Jiang Xu and Shen Xing had been together for six months, but they'd only met three times. They exchanged messages just once every five or six days.
He thought his boyfriend was just a low-key person. He didn't realize he was the only fish in the pond, and his boyfriend was simply indifferent to him.
Jiang Xu broke up with him.
A month later, the AO Administration sent him a message. An Omega with 100% pheromone compatibility had been found for him. Even if they didn't marry, they were required to meet in person.
The first time Jiang Xu met Shen Xiangyan,
the Omega was dressed in a suit, his glass-colored eyes aloof, and an abnormal flush covered his whole body.
The 100% attraction between them led to one reckless night.
The second time they met,
it was over a marriage contract. Jiang Xu was expected to marry into the family and take on the corresponding "responsibilities."
Because Mr. Lu had developed a pheromone allergy, no Alpha other than Jiang Xu could get near him.
Jiang Xu signed the one-year marriage contract.

Shen Xiangyan had concealed his Omega identity for years. Suppressants were barely working anymore, and his friends kept telling him to find an Alpha, but Shen Xiangyan would rather be locked in the isolation room.
Then he developed a pheromone allergy, and even suppressants failed to help. A friend found him an Alpha at the last minute.
That Alpha was like a little wolf, biting deep and hard. The bite marks took a whole week to fade.
He messaged his childhood friend, "The person you found is pretty good. Just a temporary mark, and he's very sensible."
His childhood friend: "That Alpha was assigned to you by the AO Administration."
Shen Xiangyan: "...?"
"Holy crap, you slept with some innocent Alpha without even knowing who he was? President Shen, do you know how many years you could get for that?"
Shen Xiangyan's temples throbbed. "Get lost."

At a Shen family banquet,
only two people sat at a corner of the round table.
Shen Xing saw his decisive, industry-leading uncle sitting in an Alpha's arms, busy with work on his hands as he complained, "Your pheromones are too weak. Give me more."
The Alpha holding him nodded. As he read a textbook for his major, he wrapped an arm tighter around his uncle's waist and asked gently, "Is this okay?"
His uncle looked up and bit the Alpha's gland.
Afterward, he glared at Shen Xing and said, "Kids shouldn't watch this kind of thing. You'll get a stye."
That Alpha was Jiang Xu, the ex-boyfriend he'd dumped.
