Su Youze had been with Rao Xu for eight years.
To the outside world, he was the ruthless, decisive head of the Su family.
In private, he did only one thing: wait for Rao Xu to give him a proper place in his life.
Rao Xu was a Beta, with no heat cycle and no pheromones.
He could turn everyone else away, yet he wouldn't acknowledge Su Youze or let him go.
Until one day, Su Youze discovered a file titled "Archived."
A list of seven relationships marked for termination. The final line read: Su Youze, complete isolation, never notify.
He thought Rao Xu didn't love him enough.
"Can you tell the difference?"
"Betas don't have heat cycles. So every step of my love is a conscious choice."
Theme: Betas don't have heat cycles, so every expression of love is a decision made with clear eyes. An Alpha willingly bows his head, building his entire inner world around another person.
