He’s just learned that his original self provoked someone he shouldn’t have: Yin Chuming, the Federation’s future star. Newly arrived in this world, Shi An inherits not only the original owner’s memories and meager personal belongings, but also a huge mess he’s expected to take the blame for? The thing is, Shi An has a secret problem from his previous life: severe face blindness. So what did the people the original owner had offended look like again? One day, someone blocks Shi An’s way. Confused, he asks, “Do I know you?” Yin Chuming’s inner thoughts: ...You just got me kicked out of our group project, and now you don’t even recognize me? Yin Chuming is a heaven-blessed prodigy, an elite Alpha at the Federation’s top military academy. His life has always gone smoothly, but a rigid, inflexible beta managed to ruin everything and delay his entry into the military. He’s definitely going to settle the score with that guy! But can someone explain this to him? If that guy named Shi An isn’t blind, why has he shown up in front of him so many times, asking his name every single time? Is he really that arrogant? Later, Yin Chuming’s pheromone dysregulation flares up, and a sweet, unfamiliar omega takes him in. The omega helps him get safely through the darkest, most agonizing hours. The omega disappears the next morning. Yin Chuming searches everywhere, and every clue points to Shi An, the guy he’s always been at odds with. Yin Chuming refuses to believe it. How could a bad-tempered, stubborn, face-blind beta possibly be the omega whose pheromones were so unbelievably sweet that night?! 1v1, both leads are each other’s first and only. A meticulous, rigid research-addict bottom × a passionate, powerful elite top. Thanks to bs Gugu for the illustration. Upcoming story blurb: During the summer break of his junior year, Pei Jin travels to an unfamiliar island. Along the way, a friend asks him to look after his younger brother for two months, and he agrees. After learning the guy isn’t a little kid who’s just been weaned, Pei Jin simply sends him a location and tells him to find his way there. That day, Pei Jin is mixing paints and about to paint a portrait of a shirtless male model when he’s caught in the act by his friend’s younger brother, a cold-faced guy with a buzz cut. Pei Jin is just about to explain when the model whistles at the younger brother. “Are you the new model? You’re gorgeous!” As the younger brother storms out and slams the door, he throws out one last comment: “You’re such a pervert!” The smile freezes on Pei Jin’s face. He can only laugh helplessly with his paintbrush in hand. Qu Jingrong gets into trouble at school, and his father angrily cuts off his allowance. His older brother dotes on him and can’t bear to see him end up on the street, so he asks a friend to look after him for a while until their dad cools off. After begging his brother over and over to no avail, Qu Jingrong has no choice but to live for two months with the pervert who looks like a refined scoundrel. If he brings another man home to fool around, Qu Jingrong will make him regret it! With his good looks, Qu Jingrong inspires Pei Jin to paint him. Pei Jin pulls out every trick he can think of to convince Qu Jingrong, but the younger man isn’t swayed. He still can’t shake the impression that Pei Jin is a pervert who likes painting naked men. Pei Jin doesn’t yet realize that he’s brought home a huge headache. In the throes of his rebellious phase, Qu Jingrong does everything he can to make trouble, hoping Pei Jin will send him back sooner. Later, Qu Jingrong happens to see an unfinished painting hidden in Pei Jin’s studio. He’s captivated by the vivid colors and imaginative ideas in Pei Jin’s work. After that, Pei Jin takes him to see every kind of scenery in the world, as if every color were hidden in his eyes. But it takes Qu Jingrong a long time to understand that no scenery in the world compares to having that man by his side. Assumed 1v1, reunited after a breakup.
