Wake Up, I’m a Beta

Mu Suiyun is an utterly unremarkable beta.

Because of her family background, however, she has an S-rank omega fiancée.

But betas cannot satisfy an omega's pheromone needs, especially not those of an S-rank omega.

For her fiancée, Ning Zhifan, this engagement is a humiliation.

Out of a sense of guilt, Mu Suiyun treats Ning Zhifan exceptionally well. Even when she repeatedly realizes that the other woman is using her, she never complains.

As the wedding date approaches, the Mu family falls from power.

“I'm sorry, but I can't love a beta,” Ning Zhifan says coolly. “You can't mark me. I can't accept spending my life with a partner like that.”

Their relationship ends there.

After the engagement is called off,

Mu Suiyun tries meeting other women. But halfway to her very first date, she's dragged into a car and taken to a hotel.

The hotel room is saturated with the pheromones of an S-rank omega in heat, so intense that no alpha or omega can get close.

Her cool, distant ex-fiancée rubs her fever-hot cheek against Mu Suiyun, then bends down and bares her slender neck. Her voice is hoarse and full of longing, tinged with a sob. “Suiyun... Suiyun, mark me... please...”

Mu Suiyun stays perfectly calm. “Wake up. I'm a beta. I can't mark you.”

She isn't even the slightest bit affected by Ning Zhifan's pheromones.

Even when Ning Zhifan nearly exhausts herself trying to cover Mu Suiyun from head to toe with her pheromones, Mu Suiyun doesn't notice at all. She remains unmoved.

Ning Zhifan hated the engagement that had been forced upon her.

An omega's physical needs also made it impossible for her to accept a beta as her lifelong partner.

So the moment she got the chance, Ning Zhifan ended the engagement.

She never imagined that after Mu Suiyun left, she would go into a rut.

Only belatedly did Ning Zhifan realize that even though her body longed for a mark and for pheromones, she had fallen in love with Mu Suiyun.

She wanted Mu Suiyun even more than she wanted a mark or pheromones.

But Mu Suiyun didn't love her.

Even though Mu Suiyun was willing to stay with her during treatment and still treated her with tenderness, Mu Suiyun still preferred betas.

She heard Mu Suiyun talking with a friend. “Alphas and omegas are both such a hassle. I hope Miss Ning gets better soon. I want to leave.”

...No! She couldn't let that happen!

[You are the one I love, even if it means betraying my instincts.]

Coming next: My Wife Doesn't Want Me Anymore

Xiaoshan's wife was gentle and considerate, always thinking of everything for her. After getting married, Xiaoshan finally understood what happiness meant.

Her life was so blissful, it felt like a childhood dream come true.

Then the dream ended.

Her gentle wife suddenly turned out to have an extraordinary identity. Immortals revered her as a goddess.

A goddess. A wife.

The immortals said that Her Highness the Goddess had suffered such indignity, sacrificing her noble status and marrying a lowly mortal for the sake of peace in this world.

Now that the matter was settled, the Goddess should return to the Ninth Heaven, to her divine palace.

As for the insignificant mortal, even if she wasn't killed, her memories should be erased, lest she disgrace the Goddess.

Xiaoshan looked at her wife's icy expression, her hands and feet numb.

Xiaoshan lost her memories.

She was once again an ordinary woman, living in the countryside and working hard to make ends meet.

Her elders arranged a match for her.

Xiaoshan obediently went to meet the woman.

She was the daughter of a wealthy merchant in town, and she liked Xiaoshan enough to ask her to marry her.

What kind of luck was this?

Xiaoshan agreed.

With the wedding approaching, Xiaoshan worked hard to earn money so she could make a hairpin for her fiancée.

She was poor, but she still wanted to give her future wife a heartfelt gift.

The day the hairpin was finished, a strange woman appeared.

She snatched the hairpin from Xiaoshan. Her voice trembled, at once coaxing and stern as she warned her, “You already have a wife. You mustn't be unfaithful.”

Xiaoshan stared at her in confusion. “I only have a fiancée who hasn't married me yet. I don't have a wife.”

To her surprise, the fairy-like woman's eyes filled with tears.

Xiaoshan eventually recovered her memories.

The first thing she said to the woman was, “Your Highness the Goddess, we are already divorced. Don't cling to me.”

Xiaoshan thought that the Goddess had saved all living beings, cast aside her dignity and lofty status, and become her gentle wife.

She couldn't blame or resent her for using and abandoning her in the name of righteousness.

But even an insignificant mortal had her pride.

Her wife had disappeared the day her memories were stolen.

From then on, they belonged to utterly different worlds, and had nothing more to do with each other.

To cultivate in seclusion and pursue the Great Dao, the Goddess willingly married a country girl.

She never expected that one day, with demons of the heart multiplying and her Daoist resolve faltering, it would all be because

Her wife didn't want her anymore.
