He Went Mad After I Ran Away from the Cold-Faced Alpha

A sly, sweet-smiling schemer of a bottom with a sunny disposition vs. a tsundere, secretly flirtatious, devious top who says one thing and means another

Blurb archived | Mutual redemption, a sweet little romance | Doting on each other

Yu Guixian is an O with little fangs, one of the anomalies registered with the Life Sciences Association. But he's an extremely picky eater, and can barely force himself to eat enough to get by each day. Then one day, he catches a whiff of blood so heavenly it leaves him stunned.

Yu Guixian falls for it.

The bad news: The blood belongs to Ding Yiqi, an illegitimate son everyone loves to hate, rumored to have a vile temper and a long record of misdeeds.

The good news: He's actually an O who's bullied and ostracized!

To get a taste of his blood, Yu Guixian decides to win him over.

After all, he's an O. There's no way he could lose anything!

Yu Guixian helps treat his wounds. Ding Yiqi gives him a cold look. "I don't need your help."

Yu Guixian ignores him, secretly licks a little blood off his fingers, then boldly sticks a bandage shaped like a bear with a perky butt onto him.

Ding Yiqi looks thoroughly disgusted. "So childish."

Yu Guixian comforts him. "Don't let other people make you doubt yourself. I understand how you feel! We..."

"Chew." Ding Yiqi stuffs some food into his mouth. "Be quiet."

Yu Guixian compliments him. "You'd look really good when you smile!"

Ding Yiqi replies coldly, wearing a face like he owes someone eight million. Yu Guixian catches the faint curve of his lips. "Did you just smile?"

Ding Yiqi turns away. "You imagined it."

Later, when Yu Guixian wants blood, Ding Yiqi offers his willingly.

Everything's getting better! Except it's not!

Yu Guixian realizes he can no longer satisfy his growing hunger.

Until one full-moon night, Yu Guixian's eyes turn blood-red, his fingernails grow black and sharp, and saliva slicks his snow-white fangs.

His face is left with nothing but a hollow, inhuman hunger.

Yu Guixian panics. Afraid he'll hurt Ding Yiqi, his first instinct is to cut off his blood supply and hide somewhere no one can find him!

The famous Yu family has moved away from Suicheng. Yu Guixian opens a dessert shop in a tiny backwater town. Then one day, blood covers the entrance, and the familiar scent of iris-scented blood drifts through the air.

A man walks in at an unhurried pace, his expression dark. He raises the wrist he's been bleeding from and smears the blood on his fingertip across Yu Guixian's lips, little by little.

Ding Yiqi lowers his eyes, perfectly at ease.

"If you leave me, will anyone else be able to satisfy you?"

"Go on. Drink."

Overcome by the heavenly scent, Yu Guixian licks his lips and loses control. When he wakes, he's locked inside the office of the Life Sciences Association's top leader, his lower back aching and his gland sore.

That's when Yu Guixian notices the Life Sciences Association president's badge on Ding Yiqi's chest.

He stares at Ding Yiqi, his eyes darting as he puts on a cutesy voice. "Brother Yiqi, I'm sorry! Please let me off!"

Then he swallows, quickly grabs the chain, and adds, "Then why don't you tie me up!" OvO!

Alpha pheromones spill out. The iris scent grows smooth and rich, dense and overbearing as it seizes his breath.

The moment he's overpowered, Yu Guixian gets goosebumps. Only then does he realize there's a complete mark on the back of his neck!!!

Yu Guixian's pupils shake: How are you an A?! This is bad! My butt!

The Life Sciences Association holds the records of all patients with Reversal Blood Syndrome. It exists to research and cure the condition. Its top leader must be an esper with the strongest Life Tree energy of their generation.

Ding Yiqi has spent his life hated by his father, looked down on by his relatives, and ostracized by his peers. Others see him as a monster, both fearing and despising him.

Everyone calls him a worthless illegitimate son who isn't fit to be seen in public. Only he knows that although medical tests classify the gland on the back of his neck as an O's, he has symptoms resembling an Alpha's heat.

And hidden inside his gland are the roots of a Life Tree that was once destroyed.

He will take everything back. He will make them suffer, and make them pay blood for blood.

Everything had been proceeding according to plan, until one day, the young master of the Yu family came strolling up to him.

At first, Ding Yiqi thinks Yu Guixian is being so obvious about seducing him that he must want something. He treats him coldly. Later, when Yu Guixian wants blood, Ding Yiqi offers his willingly.

Ding Yiqi thinks, cruelly and spitefully:

You drink my blood, so you're mine.

Don't even think about running away.

[Upcoming story blurb] A bold, arrogant bottom x a seemingly steady but truly scheming top

Ling Wenyuan has never applied himself to anything. He spends all day hanging out with his rowdy friends, barely scrapes together a college diploma from a no-name second-rate university, and graduates straight into unemployment.

His equally unemployed friends groan and ask how he's doing.

Ling Wenyuan sneers. "A stale flatbread just landed on my face. You guys want this kind of luck?"

Only those who've been approached by their nemesis with a marriage contract know what it feels like.

But who can turn down money?!

Ling Wenyuan grits his teeth and agrees without hesitation. Fine, he'll marry the damn guy.

He's just his nemesis! As long as Lu Che pays him, he'll do anything!

Until one day, Lu Che ends up in bed with him. The next morning, Ling Wenyuan looks at the hickeys covering his body and feels the unspeakable pain...

Holy crap, he can't do this one!
