A Perfect Match Becomes Bitter Enemies (Matriarchal Society)

Shen Mingyuan thinks her ill-fated relationship with Su Zhaoyun all began because she had too much free time when she was young.

On the day her elder sister broke off her engagement to Su Zhaoyun and sent him away to cultivate in seclusion, she just had to meddle and go see him. When he was crying so hard his face was streaked with tears, she impatiently blurted out, "Stop crying. How about I marry you?"

What goes around comes around.

Because of that one sentence, she and Su Zhaoyun were entangled for their entire lives, going from a perfect match to a bitter couple. Even after they die, they'll probably be at the top of the list of worst imperial couples for a thousand years, at the very least.

[Quick Guide]

1. Male lead is a virgin; female-dominated setting, men can give birth, but this isn't gender-bender. The heroine will take other consorts.

2. A melodramatic, angsty story, not a sweet romance. All the sweetness at the start is fake.

3. Bad ending, bad ending, bad ending.

4. See the author's note in Chapter One for more warnings.

Coming soon: A Fight with Your Archrival Means You Have to Get Married [Gender-Bender]

Jian Yi's archrival, Bo Siyan, takes the stage to give a speech.

Usually, she would deliberately heckle him and embarrass him.

But this time, Jian Yi stays silent, lost in thought.

Her friend asks what's wrong.

Jian Yi gives an awkward smile.

She can't exactly say that she'd agreed to duel Bo Siyan, but then...

She'd temporarily marked him.

Who knew Bo Siyan was an Omega?!

Bo Siyan would rather reveal that he's an Omega than let her off the hook.

Jian Yi strongly suspects Bo Siyan did it on purpose.

The Federation's laws protect Omegas in every possible way.

After marriage, if an Alpha so much as lays a hand on an Omega, they'll be sent to prison, shipped off to a garbage planet, and put to hard labor, the whole package.

Bo Siyan is just trying to exploit a loophole so he can steal first place in her combat class!

But there is a way out.

To protect Omegas from emotional neglect too, the law says that if the couple hasn't fully marked each other after one year of marriage, the marriage is automatically dissolved.

Once the year is up, first place in combat class will still be hers, Jian Yi's!

Who knew that on their wedding night, Bo Siyan would stop Jian Yi as she headed for the side bedroom to sleep.

"What are you doing?"

"What are you doing?"

They spoke at the same time.

Then Bo Siyan's potent pheromones flooded the room.

Jian Yi: "You didn't use a suppressant!"

The once high-and-mighty young nobleman was curled up on the bed, the corners of his eyes damp, panting softly. "You already agreed to marry me."

So why would he need a suppressant?

Only then did Jian Yi realize:

Bo Siyan hadn't been after first place at all.

This guy was after her?!!

[Quick Guide]

1. One-on-one, both virgins, happy ending.

2. Gender-bender.

3. A heroine whose every thought is about coming first x a hero whose every thought is about the heroine.

4. Written as archrivals, read as a guy with an unrequited crush. The heroine isn't a bad person. She's enemies with the hero because when they first met, he was dripping with arrogant aristocratic vibes ( ).
