Late at night.

Lu Ningshuang, an Alpha who had just started her job a month ago, was working overtime at the office when she happened to run into a gorgeous Omega in the middle of her heat. Then the two of them...

Had a one-night stand!

Afterward, Lu Ningshuang suddenly realized she was a cannon-fodder Alpha in an ABO novel.

When the female lead, Qin Yushu, went into heat, Lu Ningshuang happened to pass by. The female lead's SSS-class pheromones sent her own pheromones into a frenzy. Then the actual Alpha arrived to help, but mistook Lu Ningshuang for the culprit who had drugged Qin Yushu. Her ending was the kind that involved crying behind prison bars.

By all rights, her role should have ended last night. But now...

Lu Ningshuang stared in silence at the female lead, Qin Yushu, who was lying beside her, already marked, and also her own boss.

Would it still be in time to find a time machine?

As the sole heir to the Qin family, twenty-five-year-old Qin Yushu was capable, beautiful, and graceful. Even as an Omega, she was top-tier, no weaker than any Alpha.

Except... the heat she went through once a month after differentiating was a bit of a nuisance.

One time, when CEO Qin went into heat again, she decided to stop holding back. She picked a younger Alpha at the company, someone from a respectable family, clean-cut, easy on the eyes, and easy to control, to take care of her temporary predicament.

The little A was excellent in every way. CEO Qin was very satisfied, and had developed quite a taste for her. She didn't want to let her go just yet.

The next morning, the domineering CEO Omega summoned the younger Alpha who had fled overnight to her office.

Lu Ningshuang was trembling with nerves.

Qin Yushu made her offer: "Marry me and join the Qin family. For three years, I'll cover all your living expenses, and you'll fulfill your duties as my partner."

Poor Alpha Lu Ningshuang was stunned.

She thought, What kind of wonderful deal is this?

"I'll sign!" She accepted the offer of a comfortable life without a moment's hesitation.

But after they married, Lu Ningshuang gradually discovered that this life of luxury wasn't so easy to enjoy.

For example, CEO Qin would sneak into her room every night. She was a workaholic herself, and insisted on making Lu Ningshuang "work overtime" with her. It practically left Lu Ningshuang completely drained!

"I can't do this anymore, really..."

Lu Ningshuang complained bitterly, but CEO Qin always managed to put her capitalist nature to good use and drag her back into it.

"Ms. Lu." Qin Yushu spoke with her lips against Lu Ningshuang's ear. The cold, dignified face she wore at the office was now flushed with the vivid hue of flowering crabapples.

"Fulfilling the terms of our marriage is your duty. We put that in the contract..."

"You have no choice but to comply."

*

People outside said that CEO Qin had a pretty boy Alpha on her hands. The Alpha was useless in every way, but CEO Qin had been bewitched and doted on her as if she were the most precious thing in the world.

Even Qin Yushu's friends said Lu Ningshuang wasn't good enough for her.

Until one day, a friend came to the company to discuss business and accidentally broke a vase Lu Ningshuang had given her. Qin Yushu was furious and made a huge deal out of a small matter.

Her friend said, "Go ask her how much it cost. I'll pay for it."

Lu Ningshuang said, "Huh? No need, no need. I got it from home. It isn't worth much."

But Qin Yushu still wouldn't let it go. In the end, she had the vase appraised and discovered it was an antique from the Jiachao era!

Her friend: Huh?

Lu Ningshuang: Huh?

"She's actually super-rich, so she took the convenient option of signing up for an annual subscription" Gorgeous CEO Omega, the boss of her partner, x subordinate Alpha who thinks she's poor and decides to live off her rich wife, though it seems she might not actually be poor?

----- Coming soon: After I Let Go, the Black Moonlight Went Crazy for Me

Blurb:

[Passion burns you as it burns others.]

Wen Xia had a childhood friend named Li Zhuoyan.

They had been classmates from elementary school through high school. Wen Xia was a few months older than Li Zhuoyan and had always looked after the beautiful, spoiled, and willful girl.

In their senior year, Wen Xia could no longer suppress her feelings and confessed to Li Zhuoyan.

Li Zhuoyan, who was always clinging to her and acting cute, suddenly pulled her hand away and turned cold.

"Xiaxia, don't do this. I don't like women. I don't want us to end up unable to even be friends."

Wen Xia could only put her feelings away and retreat to the place of a friend. "Okay."

A week later, Li Zhuoyan excitedly approached Wen Xia. "Xiaxia, what do you think of that guy from the next class? He confessed to me. I'm wondering if I should accept him as my boyfriend."

Wen Xia, who was only a friend, fell silent for a moment. "If you like him, that's what matters."

Years passed. Li Zhuoyan's boyfriends came and went, but Wen Xia, her friend, always stayed by her side.

She protected Li Zhuoyan and soothed all her negative feelings.

Until one day, Li Zhuoyan came to Wen Xia again. "Xiaxia, he proposed to me. Do you think I should say yes?"

The name of that "he" had changed again and again. Wen Xia suddenly thought of that summer in their senior year, just as hot and scorching as today, and just as irritating.

Wen Xia suddenly smiled. "Really? Congratulations."

From that day on, Wen Xia, who had been by Li Zhuoyan's side for more than a decade, disappeared from her life for good.

*

Li Zhuoyan's "Xiaxia" was gone!

She ran away from her engagement party, ignoring the groom's furious expression, and searched everywhere for her, but found no trace.

Without anyone to indulge her, Li Zhuoyan put away all her willful behavior. From then on, she gave up on romance and devoted herself to work, as if she had become another Wen Xia.

Until one day, she saw her "Xiaxia" again.

There were no other women by Wen Xia's side, and she still looked just as Li Zhuoyan remembered. But when Li Zhuoyan's face lit up with joy, she suddenly froze.

Wen Xia's gaze was especially cold.

"Ms. Li, we're no longer friends." Wen Xia smiled, her tone nonchalantly mocking. "I do like women, but I don't like married women."

*

After that, Li Zhuoyan gave up everything and chased after Wen Xia like a madwoman every day, just as Wen Xia had done years ago.

Wen Xia remained unmoved and lived her own life.

On a rainy day, Li Zhuoyan brought Wen Xia an umbrella. When Wen Xia turned her down, Li Zhuoyan stood motionless in the rain. The once-proud little princess now looked like a stray dog with nowhere to go.

Wen Xia said, "Ms. Li, how many times do I have to tell you? That was just childish infatuation. I don't like you anymore."

"That's okay, that's okay..." Li Zhuoyan murmured. "Xiaxia, you looked after me for eighteen years back then. Let me repay you twice over now, all right? Three times!"

"Xiaxia, Xiaxia, please. I just want to stay by your side, even if it's only..."

The beautiful, radiant face that had once been so bold now wore a humble, bitter, pleading smile.

"Even if we're strangers in a one-sided relationship."

In the past, Wen Xia had tried day after day to warm Li Zhuoyan's heart. Now the same fate had fallen upon Li Zhuoyan. Her heart was full of wounds, yet she still refused to let go.
