In high school, Shi Xuan came from a poor neighborhood. Orphaned and without parents, he was a beta with a lovely, innocent face, blessed with a decent talent for cultivation at an elite academy.
He lived as he pleased. After the gentle Second Prince saved him, he fell madly in love and boldly pursued him, undaunted by their difference in status.
But reality was harsh.
Shi Xuan dated the Second Prince for a month before being used and dumped. The Second Prince remained a prince, while Shi Xuan was once again cast adrift on a garbage planet. After being injected with pheromone drugs, he changed from a beta into an incomplete omega, giving off a foul, low-grade pheromone scent.
Shi Xuan finally came to his senses. If he tried to outsmart the royal family, a hundred of him still wouldn’t be enough to match them.
Given a second chance, Shi Xuan held the admission letter from the Central University of the Interstellar Empire and changed his appearance until he looked utterly ordinary.
But he ended up sharing a dorm with his ex-boyfriend’s older brother, the Crown Prince.
Shi Xuan often saw the Second Prince drinking himself into a stupor and mumbling about his ex, acting as if he were still deeply in love.
But Shi Xuan felt nothing but indifference.
This time, he wouldn’t cross the line again.
It all came to a head during a trial, when Shi Xuan was maliciously induced into heat in front of everyone on the training grounds. His pheromones and appearance were inevitably exposed.
The Second Prince’s eyes were bloodshot as he hurried over to find Shi Xuan. But Shi Xuan was already held in someone’s arms. The Crown Prince held him and stared coldly at his younger brother before turning and walking away.
After his identity was exposed, Shi Xuan found himself dealing not only with swarms of admirers and the Second Prince warning everyone else away, but with another problem as well.
The Crown Prince always protected him and drove the Second Prince off, but he also constantly needed large amounts of Shi Xuan’s pheromones.
Shi Xuan failed to notice the Crown Prince’s gaze growing ever more restrained, or how his pheromones seemed to take on a tangible form, enveloping him in an intense scent that seemed ready to erupt.
At night, the Crown Prince caressed Shi Xuan’s peaceful sleeping face, his voice low and aching.
“Xuanxuan, how about you forget him and look at me instead?”
People were always drawn to the scent of Shi Xuan’s pheromones, only to find him surrounded and entangled in the Crown Prince’s pheromones from head to toe.
The Second Prince was the one who went the most insane.
Later, Shi Xuan asked the Crown Prince how he had recognized him.
He simply replied, “I knew your scent before I knew your pheromones.”
P.S. New love interest story, with some healing. The original love interest pursues his ex after the breakup, but it ends in tragedy.
Theme: Sincere love can move anyone.
