Can It Count as Getting Back Together If We Never Divorced? [Entertainment Industry]

[Older Man/Younger Man | Size Difference | Young Newlyweds]

Moody, gloomy, down-and-out young master X cold, domineering, and scheming movie emperor

[The faithless man deceives himself by calling it atonement, while the hopeless romantic uses a contract to conquer territory]

Seven years ago, Jiang Yuwei relied on his pretty face and spoiled young-master temper to win over his crush in three months. Less than a year later, he had married him, then left without a word after sleeping with him.

Seven years later, Jiang Yuwei returned to the country with his mother's ashes. The moment he stepped off the plane, someone caught him red-handed.

-

Bai Ying, a celebrated alumnus of the Beijing Film Academy, a movie emperor who had swept the country's three major film awards, and Jiang Yuwei's lawful husband of seven years. At that moment, he was causing a commotion at the airport over the mysterious ring on Jiang Yuwei's index finger.

That night, the movie emperor, whose fans liked to joke that he was destined to be forever alone, shot to the top of the trending list after being seen tugging at a handsome, sporty guy with a wolf cut.

Just as everyone waited for the famously scandal-free star to post a clarification, Bai Ying shared a photo of their marriage certificate with the caption: Married. Thanks.

-

Under the terms of a contract, with divorce as the premise, Bai Ying demanded one year of freedom and fidelity from Jiang Yuwei.

Jiang Yuwei signed without hesitation. He felt guilty toward Bai Ying, and paying back seven years with one year even seemed like a bargain.

What Jiang Yuwei never expected was that Bai Ying was no longer the endlessly gentle senior he remembered. He was domineering and overbearing, his moods inexplicable, and he picked fights with Jiang Yuwei at the slightest provocation.

As they acted out their roles, they blurred the lines between love and desire. Love, hate, jealousy, and envy burned like a raging fire.

-

During one argument, Bai Ying told Jiang Yuwei to take off the shirt that didn't belong to him, then angrily bit his collarbone. Misreading his intentions, Jiang Yuwei offered to be “convenient bedmates.”

Bai Ying, incredulous: What do you take me for?

Jiang Yuwei, turning to leave: Forget it if you don't want to. Just pretend I never said anything.

Bai Ying, furious, then thinking it over and slamming the door shut: Fine. We'll do it your way. We'll be “convenient bedmates.”

Before Jiang Yuwei could react, Bai Ying pinned him against the door and sank his teeth into his neck like a rabid dog.

[Marriage first, love later | 12-year age gap | Cross-dressing bottom | Beta becomes Omega, Alpha becomes Enigma]

Short-tempered, devil-may-care cross-dressing Omega X composed, fatherly Enigma who wants to control everything

Ji Xingtai was a Beta. At least, he had been for the first eighteen years of his life.

He had a fiery temper, a questionable education, and practically no morals at all. To raise money for his mother's medical treatment, Ji Xingtai put on high heels and a lace dress, pretended to be an innocent little Omega, and conned money out of old men.

That day, just after pulling off a major scam, Ji Xingtai was chased by a group of thugs hired by his mark before he could get away.

In desperation, he ran into a refined, noble-looking man in a wheelchair. With his life on the line, Ji Xingtai snatched the wheelchair and cried sweetly:

“Daddy, what took you so long?”

-

The next day, Ji Xingtai saw the news online about Daddy's arranged marriage to the Wan family.

The day after that, an assistant from the Wan family approached Ji Xingtai and offered him three million to pretend to be Daddy's betrothed.

Ji Xingtai eyed him warily. “Does that price include sleeping together?”

The assistant smiled. “Qi Yanyun has a disorder that makes him unable to sense pheromones. He's not interested in Alphas, Betas, or Omegas. You needn't worry.”

It was practically free money. Ji Xingtai would have to be out of his mind to hesitate for even a second, so he promptly signed the contract and agreed to get engaged.

What Ji Xingtai didn't know was that everything had been under Qi Yanyun's control from the start.

-

Everyone said that the Qi family's young master, Qi Yanyun, was outstanding and a perfect gentleman. No one knew he had an almost pathological need for control.

Qi Yanyun married Ji Xingtai and brought him into his home to play the part of a decorative vase symbolizing the alliance between their families. Instead, he ended up with a little tyrant on his hands. He wanted to control what Ji Xingtai ate, wore, and did, his grades, and even his long-delayed Omega differentiation.

Qi Yanyun wanted to control everything. Just as he thought Ji Xingtai had finally learned to behave, the little rascal secretly drugged him, took off his clothes, climbed onto his lap, and shamelessly tried to seduce him.

But when Qi Yanyun saw Ji Xingtai's pale skin and flushed nape, he lost himself for a moment. His body changed in an instant. He caught the sweet, cloying scent in the air and quickly realized it was Omega pheromones.

Ji Xingtai: Your disorder... suddenly went away?

Qi Yanyun: Shameless little thing. How should I punish you this time?

It was a night Ji Xingtai would bitterly regret. All he had wanted was to trick Qi Yanyun into giving him a temporary mark, so Qi Yanyun wouldn't abandon him when the fiancee he had replaced returned.

Who could have known that his supposedly frigid Alpha husband would undergo a second differentiation and become a beastlike Enigma?

Their fake marriage had become real.
