After the Cool, Sickly Beauty Marries Their Archrival

[Affectionate, shameless, doting bad-dog top x cold-faced, adorable, frail beauty bottom] Pei Yuheng passed the imperial examinations with top honors at sixteen and entered the court as an official. He was a renowned cold, sickly beauty in the capital. Lou Yuan, once an uneducated wastrel, has reinvented himself. He commands a powerful army and enjoys the court’s deep trust, yet remains as reckless and domineering as ever. Even the dogs in the capital know that Pei Yuheng and Lou Yuan are sworn enemies. They were rivals even as classmates. Whenever they meet, Lou Yuan always taunts and provokes him, while Pei Yuheng merely gives him a cold look and refuses to engage. When the Lou family fell into disgrace, Pei Yuheng not only kicked them while they were down, but even caused the death of Lou Yuan’s closest elder brother. Rumor has it Lou Yuan swore he would make Pei Yuheng pay in blood one day. When news came that Lou Yuan was returning to the capital, everyone was certain Pei Yuheng was in for trouble. Pei Yuheng kept things simple: if he couldn’t afford to provoke Lou Yuan, he could at least avoid him. But there was no way he was afraid of Lou Yuan. Who could have guessed that the muddleheaded emperor would make matters worse by issuing an imperial decree, declaring that Lou Yuan and Pei Yuheng were a perfect match and ordering them to choose an auspicious day to wed? People in the capital gleefully gossiped about the “sworn enemies tying the knot.” They were sure the sickly Pei Yuheng would be humiliated in every way and wouldn’t survive three months. - A Kunze must submit to others and cannot serve as a court official. Pei Yuheng had aspired to become a good official since childhood, so he had no choice but to pretend to be an ordinary Zhongyong. There was no way to undo the imperial marriage decree. Worried and frustrated, Pei Yuheng tried to set some ground rules with Lou Yuan and make them a couple in name only. But Lou Yuan refused. Instead, he pursued Pei Yuheng as if he truly were the love of his life. He brought flowers, meals, and jewelry, and took him on outings and boat trips. Pei Yuheng turned him down coldly again and again, yet somehow Lou Yuan always got his way, leaving Pei Yuheng blushing and flustered. After getting a taste of success, Lou Yuan only pushed his luck further, closing in on him step by step. He guarded Pei Yuheng like the apple of his eye, refusing to let anyone say a bad word about him and always rushing to the front whenever trouble arose. He never stopped with the blunt sweet talk, and every day he wanted to hold hands or hug him. He was clingy to the extreme... In the end, he even handed over his entire fortune as betrothal gifts! Pei Yuheng could barely keep up. In a daze, he thought, This man acts so well, even I’m almost starting to believe him. They did get married. Then, after an accident brought Pei Yuheng’s dew period early, he ended up in bed with Lou Yuan. The tall, solidly built man pinned him down, gripping his chin and kissing him until his lips and tongue went numb and he could barely breathe, as though he wanted to devour him whole. On the verge of breaking down, he heard Lou Yuan coax him gently: “I knew you were a Kunze... Don't be afraid of me.” “You don't have to suffer anymore. I'll be your medicine.” From then on, Pei Yuheng could no longer retreat. Held in Lou Yuan’s arms, he could only listen to one obscene remark after another and respond through his tears. He couldn’t run or hide. All he could do was beg. Night after night, he was tossed in a sea of desire, completely soaked in Lou Yuan’s rich pheromones. Lou Yuan, a bad dog who couldn’t understand a word he said, bit him everywhere: the back of his neck, his collarbones, and even more intimate places. Before one mark could fade, another covered it. - The world only knows that Lou Yuan and Pei Yuheng were at odds for years. No one knows it was all an act for the public, or that Lou Yuan always held Pei Yuheng in the deepest place in his heart. In their previous life, chaos suddenly engulfed the land. They were separated and each pursued his own path. Yet even when Pei Yuheng died coughing up blood, they never managed to see each other. After Pei Yuheng’s death, Lou Yuan thought of him and missed him for years, but could never get a clear answer from him again. Now that he has been fortunate enough to live again, Lou Yuan refuses to be separated from him by life and death again, longing for a dream he can never have. He is willing to give up everything, asking only that Pei Yuheng live a long life, that all go well for him, and that he never suffer even a trace of hardship from this chaotic age. He also begs for a lifetime together, never to part again. Reading guide: 1. Powerful minister and military commander vs. upright scholar-official.

