Deliberate Tenderness

[The male unrequited-love story Trial Period Romance is currently serializing!]

[Romance ABO story Fated (Good Girl & Rotten Gentleman) is seeking follows. Blurb below.]

/Free-spirited heiress VS gentle, meticulous wolf in sheep’s clothing/

Chen Nian'an went to the wrong private room for a blind date and said a bunch of nonsensical things to a devastatingly handsome man.

When she realized what had happened, she “calmly” ate a piece of bubble gum to suppress her panic, then relied on the special skill she had honed since childhood to walk away with an indifferent expression.

But for some reason, after that, she kept running into the handsome man in all sorts of places.

Chen Nian'an (confused): “What exactly are you trying to do?”

Sheng Qiuyi (smiling): “I want to marry you.”

With a contract in hand, Sheng Qiuyi promised that the marriage would only be to placate their parents’ pressure to wed. After marriage, they would each get what they needed and stay out of each other’s business.

Fine. After a brief consideration, she accepted his proposal, tired as she was of her family’s endless nagging about marriage.

Then came the engagement, the wedding, and everything proceeded according to plan.

When Chen Nian'an realized she had fallen for his tenderness and said she regretted their contractual marriage, the man who had always indulged her finally stopped smiling for the first time.

“An'an, what’s wrong?”

“Have I not treated you well enough?”

His voice was soft, but beneath it lay a tightly repressed calm.

“An'an, you should know that I’m not going to let you leave.”

#I am so vile, trying to cage a free bird of the forest in the shackles of an ordinary marriage

#Deliberate tenderness, only a disguise to get close to you

Probably a light, sweet story about falling in love after marriage. Both leads are virgins.

[Good Girl ✖ Rotten Gentleman]

Lan Yu is a beta who has no intention of marrying. She studies and works in the capital on her own, diligent and content with her lot.

One day, a friend invites her over to their house.

Her friend comes from a very wealthy family, is a sweet, soft omega, and is dating an alpha from an equally prominent family.

As luck would have it, her friend’s partner has also invited a guest over that day.

Lan Yu sits in the living room and looks up. Against the light, she sees a tall alpha standing on the staircase.

She catches only a fleeting glimpse. His presence is so imposing that he clearly isn’t an ordinary man, so she hurriedly looks away, not daring to provoke him.

But she still remembers his name: Zhou Lian.

-

Later, Mr. Zhou and Lan Yu happen to cross paths at work.

Though he isn’t as haughty and aloof as she had privately imagined that day, the moon in the sky is still the moon in the sky, high and out of reach.

Lan Yu still instinctively keeps her distance from him.

That is, unless she had not been sitting on his lap while in heat that day.

When the heroine is a beta, she doesn’t grow any strange parts. The story simply uses the setting of glands and heat cycles. Later, she will undergo a second differentiation and become an omega.

Theme: Love and growth.
