Everyone in high society knew that Yu Wan was merely the daughter of a servant, and that she had stayed by the side of Meng Ling, the second young master of the Meng family, only because they had grown up together.

No one knew that Yu Wan, the object of their scorn and disdain, had been secretly dating the unruly Meng Ling for three years. In fact, at first, he was the one who pursued her relentlessly and humbled himself for her.

They were intimate in private but barely interacted in public. To avoid being discovered, Meng Ling never left his mark on her.

Then Yu Wan developed pheromone dysregulation and urgently needed a high-quality alpha's mark. At the same time, she found herself in danger.

Meng Ling was her lifeline, but as heat consumed her consciousness, he hung up on her, leaving her only a text: [I'll message you in a bit.]

Yu Wan didn't get Meng Ling. Instead, she got his older brother, the refined, aloof, and unsentimental head of the Meng family, who drew her into his arms.

As Meng Ling grew older, he kept telling Yu Wan to wait a little longer.

It never occurred to him that she might stop waiting for him.

That was until he caught the scent of Yu Wan's pheromones on his distant, aloof older brother.

Male lead's perspective:

He was secretly in love with a crescent moon. The moon had descended to earth, but refused to shine on him, leaving him to watch from the shadows.

Until that moon, flickering in and out of sight, suddenly threw herself into his arms.

[A restrained, patient, secretly-in-love, daddy-type powerful male lead × resilient, independent, bright female lead × sincere, clingy, tearful puppy-like second male lead who changes his heart]

Reader's guide:

1. While the heroine and second male lead are still together, they will be physically intimate, and they don't break up right away.

2. Both male leads are sexually inexperienced. Happy ending.
