The Beta Everyone Hates Has Had Enough

Contrary to the original plan, I'm putting this story on hold for now.

What does it mean to be universally disliked?

It's being a beta in an ABO world, a bastard child in an influential family, an outsider forced into a clique, an ordinary person foolish enough to fall for one of the privileged elite, or the only sane person in a group of lunatics...

In short, it's Xiu Ning.

To stop being disliked and protect his mental and physical health, Xiu Ning gives up being the third young master of the Xu family. He leaves and changes his name, wanting only to live an ordinary life.

Then five years of peaceful, mind-numbing office work are shattered by the sudden appearance of one of the privileged elite, Fu Linjun.

Fu Linjun doesn't recognize Xiu Ning as Xu Yu, the person he was five years ago. He's forgotten Xu Yu, and the terrible things he did to him. Now he's Xiu Ning's boss.

What's more, he's fallen for Xiu Ning.

Fu Linjun asks Xiu Ning, "Want to try dating me for fun?"

After all, you're only a beta. No need to worry about getting pregnant or being marked.

Fu Linjun doesn't say that part, but Xiu Ning can guess.

Xiu Ning replies, "Sure."

If you want to play, I'll play along properly.

He doesn't say that last part either.

Then, after word of Fu Linjun's engagement has made its way around by a thousand twists and turns, Xiu Ning, Fu Linjun's boyfriend, is the last person to hear about it.

When confronted, Fu Linjun smiles and says, "You've got it wrong, brother. You really think our relationship could go anywhere? How could I possibly marry a beta?"

Xiu Ning smiles too, sweeter and more deeply than Fu Linjun. "You're the one who's mistaken. When were we ever dating? Thank you, President Fu, for your generous support all this time. You've paid me more than I could have earned at work."

As he speaks, Xiu Ning pretends not to notice the privileged elite's expression immediately turn cold.

Later, on a rainy night, Xiu Ning is stopped by the privileged elite. Fu Linjun cries and says he's taken care of everything. He's called off the engagement and hopes Xiu Ning will come back to him.

Xiu Ning says coldly, "Do you still remember Xu Yu?"

"Xu Yu... The bastard the Xu family took back five years ago? How do you know about him?" Fu Linjun asks.

Xiu Ning says, "Because I'm Xu Yu, damn it!!!"

ps:

///: The timeline jumps back and forth. Chapters titled "To Hell with Your Dad" begin five years ago, while those titled "To Hell with Your Mom" begin five years later. Chapter One stands alone and takes place five years later, when the two fall out.
