How to Tame an Alpha in Heat

This novel will enter VIP serialization on Thursday, August 8, 2024. Thank you all for your support!

Some people say Alphas are beasts in human clothing: the more restrained and gentle they seem on the surface, the more wild and unruly they are underneath. They have an intense desire to control and possess their Omegas... Lu Yining always scoffed whenever he heard that sort of thing.

He and Ke Ran had been engaged since childhood. They grew up together, childhood sweethearts, and had lived in the same house for nearly twenty years. Their compatibility was as high as 99.8 percent. Their buffs were practically stacked to the max, yet Ke Ran had never once shown any madness or possessiveness toward him. So Lu Yining thought those claims were nothing but ridiculous generalizations.

That was, until one utterly ordinary night, when he and Ke Ran had an utterly ordinary chat. Somehow, one thing Lu Yining said set off Ke Ran's rut early.

Lu Yining was skeptical. "? He's so gentle with me that I suspect he's frigid. I can set him off?"

The doctor said, "He's perfectly healthy. He's just strong."

Lu Yining still refused to believe it. "You're saying his restraint and gentleness are all an act? Impossible. Absolutely impossible!"

The doctor said, "It's really an act. You don't need to look at him through rose-colored glasses. He's just a stonger."

Lu Yining said, "You're the stonger! Ke Ran is the gentlest Alpha in the world!"

The doctor said, "...Medicine is so advanced these days, so why can't we cure people who are lovesick?!"

Lu Yining complained to a friend about what the doctor had said, sounding rather troubled. "It would be nice if Ke Ran would actually feel possessive and controlling toward me for once. Sigh."

Looking at Lu Yining, who was taken care of from head to toe by Ke Ran, his friend had a complicated expression. "He takes care of you like you're his son every day. He practically wants to keep you tied to his side like a dog, and watches you like you're the apple of his eye. And you think he doesn't want to control or possess you?"

Lu Yining said, "Oh, don't put it so badly. I want the kind of possessiveness and control an Alpha has over an Omega, not the way someone treats their son."

His friend said, "But have you ever thought that if you weren't his Omega, he wouldn't take care of you like you're his son?"

Lu Yining thought about it for a moment and decided that made sense. Then he said cheerfully, "So Ke Ran still likes me?"

His friend looked at him as if he were the landlord's clueless son. "...As long as you're happy."

Content warnings: 1. Both the top and the bottom are adults. The romance takes place after the college entrance exam; before the exam, they only study.

2. The top smokes.

3. The bottom makes the first move early on, and the top takes the initiative later.

4. There is a secondary couple: adoptive brothers with no blood relation who are not registered in the same household.

My next novel, The Past Tense of Love, is available to preorder. If you're interested, please add it to your collection!

Zhao Jiayan and Li Qiyan were childhood sweethearts, joined in a marriage between wealthy families. Zhao Jiayan always thought Li Qiyan didn't have much affection for him.

It wasn't until Li Qiyan died of illness that Zhao Jiayan accidentally found a diary at home, filled with Li Qiyan's love for him from childhood onward.

Date: x

I wish Zhao Jiayan liked me. I like him so much, but he seems to hate me...

Date: x

They say someone who appears later can't beat a childhood sweetheart, but Zhao Jiayan is having such a good time with his new friend. Does he not want me anymore? Does this mean we can't even be friends?

Date: x

Zhao Jiayan and I are married. Can he love me?

After waking up back in high school, Zhao Jiayan resolved to make up for every regret from the past.

So his friends saw Zhao Jiayan, who had always been unruly and freedom-loving, suddenly change his ways. He used to treat Li Qiyan with utter disdain, but now he obeyed Li Qiyan in everything.

Before, when Li Qiyan told him he had to rank in the top three in the grade, Zhao Jiayan would sneer, "I'll rank fourth. What can he do about it?"

Now, Zhao Jiayan gazed at him with sparkling eyes. "An'an, I came in second. Do I get a reward? Can I make a wish?"

Before, when Li Qiyan told him to wear his school uniform properly, Zhao Jiayan would say coldly, "It's called having a personal style. What do you know?"

Now, Zhao Jiayan said coyly, "An'an, I can't get my collar straight. Could you help me? I see all the other desk mates helping each other with their uniforms, but I don't have anyone..."

Before, when Li Qiyan told him not to skip class, Zhao Jiayan would call his friends together. "I do what I want. I'm climbing over the wall. Come on, I'll cover the internet cafe fees today!"

Now, Zhao Jiayan said righteously, "What do you mean, skipping class? I'm An'an's well-behaved childhood friend. I don't do things like that. An'an says you should all study hard, so get to class!"

His underlings said, "...Has the boss been possessed?"

Zhao Jiayan said, "What do you mean, possessed? Get studying, all of you. If even one of you comes in last next time, I might not be able to get into the house. Hurry up and study!"

Li Qiyan said helplessly, "When did I ever say that? I just hope everyone studies hard and takes responsibility for themselves."

Zhao Jiayan said, "You heard him. Why aren't you studying?"

His underlings said, "...You can be so self-righteous all you want. While you chase your sweetheart, we'll be doing practice problems."

In their past life:

Li Qiyan: I thought I was the one with a secret crush.

Zhao Jiayan: What a coincidence. I thought so too.

In this life:

Li Qiyan: I thought I was the one with a secret crush.

Zhao Jiayan: Baby, stop keeping your love a secret. Look at me. I'm openly in love with you!

After My Puppy Became a Person

Chen Ye's dog, whom he'd raised for nearly twenty years, died in a car accident. He was devastated and wept uncontrollably.

A week later, he met a handsome young man on the street. The first thing the young man said when he saw Chen Ye was, "Master, I'm your puppy! I've finally found you!"

Chen Ye was dumbfounded. "??? Buddy, I've been single since birth, and I've never tried anything kinky. You can't just claim I'm someone you know."

The young man was so anxious he nearly cried. "Master, I really am your puppy! I'm Xingxing! I'm your puppy! Don't you want me anymore?"

Xingxing was the name of Chen Ye's dog. Looking at the young man in front of him, with chestnut hair and round eyes like glass marbles, Chen Ye's heart softened.

Later, he went online to ask:

#My dog became a person and talks, but it keeps barking. Can it be cured?

#Can dogs eat spicy hot pot?

#Dogs have a keen sense of smell, so why do they like stinky tofu? Doesn't it stink?

#How do I teach a dog to write Chinese characters?

#Why does my dog speak English better than I do?

#If a dog turns into a person and gets bitten by a dog, can they get rabies? Do they need a rabies vaccine?

#Can a person and a dog get a marriage certificate? Which country allows it?

As his questions grew more and more outrageous, the number of highly rated replies below them grew as well:

#Poster, it's been six months. Have you still not seen a doctor?

#Poster, I'm the head of psychiatry at xx Hospital. I sincerely recommend you come in for a consultation.

#Poster, being sick isn't scary. What's scary is refusing to see a doctor.

With the young man in his arms, Chen Ye scrolled through the forum replies and scoffed. Hmph! You lonely dogs, no, lonely two-legged creatures, have no idea how happy I am!

Theme: Treasure your time. Study hard while you're at the age when you should be studying, so you can embrace the right person with an even better future.
