"She thought she was pursuing me. In reality, I'd already moved the marriage registry office to my doorstep.", Su Jin says.
"She asked me to write an application. I did. My hand didn't shake when I handed it in.", Duan Xinli says.
"Her hand didn't shake, but I saw the tea spill from her cup.", Su Jin says.
Slow-burn romance, attention to detail, a push and pull between two devoted lovers, and an atmospheric plot.
Su Jin is a Prime Omega. Her pheromones fill the air, and ordinary Alphas lose control when they smell them. Only Duan Xinli can stand at the center of the explosion and hold the last line of defense for her.
Duan Xinli is an Apex Alpha who wears suppressant patches at all times. Her pheromones are completely suppressed, and to the outside world, she appears to be an ordinary A-rank Alpha. It's not that she can't show her strength. She simply can't be bothered.
Under the original rules of ABO in Europe and America, an Omega's pheromones are far more forceful than an Alpha's. An Alpha's mark is never about conquest, but about balance. Only when a top-tier Omega lets you approach can you come close.
At the seaside villa, Su Chi squatted by the equipment room door and called out, "Go, Sister Duan!" Shen Yunqi sat by the window, one braid sticking up. Shen Hegui held a milk tea and chewed the pearls with a loud crunch, while Su Jingchen silently walked away with his briefcase. The supporting cast chattered noisily, while the two of them stayed quiet.
Su Jin didn't answer. She turned Duan Xinli's hand over and let her clasp it. The two stood by the window without saying a word, their fingers loosely intertwined, as if by accident, or perhaps on purpose.
This isn't a story about pheromones overpowering anyone. It's about two people who don't like to talk, but understand everything. A lively ensemble cast, an easygoing pace, and a few little bumps along the way. No angst or frustration throughout~
Theme: Hiding your brilliance isn't only for yourself. It's also to protect what matters more than your brilliance.
""How do you know I am this..." This is a big bug for the author~ Didn't you see it? [Hands together]
