Playboy vs. master of deception

As a high-quality Omega with high-level pheromones, Lin Zhuo has never been short of handsome, rich Alphas eager to curry favor. They give him cars, cash, houses, and all sorts of strange little trinkets. They fawn over him like dogs, just for a few moments of flirtation and tenderness, a few blissful nights together, and a brief stint as lovers.

As for loving each other and staying together for life? Ha! That's just a fairy tale to fool idiots. He doesn't believe in it at all.

But Lin Zhuo can't stand being lonely. He hates solitude, craves company, and loves flirtation.

So he loves dating. He has almost no breaks between relationships, spending nearly every day of the year with someone. To avoid owing a mountain of emotional debts, Lin Zhuo has set a few strict rules for himself.

1. No one from school.

2. Never mark the other person.

3. Must pass his tests for looks, height, age, personality, pheromones, health, chemistry...

4. Never accept anything from the other person, so there's nothing to argue over after a breakup.

5. Change partners at least every six months.

6. Stay on good terms with all his exes.

7. Be the one to initiate the breakup. Never let anyone dump him.

8. Be sincere with people and take his work seriously.

He thought he'd keep drifting through a sea of flowers, never letting a single petal cling to him, and live a carefree, dashing life until the day he died. But an anonymous love letter tucked into his homework marked the beginning of his bad luck.

Lin Zhuo, touching his fake mustache and buck teeth: I look like this at school, and you still like me? Is that some kind of food fetish?
