After Gritting My Teeth and Marrying a Powerful Tycoon

[Monthly Subscription Novel]

Uptight older gong x spoiled, fussy shou

Fu Bingwen x Mu Anxu

Mu Anxu was raised to be pampered. Just as everyone, himself included, thought he would enjoy a life of wealth and comfort, the Mu family was on the verge of bankruptcy.

Seeing his beloved parents and older brother weighed down with worry, Mu Anxu decided it was time to do something for his family.

So he accepted a proposal from an Alpha twelve years his senior, whose pheromones were a 99.999% match for his own.

He had only two demands: first, an investment in the Mu family; second, a generous allowance every month.

The Alpha agreed to the first, but not the second.

Huh?

Isn't his family loaded?

Aren't they richer than kings?

Why won't he even give me this little bit of money?

Mu Anxu was furious, but he reminded himself that the man could invest in his family, was handsome, gentle, refined, and easygoing... Surely he wouldn't really refuse to give him spending money!

So he gritted his teeth and decided to marry the Alpha after all.

Before the wedding, the Alpha was gentle, considerate, and generous. But after they got engaged, Mu Anxu discovered that the gentleness and consideration were real, but how could someone so generous before the wedding start controlling his allowance afterward?!

And where did this old fuddy-duddy come from? Get off my husband!

-

The Fu family was strict, and Fu Bingwen, as its head, was especially mature and steady, scrupulously following the rules.

Every step of his life had been planned out, from getting up and eating to his education and career. He was like a precision instrument, doing exactly what he was supposed to at every appointed time.

And according to plan, at thirty, he ought to be married.

Data analysis showed that the youngest omega in the Mu family had a pheromone compatibility rate of 99.999% with him, making him a highly suitable marriage candidate.

So he proposed to the omega who had just come of age.

From then on, his orderly life began to go off course.

Before the wedding, this omega was exceptionally well-behaved. He was a little unambitious, but Fu Bingwen could accept that.

Still, the Fu family was strict. His spouse could not be spoiled, extravagant, or unreasonable under any circumstances.

But...

Even when Mu Anxu was spoiled, extravagant, and unreasonable, Fu Bingwen was perfectly happy with him.

Bonus scene:

Mu Anxu had mentally prepared himself for marital duties after the wedding.

He told himself that they were newlyweds, and the Alpha was already thirty and still a virgin. It wouldn't matter if they did it a few times, he was young and fit, surely he could outlast that old man?

The Alpha had just helped his family through a crisis. It was only right that he fulfill his marital obligations.

It was only right.

It was only right...

But the second time on their wedding night, he couldn't help shoving the Alpha onto the floor with all his strength.

He'd prepared himself for the possibility that one round might not be enough, but nobody told him an Alpha's round would last that long!

Reader's guide:

1. Both leads are each other's first love, physically and emotionally. One-on-one pairing, with strong mutual feelings. No switching or breaking them up.

2. Older gong, with a twelve-year age gap.

3. The bonus chapters include a little mpreg, though it's mentioned earlier too. Please take note if that's not your thing.

4. There is a secondary couple.

5. Set in a fictional world, not a realistic chronicle. All worldbuilding serves the plot.

Also, a recommendation for my currently updating novel, A Cat Is Just a Legend. You can go straight to the announcement.

Taciturn, loyal boxer gong x magazine model cat shou

Everyone knows that Chen Zhenbao, a rising star in the magazine world and fashion darling, has a boyfriend who adores him: boxing champion Chen Mo.

Reliable sources say Chen Mo fought his way up from the underground boxing scene to reach his current position.

Those same sources say he has a cat he adores beyond measure, treating it like the apple of his eye.

Chen Mo has beaten up everyone at the gym who has ever said anything bad about this little cat.

But no matter how hard the media and fans search, they can't find the legendary cat anywhere near Chen Mo.

-

After a magazine shoot, a reporter asks Chen Zhenbao, "Aside from questions about the shoot, I have a personal question for you, Mr. Chen. Would you mind answering?"

Chen Zhenbao nods, holding a heart-shaped lunchbox Chen Mo made for him and wearing a scarf Chen Mo knitted for him. "Sure!"

"This is something I'm not the only one curious about. I'm sure a lot of your fans are too," the host says with a smile. "What kind of cat is that legendary little cat of Mr. Chen Mo's?"

Chen Zhenbao smiles and points at himself. "Me! I'm Chen Mo's little cat!"

The staff around them burst out laughing. Everyone takes it as a joke.

But no one knows that the first thing Chen Zhenbao does when he gets home is turn into a beautiful ragdoll cat, so the cold-faced boxing champion can lie on his belly and cuddle him.

-

Chen Mo once found a scrawny little cat and carefully raised it, treating it like a priceless treasure, though he was prepared for the day it would eventually leave him.

But who could have guessed that when the day of parting came, the little cat would transform in his arms into a beautiful young man?

And that young man would stay by his side as he rose step by step from the gloomy underground boxing scene to the top of the ring.

Theme: Love is the greatest thing of all!
