After the Breakup, My Aloof Omega Ex with Touch Starvation Regretted It

When Shi Xu saw Pei Qing, a group of alphas were surrounding her and jeering.

Pei Qing stood beneath the glaring lights and tipped her head back, swallowing everything in her glass.

She took the dirtiest, most wretched money, yet the omega's expression was stubborn and cold, like a white flower fallen into the mud.

She asked her, "How much for the night? I'll buy you."

Pei Qing was interested in figure skating, so Shi Xu hired the most renowned coaches and booked the most expensive rinks for her.

When someone insulted Pei Qing during a competition, they were found the next day, having fallen into the sea and become shark food.

When her heat came, iron handcuffs bit into Shi Xu's wrists, leaving marks deep enough to expose the bone. Yet when she marked Pei Qing, she was so gentle she almost seemed to hide her fangs.

Later, the company's confidential files were stolen and its core data made completely public. The Shi Group's stock crashed overnight.

Shi Xu was trapped in a feverish heat, barely conscious, holding Pei Qing and repeating over and over,

"Pei Qing, don't leave me. I only have you."

Pei Qing pried Shi Xu's fingers away one by one, admiring her red-rimmed eyes and the way she had been brought low, down into the dust.

"Shi Xu, have you ever wondered who betrayed you?"

Shi Xu came to her senses and saw Pei Qing smiling, her gaze more heartless than an enemy's.

"Shi Xu, every time you mark me, it disgusts me."

*

Pei Qing was cold by nature, and revenge had been the only thing keeping her alive through the first half of her life.

Shi Xu's alpha father had caused her parents' deaths and left her mired in the mud, unable to ever return to the figure-skating rink.

Pei Qing gave him a taste of his own medicine. Hiding her identity, she deliberately approached Shi Xu, seduced her, and won her favor. Then she made sure Shi Xu lost everything and fell into the dust.

The Shi Group was ruined, and Shi Xu disappeared without a trace.

Pei Qing had gotten what she wanted. She should have felt triumphant, but then she learned that the real enemy had already been sent to prison.

It turned out Shi Xu had known all along that Pei Qing had approached her with an ulterior motive.

From that day on, Pei Qing was plagued by nightmares, her health gradually deteriorating. At night, she was always haunted by the alpha's red-rimmed eyes.

Her hospital diagnosis said she had pheromone dependency syndrome and needed Shi Xu's pheromones to sleep normally.

Later, Pei Qing saw Shi Xu again at a high-society banquet in N City. Shi Xu had a strange omega on her arm and had become a rising star praised by business tycoons, more successful than ever.

That night, in a hotel room, Pei Qing's long-suppressed heat was easily roused by the alpha's pheromones. Her fingers trembled as she took off her clothes.

"Mark me."

"Shi Xu..."

But Shi Xu seemed not to notice the restless pheromones filling the room. She only watched Pei Qing lose control, her gaze full of scorn.

"Ms. Pei."

"Please show some self-respect."

PS:

* The characters aren't perfect.

* My take on ABO, no accessories.

* A love-hate story, broken up and reunited, with a groveling chase and a little melodrama, but it's very compelling.

Next up: My AI Housekeeping Robot Is Actually My Boss

In 2026, fully intelligent, fully lifelike humanoid home robots hit the market.

Shu Yan followed the trend and bought one. When it arrived, she was surprised by how realistic its materials felt. It was fair-skinned and beautiful, with a slender waist and long legs, and an elegant, gentle face that put TV actresses to shame.

The robot had its own name: Yuan Qing.

Though Yuan Qing was a household robot, she slacked off every day.

Before leaving in the morning, Shu Yan would tell her to clean and tidy up, but when Shu Yan got home, Yuan Qing would be sitting elegantly on the sofa, reading.

Shu Yan: "Did you do the laundry and mop the floor?"

Yuan Qing: "Too tiring."

Shu Yan: "Cook and wash the dishes?"

Yuan Qing: "Too dirty."

Shu Yan was so angry she laughed.

Worse still, the robot wasn't merely lazy and refusing to work. She was also trying to run away.

One day, Shu Yan and Yuan Qing stood face-to-face at the entrance to their apartment complex.

For once, a hint of embarrassment appeared on Yuan Qing's usually calm, indifferent face.

Shu Yan: "Where are you going?"

Yuan Qing: "Just for a walk."

Shu Yan didn't believe a word of it. She cut off the internet and kept Yuan Qing locked at home every day.

She wouldn't take her eyes off Yuan Qing while she showered, and even... left the door wide open.

Yuan Qing stopped trying to escape, just as Shu Yan expected. But gradually, her expressions became harder and harder to read.

That night, Shu Yan closed her eyes once again, but Yuan Qing approached without warning.

Her cool fingertips warmed, soft and tender, so scorching they made Shu Yan lose her senses.

"Why don't you ask me?"

"I can do everything it can."

Shu Yan allowed it. After all, it was only a machine, more or less the same thing.

A few months later, customer service called to tell Shu Yan that this batch of robots had a programming error and the defective units were being recalled.

Yuan Qing was taken away. Shu Yan felt bereft and could only throw herself back into her work.

That was, until someone from headquarters parachuted into the company. The all-too-familiar face appeared at the head of the conference table.

"Allow me to introduce myself. I'm the Executive Director, Yu Yuanqing."
