Beta: You Still Don't Love Me Today

[Ancient Setting, Alpha Top and Beta Bottom, Strong/Weak, Old-School Angsty Mpreg]

[Alphas are Qian, omegas are Kunze, betas and yonghe]

Song Ji is a universally disliked yonghe.

But when he was sixteen, the prestigious Song family took him back in.

His father wanted to arrange a marriage for him and asked if he had someone in mind.

He knelt on the ground for a long time, begging his father to marry him off to Shen Mingyi, the brilliant top scholar from a humble family who was making a name for himself.

Shen Mingyi stood tall and elegant, addressing his father neither obsequiously nor arrogantly. "I already have someone in my heart. Brother Song and I are only classmates. I'm afraid I must decline."

His face twisted as he glared at the Kunze hiding behind Shen Mingyi. Though born a commoner, this Kunze was Shen Mingyi's destined match. The hand hidden in Song Ji's sleeve was covered in blood. But when Shen Mingyi looked his way, Song Ji once again put on his usual sweet and obedient expression, pretending to accept it as he said:

"I was asking too much. I hope Brother Shen and the one you love will be together forever."

Yet his delusion took root and grew wildly in his heart, driving him to spend a fortune to obtain a Gu that would force Shen Mingyi to love him.

He would never forget the shock and heartbreak in Shen Mingyi's eyes as he collapsed.

It doesn't matter. Song Ji curled up in Shen Mingyi's arms.

I say we're destined for each other, so we are.

.

Shen Mingyi was as gentle as jade and bright as the moon.

The world admired him for saving countless people from disaster through his own efforts, but few knew that the wife he had once treasured had always been toying with him.

When the lie was exposed, Shen Mingyi thought he would hate Song Ji. After all, Song Ji had deceived him and crushed his pride and dignity.

But later, when he found the heavily pregnant Song Ji, who had been missing for a long time, in the slums,

he could only swallow his heartache. His usual easygoing manner gone, he held Song Ji firmly in his arms, his expression dark.

"Come home."

Song Ji curled up in Shen Mingyi's arms, pale and no longer his usual unruly self. He clutched his belly, not daring to move.

The beloved, good-natured genius who becomes terrifying when angry, a stunning Qian alpha top, versus a gloomy, obsessive, insecure yonghe beta bottom who knows he's wrong but won't change.

[Reader's Guide]

1. Both are virgins; happy ending. Pheromones are called "spirit fragrance," scent glands are called "fragrance glands," a match rate of over 90 percent is called a "destined match," and the rut is called a "heat tide."

2. This is not a sweet story. It's an old-school angsty story with mpreg.

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

4. The author has let loose. There's angst everywhere and plenty of shocking twists. (Emphasis added.)

5. The author loves angst and writes everything according to personal preferences. Readers with strong preferences about tops or bottoms should proceed with caution. This gets intense.

6. The story undergoes major revisions after Chapter 61, so the text may not match the comments.

[Chapters 22-27 are locked retroactively. Readers who have already read them, please purchase with caution.]

I won't delete comments from my dear readers. If yours was deleted, it may have been removed by a moderator~

P.S.:

I looked into the rules, and it seems bonus chapters can't be updated while the story is on the rankings. They can only be posted after it leaves the rankings, so I'll post the ones I've written then.

My Ex Became My Master and Taught Me How to Behave!

Launching in mid-November

Beloved genius top versus foolish, wicked bottom

#No one taught you to be a good person, so your ex becomes your master and teaches you properly#

Xie Lang was lowborn and had terrible spiritual roots, but he dreamed of becoming one of the greats in the cultivation world.

At eighteen, he obtained a System that could steal other people's fortune. Just as he was about to rob and kill, a lunatic in a mask locked him up.

The lunatic had his way with him both in and out of bed. He acted like no human being, yet went mad every day trying to teach Xie Lang how to be a good person.

Hah!

To escape, he swallowed his hatred and placated the lunatic, pretending to be deeply in love. He only found his chance after giving birth to the bastard child.

Overjoyed, Xie Lang headed for the cultivation world's greatest sect with the System, vowing to become one of the greats, then kill the lunatic and the bastard child to avenge his humiliation!

*

At the apprenticeship ceremony, Xie Lang spotted the master he had already set his sights on.

This man was named Wen Si, the senior brother of the inner disciples of Wangxian Sect. Dressed in red like a blazing fire, he was dazzlingly handsome and carried himself with haughty confidence.

Yet when he looked at the baby in his arms, whose birth mother was unknown, his eyes brimmed with tenderness.

Xie Lang stepped up to Wen Si and knelt, putting on a well-behaved air. His expression was utterly sincere. "This disciple, Xie Lang, has admired Immortal Lord Wen for a long time. I beg you to accept me as your disciple. I will devote myself to cultivation and uphold the righteous path!"

Silence fell over the entire hall.

Holding the child Xie Lang had dreamed of strangling, Wen Si gently stroked Xie Lang's dark hair. With all the earnestness of a good master, he said, "From now on, I will make sure to teach you well."

*

Wen Si was born with immortal bones and came from a distinguished family. He was a genius admired by all.

In his previous life, however, his ungrateful dao companion, Xie Lang, stole his fortune and left him to die a tragic death.

He couldn't even save his only child.

In the dead of night, he rose and looked at his former dao companion, who was cowering beside the bed. He kicked the black iron chain and asked with a beaming smile, "Disciple, why are you afraid when you see your master?"

Xie Lang threw himself into Wen Si's arms, crying and trying to fool him, but it was no use anymore.

This story is written to the author's preferences and has lots of potential triggers. (Scratches head)
