[The cat is the top]
[Lawless, domineering heir x gentle, sickly beauty]
-1-
Xie Chen, the sole heir to the top-tier Xie family. He presented as an Alpha at sixteen, becoming the only 3S+ Alpha in nearly a century and cementing his status as the young heir of the wealthy elite. No one had ever dared to make him suffer.
That is, until he met Xu Zhilu, the son his mistress father brought home, his "older brother" with no blood relation to him.
Xie Chen naturally had no intention of letting him off easy.
He made life difficult for his brother and tormented him. No one in the wealthy elite dared even smile at Xu Zhilu.
Xie Chen was very pleased.
But when he closed his eyes and opened them again, he had turned into Xu Zhilu's cat.
Xie Chen: "…"
Xie Chen was quick to adapt. Since he couldn't turn back for the time being, he would deign to be a cat.
Xu Zhilu named him Sangbiao.
Xie Chen endured it.
Xu Zhilu smacked the cat's bottom.
Xie Chen smiled. Endured it.
Xu Zhilu insisted he was making messes everywhere and indecently touching the private parts of little cats.
Xie Chen's eyes were gloomy, but a smile hung on his lips. He endured it.
Xu Zhilu wanted to get the cat neutered.
Xie Chen... Xie Chen couldn't take it anymore.
He leaped into the air and landed in his brother's arms.
Xu Zhilu laughed so hard he could barely stand, yet still managed to support the cat's bottom, afraid he might fall.
Xie Chen stared at Xu Zhilu. He was very thin, his skin an unhealthy, cool white. If he stood for too long, he had to lean against a wall for support. Yet he was always smiling at Xie Chen, giving him anything he asked for.
This wasn't what he had expected.
His brother seemed to be a genuine saint.
But eventually, the kitten stopped thinking about it so much.
Curled against the warm side of his brother's neck, he breathed deeply, his nostrils filled with a gentle, clean fragrance.
His mind held only one thought:
His brother smells so good.
How can he smell this good?
I want to swallow him whole.

There was an unspoken rule among the wealthy elite: If you wanted to get on Xie Chen's good side, all you had to do was bully his brother.
At a banquet, one rich heir prepared a cartload of liquor, planning to dump it all over Xu Zhilu in front of Xie Chen. But when he tugged the tablecloth, the arrogant young heir turned around and shielded Xu Zhilu, taking the full force of the liquor bottles himself.
The whole room fell silent.
The young heir's eyes were icy. He turned around, smiled at the other heir, and tilted his head.
The other heir: "…"
Wait, why did the tide turn again?!
Nobody told me!
Help!!
Xu Zhilu looked... even more shocked than the other heir.

A tutor named Xu Zhilu lived in the Jinsha community.
He was well-known in the area.
First, no matter how badly behaved a student was, he could make them behave like an angel.
Second, he was incredibly beautiful. Though he was a Beta, he was prettier than the Omegas on TV.
Lots of people wanted him, but no one had managed to win him over.
They thought resentfully that a Beta had no business being so picky and turning them down. They'd like to see what kind of partner he could find.
Then one day, the news kept replaying footage of the wedding of the century for a 3S+ Alpha.
The 3S+ Alpha was still as handsome, dangerous, and arrogant as ever, and the person standing beside him... was Xu Zhilu.
Everyone: "???"
#What do you do when you find out halfway through pursuing him that your rival is the young heir of a wealthy family?!
