After the Sickly Beauty Failed to Pass as a Beta

Ever since waking up in the ruins and successfully blending into the world thousands of years in the future, Mo Yan had been perfectly content with his life as a member of a research institute. His only concerns were experiments and papers.

But one day, it came to light that the identity he had borrowed was not that of a beta, but of an omega who had yet to present.

Overnight, his dorm filled up with pheromone cards sent by alphas, along with “declarations of protection” from omegas and betas. Social media also ground to a halt because of him.

Mo Yan was bewildered and uneasy.

Why was everyone so worked up over an omega?

Or had they discovered that he was an ancient human?!

Just as he was agonizing over how to fake his pheromones and keep his identity under wraps, Sheng Lianxi, his archenemy from school and now a hugely popular interstellar movie star, suddenly showed up at his door.

“I know you’re an ancient human.”

“I need someone to marry me and act as a shield.”

“Don’t worry. I absolutely won’t have any improper thoughts about you.”

“After all, you don’t have pheromones, so you can’t leave mine on you.”

After weighing the pros and cons, Mo Yan gladly agreed, and they registered their marriage that very day.

With his identity problem resolved, Mo Yan had nothing left to worry about. He wished he could spend the rest of his life in the lab.

But gradually, he noticed something strange about Sheng Lianxi.

The man suddenly started buying him flowers, taking him to private movie screenings, and poring over old books to ask what dishes he liked...

Mo Yan thought he was just trying to cultivate an image as a doting husband, until one day he saw the man bring home the latest model of a whole-house sterilization system. At last, he realized something was wrong.

He fled back to the lab in the middle of the night, but as soon as he locked the door, he was caught in a familiar embrace.

Sheng Lianxi rested his breath against the back of Mo Yan’s neck, his voice tender.

“A Yan.”

“I want to leave my pheromones on you forever.”
