After Turning into an Omega, I Married My Archrival Before Falling in Love

After a car accident, A University's campus heartthrob Shen Xizhu wakes up to discover that he has gone through a second differentiation, from Alpha to Omega. Worse, his gland is covered in bite marks. Searching through his fragmented memories, he can only recall that he seems to have a "boyfriend."

Looking at Jiang Linchuan, who is standing by the bed with a cold expression as he wipes his hands, Shen Xizhu hesitantly asks, "You... you're my boyfriend, right?"

But the handsome, tall young man in front of him pauses, then gives a cold laugh.

"Shen Xizhu, did the accident damage your brain, too?"

Faced with the doctor's diagnosis and a pheromone compatibility rating of 99%, Shen Xizhu is convinced that the other man is his boyfriend. It's just that his boyfriend has a bit of a temper. During his second heat, he swallows his embarrassment and moves closer. "Could you... bite me again?"

But his "boyfriend" grits his teeth, his gaze dark.

"Keep flirting with me, and you'll have to face the consequences."

As they spend more time together, Shen Xizhu gradually realizes that his boyfriend has it all: a great figure, a handsome face, and a kind, considerate personality. He's wonderful to him in every way, aside from occasionally being stubborn, sharp-tongued, and a little tsundere.

Then, on the eve of their engagement, Shen Xizhu is horrified to discover that he and his "wonderful boyfriend" used to be mortal enemies. Worse, he once pointed at the other man's nose and called his pheromones rotten wood.

He tries to run, but Jiang Linchuan corners him against the wall.

"You got marked and now you want to run? Too late." Jiang Linchuan's canine teeth brush against his trembling gland. "Run away again, and I'll make sure all you can smell on yourself is rotten wood."

When his mortal enemy undergoes a second differentiation and becomes an Omega, Jiang Linchuan hasn't even had a chance to speak before the other's single word, "boyfriend," chokes off every insult he had ready.

Faced with the doctor's diagnosis and a recommendation that they temporarily live together to stabilize their pheromones, Jiang Linchuan agrees without a second thought at first.

He gloats, thinking that at last the once-great Shen Xizhu has to come crawling to him for help.

But he never expected that...

Shen Xizhu would pass by after a shower, damp hair draped over his shoulders, and say, "Your pheromones smell so good."

When he gets sleepy watching TV, he'd tug Jiang Linchuan's sleeve and ask, "Can I lean on you for a bit?"

And when his pheromones spill out during a late-night heat, he'd call him "big brother."

Jiang Linchuan grits his teeth and suppresses every impulse, telling himself it's all an illusion. That is, until Shen Xizhu really disappears on the eve of their engagement.

In that moment, all the carefully hidden feelings Jiang Linchuan had been trying to contain are laid bare. For the first time, he's truly afraid.

Only then does Jiang Linchuan realize that from the very beginning, he hadn't approached Shen Xizhu just to win.

It was because in those eyes, Shen Xizhu held all the unspoken affection Jiang Linchuan had felt as a boy.

"You say you've lost your memory, but I'm the one person you remember."

"Doesn't that mean that even if you forget the whole world, you still... like me a little?"
