A Marriage to Bring Good Fortune

New novel seeking advance readers: The Campus Heartthrobs Faked It Until They Made It

Jiang Luye thought he was destined to become a formidable beta who would rule his corner of the world.

He'd punch out the KTVs and kick in the doors of shady internet cafes. No matter who the toughest kid on the block was, they'd have to call him boss.

He never imagined that on the very first day of his eighteenth year, he would present as an omega.

To make matters worse, his deadbeat father sent him to a rich family to bring them good luck.

He Zhen had only been in a car accident. When he woke up, he had somehow acquired a legal spouse.

His little wife was pretty, sure, but he had no idea how to stand or sit properly, cursed like a sailor, and had absolutely awful grades.

Unfortunately, He Zhen had injured his glands, and his little wife's 99.99% compatibility seemed to make him the only solution.

What on earth had he done in his past life to deserve such a born rebel?

Divorce wasn't an option, so he could only grit his teeth and start reforming his little wife...

Excerpt

Jiang Luye: Stay away from me. I'm about to go into heat.

He Zhen beckoned, and his assistant brought over a box of suppressing sprays.

Jiang Luye: Does that stuff work? Make sure it isn't expired.

He Zhen also fastened a restraining collar around his neck.

Jiang Luye: What if the battery dies? I'm young and gorgeous, and you're an old fossil who hasn't gotten any in thirty years.

He Zhen: Get the young madam a tutor to teach him sex education, then pour him a glass of salt water to rinse his mouth.

Later...

In the throes of his heat, Jiang Luye wriggled all over He Zhen, then sobbed and tried to bite his restraining collar.

"You old bastard, He Zhen! Is it really so hard to just like me a little?"

A beautiful but miserable, cowardly-tempered shou x a rich family's old beast of a gong

Advance reader blurb: The Campus Heartthrobs Faked It Until They Made It

The campus heartthrob at No. 1 High School is Xie You, a handsome, smart, good-natured model student. The omegas at school line up to marry him, but he just had to present as an omega himself.

"Xie You, I like you. Will you let me be your omega?" His 10,086th admirer confessed.

"Thanks, I appreciate it, but I'm an omega."

"Xie You, if you're going to reject me, at least come up with a better excuse. How could you possibly be an omega?"

It's not my fault my pheromones smell bad. Hey, you there, would you do me a favor and play along for a minute?

"Let me introduce you. This is my boyfriend."

Xie You: "I think it's time we put on a little breakup show."

Lu Zhizhou: "People in the group chat are starting to talk about pouncing on you again. I think we'd better feed them some sugar."

The next day, someone secretly photographed the two campus heartthrobs embracing behind the school.

Xie You: "Exams are coming up. Let's cancel our dates for now."

Lu Zhizhou: "We still have to go on dates. They won't be able to focus on their studies unless we give them enough heartbreak."

The next day, someone else spotted the two campus heartthrobs feeding each other fries at the burger joint across from the school.

Xie You said, "Lu Zhizhou seems aloof and quiet, but he's very helpful in private (only to Xie You). He's well-behaved (when Xie You is around), respects the elderly (Xie You's grandma), and loves children (Xie You's dog). He's a great guy, so don't bully him."

Later...

Xie You, rubbing his lower back with a world-weary look: "Who hasn't been blind once in their life?"

Gentle, refined top-student campus-heartthrob omega shou x scheming campus-heartthrob alpha gong who plays the pig to eat the tiger

We're kissing, hugging, and lifting each other up, but we're just pure, wholesome best bros.

Theme: Study hard and make progress every day. Turn the tables against the odds.
