HE
Jian Qing was afraid of marriage and disliked alphas. He had suffered for ages from his family's constant pressure to get married, so he found a one-and-done solution: a contract marriage with Ming family's rumored impotent, disabled young master.
Ming Xia, lying in a hospital bed, suddenly jolted awake. But he wasn't dead?
Not only was he alive, one leg was disabled, and a coin-sized boil had grown on the back of his neck!
"Young Master, that's your gland! It's swollen because... your heat has started."
"What gland? A lymph node? He's not a dog, so why would he go into heat?"
Ming Xia accepted his fate. He had died on the battlefield one second, then woken up the next in this terrible body, as some kind of alpha who went into heat every so often and had been imprisoned.
But while God had broken his leg, He had opened the door to love. A beautiful omega, like a celestial being, wanted to marry him.
Jian Qing thought he'd found the perfect shield, but Cupid's arrow had hit him right between the eyes. The rumors had all been lies.
After they married, Ming Xia seemed like a different person. His husband's leg was no longer disabled, and he was no longer impotent. Jian Qing discovered that he no longer hated alphas, either!
Jian: "Marry me, and I'll help you gain your freedom."
Ming: "Are you gay?"
Jian: "What's a 'gay'? I'm an omega!"
