Second Chances | Winning Back the Ex | Variety Show Couple | Secret Identity Revealed

Couple: A Crazy, Privileged Young Master x A Scheming Career-Driven Woman

Chinese Medicine Practitioner x Perfumer

Years after their breakup, Luo Xi joins a laid-back travel variety show at a friend's suggestion, never expecting to reunite with her first love, Lu Jiyuan.

When they were young, they were the perfect couple everyone envied. But when graduation came, he forced himself to leave her with a sudden, brutal breakup.

Luo Xi's four years of sincere love had all come to feel like a joke.

What's even more ridiculous is that he pretends not to know her.

On the surface, Lu Jiyuan flirts with a new girl, but behind the scenes, he and Luo Xi play at being unable to let go of their old feelings.

Luo Xi scoffs at him. On camera, she acts distant and avoids him like the plague. But Lu Jiyuan only flirts with her more brazenly, until one day Luo Xi can't take it anymore and has a huge argument with him in front of the cameras.

The entire production crew falls silent in tacit agreement. In the end, it's Lu Jiyuan who comes to soothe her.

But he still has that same infuriating habit of refusing to face their problems.

Luo Xi is tired of it. She goes to a friend to talk about what happened, only to learn that her friend and Lu Jiyuan are in cahoots!

Meanwhile, filming the variety show isn't going smoothly either. Someone sets Luo Xi up, first damaging her reputation and then leaving her injured and hospitalized. Online public opinion keeps heating up.

While Luo Xi is in her hospital room, another huge disturbance breaks out downstairs.

She hurries down unsteadily, only to see Lu Jiyuan in a sorry state. They tell her he's been waiting downstairs for hours, just to catch the suspect coming back to the scene.

In the surveillance footage, the refined, dignified young master looks like a demon from hell as he beats the other person nearly unconscious.

Lu Jiyuan himself is unhurt from head to toe. He tilts his head and wipes the blood sliding down onto his lapel, then speaks to her softly: "It's windy downstairs. Go back up and rest."

Luo Xi can't understand how he could go to such lengths for her after ending things so brutally.

So she starts trying to uncover the truth behind their breakup, only to discover that Lu Jiyuan is nothing but a shameless liar!

He lies to her, deceives her heart, and toys with her feelings. He has spent four years disguised as a "close confidant," staying by her side just to trick her into taking him back.

Lu Jiyuan has done every kind of crazy thing behind her back. The moment Luo Xi finds out, she resolves to stop entangling herself with him and let them both go. But the man looks at her with reddened eyes and says:

"I love you so much, I might as well have torn out my heart and given it to you, Luo Xi. Don't you dare take me for granted."

Couple: A Violent, Brilliant Omega Girl x A Scheming, Wicked, Combat-Weak Alpha

Chaotic Evil x Lawful Neutral

On the day of the 12th graduating class's ceremony at the Interstellar Alliance Training Camp, the palace on Suzaku Star is attacked. In less than half a day, the Chu family's royal rule is overthrown and the Huo family takes its place.

As the outstanding graduate representative, Chu Ai delivers a speech. When she finishes, amid thunderous applause in the auditorium, a bullet suddenly roars toward her, aimed straight at her vital point.

The stone pillar behind her is brutally pierced, while white paper flutters down from above.

At the back of the crowd, Huo Tong walks toward her against the light, holding a gun and laughing. "Chu Ai, take a look! This is my graduation gift to you!"

The girl onstage grabs one of the sheets. Printed clearly on it are the gruesome images of her parents and older brother.

Their eyes are open in death, filled with resentment.

Without warning, her "Heart Value" surges the next second. The papers that had just fallen rise into the air, and everyone in the auditorium, students and teachers alike, suffers the backlash of her overwhelming pressure. Not one person is spared: they all collapse to their knees.

As if their sovereign had returned.

Leaning on his gun, Huo Tong barely manages to kneel, then spits out a large mouthful of blood, looking like a demon from hell. "What an incredible power. But you can't escape... Hahahaha!"

As soon as he finishes speaking, a deafening roar comes from above the roof. Hundreds of spaceships equipped with the strongest weapons in the galaxy gather there, all for Chu Ai.

The Huo family wants to wipe out every last one of her, even if it means violating the agreement among the interstellar nations to "never interfere with the Alliance Training Camp."

It was the end of autumn, in the year 3605.

Three years after the incident is brought under control, rumors spread through the underground city that a "Heart Gift" genius has appeared in the western district, accompanied by a fearsome "Tyrant" who hardly ever speaks but is vicious when beating people up.

In just a month, the two of them become the underground city's most sought-after mercenary team. Their small crew charges high prices, and no matter how difficult the mission, they never fail.

Even the regular troops in the royal city have heard of them.

And all of this is what Huo Qi hears from his colleagues.

He belongs to a branch of the Huo royal family on Suzaku Star. As an alpha and a royal relative, getting an easy post would be simple, but he chooses to work as a doctor, insisting on doing things the hard way. His pay is meager, and he still gives money to the poor of the underground city.

One day, as usual, he goes to the underground city to provide free medical care. On the way, he happens to come across an omega who is on the brink of death. Her beauty shines through despite her blood-covered body. He takes her back aboveground for treatment, but the first thing she does when she wakes up is threaten the most vulnerable part of his body, his gland, with a short knife.

"Who are you?" Chu Ai asks, her voice cold, like a bloodthirsty beast.

Huo Qi isn't flustered. He casually keeps his hands in his pockets. "Huo Qi. Qi, as in rise again."

He pushes her knife aside without a care and says calmly, "You were marked by a close relative, and your gland was damaged. I helped you, so you should say thank you."

As soon as he finishes speaking, Chu Ai collapses. Huo Qi swiftly catches her, only then noticing her terrifying body temperature.

And the strong smell of blood.

"Is that your pheromone?" He realizes belatedly, his eyes widening in disbelief. "You're in heat?!"
