Match Failed, Marking Rejected [GB]

Blurb

Li Qiao picked up an Omega from the roadside and brought him home.

The Omega had clearly been ready to die along with whoever approached him, yet his eyes burned with fierce unwillingness to give up and a desperate longing to live.

He offered Li Qiao a large sum of money, asking for nothing more than the worst-quality suppressants and the most basic shelter.

That hit Li Qiao right in the heart.

Li Qiao hadn't wanted to get involved in a huge hassle for no reason, but in a moment of madness, she took him home.

He told Li Qiao to call him He Dong.

So when Li Qiao came home exhausted after a long day, she could see a light left on for her in the dark night and drink a bowl of soup that warmed her all the way through.

The worst-quality suppressants suppress an Omega's heat, but they also bring bone-deep pain, constantly reminding the pampered Omega of the terrible situation he's in.

Later, when He Dong tossed and turned in pain, he saw the concern in the Alpha's eyes beside him and, as if possessed, allowed them to give him a temporary mark.

To be precise, half a temporary mark.

The marking was cut short halfway through when He Dong could no longer bear the pain.

What should be an otherworldly experience between an ordinary Alpha and Omega became, for the two of them, a mutual torment that felt like falling into hell.

Their pheromones were saying they were utterly incompatible.

Later, when Li Qiao walked down a familiar street again, she once more encountered the person who had left without a word.

He wore fine clothes, his familiar face flushed from heat. Courteously, he asked Li Qiao to mark him.

So Li Qiao politely refused.

Li Qiao turned to leave, but a hand with long, well-defined knuckles tugged at her clothes.

She looked down at him from above and suddenly gave a faint smile.

"Your Majesty, see? Even our pheromones say we're not right for each other."

He clenched the fabric tighter. The few words he spoke seemed to crush him completely. "What if I insist on forcing it?"

He had never imagined that the temporary mark they'd left unfinished would become a regret he could never let go of, a wound in his heart that hurt whenever he touched it.

Pre-release: Unhappy to Serve You. Blurb:

When Ni Jia learns that her workaholic father has been hospitalized, she cancels the paragliding reservation she's been looking forward to for ages and flies back home overnight.

She opens the door to the VIP room and sees a young man beside her father's bed.

He wears a simple white shirt and has a tall, straight figure. At that moment, he's sitting beside the bed, head lowered as he peels an apple.

Ni Jia blinks. I thought I was an only child.

Hearing a sound outside, he turns around, and a handsome, refined face comes into view.

Oh, Ni Jia remembers who he is.

--

Ni's father is a well-known entrepreneur in S City. He has helped many bright students from poor families complete their education through scholarships and other forms of support.

Sheng Yu is one of them.

Now that Ni's father has been hospitalized, Sheng Yu visits as a representative of the students he has supported.

Sheng Yu knows that Ni's father thinks highly of him.

If all goes well, he'll beat the other candidates and, with Ni's father's support, rise steadily through the ranks, earning the right to manage the company on behalf of Ni Jia, his only daughter.

Some people are born already standing at his finish line.

--

Sheng Yu is grateful that Ni's father gave him a hand when he was at his lowest. He willingly became a sharp blade in the man's hands, devoting himself completely to serving him.

But that doesn't mean he'll be happy to serve Ni Jia, the young heiress.

Especially after learning that she's a fake heiress.

P.S.:

1. The company will not go bankrupt.

2. Happy ending.
