After the Skin-Hungry Beauty Married by Contract

Yun Hui, the handsome eldest son of the Yun family, suffers from a condition that makes him crave skin-to-skin contact. He is aloof and withdrawn, and is ordered to marry in place of his younger brother. His marriage partner, Yu Sihan, is notorious in their social circle for his volatile temperament, vindictiveness, and vicious methods. Yun Hui is worried. Fortunately, Yu Sihan is busy with work and social engagements, so the two rarely see each other, and Yun Hui is the only one living in the villa. One day, Yun Hui's condition suddenly flares up, and he makes skin-to-skin contact with Yu Sihan for the first time. The warmth where their skin touches makes him shiver. It is the first time Yun Hui hasn't recoiled from physical contact with someone else. In fact... he even likes it a little. Their ambiguous touches soon spiral out of control. From fingertips brushing to lips being touched; from hands to calves, then to the small of his back... The contact meant to ease his condition grows more and more excessive. But later, due to unforeseen circumstances, the cooperation between their families is called off. Yun Hui understands that their marriage can no longer go ahead, and moves out in the middle of the night. To escape the withdrawal symptoms brought on by Yu Sihan, he goes abroad alone to seek treatment. His new doctor is a handsome, sunny mixed-race man, patient and attentive. But before the treatment has been underway for long, Yu Sihan appears silently beside his bed in the middle of the night. His towering figure and dark, indistinct eyes in the night press down on Yun Hui until he can barely breathe. The man's burning palm parts the collar of Yun Hui's pajamas and slowly strokes the delicate, soft skin of his neck. Yun Hui trembles again and again. His usually cool, handsome face is flushed red as blood, and tears gather at the corners of his eyes. "What's the point of looking for someone else? Who but me could touch you until you're like this?" "The treatment won't take half a year. I'll cure you tonight." "Also, the cooperation is over, but the wedding isn't." * Bonus scene: His lover's body is incredibly sensitive. For the first time, Yu Sihan finds himself at a loss. Just a little touching, and he's already a complete mess... He leans in and nibbles the earlobe of Yun Hui, who is crying his eyes out, his voice tinged with exasperated cruelty. "Is that enough for you? How are you going to handle what comes next?" * Yu Sihan first saw Yun Hui at a university in the United States. The beautiful musician was being touched by someone in the restroom, then started coughing and gagging uncontrollably. His snow-white face was flushed red like a flower in full bloom. Yu Sihan watched for a long time, his greedy, voyeuristic gaze licking over him. He got hard. He wanted to touch him. - It seems like a loveless marriage between two cold people, but it turns out they nearly break the bed at night. - It looks like a case of falling in love after marriage, but one of them had planned it all along.

Please add it to your reading list. Yun Ying is an omega with a defective gland, and his family is poor. He's also withdrawn and gloomy. At least he has good grades and a good face. Lately, he's been paying extra attention to his alpha roommate, Cheng Yan. Cheng Yan is tall and handsome, the basketball team captain and vice president of the student council. He comes from a great family and is popular with everyone, a darling of the gods surrounded by admirers. He's the polar opposite of gloomy Yun Ying. What's so great about this guy, anyway? I'm not like those omegas who go crazy the moment they smell pheromones! Yun Ying thinks viciously. He resolves to find Cheng Yan's flaws, so he starts following him around to see if he visits any shady places; secretly photographing him to compare which angles make his face look less handsome; and eavesdropping on his conversations to check whether he swears... Later, Yun Ying even starts eyeing Cheng Yan's clothes. I wonder what his pheromones smell like, to make so many people fall for him... They must stink! Then one day, Yun Ying receives a text from an unknown number. Attached is a photo of him curled up on his dorm bed, clutching Cheng Yan's clothes, his face flushed and his legs pressed tightly together. Yun Ying's legs go weak with terror. Another message arrives: "If you don't want Cheng Yan to find out, put on the dress I sent you." * With tears in his eyes, Yun Ying carries out all sorts of bizarre "tasks" for the anonymous sender, while anxiously trying to unmask the villain. His two other roommates are the most likely suspects. One is gentle and warm, generous and friendly toward Yun Ying. The other is aloof and haughty, and seems to despise him. Yun Ying remains completely stumped, unable to uncover the culprit. This person is so wicked and cunning! * What Yun Ying doesn't know is that while he was following Cheng Yan, a shadow had already latched onto him. On many silent nights, that shadow turns him over and over in his sleep, thoroughly working him up. The person frantically licks and bites the back of his neck, trying to mark it with his scent. But it always fails, driving him mad. Highlights: 1. There is a true love interest. 2.
