Qin Fangye's wife died when he was twenty-eight.
His wife was an omega perfectly matched to him. Their three-year marriage was a matter of mutual convenience, and they treated each other with respect.
"Qin Fangye, don't tell me you've really fallen in love with me? Don't. You'll only end up miserable." Shi Ting would always say with a smile, repeatedly stabbing him with those words as if he were warning him out of kindness.
In the eyes of outsiders, the young movie star was gentle, gifted, and refined. To Qin Fangye, though, he was a coldhearted, faithless scoundrel who treated life like a game.
But Shi Ting was the one who truly had the bad luck. He fell from a hundred-meter cliff and died.
At worst, Qin Fangye had lost a highly compatible partner, and his pheromones had gone out of control.
Shi Ting was truly free. Qin Fangye felt relieved: he no longer had to worry about some wild man who never wanted to come home.
His wife by contract had a congenital gland disorder, was deaf in her left ear, had only a middle-school education, and had lost both parents. She'd struggled at the bottom of society from childhood. At twenty-two, a talent scout discovered her, and from then on, her career in show business went smoothly.
Amid the chaos and loss of control, Qin Fangye kept wanting to see Shi Ting when he was younger, to find out if his wife had always been so good at getting on people's nerves.
He really was reborn, and saw Shi Ting at seventeen.
Vibrant and youthful, like a spring peach glistening with raindrops, impossibly soft.
So lovable, so easy to feel protective of.
Ever since Qin Fangye transferred to his school, Shi Ting couldn't help feeling dazed. This guy seemed like a huge windfall sent by heaven just for him.
When someone freezing in the cold is suddenly warmed by a fire, there's no way they won't feel something.
Qin Fangye treated him so specially, so well, that Shi Ting couldn't help wondering if this was some elaborate scam designed just for him.
Qin Fangye stood up for him, helped him get his wages back, and found him a better job. At last, Shi Ting could catch his breath under all that pressure and focus on his studies.
"Tingting, do you like me?" Qin Fangye would keep slipping in little lines like that, sounding almost coquettish.
I like you. You're wonderful. Having you as a friend is the luckiest thing that's happened to me in my seventeen years.
Shi Ting couldn't express his true feelings outright, so he dodged the question and teased him instead. "Qin Fangye, you're the most needy alpha I've ever met."
When Shi Ting suddenly started presenting as an omega, Qin Fangye stayed by his side, cared for him at the hospital, got him a suppressor bracelet, and even taught him how to apply pheromone patches and inject suppressants.
His attentiveness made Shi Ting's face grow hot.
Shi Ting had no idea how Qin Fangye, an alpha, knew so much.
Before long, they were eating and living together, and even sleeping in the same bed, wrapped in each other's arms.
Shi Ting knew it wasn't right, but he couldn't help giving in. He just couldn't bring himself to say no to Qin Fangye.
"Baby, I love you." Even Qin Fangye's confession was that direct. He could say such embarrassing things without blushing or missing a beat, as if certain Shi Ting wouldn't reject him.
Shi Ting couldn't bring himself to reject Qin Fangye.
If this really was a honey trap, then he wanted to jump in and see for himself.
