Professor Jiang Yu'an, an omega who studies pheromones at A University, is a constant topic of conversation among students and faculty because of his status, outstanding research, and cool, aloof personality. Of course, what draws the most attention is his unforgettable face.
Many people eagerly seek his company, but Professor Jiang never takes off the wedding ring on his left ring finger. He seems to have a deeply loving relationship with his husband, who is said to be the heir to the richest family in A City, the Xie family.
His suitors leave dejected, the envious make snide remarks, and the gossips pass around tales of his legendary love story with his husband.
The truth, however, is that Jiang Yu'an has never met his husband, let alone fallen in love with him. Their marriage was simply an alliance between the Jiang and Xie families.
No one knows that Jiang Yu'an isn't the Jiang family's biological son, but a stand-in bride. He's not even an omega, but an alpha.
Jiang Yu'an is focused on enduring two years until he can find the real Jiang family's only son and switch places with him. One quiet night, after losing a bet, he has no choice but to dress as a woman and flirt with men at a bar. There, he spots someone who might be able to help him.
Jiang Yu'an decides to make use of him.
Alpha Xie Yan, captain of the Special Investigation Team, couldn't care less about the marriage he was forced into. Even after being transferred back to A City, he has no intention of going home to see his spouse, until a rose throws itself into his arms while he's on a mission at a bar.
"Sorry... Could I get to know you?" His gaze is elusive, his words left unspoken.
A very clumsy pickup line, but it comes with a face that can take on the world.
Xie Yan raises an eyebrow at the other's earring and can't help laughing. "Sure. Since we're meeting for the first time, let's... get to know each other."
So this is what the Jiang family's supposedly sweet and innocent young master, the one his mother told him about, is really like.
He'll be the one to tear down that beautiful facade.
Bonus scene:
Still keeping his identity secret, Captain Xie flirts with his unsuspecting spouse in the car. "Is Professor Jiang still single?"
Professor Xie, cool and distant, drops a bombshell. "I was married once. My spouse died on a mission."
Captain Xie: ...
Captain Xie gets so angry that his pheromones leak. In his dazed, lovestruck state, he thinks Professor Jiang is leaning in to kiss him, so he puckers up, only for Professor Jiang to twist his arms behind his back and spray half a can of pheromone suppressant at him.
With a cold expression, Professor Jiang tosses the can back with one hand. "It's too strong. Calm yourself down." Then he gets out of the car.
Captain Xie: ? Why is his omega so different from everyone else's?
Outside the car, Professor Jiang takes a deep breath and tells himself: Calm down. No omega smells an alpha's pheromones and wants to beat him up.
