The Honest Beta Can't Escape the President's Clutches

Chen Yannong knew she was just an ordinary Beta, with honesty and reliability as her only virtues. An honest person did honest things. Chen Yannong had no ambition and only wanted to live a peaceful life. She never imagined that Nie Ting, a powerful woman of high status, would take an interest in her, let alone that they would fall in love. First love was always beautiful and passionate. Chen Yannong did everything she could to treat Nie Ting well. Even knowing how awful Nie Ting could be, she accepted it all, silently indulging her. She had thought sincerity would be met with sincerity. She never expected it was all false affection, just a game Nie Ting played when she was bored. Without a word, Chen Yannong was dumped. When rumors and gossip spread, Chen Yannong still held out hope for Nie Ting. Even as accusations and insults rained down on her, she kept waiting. That was until Nie Ting sent someone to deliver a nondisclosure agreement. “The young lady said it was a very happy journey, and she’ll compensate you accordingly for your company,” the other woman said with a polite smile. “But every journey must come to an end. Miss Chen, I hope you’ll be sensible and let things end amicably.” Looking at the agreement, Chen Yannong finally understood that she really had been thrown away like trash. But life had to go on, and grief would eventually pass. So when her childhood friend, an Omega, asked her to marry her, Chen Yannong didn’t refuse. She decided to put Nie Ting behind her and start a new life. But just then, one of Nie Ting’s friends suddenly showed up, bundled Chen Yannong up like a present, and delivered her to Nie Ting for her upcoming birthday. Chen Yannong hadn’t wanted to go, but remembering their past promises and how abruptly they had parted, she felt she should bring things to a proper end face-to-face. A simple but festive wedding invitation crossed billions of light-years, delivered to Nie Ting by Chen Yannong herself. She said, “This should be the last time I call you big sis.” “Big sis, I’m getting married.” Chen Yannong thought she’d handled things well, behaving exactly as Nie Ting had asked her to: “sensibly.” But strangely, Nie Ting offered neither exaggerated praise nor approval. Her face was full of barely concealed fury and malice. She tore the invitation to pieces right in front of Chen Yannong and ground out, “Married? You can forget it.” [Nie Ting’s perspective↓] While fleeing an assassination attempt, Nie Ting found a Beta to amuse herself with. The Beta was tough and honest, and Nie Ting could do whatever she wanted without anything going wrong. Just what she liked. The Beta was sensible, too, never asking Nie Ting for things she had no right to, like a title or status. Once the danger had passed, Nie Ting dumped the Beta without hesitation and returned to her life of holding all the power and being adored by everyone. For some reason, after returning to the home planet, she couldn’t shake the feeling that something was missing from her life... It wasn’t until her birthday, when her friend delivered the Beta like a present, that Nie Ting finally found the answer. After a night of pleasure, Nie Ting thought that keeping her by her side might be possible, even if it would be a little troublesome. She never expected the Beta to get dressed and hand her an invitation instead. She said, “Big sis, I’m getting married.” CP: Nie Ting (Alpha → Enigma) & Chen Yannong (Beta) #Content warning: Nie Ting is not exactly a good person. Her life is 99% power and only 1% love, but she wants 100% of Chen Yannong’s love. ## Told in flashbacks, and it won’t be very long. Premise: Live together in harmony and friendship, resolve conflicts, open your hearts, treat others sincerely, and stay positive.
