A haughty, high-and-mighty Omega young master who's actually a spoiled, dramatic wife × a seemingly down-and-out Alpha who's actually a scheming, fatherly type pretending to be poor
Xu Zuomian has been married to Lu Jiming for six years. As partners with highly compatible pheromones, he stood by Lu Jiming as he went from an unknown nobody to a promising young CEO. Anyone would call theirs a heartwarming love story.
Before they even reached the seven-year itch, an illegitimate child from Lu's family showed up and threw an intimate photo in Xu Zuomian's face, claiming Xu was nothing but a substitute. Xu glanced at the photo, AI watermark still visible, then turned around and tossed Lu Jiming divorce papers.
"Since things aren't working between us anymore, I wish you all the best."
Lu Jiming tore up the papers in front of him. "Take all the money. I'll leave with nothing."
Xu Zuomian didn't care. He'd never been short of Alphas, even growing up. He figured he'd just enjoyed a relationship and could move on to a new life. Except, yeah, right.
Before that new life even began, word reached him that Lu Jiming had gone bankrupt and his assets were being auctioned off.
His once-glamorous ex-husband really had become penniless, and came begging at Xu's door:
"Honey, it's all a misunderstanding!"
Xu Zuomian: "Who are you? I don't know you. Leave the package at the door."
He thought this was just another one of Lu Jiming's usual tricks to keep clinging to him, but Lu Jiming seemed to have truly become flat broke.
He went out for coffee and found Lu Jiming working as a waiter.
He ordered takeout and found Lu Jiming working as a delivery rider.
He visited his company and even found Lu Jiming had become the new security guard?!
Rumors spread throughout the company. Everyone said this was some kind of marital roleplay.
Only Xu Zuomian knew Lu Jiming really asked him for two yuan whenever he wanted to buy a bottle of water.
"Honey, I'm so broke I don't have a single cent left. Can you really bear to abandon me?"
The clingy big dog was impossible to get rid of. He also loved snuggling up to Xu Zuomian when he was half-asleep, rubbing his canine teeth against the soft nape of his neck.
His overpowering pheromones made Xu's eyes well up, and he just wanted to kick the dog away. But the physical attraction left him completely unable to move.
Lu Jiming: "We haven't even signed the papers. We're still married."
Who said we're married to you!
Xu Zuomian had planned to play along with Lu Jiming for a couple more days before finding someone new. Then he discovered a whole stack of black cards hidden in a gap in the safe.
Xu Zuomian: "Didn't you say you didn't have a single cent?"
Lu Jiming: "There's not a cent in here either, honey."
Realizing he'd been played, Xu Zuomian flew into a rage and stormed off to a bar, specifically requesting a young, handsome male college student to soothe his anger.
He'd barely had two drinks when Lu Jiming appeared out of nowhere, dressed like a professional male model.
Lu Jiming: "I'm your handsome young boy, here whenever you call, young master."
