Alpha Bait

(Marriage first, love later; young general x perfumer)

Jiang Mianhuai's life was ruined by his friend Yan Yunqing. His work was stolen, he was framed, and he was thrown into a wormhole in space, where he narrowly escaped death.

He thought he wouldn't survive, until someone entered the wormhole and walked toward him against the light.

Jiang Mianhuai instinctively clung to the man's leg, his voice weak and thin. "Save me. I'll do anything you ask."

"Anything?" The man bent down and leaned close to the back of Jiang Mianhuai's neck, almost crossing a line as he inhaled his scent.

Feeling the pressure of a powerful Alpha, Jiang Mianhuai trembled as he answered, "Anything."

Jiang Mianhuai was brought out of the wormhole, but the price was marrying the male Alpha who had saved him.

News that General Caso, the most sought-after man in the galaxy, had married on a whim set every forum ablaze.

The general's spouse, whom everyone was curious about or maliciously speculating about, turned out to be an Alpha too, and a perfumer with a terrible reputation.

Not long before, a genius perfumer named Yan Yunqing had become famous. The perfume he created, Rain Turns to Mist, swept the galaxy and became its most popular luxury product. Everyone looked down on the general's spouse and went out of their way to praise Yan Yunqing.

As a result, when General's Spouse Jiang Mianhuai launched his subsequent perfume line, suppressants, and nutritional supplements, they were met with fierce opposition and skepticism. Still, some people tried them and were so astonished that they became obsessed. The general's spouse's products gradually took the galaxy by storm.

The general's spouse made a complete comeback and had Yan Yunqing sent to a galactic prison for theft and intentional injury.

Only then did everyone learn that Yan Yunqing was a despicable scoundrel. What made them feel most sorry for anyone was the innocent Jiang Mianhuai, the general's spouse who had been falsely accused and insulted for so long.

By then, Jiang Mianhuai had successfully taken his revenge. Drunk, he stumbled into Caso's arms. "General, I don't understand why you made that decision back then."

"Because there's a scent on you that moves me even more than pheromones do."

"Hm?"

"My wife, you smell so good. Let me smell you again."
