In a successful love-rivalry novel, besides the shou protagonist being fought over and the first, second, and third gongs competing for him, there is another indispensable type of character.
The original partner who suffers because of the shou protagonist.
Though they bear the title of the shou protagonist's original partner, they're usually just stepping stones that deepen the relationship between the protagonist and his first, second, and third gongs.
Not only are they despised by their romantic rivals, but the shou protagonist, supposedly their lover, has never given them an ounce of genuine affection.
In short, the word "miserable" says it all.
But one day, these unfortunate original partners suddenly awakened.

World One: The Original Partner of a Wealthy Young Master
Everyone knows that the young master of the top-tier Luo family has a useless husband who married into the family.
In their eyes, Xu Huaizhou is dull and boring, with nothing special about him. The only thing he cares about is the young master Luo, and you could say he's the young master's most loyal dog.
Even Luo Ziyi thinks so.
At some point, Xu Huaizhou stopped caring about Luo Ziyi...
"Huaizhou, didn't you once say you'd always love me and treat me well?"
Luo Ziyi's eyes filled with tears as he clutched the ring he'd once discarded like trash.
Xu Huaizhou used to be so careful not to make him frown. Now he ruthlessly shook off his hand and tossed the signed divorce agreement to the ground.
"I'm sorry, Young Master Luo. We're divorced now."

World Two: The Original Partner of an Interstellar Omega
As the only S+ Omega in the entire interstellar world, Xiang Xiao has carried the hope of soothing S+ Alphas ever since the day he presented.
There are four S+ Alphas perfectly matched with him, all handsome and enormously influential. Under their pursuit, he gradually fell for them, leaving his childhood sweetheart, an A-rank, far behind.
Xiang Xiao thought: I'm only helping those people. Yu Qiuchi loves me so much, surely he won't mind.
But the next second, he received a breakup text from Yu Qiuchi.
Later, after being schemed against and losing his glands, Xiang Xiao finally abandoned his delusions. He wanted to find Yu Qiuchi and beg for his forgiveness.
He went to the shopping mall where the two of them used to spend time together most often. With his last few star coins, he bought a set of clothes Yu Qiuchi liked, only to see his childhood sweetheart holding hands with someone else just beyond a wall.
"Doesn't that look like your childhood sweetheart? Aren't you going to say hello?"
Then he heard the disdainful voice of the childhood sweetheart who had promised to treat him well for the rest of his life.
"He's just a stranger with nothing to do with me. Why would I see him?"
Reader's Guide:
1. Gong-centric story: awakened original-partner gong × original novel's villain shou.
2. The gong has a hidden all-loving-him quality, but only the shou gets his affection. A classic regret-and-redemption story where the ex realizes what he's lost.
3. Each world is a standalone story.

Unmarked ABO: I'm the Only Alpha in an Omega Dorm
I'm a male college student who transmigrated and got kidnapped by a System to experience an exciting life in another world.
But who could've guessed that the so-called exciting life the System meant was staying alive in a dorm full of a different sex until the end, while also matchmaking my three roommates!
Me: You want me, an Alpha, to pretend to be an Omega and stay in a dorm full of Omegas?! Isn't that just pure perversion?
System: ...
As a good young man of the modern age, I absolutely refuse to go along with this.
The System plays its trump card: If you complete the missions as I instruct, you can win a prize fund of five hundred million.
Me: !!!
Me: Well, I... I suppose it's not completely out of the question~
My face hurts. Sob.
-
The five hundred million prize is simply too tempting, so I have no choice but to obey the System and disguise myself as a delicate, wicked green-tea Omega.
Including, but not limited to:
Using all sorts of coy, sugary talk in front of Roommate No. 1, the aloof Omega who hates idiots and clingy people, while sticking to him and doing ridiculous things from time to time.
Me: He'll definitely get fed up with me and fall into the arms of the top student Alpha!
Aloof Omega: You're special. From now on, can you only act cute for me?
Me: ?
Pretending to be a pitiful victim in front of Roommate No. 2, the sunny Omega who hates two-faced people, while secretly taking brutal revenge on anyone who bullies me, making sure he sees it.
Me: He'll definitely be disappointed in me and fall into the arms of the devoted Alpha!
Sunny Omega: I was wondering how to tell you. Turns out we're the same kind of person. We're made for each other, don't you think?
Me: ??
Letting loose in front of Roommate No. 3, the tsundere Omega who hates tactless people and sharp tongues. I say embarrassing things without meaning to and keep picking at him, determined to make him furious.
Me: He'll definitely hate me and fall into the arms of the loyal-dog Alpha!
Tsundere Omega: You're so sharp-tongued, but I suppose I'm the only one who can put up with you. Want to be with me?
Me: ???
I failed to set up even one couple, and was forced to reveal my identity. I watched helplessly as the five hundred million prize flew away, completely baffled.
Can someone tell me why this happened???

The main story is written in third person.
Reader's Guide:
1. The gong is a beautiful little Alpha who seems like a green tea but is actually naturally seductive, an ultimate heartthrob.
2. The gong has a special constitution and won't react negatively to Alpha pheromones. His own pheromones are especially attractive to both Alphas and Omegas.
3. Contains lots of melodramatic love-rivalry scenes!

Theme: Don't wait until you've lost something to start regretting it.
The pink off-shoulder short T-shirt and tight pants really make me hallucinate that girly... Heavy mouth... Vomit
Wow, has the protagonist Gong awakened too?
The copywriting is okay, but the main text is like a male short drama like "My Long Aotian's Son-in-law", and it's a frustrating version. I don't know why these familiar silly settings were added. The inconspicuous husband hides his identity as Niubi. After the divorce, the arrogant wife learns the truth and regrets it hahaha.
Is there something wrong with my reading comprehension? Why do I feel that I can't connect to some places suddenly, and it suddenly appears inexplicably?
How long will it take to get divorced? It's so frustrating to maintain the character.
This does not prove that anyone who is awakened will not fall in love with the protagonist Shou. This personality charm is too low 🐶
The protagonists have such good tempers
In the first world, who is the shou? Are the shou and the gong favoring each other? Or is it grandma?
The author is so 🥺🥺 How come this book of yours is so messed up, so sad 🥺🥺
Ah, I was wondering if I can change my hair and eye color back?
