Jiang Houyi is an S-rank alpha: broad-shouldered, long-legged, talented and handsome, but excessively old-fashioned. He has a beautiful omega fiancée from a family of equal standing, He Zhen.
Jiang Houyi is very dissatisfied with this arrangement.
He Zhen is a flirt who has affairs everywhere and neglects his proper duties. He is simply not the kind of person who would make a good wife and mother.
Jiang Houyi plans to break off their engagement in a year.
But less than six months later, He Zhen, who had been vacationing on Thirteenth Star, suddenly returns to the capital looking distraught. He seems to be fleeing something terrifying. Gone is his usual arrogant air. He speaks softly and begs Jiang Houyi to hold the wedding immediately.
Seeing the beautiful omega with tears in his eyes, holding a meal from the convenience store to pass off as a home-cooked lunch, Jiang Houyi lets the words about ending their engagement roll around in his throat, but ultimately doesn’t say them.
Actually… as long as He Zhen changes his ways, Jiang Houyi can forgive him.
As for being a good wife and mother, He Zhen can learn that gradually after they marry.
But as the wedding approaches, He Zhen goes missing again.
Fine, Jiang Houyi thinks as he stands alone at the altar. He doesn’t care about that promiscuous omega. Not one bit.
…
Li Yi’an is a handsome interstellar thief. A few years ago, he received a mysterious commission to seduce an omega named He Zhen, then play the controlling lover at the right moment and drive him away.
Li Yi’an pulled it off. He and He Zhen fell in love, and when their feelings were at their strongest, he insinuated himself into every corner of He Zhen’s life, making him uncomfortable and even afraid.
Just as planned, He Zhen ran back to the capital.
But the beautiful He Zhen, the adorable He Zhen, the affectionate He Zhen kept circling in Li Yi’an’s mind.
At last, just before He Zhen’s wedding, Li Yi’an appeared again. He apologized, admitted his mistakes, and sweet-talked He Zhen into leaving his old-fashioned fiancé and eloping with him.
On the third day after they returned to Thirteenth Star, He Zhen disappeared.
Li Yi’an searched for He Zhen day and night for a whole month, without a trace.
A month later, Li Yi’an found several missed calls from the same number on his phone. He called back, and a stranger’s voice answered, “Hello, may I ask who’s calling…”
Irritated, Li Yi’an gave a cold laugh. “You’re asking me? You called me today. What do you want?”
The unfamiliar man on the other end fell silent for a moment, then laughed too. “I didn’t make this call. Maybe someone at home was playing a prank. I’ll ask him.”
There were several tearful apologies, followed by some rather intimate panting from the other end of the line. Li Yi’an couldn’t make out what was being said.
The man came back, his voice a little hoarse but still polite and courteous. “I’m very sorry. Someone at home dialed the wrong number and caused you trouble.”
The call ended. Li Yi’an suddenly felt dazed for a moment. He realized that the voice on the other end sounded exactly like the voice of the mysterious client from a few years ago.
…
Jiang Houyi has known for a long time that He Zhen doesn’t like him.
He acts as though he doesn’t care, but in his heart, he’s already hopelessly in love with He Zhen.
He can’t help it. He has to resort to a few little tricks.
