Gentle, abstinent Red Dragon Alpha * Bold, willful, tsundere Omega, no accessories
*
The first time Xi Yanzhi met Song Zhaoyu, the latter had just drenched her rude second aunt in red wine.
This young heiress, worth tens of billions, was dazzling and outspoken, the heir apparent. In reality, she was surrounded by wolves, beset on all sides.
Her power, wealth, and status all depended on her being able to present as an Alpha.
Unfortunately, Xi Yanzhi knew Song Zhaoyu's fate: she would definitely present as an Omega, then be abandoned by everyone and die alone, with no one to rely on.
So Xi Yanzhi stayed by Song Zhaoyu's side and helped her reclaim, inch by inch, everything she deserved.
She trampled over contempt, betrayal, and schemes by her own blood relatives, climbing higher with every step.
She had calculated everything, but failed to account for Song Zhaoyu falling for her.
On a warm winter night, Song Zhaoyu cornered her on the sofa. The young woman's eyes brimmed with glittering tears, her sharp spirit undimmed. She whispered in Xi Yanzhi's ear, pleading, "Big Sister, you've helped me so much..."
"...Could you also teach me how to kiss?"

After Xi Yanzhi had accomplished her mission and withdrawn, she thought the feelings of youth were just a passing infatuation, and that one day Zhaoyu would forget her.
But the Omega deliberately went without her suppressant and went into heat at the mall.
Her pheromones spread wildly, driving countless Alphas out of control. Song Zhaoyu's eyes were red at the corners; her kisses came with bites. Crying, she taunted Xi Yanzhi with a smile. "You cowardly bastard, you don't even dare to mark me."
"You're just going to watch me get taken by someone else..."
Xi Yanzhi sighed.
In that instant, Song Zhaoyu's world spun. The dragon hoisted her onto her shoulder, unleashing an overwhelming presence. One by one, all the frenzied Alphas stopped, then knelt in stunned silence and submitted reverently.
Xi Yanzhi carried her through the crowd of kneeling people and said, "That's enough."
The pungent scent of blood and fire filled Song Zhaoyu's nostrils. The dragon's hand clamped hard around her waist as she said in a husky voice, "Song Zhaoyu, I can't hold back anymore."
That night, the Alpha held her, brushed back her hair, and kissed the sweat-damp nape of her neck. "For the next thousand years, ten thousand years, don't even think about leaving my side."

Only later did Zhaoyu learn that Red Dragons were the oldest and highest-ranking Alphas.
Her castle was piled high with mountains of gold and silver. She had multiple degrees and more connections than she could count. She had seen countless people, but none were like the duchess who had once come to her with a gold coin, stroked the dragon's scales, and offered her a little smile.
She had endured thousands of heats alone, waiting for her duchess.
