The Day After My Divorce, My Ex-Husband and I Went Clubbing

A series set in the STS band universe, with an ABO setting. Married first, love later; after the divorce, they love each other even more.

A dark-hearted keyboardist who's uptight before marriage and lets loose afterward, and a playful little liar with the personality of a dairy cat.

Synopsis:

Ruan Chen is qualified to serve as the personal bodyguard of the young heir to Xiyue Group, the leading corporation in Yanhai City. Besides his exceptional fighting skills, the most important thing is that he looks about eighty percent like the young heir.

Whenever the young heir doesn't want to attend an event, Ruan Chen goes in his place. When kidnappers try to abduct the young heir for a huge ransom, it's Ruan Chen who gets kidnapped instead. What a miserable life.

But he never expected that one day he'd have to marry on the young heir's behalf, too!

What is this, a stand-in bride plot?

And the other party is a longtime family friend of the Xis, Yu Zhe, known as the "Three Yin Big Shot": gloomy, sinister, and devious.

What's more, the young heir is an omega, while Ruan Chen is a beta.

He immediately refused. "No way. I'm not doing it."

The young heir said, "Fifty million for one marriage."

He sat back down. "Bring me a picture of that Three-Yin alpha! I'll marry him twice!"

On the wedding day, Ruan Chen finally met Yu Zhe in person. He turned out to have rhinitis and couldn't smell his own pheromones, which smelled like petitgrain.

He was even more handsome than in the photos, though he really did radiate that whole "Three Yin" aura.

At that moment, Yu Zhe, having failed to stop the marriage, looked at the supposedly pampered young heir and coldly tossed him a piece of paper. "I'm a very old-fashioned and conservative person. I won't touch you. We'll have a sexless marriage for a year, then get divorced."

Just one year? Easy enough. As a dedicated employee, Ruan Chen diligently played his role every day: he cooked, mopped the floor, and cried for help whenever anything happened, acting as a personality-free omega prop. Every month, he sprayed on perfume to fake going into heat, sprayed water between his thighs, and locked himself in his room pretending to suffer, while actually munching away on snacks.

And in Ruan Chen's eyes, Yu Zhe was a personality-free traditionalist, going to work and coming home on time every day, as dull as a wooden puppet. Even the way he helped Ruan Chen through his heat was utterly boring.

A year later, Ruan Chen finally got the divorce papers he'd been dreaming of. The next day, he went clubbing with friends and let himself go. He was dancing enthusiastically around a pole when he suddenly spotted the madman onstage, hands flying over a double-row electronic keyboard. It was none other than the celibate ex-husband who'd divorced him just yesterday!

The two party animals had both blown their cover!

Ten minutes later, Yu Zhe had Ruan Chen trussed up and carried into a VIP room upstairs at the bar.

Yu Zhe: "So you tricked me into marrying you? You get this wild in private, but acted all high and mighty with me? That pole dance was quite a show."

Ruan Chen gave up trying to salvage the situation. "You were putting on an act too! If I'd known you were this wild, I wouldn't have divorced you!"
