The Hated Omega Is Being Watched by a Top Alpha

[Short story, updates at 9 p.m. every day until completion]

A domineering, old-fashioned alpha x a pretty omega everyone hates

Ages 28 and 19

Rich, heady brandy alpha x light, delicate peach-blossom ice omega

Bo Huan is beautiful, and his genetic report proves he will become a top-tier omega. Since childhood, he's been raised to become the perfect wife for Li Shaojin, heir to Kyoto's leading family. He's accomplished, gentle, and obedient, and he and Li Shaojin should have been a match made in heaven.

Until Bo Huan turns eighteen.

He presents as a defective omega with underdeveloped glands.

The elite families no longer consider him a suitable match, and everyone shuns him.

His younger brother, who went missing as a child, is found and brought home. He insists that Bo Huan was the one who lost him. Bo Huan has no memory of it, but everyone seems to believe the story.

His younger brother threatens to run away from home.

His eldest brother, a CEO: "Bo Huan, if anything happens to him, I'll make you pay with your life."

His second brother, a best actor in the entertainment industry: "Bo Huan, our little brother has suffered so much out there. Can't you just let him have his way?"

His fiance parades around kissing a gaggle of admirers, then sneers at him: "I'm not taking an uninteresting young master with defective glands who isn't even loved to any event."

Bo Huan has no idea what he did wrong.

How did everyone who once loved him turn against him overnight?

Bo Huan is told that his pheromones are a 100% match for Liang Wenjing, the top magnate in Hong Kong.

A top-tier alpha at the peak of society matched with an omega whose mental strength is E-rank, whose glands are defective, and whose pheromones are only a faint, gentle peach-blossom ice scent should be furious with shame.

Bo Huan thinks so too. He doesn't want to get entangled with Liang Wenjing.

But when they meet, Bo Huan says, "I won't provide you with pheromone comfort. I have a fiance."

Liang Wenjing looks at him with restrained intensity and smiles with refined elegance. "I'm very old-fashioned. I don't mind being the other man."

The other man?

What does that mean?

Liang Wenjing seems willing to compromise. "If you can't accept it for moral reasons, I can be your disposable bedmate, too."

Bo Huan: "..."

Liang Wenjing forcefully barges into his life. Bo Huan's faint pheromones are nowhere near enough to comfort a top-tier alpha. When Liang Wenjing enters his rut, he loses control and bites Bo Huan's glands again and again, trying to mark him, but his damaged glands cannot produce the source needed for a mark.

An alpha who can't mark his omega goes mad.

After suffering a high fever, Bo Huan discovers that he's the abused protagonist bottom of a tragic romance, destined to die from mistreatment.

If he can't make everyone happy, then he might as well make everyone unhappy.

Remorse and true feelings have always been cheap and worthless. Money is what really makes people swoon.

The day Bo Huan cuts ties with the Bo family for good,

the entire family goes mad.

They search for Bo Huan frantically in the rain.

Because Bo Huan has taken every valuable thing in the house, and even hired a construction crew to smash the load-bearing walls with an excavator.

★The leads are each other's only partners. The omega and the cannon-fodder alpha are engaged due to a forced arranged marriage, but nothing has actually happened between them.

★The top is not a perfect character.
