Li Yang transmigrates into an ABO novel as a disposable Beta, knowing nothing beyond the basic setting.

The good news: As a Beta, he has no pheromones or glands and isn't affected by any Alpha or Omega.

The bad news: His class is full of high-quality Alphas and Omegas. He can smell everyone's pheromones, and all those scents mixed together are like being trapped in a giant garbage dump.

From then on, Li Yang never takes off his mask.

Quite a few crazies in his class pick fights at the drop of a hat and release their pheromones to suppress others. Li Yang puts up with it again and again, until one day, when a high-quality Alpha releases his pheromones, he opens his mouth and throws up all over the floor.

Everyone else trembles under the force of the powerful pheromones. Li Yang is the only one who gets so nauseated he vomits for half an hour, successfully catching the attention of that high-quality Alpha.

When Li Yang goes to the bathroom, he follows. When Li Yang eats, he follows. When Li Yang sleeps, he follows, and every so often stares at him with an expression nobody can understand.

No amount of telling him to go away works, and Li Yang can complain all he wants. He wishes he could weld his mask to his face.

Finally, Ying Xi gets tired of him and stops clinging to him.

Until one day, someone comes to propose marriage, with Ying Xi following behind, his face expressionless.

The Ying family explains that Ying Xi's pheromones are so overwhelming that people can't stand them, and nobody can stay by his side for long. Li Yang is the only one unaffected by Ying Xi, making him the ideal marriage candidate.

Li Yang says, "Don't make things difficult for a Beta."

"You only need to stay with him. High-quality Alphas rarely go into heat, and he takes suppressants regularly, so you won't be in any danger. We'll meet any conditions you set."

As a disposable character, Li Yang doesn't have much reason to refuse. After setting the terms of their agreement, he moves in with Ying Xi.

By day, they are classmates. At night, they sleep in the same bed, with a line drawn down the middle.

Later, one late night, Ying Xi crosses the line and pulls Li Yang tightly into his arms. His warm lips frantically search the back of Li Yang's neck for his gland.

Li Yang covers his nose and mouth with one hand, punches Ying Xi unconscious with the other, and packs his bags the next day, intending to talk things over with him.

But the suppressants don't work. The Alpha completely loses control, his eyes red as he searches the entire room for Li Yang, wanting to mark him.

Li Yang, hiding in the closet, feels like the sky is falling.

Worse, the closet door opens. The Alpha squeezes into the cramped space, hugging him and nuzzling him all over in a daze, despite his usually aloof face.

"Found you, Yangyang. Don't leave me."

Even more terrifying, Li Yang realizes that Ying Xi's pheromones smell good now.

A laid-back Beta who wants no part in the drama and has no interest in love, receiving x a quiet, taciturn Alpha who becomes clingy later, pursuing

Blurb for the next book, Is This Your Booked Cat-Neutering Villain Roleplay?:

Unable to find a job, Cheng Yu starts doing an unusual kind of gig on Xianyu: playing the villain who gets cats neutered.

He has to snatch the client's cat and take it to be neutered, then let the owner rescue it. That way, the cat will love its owner to death.

On the first day of work, Cheng Yu rings the doorbell with a big smile.

"Hello, are you the person who booked the cat-neutering villain roleplay?"

The door opens, and Cheng Yu freezes.

His most famous classmate from high school doesn't recognize him and steps aside to show him the lazy cat lying on the floor.

"Will it give us away?"

Cheng Yu puts on a mask. "Probably not."

The roleplay begins. Cheng Yu viciously snatches the cat and rushes it to the pet hospital.

Strangely, the cat is well-behaved the whole time, not resisting at all and constantly acting cute.

The first job is a success.

A week later, Cheng Yu is surprised when his old classmate sends him a video, looking troubled.

"Hi, didn't you say my cat would cling to me like crazy after I rescued it?"

"I think my cat hates me now. T.T Could you come over and take a look?"

In the video, the cat angrily swats at his old classmate. His strong arms are covered in vivid red scratches.

Cheng Yu hurries over.

The cat, who was furious with its owner, calms down at the sight of him, sits obediently, and lets out a soft "meow."

His old classmate gives him a complicated look. "...Could I hire you for two months of follow-up visits, until my cat likes me again?"

Cheng Yu has no idea what went wrong, but awkwardly says it's the least he can do.

He keeps trying to repair the relationship between the man and his cat.

By the end of the follow-up visits, the cat can't bear to be apart from Cheng Yu, and neither can its owner.

The man and the cat sit crouched at the door, staring at Cheng Yu pitifully.

The cat begs cutely, and its owner holds the cat and begs along with it. "Can't you stay? Meimeng says he wants you to be his dad."

"My partner."

Cheng Yu: "...Huh?"

Cheng Yu: "Okay... sure."

An earnest, clueless straight guy who doesn't know how cute he is, receiving x a seemingly gentle gentleman who is actually devious and calculating, pursuing
