The year the Xu family faced a crisis, Xu Cheng was not yet twenty-two. As an adopted daughter, she was expected to repay the family, so they arranged a match for her with the head of the Song family.
Xu Cheng was young and cheerful, a former tennis player who had retired due to injury. The hand that had once brought her countless victories was left with lasting damage.
An alpha with an injured hand is only good for being rejected.
The head of the Song family, Song Xihe, was born frail, and was aloof, exacting, and self-assured.
She was a prestigious family's omega, like a cold moon over snow, someone no one dared approach.
How could someone like her ever truly take an interest in me?
On the night of their blind date, Xu Cheng thought they would just meet once and that would be the end of it.
She prepared a PowerPoint and carefully introduced herself. The woman was silent for a few moments, then asked just one question: “I heard your injury was serious. Is that true?”
Xu Cheng honestly answered yes, only to hear the woman say, “Let's go. Pre-marital exam.”
???
They were already going for an exam?
Xu Cheng didn't know what to make of it and followed in a daze. But they weren't going to a hospital. They were going to a hotel.
After going through pre-marital examinations again and again, Song Xihe got engaged to her.
The news caused an uproar.
Online commenters mocked her: all she had left was her face. A useless alpha and a celibate, frail omega big shot were doomed to break up.
Friends and family tried to comfort her, saying marriage was all the same, bland and boring.
She understood that it was a marriage alliance, not a love match, and didn't dare hope for more.
But bland and boring was a lie. Getting dumped was the truth.
The woman was frail: she needed coaxing to take her medicine, carrying to bathe, a massage before bed, and exercise after waking up.
If Xu Cheng was too gentle, the woman would kick her. If she was too rough, the woman would kick her while crying.
Xu Cheng was careful and devoted herself to looking after her.
After the family crisis passed, Xu Cheng thought of the look of complaint in the woman's eyes whenever she brought it up, and tactfully suggested calling off the engagement.

Just as the rumors said, Song Xihe was domineering and self-assured, decisive and meticulous in everything she did.
When she heard her fiancee wanted to break off the engagement, she asked why, finding the idea rather ridiculous.
The woman had injured her right hand but was left-handed. What reason did she have to be dissatisfied?
Besides, what did it matter if she was injured? Song Xihe had plenty of ways to manage.
Song Xihe stroked her face. “A Cheng, are you trying to be unfaithful and leave me?”
Xu Cheng blinked. Huh?
*
Song Xihe decided that her fiancee must have too much free time to be imagining things.
She set a time for her to come home every night, assigned her lessons, kept her by her side wherever she went, and monitored her strictly.
A month later, her fiancee was so exhausted that she gave up on the idea of ending the engagement.
They walked down the aisle.
