I Only Like Your Pheromones

Also known as: After Our Contract Marriage, I Spread Rumors About My Husband Every Day

Right after getting married: I found a super rich boss. He’s an Omega. His voice is only this deep because he has a cold.

To the antagonist: Actually, my husband can’t perform, but I don’t mind. We’re in a platonic relationship.

After the divorce: My boss is offering me a promotion, but I’ve decided to go abroad for further study first~

A cheerful, sunny receiver on the surface x a gentle pursuer obsessed with pure love

Jing Yin’s family went bankrupt and his father died a violent death, yet he still wore a smile every day. He firmly believed that fate was unpredictable and the future uncertain, so you might as well enjoy life while you could.

His motto was: When life is good, make the most of it. Tomorrow, you could be at death’s door.

So when Duan Cenxiu, a young S-rank Alpha and the richest man in the country, put a contract marriage agreement in front of him, Jing Yin signed it without a moment’s hesitation.

At seventeen, Jing Yin had looked up at him as if he were a radiant sun high above the sky.

Now, watching him suffer from an illness caused by unstable pheromones, Jing Yin actually felt grateful. This was his only chance to get close to him.

For two years of marriage, Jing Yin dutifully played the part of Duan Cenxiu’s Omega partner and loved him with all his might. Sometimes Duan Cenxiu thought he was taking the role too seriously and would remind him coldly, “I only need your pheromones. Don’t get the wrong idea.”

Then Duan Cenxiu’s first love returned from abroad. Jing Yin knew it was time to leave, so he gave him a wedding anniversary gift and his blessings, then vanished from Duan Cenxiu’s life.

But he never expected Duan Cenxiu to come looking for him, eyes red, and ask, “‘I’m hopelessly in love with Cenxiu.’ ‘I’ll stay by Cenxiu’s side for the rest of my life.’ ‘My whole self, my whole heart, belongs to Cenxiu.’ Weren’t those all things you said?”

Jing Yin stared at him in shock. “Did you actually get taken in by my act?”

Duan Cenxiu really had been taken in. He had always thought Jing Yin was like a tree that could withstand any storm, always so cheerful, with no worries or troubles.

Only later did he learn that when a tree is suffering, it makes no sound. Even its death is silent.

So he had to start from the beginning and teach him: “Jing Yin, when it hurts, you have to say so. When you’re sad, you have to cry.”

Blurb for The Minister of Justice Is Done Pretending:

Everyone in the capital knew that Cao Shu, the youngest daughter of the Ministry of Revenue’s Vice Minister, was hopelessly in love with the young general of the Marquis’s household, to the point that lovesickness had made her ill.

Fortunately, Heaven smiled on them, and they were married.

Huo Xiao had only met Cao Shu a few times. She always kept her head down, then looked up at him with timid eyes, stumbling over her words, but they had a surprising amount in common.

So he had no objection to the marriage.

On their wedding night, Cao Shu’s eyes glistened with unshed tears as she called him “husband” in a voice barely above a whisper.

Huo Xiao’s heart gave a sudden lurch. His wife was so delicate. He would have to protect her well.

But after enduring the court’s treacherous struggles and narrowly escaping death, he suddenly realized he might be nothing more than a pawn in someone else’s hands.

His “delicate” wife looked down at him with a beaming smile. “Husband, you really are an excellent pawn.”

A pawn is useless once the game is over. It can be discarded.

Huo Xiao, who had memorized the divorce agreement by heart, stood at the palace gates beside Cao Shu, both of them dressed in official robes. “Will I be of use to you as a pawn in your next game?”

From the moment Cao Shu decided to marry into the marquis’s household, she had made sure to learn everything about Huo Xiao.

Acting was what she did best. If she could get what she wanted, why not put on a performance?

She just hadn’t expected that when the show was over, the discarded pawn would come rolling back into her hands, willing to let her play with him as she pleased.
