Rich Omega Duan Jinye has lost his memory.
Not only have his memories gone back five years, but there's also a top-tier Alpha with a fit, 180-plus-centimeter frame living in his house.
His hopeless crush on Alphas kicks in, and Duan Jinye winks at the handsome man before striking up a conversation. "Hey, handsome. What are you doing alone in my house?"
The Alpha frowns at him, holding a collar and a whip as he stalks toward him with a grim expression.
"Isn't this what you wanted? Something exciting?"
Eighteen-year-old Duan Jinye turns bright red and flees in a panic.
Only after a friend tells him the truth does he understand what's going on.
The Alpha is named Xie Shixu. He was once the campus heartthrob adored by countless Omegas: kind, handsome, and clever. He was on the verge of being recommended by his advisor for a position at a top corporation, with a limitless future ahead of him...
Until four years ago, someone forcibly took him and made him a private suppressant, kept captive at their side.
Duan Jinye raises his hand. "So if he's in my house now, does that mean I rescued him?"
His friend gives him a long look. "You're the one who imprisoned him."
Duan Jinye: ?
"Young master, be careful. He hates you with every fiber of his being. If he finds out you've lost your memory, he'll make sure you pay."

Duan Jinye doesn't believe it.
But Xie Shixu looks at him with utter disgust. Whenever he's cooking, the sound of the knife grows louder as Duan Jinye passes by, as though he wants to chop him up.
He's even caught the Alpha eyeing the whip, the tie, and the bedsheets, testing which one would be sturdy enough to keep someone from fighting back.
After imagining his tenth story about a protagonist enduring years of humiliation before killing their enemy, Duan Jinye makes up his mind: he's going to run, and he's going to do it fast!
So he refuses Xie Shixu's nightly demand for sex, removes the surveillance he'd set up, sends the man far away, and prepares to flee.
But then, when his heat hits, he ends up in bed with the Alpha, who suddenly comes home.
For three whole days.
Once their frenzy is over, Duan Jinye comes to his senses. He suppresses the tingling sensation throughout his body and stares in confusion at the thick arm locked around his waist.
He seems to... still be alive?

Xie Shixu has been acting strange lately.
He no longer uses the noise of cooking to threaten him. When they run into each other outside, he no longer ignores him. And every night, he insists on collecting his "rent"!
The only thing that hasn't changed is that the man still takes ages choosing an outfit in the dressing room.
At last, unable to take any more of the Alpha's gentle cruelty, Duan Jinye runs away.
At the airport, he hums to himself, planning to hire eight Alphas to heal his wounded heart as soon as he lands.
A pair of long legs enters his view. Duan Jinye looks up to see Xie Shixu, who should have been working late, silently appear at the airport, looking down at him.
For the first time, a gloomy expression mars that perpetually impassive face.
"Duan Jinye, this isn't the way home."
That night, Duan Jinye really does nearly die, in bed.
Two months later, when his friend sees the chat window that's been silent for ages and rushes to Duan Jinye's home, ready to risk everything to save his best friend...
Duan Jinye is sprawled on top of the Alpha, leisurely eating fruit as the other man massages his waist. He even grumbles in dissatisfaction, "Be gentler, or you're sleeping outside tonight."
The Alpha said to hate him more than anything only replies, "Denied."
His friend is stunned.
"Didn't he hate you with every fiber of his being?! What is this between you two?!"
Duan Jinye blinks without the slightest embarrassment.
What's wrong with hating someone so much you end up in bed together?
