Taming the Rose

"A gorgeous madwoman who's been pretending to be an Alpha for years x a dark horse loyal dog who plays the pig to eat the tiger" Yu Wen had just transmigrated when a woman forced herself on her. The woman's name was Pei Zhaoyue. She was an imperial princess with immense power, and she'd discovered Pei Zhaoyue's secret. To save her own life, Yu Wen was forced to sign an unfair agreement. 1. Get engaged to Pei Zhaoyue. 2. Keep Pei Zhaoyue's status as an Omega a secret. 3. Whenever Pei Zhaoyue needs it, Yu Wen must provide her with mental guidance. 4. Tell everyone that the two of them are in an Alpha-Alpha relationship. 5... The terms were harsh, but Yu Wen couldn't bring herself to resent Pei Zhaoyue. She found that she was enjoying it. Watching Pei Zhaoyue's face grow ever more alluring and dazed beneath her, Yu Wen resolved to turn their fake marriage into a real one. First, she had to become more capable and help Pei Zhaoyue achieve her ambitions. With wolves circling, she trained twice as hard to clear every obstacle for Pei Zhaoyue. When Pei Zhaoyue's household fell on hard times, Yu Wen used her social skills to recruit talent for her. But lately, Pei Zhaoyue had been getting more and more hostile toward her. Yu Wen rubbed the deep red bite mark on her chin, baffled. They first met at Pei Zhaoyue's coming-of-age banquet. Yu Wen was tucked away in a corner, her mouth full of little cakes. With black hair and dark eyes, she seemed gentle and obedient. The next time they met, Pei Zhaoyue took Yu Wen to bed. Her heat had flared, and her mental strength was on the verge of collapse. She clung to Yu Wen, coaxing her to bite her gland. Yu Wen was half reluctant, half willing. She soon got the hang of it, holding Pei Zhaoyue's gland in her mouth like a puppy with a bone. Afterward, Pei Zhaoyue easily got Yu Wen under her thumb. She was going to bind her to this ship for good. But lately, she'd noticed Yu Wen was becoming a little rebellious. Yu Wen was not only too busy training to be romantic, but also attracting admirers and laughing happily with other people. Pei Zhaoyue's eyes darkened. She gripped Yu Wen by the throat, and, growing angrier by the second, slapped her across the left cheek. In a hoarse, threatening voice, she said, "A disobedient puppy needs to be tied up." To her surprise, Yu Wen offered her other cheek, too, and said ingratiatingly, "Don't be angry, okay? I'll be good. You can have my right cheek, too." ※ Reader's Guide - Power struggle between superior and subordinate / two strong leads / marriage first, love later - The leads are simply into pheromones and cuddling.
