Lu Chao is an inferior Omega with a damaged gland.
Quiet, gentle, and timid, he is easy to overlook. He is used to standing in the most secluded corners, looking up at the young masters and ladies of the Shen family.
Unlike his own dull, gray self, they are all polished and striking, and Shen Xingmu is the most dazzling of them all.
A top-tier Omega with a pure bloodline, Shen Xingmu is extraordinarily handsome, cool, and composed, without a single flaw. He is the child the Shen family is most proud of. Everyone who has ever met him praises him as the very definition of "perfect."
Lu Chao admires Shen Xingmu.
In the vast Shen household, Shen Xingmu is the only one who shows him kindness, his sole source of warmth in the cold winter darkness.
He sees Shen Xingmu as the reason he keeps living.
Then one day, Lu Chao hears that Shen Xingmu is about to enter an arranged marriage.
His prospective spouse is a notorious and powerful figure from a wealthy family. Though a top-tier Alpha, he was disfigured by fire and is ugly, with crippled legs and a gloomy, violent temper. There was even a scandal about him being exposed for crippling an Omega.
Lu Chao is terrified. So worried about Shen Xingmu, he has nightmares every night, and his emotions eventually collapse. He faints and is taken to the hospital for a thorough examination.
The results show that Lu Chao's damaged gland has changed and can now be repaired. All he needs is to be stimulated by a top-tier Alpha's pheromones, and his Omega rank will keep rising, perhaps even turning him into a top-tier Omega.
Naively, Lu Chao wonders: If he becomes a top-tier Omega, could he take Shen Xingmu's place and marry the person he is supposed to wed?
He doesn't care if he is tortured to death, as long as Shen Xingmu stays safe. His own life isn't worth a thing.
To take Shen Xingmu's place in the marriage, Lu Chao needs to borrow a top-tier Alpha's pheromones.
And Shen Xingmu's younger brother, the Shen family's third young master who often bullies Lu Chao, just happens to be a top-tier Alpha
Late that night, someone knocks on the third young master's door.
He yanks it open in a fury, wanting to see which fool dares disturb his sleep. Then his eyes widen in shock as he stares at Lu Chao.
Lu Chao is wearing thin pajamas, his beautiful eyes lowered, his neck as fair and delicate as fine white porcelain.
He removes the blocker patch from the back of his neck, letting the sweet scent of roses fill the air, and says softly, "Please..."
Gulp.
The third young master hears himself swallow audibly.
Then, almost unable to wait, he grabs Lu Chao and pulls him into his room.
Please note:
1. A universally adored protagonist, the traditionally portrayed Omega; the love interest is Shen Xingmu. The second young master, an Alpha pretending to be an Omega, is an aloof beauty from the start who later turns into a dark, unhinged madman. The protagonist is a gentle beauty who starts out insecure and timid, then lets loose.
2. Not a harem. One-on-one romances at different stages. The love interest and all male supporting characters are virgins; the protagonist is not. There are at least three male supporting characters.
3. The protagonist starts out as an ordinary pretty boy, but becomes more and more beautiful, eventually becoming the most beautiful person in the story.
Theme: Love can create miracles.
