Many people in their circle coveted the young master of the Luo family, Luo Xibai. He was so beautiful that he could be called proud and untarnished as snow, noble and otherworldly.
Everyone thought he would differentiate into a high-ranking Omega, but to their surprise, he became the most ordinary Beta.
From then on, Luo Xibai's circumstances took a nosedive. His father's mistress moved into the household, his illegitimate younger brother kicked him while he was down, and his fiance, who had once pursued him passionately, hurriedly broke off their engagement, publicly declaring that a Beta with nothing but looks was worthless.
Just as the Luo family was about to casually marry him off in exchange for one last bit of profit, the powerful and widely feared head of the Wen family came to formally propose, choosing Luo Xibai as his wife.
-
Luo Xibai had heard about the Wen family head: cold-blooded and mercurial, afflicted with pheromone dysregulation, a terrifying and powerful Alpha monster...
He had only fallen from one wolf's den into another tiger's lair. Luo Xibai decided to accept his fate. If it came to it, they could take each other down together.
Unexpectedly, his new husband was different from the rumors...
He was cold and ruthless, yet would tuck Luo Xibai in and pat his back to soothe him to sleep in the middle of the night.
He was taciturn, yet remembered all his little likes, dislikes, and habits.
He was unpredictable, yet indulged his every unreasonable tantrum and picky whim.
After a while, Luo Xibai was no longer afraid of his husband. It was just that... strange things kept happening in the Wen household.
For example, the feeling of being tightly wrapped around in his sleep every night, mysterious "mosquito bites" appearing all over his body, and a sticky, scorching gaze that followed him like a shadow...
It wasn't until he broke a Wen family taboo late one night and was dragged by countless tentacles into a basement cage that he finally understood.
His husband really was a monster wearing the skin of a gentleman, and he really would swallow Luo Xibai whole.
-
Almost everyone in their circle thought Luo Xibai was living a miserable married life at the Wen estate, trapped with no way forward or back.
At a certain banquet, not only the mother and son who had risen to power in the Luo family and the Shi family, to whom he had once been engaged, but everyone looked forward to seeing the once-unattainable beauty broken and cast into the mud.
Who could have guessed that the moment he appeared, tears glistening in his eyes and acting utterly spoiled, he would slap the dreaded head of the Wen family and shout at him to get lost?
The hall fell silent. Everyone feared the monster Alpha's fury would strike them too.
But they watched as the Alpha dropped to one knee, humbly taking Luo Xibai's hand and guiding it toward his other cheek. "Xixi, it's all my fault. I shouldn't have made you angry. How about you hit me a couple more times to let off some steam?"
-
Who could have guessed that every night, Luo Xibai would be forced to endure the monster's so-called "pheromone dysregulation," offering himself up to satisfy his husband's bottomless lust and craving?
The tentacles winding around him slowly unfurled his curled-up body. Passionate, frenzied words of obsession came with hot, damp breaths against his ear.
"I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you... You're my wife, my lover, my savior, my everything..."
"Why are you running away? Being bound together is our fate. Even if we die, we'll be entangled with each other for all eternity."
"I'm sorry... I can't control myself. It wants to get close to you, to enter you. It just likes you. Baby, could you lift your legs? My tentacles will behave. They won't hurt you, baby..."
[A soft-tempered, slightly willful Beta shou X gloomy, obsessive, love-addled monster gong]
1. They are each other's only
2. The gong is a monster, so he has many tricks up his sleeve. His thought process can be far removed from that of humans, and he's a pervert and an extreme character who needs the shou to teach him gradually.
