A Guide to Pretending to Be an Alpha in Online Dating

I'm recommending my friend Xingxing's ABO school story, A Soothing Balm for a Violent Alpha. The blurb is at the end. It's so good~! My own Infinite Town [Infinite] is also underway. You're all welcome to check it out! [Blurb:] Gu Xingchuan is a Beta who's allergic to pheromones and often makes bold remarks that skirt the edge of being a straight-Beta supremacist. As a top-tier star game streamer, he trends for negative hashtags more often than minor celebrities do. One day, while practicing his skills, he picked up a terrible Beta student in a game, the sort who spends money like a reckless young master. His student's gameplay was "brain-dead," but everything he said sounded like he was flirting with Gu Xingchuan. Begone, you temptress! Brandishing his banner that he would definitely marry a Beta in this life, Gu Xingchuan cautiously extended a little paw toward his student. The two of them often chatted until midnight, acting just like a couple. So Gu Xingchuan made a location-tracking app, planning to surprise his terrible student with an in-person meeting. At the busiest cafeteria entrance on campus, Gu Xingchuan waited expectantly, until he realized the red dot on the app overlapped with that top-tier Alpha childhood friend who had dropped into his life not long ago. Gu Xingchuan: ... Feng Lin froze: Is there still time for me to make excuses? Have you heard? That quiet Beta from Class One of the Law Department at S University, who's always in the disaster zone, even took first place in the national solo amateur tournament for Gun King! Come on, is that even news? The campus's top Alpha is getting a helicopter flyover for his fan support. Who else can top that? Feng Lin in his classmates' eyes: cold, powerful, taciturn, a top-tier Alpha with an equally top-tier family background and looks. Feng Lin in Gu Xingchuan's eyes: terrible at games, hopelessly addicted, shy and quiet, a rare, sweet noob in the online gaming world. Feng Lin: What part of me is top-tier? Gu Xingchuan: ...Sorry, I'm blind. #AfterPickingUpATrashStudentInAGame #EvenStraightBetaSupremacistsGetTheirDayInTheSun #TheMoreSecretIdentitiesYouHaveTheHarderYouCrashAndBurn "The stars landed on the ship, and you landed in my heart." *!! Reader advisory: There is no unrequited-love rival! The so-called "first love" in Chapter Five gets resolved right away! (Shouting, then dropping to my knees!) Lots of game content, but it's simple and easy to follow! A top-tier online game streamer who doesn't exist in real life but can do anything online (bottom) VS An Alpha who is explosively dominant in real life, but plays at being an Omega or Beta online, a top-tier socialite (top) A few things up front: 1. ABO pairing, boy x boy. 2. Gu Xingchuan really is handsome, his bangs just conceal it. 3. Strange pairings is a series. The protagonists may interact with each other. 4. Strange pairings means unusual in every way, including but not limited to gender, occupation, and age (within legal and ethical limits).

Ruo Xing Ruo Chen, A Soothing Balm for a Violent Alpha ABO, school, sweet romance [Cold tyrant Alpha top, hard everywhere, vs. Omega bottom who's soft everywhere and can't help causing trouble] Chongzhi High School is divided into East and West campuses, split by a road that separates the East Campus's privileged elite from the West Campus's poor but respectable families. As the heir to the head of an Alpha clan, Wen Zhizhi is adored by everyone and stands above them all. He has a gloomy, violent temper and gives the masses nothing but his cold back. Later, that back appeared in Shitian's fanfiction. [Wen Zhizhi, even the coldest Alpha is hot, hard, and burning down there.] The story spread throughout the school. Then Wen Zhizhi cornered Shitian at the entrance to the West Campus. Shitian: "...Please, please respect creative freedom QAQ" Wen Zhizhi: "Oh? Does it say I'm 'as thick as a child's wrist and can go seven rounds a night'? " Shitian: "qwq It was a joke. Don't tell me you can't take one..." Wen Zhizhi: "Then let's have some fun." Shitian: "No, no... Damn it!" Wen Zhizhi is a formidable Alpha with unmatched bloodline and family background, but even after reaching adulthood, he has never smelled a pheromone he likes. He often suffers from physiological thirst so severe it gives him headaches. Until he happened to meet a little Omega: lazy, beautiful, and so good at writing steamy stories he seemed outrageously seductive. But when he was pulled into bed, his eyes turned red and he was on the verge of tears. "M-my mom won't let me sleep with an A..." "Still feeling seductive?" "N-no. I'll punish myself with three drinks qwq..." His eyes were so pure that Wen Zhizhi's feral instincts surged. All he could do was coax him softly: "Then, how about just one kiss?" A little later, Shitian: Weren't we only going to kiss?! You trashy man!
