Let's Break Up

[Gentle but assertive producer gong x sensitive, insecure, sickly beauty concept artist shou]

Mu Lin has poor health and falls ill every time the seasons change.

One evening, he is hospitalized with a high fever. The next morning, after his fever breaks, he wakes up in his hospital bed. Xie Anjing gently kisses his forehead and asks with concern, "Are you still feeling unwell?"

Mu Lin shakes his head. "I'm feeling better. Why didn't you go to the office? Won't it affect your work?"

Xie Anjing smiles and reassures him. "It's fine. Just get some rest."

But not long after, Mu Lin learns that his direct supervisor and boyfriend, Xie Anjing, who is also a game producer, has been reported for neglecting his duties and slacking off.

The reason is that Xie Anjing didn't go to the office during the game's latest update and worked remotely instead, causing a game bug.

After a long silence, Mu Lin takes the initiative to tell Xie Anjing after he's discharged, "Let's break up."

Reading Guide:

Set in a major internet company. The game bug isn't the gong's fault.

The main story starts when they first meet. The shou is frail and often ill. He won't make a full recovery, but he'll live to a ripe old age.

Happy ending, both are virgins. No years-long separation, no melodramatic misunderstandings, and neither character is perfect.

Status difference trope. The gong is a devoted lover, and he's the only one for him.

[Omega x Enigma]

Ruan Shuyang always thought his fiance, Pei Siming, was his salvation. He never expected him to personally hand Ruan Shuyang over to a cruel Alpha who liked to maliciously mark Omegas.

After finally escaping, he accidentally hears Pei Siming sneer to a friend, "Ruan Shuyang? With a lowly background like his, I'd feel dirty just touching him."

He stumbles away and accidentally crashes into the arms of a stranger "Alpha."

His pheromones are in disarray, and his heat unexpectedly arrives early. Suppressants are completely ineffective.

The "Alpha" gives him a temporary mark.

Cold dewdrops cover the lily of the valley, even its most delicate stamens.

Ruan Shuyang thinks that once the temporary mark fades, he and the strange "Alpha" will never cross paths again.

But a few days later, his body begins craving the other man's pheromones against his will.

Nectar seeps from the lily of the valley, yearning desperately to be watered.

He develops pheromone dependency.

Suppressants can't overcome the craving in his body, so he secretly starts asking around about the man.

To his surprise, the man is Pei Siming's half-brother, the Pei family's true heir, and the eldest young master of the wealthy Pei family, Pei Siyue.

What's more, after becoming an Alpha, the other man undergoes a second differentiation, turning into an extremely dangerous Enigma who can even mark Alphas.

In the top-floor office at the headquarters of Pei Group,

Ruan Shuyang sobs and trembles, trying to escape the Enigma as he marks him.

"No, no more..."

The Enigma's pheromones are powerful and domineering, making the Omega's frail body suffer terribly.

Pei Siyue's husky, intoxicating voice rings in his ear, impossible to resist. "Bear with it. It'll be over... soon."

Wah, wah. You said the same thing last time, but it took forever.

Ruan Shuyang protests inwardly, but the Enigma's pheromones invade him, leaving him so limp that he can't get out a single coherent sentence.

**

Pei Siming never expected to see Ruan Shuyang again at the Pei family's celebration.

The Omega he'd never cared about, whom he'd treated like a plaything, seems like a different person. The lily of the valley looks as if it has received the very best watering.

Ruan Shuyang has bright eyes and snowy skin, nestled sweetly in the arms of Pei Siming's older brother, Pei Siyue.

Pei Siming's eyes instantly turn red with rage.
