With her family on the verge of bankruptcy, He Zhi never imagined that she would be the one marrying Yan Congshuang.
There were three reasons.
Her Alpha rank was lower than her older sister's. She had a long, sordid history of affairs. And... she didn't have a rut at all.
An Alpha without a rut was, more or less, unable to have children. He Zhi had always assumed no Omega would ever want her.
Then Yan Congshuang appeared. Holding the He family's breach-of-contract agreement, she asked He Zhi to choose: marry her, or end up on the street.
She was only a few years older, but Yan Congshuang's presence was so overpowering that He Zhi, dazed by her few words, signed her agreement.
After the wedding, He Zhi assumed they both knew this was a business marriage born of necessity.
But on their wedding night, Yan Congshuang held He Zhi's medical report and, for once, let a smile tug at the corner of her mouth.
"Of course, this is just a business marriage."
He Zhi breathed a sigh of relief.
The next moment, a weight dropped into her arms. Pale fingers gripped her chin, neither gently nor harshly.
"But it's only natural that a marriage should meet its wife's needs, isn't it?"
He Zhi was engulfed by a rich floral scent, until she could barely smell her own pheromones.
As time passed, she decided this was a good thing.
Her wife had a strong appetite, and she herself had no rut, so Omega pheromones couldn't affect her.
No matter how often Yan Congshuang clutched her shoulders and cried, He Zhi always remembered what Yan Congshuang had said on their wedding night.
"Giving up already?"
He Zhi had no Alpha pride to speak of, but she didn't want to become worthless.
She had always thought Yan Congshuang married her out of a businessman's love of profit. Later, she realized Yan Congshuang had been planning this for a long time.
