The Dregs is an old-school ABO novel.
It's a crematorium story where an Alpha scumbag mistreats his Omega, then comes to his senses only after the Omega's heart has turned to ash, and the Omega dies unexpectedly in the end.
When Guan Ning wakes up, he finds himself in an epilogue set twenty years after the story's timeline, as the shou protagonist who shares his name.
He has no old flame, and his Omega glands are dormant, but he does have the youngest three-time Best Actor Alpha in history as his son.
Guan. Little Guy. Yuan: Dad, I'm almost twenty!
Guan. No Idea Who the Father Is. Ning: Sure, young man. So who's your biological father?
Guan Yuan: ...I think a few of my uncles are pretty great.
Uncle A: Pick me!
Uncle B: I'm up for it!
Uncle O: If he can do it, so can I!
Zhou Zhuchuan, the cast-off husband: What? My son is rebelling and breaking my heart.
