motive: to help Sheng Chen survive his deadly heat.
When the ice-cold assassin meets the dramatic Omega, their daily lives go completely off the rails:
Ling Fei blocks an assassination attempt without changing expression, only to have the scent of lime brush her ear as a prank. Sheng Chen clutches a pillow and plays helpless, while secretly maxing out his “flirting” skills. With gland hunters on their tail and family honor weighing on them, the pair move from mutual disdain under an employment contract to trust that has them watching each other's backs. Her lily scent builds a wall around him, while his lime scent cracks open the heart she's kept frozen for ten years.
Who could have guessed the most dangerous prey had already lured the hunter into a trap called “love”? But could family honor become the greatest obstacle between them? Where will their story lead?
The tags are wrong. This isn't a story with two female leads.
