How Can We Date If We're Different Genders!

Before he transmigrated, Yin Xuan had a very clear understanding of himself: he was gay. After he transmigrated, he became an ordinary male Beta in an ABO world. Naturally, his dating preferences shifted to male Betas as well. After twenty years of being single, he finally found a suitable match through a blind date. Handsome and easygoing, good at entertaining guests and cooking. Aside from being a little rough and fond of biting in bed, and sometimes excessively clingy, he was practically flawless. After seven years together, Yin Xuan planned to propose on their anniversary. But that night, he dreamed of a melodramatic romance. The Alpha male lead had been dating a cannon-fodder character for years, but the latter was a Beta and couldn't be marked. During one heat, the Alpha male lead couldn't overcome his instincts and marked the Omega male lead. From then on, the story became a melodramatic tale of he loves him, he loves him, he doesn't love him... Naturally, the Beta ex was cruelly made into cannon fodder in the end, while the Alpha and Omega leads got their perfect happy ending. As it happened, the Alpha male lead in the story had the same name as Yin Xuan's current boyfriend. And Yin Xuan was the Beta cannon fodder in the story. Yin Xuan was struck like a bolt of lightning. Not because he had become cannon fodder, but because he had never realized his boyfriend was an Alpha. How can you date someone of a different gender! Yin Xuan, realizing it far too late, grabbed his engagement ring and fled with his luggage in the middle of the night. - Xia Beichen originally started dating a male Beta because it would make it easy to leave whenever he wanted. He wouldn't need to worry about being affected by pheromones, there'd be no risk of an unexpected pregnancy, and when he wanted to end things, he could simply say goodbye and walk away without a backward glance. Just as he had expected, his Beta boyfriend of seven years changed his mind, turned on his heel, and ran off without looking back. When they finally met again, love and jealousy, malice and delight, and the desire to dominate and control the other poured out alongside his surging pheromones. But Yin Xuan just looked at him, bewildered and confused, completely unaware. Just like all those nights over the past seven years, when his love had grown ever more intense, and his anxiety ever deeper. He had never been able to truly possess him. But he couldn't stop chasing after him, either. Yin Xuan was no caged bird he could control with his pheromones. He was the lonely moon hanging high in his heart. #Xia Beichen × Yin Xuan: hopelessly lovestruck top Alpha × a Beta bottom who thinks he's perfectly ordinary but is actually a genius analyst. A × B, each other's first love, sweet 1v1 romance. #My take on ABO. B = ordinary people with no pheromones who can't smell pheromones. #A romance-focused writing exercise, set in an imagined future. #I'm too lazy to write out the full terms and might accidentally get them wrong, so the story usually uses the three-letter abbreviation ABO. #Also known as The Love Life of an Ordinary Beta Theme: Love is rational, not bestial
