The Beautiful Omega Pretending to Be a Social Butterfly

Yin Cu is an omega from a poor, remote region.

He carries the lingering freshness and resilience of his distant homeland, and his beauty transcends both his gender and social class.

Even his social-butterfly ways and undisguised ambition radiate a powerful allure that makes the aristocrats fall for him.

Everyone except Gu Linsheng.

-

Gu Linsheng is the most powerful Alpha in the empire.

Handsome and a decorated war hero, he is so cold and unfeeling that he may as well be a solid block of ice. He has crossed paths with Yin Cu many times, deliberately or otherwise, and every time he finds him impossible to ignore.

Like at the empire's victory banquet.

Yin Cu is eagerly courted by every notable there. Even princes and nobles come and go at his beck and call.

Like a deadly butterfly that never pauses for any flower, he brushes past Gu Linsheng, leaving a dark, intoxicating scent on his uniform that lingers long after he's gone.

Or when Gu Linsheng returns victorious from another star system.

Yin Cu is bound hand and foot and forced to kneel before him, charged with gathering information. The nobles are so eager to claim him that they willingly tell him all kinds of secrets.

Yet Yin Cu merely presses himself obediently against Gu Linsheng's military boots, pleading his innocence as pitifully as he does with the other nobles. His lips part and close, beautiful enough to seem like an invitation.

And more than anything, he's impossible to escape, no matter when.

Yin Cu's name keeps reaching Gu Linsheng's ears amid a steady stream of rumors: how sweet and alluring he is, or how he welcomes anyone who comes along.

Every rumor sinks into his heart like a thorn, filling him with an anger and restlessness he can't explain.

-

Gu Linsheng hates Yin Cu.

At first, he can't understand the source of his hatred. He has the strongest self-control, and coldly, violently suppresses his physical reactions. For years, he has even felt a visceral revulsion toward the scent of omegas.

Then one day, during his heat, he suddenly catches the fresh scent of roses, and his pupils contract.

It's Yin Cu's pheromones.

At that very moment, the beautiful butterfly trespasses into his territory.

He remembers nothing of what happens after that.

Only that all his hatred and jealousy finally burst out in a frenzy, leaving the social-butterfly omega to weep and tremble in his arms.

And no matter how relentlessly he takes what he wants, the omega can only arch his back and give in, softly pleading for him to slow down.

-

Yin Cu never appears in public again.

Only on rare occasions can the nobles who once went mad for him glimpse the beautiful omega in Gu Linsheng's arms, held close by his possessive embrace, his broad shoulders shielding him completely.

Even so, late at night, Gu Linsheng's canines graze Yin Cu's gland as his hoarse voice spills over with terrifying possessiveness. "Who exactly were you looking at today?"

Yin Cu breathes softly, clings to his chest, and answers with a clingy, aggrieved sweetness. "You."

"Only you."

No one knows that in the days when Yin Cu moved among countless nobles and notables,

he would pin them down by the throat, his slender, snow-white fingers far stronger than an omega's should be. With a beautiful, lethal smile, he would say, "Come on, tell me everything about Gu Linsheng."

He was the only light that had kept Yin Cu going all those years.

The faith etched into his bones.
