Shu Xian was the only omega in his family, and was doted on by everyone. He and Sheng Feng, the eldest son of the Sheng family next door, were childhood friends who grew up together and were inseparable.
Seeing how close they were, their parents agreed to arrange a marriage for them when they were young.
But on the day of Shu Xian's eighteenth birthday, he unexpectedly presented as... an alpha.

Once the news came out, the engagement was put on hold. Neither family objected, but Shu Xian was the only one losing his mind.
He went to Sheng Feng to demand an explanation, only to learn that Sheng Feng had gone to a matchmaking date arranged by his parents.
After his initial meltdown, Shu Xian calmed down completely. He gathered his evidence, went to Sheng Feng's home, and stated his purpose plainly.
"If you agree to marry me, I promise no one else will ever find out about these things."
Sheng Feng paused with his hand on his tie. He took the documents and saw that they were all evidence of the loopholes in his parents' actions years ago.
Shu Xian watched him smile nonchalantly and saw his thin lips part. "Fine. I agree."

For a while after they married, no matter what Shu Xian did or asked of him, Sheng Feng always gave him what he wanted.
He did everything he could to help with the company, and made sure all the housework was taken care of, so Shu Xian wouldn't have to worry about a thing.
In a daze, Shu Xian thought they had returned to the carefree days of their childhood.
When passion took hold, Shu Xian would cradle his face and ask, "Do you love me?"
Sheng Feng would fall silent for a moment, then lower his head and kiss him affectionately by the ear.
Though disappointed, Shu Xian still refused to let go. He kept Sheng Feng tightly by his side, not letting him go anywhere.
Until one time, a persistent suitor kept bothering Shu Xian. Since the person was a business partner, Shu Xian couldn't refuse, and ended up working long hours, coming home exhausted.
Watching Shu Xian reject the suitor's advances again and again, Sheng Feng grew anxious. He pinned Shu Xian against the edge of the bathtub, lowering his head to kiss him repeatedly.
Half-asleep, Shu Xian touched his face and pressed a finger to his Adam's apple. He heard Sheng Feng ask, "Don't you want me anymore?"

What Shu Xian thought was a lack of love was actually love Sheng Feng had felt for a long time.
