[Passion-fruit-scented haughty queen bottom x apple-brandy-scented scheming puppy top]

Ruan Zhiyan is a well-known pretty face in the entertainment industry and the most doted-on Omega in the top-tier Ruan family.

His fans adore his gentle, refined charm, while his haters mock him for being undeserving of his status.

Everyone assumes the young master will live forever under the protection of his family and his arranged-marriage husband, a flawless, exquisitely polished ornament.

It isn't until the Ruan family finds their biological son that Ruan Zhiyan learns he is a fake young master, switched in for the real one.

His parents say, "You've enjoyed twenty years of wealth and luxury that never belonged to you."

His older siblings say, "This is a life you stole."

The real young master says, "You took everything that should have been mine."

His husband says, "If it weren't for you, he would have been my wife."

The entire internet is waiting to see how this fake young master, fallen from the clouds, will make a disgraceful exit.

But Ruan Zhiyan smiles at the camera, more sincere than he has ever been in the past twenty years.

"Thank goodness. I finally don't have to pretend anymore."

He sets about treating old injuries from years of beatings, tears apart his prim-and-proper image, takes the wildest roles, slaps the most arrogant people, becomes a fixture on trending topics for partying at bars, and publicly announces his divorce, ending the marriage once and for all.

The once-gentle, jade-like Omega is suddenly a night-club rose, wearing earrings and sunglasses, uninhibited and flamboyant.

He freely expresses himself, living with abandon and enjoying every moment. He never gives a second thought to the online comments calling him a fake young master.

His fans say, "Dude, tone it down. You don't have anyone to back you up anymore. They'll ban you from the industry."

His haters say, "I knew it. All that gentleness before was fake."

Later, he appears on a variety show with the president of the Pei Group. Sharp-eyed netizens spot him grabbing the president by the tie and kissing him in the behind-the-scenes footage.

Fans: "Dude, have you finally lost it?!"

Haters: "President Pei is an Alpha who hates gay people. You're done for. Do you still expect to get cast in anything?"

That very night, President Pei's verified account swiftly reposts a Weibo post: "I don't hate gay people. Stop spreading rumors."

Haters: O.o

Pei Mingjue, president of the Pei Group, is a powerful man who stands above everyone else, a top Alpha in City E. But no one knows that he's been unlucky in love for years.

The first time he falls for someone is at a banquet. Amid the clamor of clinking glasses, away from the crowd, he sees the Omega rumored to be gentle as jade casually knock out a persistent, spoiled rich kid with a single punch in a dark corner where no one is watching.

Later, he pays a fortune for the watch the Omega endorses and secretly clears away the arrogant rivals who get in his way.

When he wants to get closer, he learns the other man is married.

Falling for someone else's wife is no good.

But he never lets go of what he sets his sights on.

When the Ruan family throws Ruan Zhiyan out, Pei Mingjue discreetly offers him just the right opportunities. He also leaks news of that Alpha's affair, leading Ruan Zhiyan to discover the truth for himself.

When the Alpha tries to save their broken marriage, Pei Mingjue's invisible pressure quietly closes in.

At last, one day, the account he follows closely posts a picture of a green booklet.

In front of the floor-to-ceiling windows of a high-rise, Pei Mingjue's face breaks into a smile.

His chance has finally come.

Later, someone takes a photo in M Country.

In a dim bar, Ruan Zhiyan leans against the counter, kissing a man passionately.

Right after that, someone reveals that Ruan Zhiyan has married another Alpha.

Fans: "Have you completely let yourself go?"

Haters: "Are you that desperate?"

That night, Pei Mingjue reposts the photo: "It's a good shot, but too bad you can't see my face."

A few minutes later, he posts again, this time with a picture of their fingers intertwined and their marriage certificate: "You can see more clearly on the marriage certificate."

The whole internet explodes.
