The Mint-Scented Beta Lady

Set in a fictional world unrelated to reality. Please don't draw parallels with the real world.

Qian Anbai is a beta mercenary barely scraping by. Lured by the generous pay, she resolutely accepts what looks like a simple bodyguard job.

Yes, all she has to do is guard an omega heiress for a week. Easy!

But after just a few carefree days, her employer triggers a pheromone disorder in the middle of the street.

They both end up in the hospital.

Thanks for asking. She regrets it now... She should've run from the start. Being greedy never ends well!

When her employer eagerly asks to extend the contract, Qian Anbai refuses righteously, then immediately takes a long-distance escort job.

Now they can't run into each other again, right...

But could someone explain why the omega getting swatted away by an invading Insectoid looks a lot like her former employer?

Would it be wrong not to rescue her when she's in a mech...

Unfortunately, this employer seems to have a very important identity. Qian Anbai is taken away along with the troops who arrive to rescue them, and she even misses the ship home.

Can she get a refund for her ticket? She's pretty broke...

Memories of the past come back to haunt her. Faced with Zuo Yufei's invitation this time...

She happily accepts. Now she saves on travel costs and can even earn money!

That's right... Qian Anbai looks at the desolate planet where she was forced to land, and at her weak omega employer, whose gaze has gone hazy...

Saving money~ Sure, it saves money. If you lose your life, that's a hundred percent off, right?

How can a beta survive on a desolate planet with an omega in heat, when they have no suppressants and no food...

Oh~ my goodness~ I almost forgot about you, my old friend. They also have a mech that's about to fall apart...

Thanks for asking. She should've run from the start. Being greedy never ends well!

Hey, didn't she already say that...

As expected, the only lesson humanity learns from history is that humanity never learns from history.

The omega will bottom for love. Moved?

Qian Anbai: "Not moved. I just want to run."

Content warnings:

If you dislike beta and omega pairings, don't read.

Since people have asked, here's a quick note: the protagonists are both BO, so the setting mostly follows the original ABO rules, without many added personal inventions.

Plot-focused, slow-burn romance.

The characters' values do not represent the author's.

Average writing. If you don't like it, stop reading in time.