When he opened his eyes again, he had become an Omega with the same tragic fate as himself. A mother who died young, a biased father, a malicious stepmother, a company on the verge of bankruptcy, a perverted stepbrother, and poor little him. On the second day after being reborn, Xie Chengxin accidentally learned that his father and stepmother wanted to send him off to an old man. The not-so-clever Xie Chengxin could only run away. The only person he could try to rely on was the famously capable Second Young Master Yan. He came from a wealthy family, was outstanding in both looks and ability, and was the S-class Alpha with a 99.8% compatibility match with Xie Chengxin: Yan Heng. He was also Xie Chengxin’s fiancé, though “ex” could be added before “fiancé” at any moment. – Yan Heng had always known he had a fiancé. He knew the man was timid and rather stupid, and spoke so little he might as well be mute. Although his fiancé’s compatibility with him was very high, he had never taken it seriously, and didn’t think he could ever like an Omega who had nothing going for him but his looks. But before he had a chance to call off the engagement, his fiancé came looking for him. The beautiful Omega, with black hair and snow-white skin, had been caught in the rain. His long hair clung to his cheeks, and his white T-shirt was soaked and stuck to his body, outlining his slender waist. He looked up at Yan Heng, lips trembling. He couldn’t get a single word out for a long time, but his eyes had already reddened, as if brimming with tears. Yan Heng thought he looked like a poor, fragile little white bird. And Yan Heng was a good person. So even though he didn’t like him, he immediately decided to take him home. – Yan Heng realized that Xie Chengxin wasn’t just hopeless at daily life; he was unbelievably stupid. The first time Xie Chengxin saw an elevator, he nearly cried in fear. He clutched Yan Heng’s sleeve and refused to get in. Yan Heng had no choice but to take the stairs, then carry him up nine flights. As soon as the smart home system spoke, Xie Chengxin grabbed his arm and was so frightened he finally found his voice. “There’s a ghost,” he sobbed. He knew nothing about modern technology, as if he were from ancient times. He couldn’t recognize many characters and could only read half his own name. He was timid and cried easily, and even needed someone to coax him into speaking. To Yan Heng, poor Xie Chengxin was an incredibly troublesome idiot. The problem was, the idiot was so beautiful, so good at acting sweet, and always looked at him with such admiration. Yan Heng soon figured out what he admired about him In Xie Chengxin’s eyes, Yan Heng was a master dog trainer and a legendary Taoist priest. He could make a little round dog with no legs sweep the floor, and control ghosts, too. He was skilled with all kinds of magical artifacts, could send his voice and image thousands of miles, and even summon rain with a wave of his hand. After learning this, Yan Heng looked at Xie Chengxin’s sparkling eyes and, for a moment, didn’t want to tell him the truth. Yan Heng thought Xie Chengxin couldn’t live without him. The idiot should be grateful that he was his fiancé. Later, Yan Heng began to feel grateful that he was Xie Chengxin’s fiancé, and that Xie Chengxin had fallen in love with him, too. Thank goodness for their compatibility, long live pheromones. His beloved Xinxin was the best in the world. – When Xie Chengxin first moved in with Yan Heng, he was scared. He was afraid of all the unfamiliar things in Yan Heng’s home, afraid Yan Heng would think he was too stupid and troublesome and kick him out. Most of all, he was afraid Yan Heng would hit him. Yan Heng looked really fierce when he wasn’t smiling. But Yan Heng was patient and accepting. He would give Xie Chengxin the stars and the moon, spoke softly, and never got angry no matter what mess he made. When Yan Heng cupped his face and quietly called him Xinxin and Baby, Xie Chengxin felt that Yan Heng loved him more than anyone else in the world. There were a few exceptions When Xie Chengxin sobbed and tried to run away, only to be grabbed by the ankle and dragged back, then bitten on the back of the neck, while Yan Heng called him Xinxin in a low voice and told him over and over that he loved him. Xie Chengxin thought dazedly: Honey, could you maybe stop loving me for today? Reading guide: 1.
