[Blurb]

Lovers become true love | Both are pure | Actor bottom × CEO top

After spending several years in the entertainment industry, Guan Nanyi has won countless fans with his image as an uncompetitive, unattainable dream lover.

But only he knows that it's not that he doesn't compete. He simply can't win...

After turning down too many powerful men, all his future opportunities were snatched away by others. Then someone in the know mentioned that the heir to the Duan family liked him, and his boss gave him one last chance. Thinking of his seriously ill mother, Guan Nanyi silently memorized the room number.

That evening, CEO Duan opened his room door and found Guan Nanyi standing there obediently.

Duan Wangjin: ...Who are you?

Guan Nanyi: No idea. They said you liked me, so I came.

CEO Duan had never encountered anything like this. He screamed inwardly: Damn it, I only said that casually! Who could've guessed they'd actually find me someone so gorgeous yet aloof, so gentle yet innocent, so pure, obedient, and well-behaved?

But he'd seen how these things went, so he immediately stepped into the role of sugar daddy.

Guan Nanyi had bad resources, so he: Here, have some!

Guan Nanyi was bullied, so he: I'll stand up for you!

Guan Nanyi was injured while filming, so he: I'll take care of you!

Guan Nanyi's mother passed away, so he: I'll comfort you!

Guan Nanyi got drunk and acted up, so he: I suppose I'll let you kiss me a few times.

People in the industry saw them and thought: Oh, CEO Duan got the beauty. What's the big deal? Why make such a fuss!

Guan Nanyi's boss and manager: Xiao Yi, you and CEO Duan have to stay together forever!

Netizens: Just passing by to ship them.

Guan Nanyi tried to explain: I'm really not dating the CEO!

Everyone: Sure, we know.

A few years later, CEO Duan woke up in a soft, cozy bed, looked at the person in his arms, and laughed. "Good thing I was bold back then."

[Bonus Scene]

Guan Nanyi brought the family pet to a variety show and warned Duan Wangjin in advance not to reveal their relationship.

Duan Wangjin readily agreed.

But when the show was filming, Guan Nanyi watched his cat jump right out of his arms and head straight for Duan Wangjin.

Guan Nanyi: It's over. The sky is falling.

ABO, childbearing | Mutual secret crushes they don't realize | Fake marriage before love | CEO top × designer bottom | Both virgins

01.

At a young age, Xia Kaining wins the first award of his life, only to receive devastating news: his family's company is facing a financial crisis and needs a massive cash injection to survive. He hears someone advising his father that all the Xia family's problems can be solved if they agree to an arranged marriage with the Zhou family and have a top-quality heir.

Zhou Xucheng is an exceptional Alpha and the sole heir to the Zhou family. Besides... Before Xia's father can answer, Xia Kaining speaks up and agrees.

And so, he marries Zhou Xucheng.

02.

It is an Alpha-Omega union, and both are exceptional quality. The Zhou family doesn't mind spending some money to marry him, especially since Xia Kaining is educated and well-mannered, and speaks so gently. Everyone in the Zhou family is especially fond of him.

Xia Kaining thinks it's pretty good too, except his husband doesn't love him.

Ever since they were students, he has known that Zhou Xucheng likes someone else. That person is a Beta, which is why Xia Kaining got the chance to marry him, so he doesn't expect anything.

Before long, Zhou's mother starts urging them: Why don't you have a child yet?

So during his heat this month, Xia Kaining clings to Zhou Xucheng with unusual enthusiasm. Zhou Xucheng doesn't know why his young wife is in such a hurry to have a child, but he's secretly delighted, so he lets him have his way.

03.

They really do have a child, and tests after the birth confirm the baby is exceptional quality.

Xia Kaining breathes a sigh of relief. During the nights Zhou Xucheng is away on business while he's in confinement, he holds the baby and gazes at him quietly.

His baby is adorable and very attached to his mother. Xia Kaining loves him deeply, but... isn't his own happiness important too?

So as soon as the baby turns one month old, Xia Kaining leaves a signed divorce agreement behind and walks out.

04.

Zhou Xucheng thinks he's been incredibly fortunate for the past twenty-odd years.

He was born an heir, was clever from childhood, and never struggled with his studies. The hardest thing he ever did was cover for his best friend and the friend's Beta boyfriend every day after class during high school.

At twenty-five, the wife his elders chose for him turns out to be the Omega he's always liked, and she seems to love him too.

They have a son soon after, and their happy life is only just beginning.

He buys a gift for his wife at an auction house. While hiding it in a drawer, he comes across a stack of papers: a divorce agreement.

There's a note on top:

Since you love someone else, I won't get in your way. And don't get in mine.

Sign the papers and go find your own happiness. Don't keep him waiting.

Xia Kaining

After reading every word, Zhou Xucheng is completely baffled. What the hell is this supposed to mean!

Whatever it means, he can figure it out later. First, he has to win his wife back.

[Highlights]

* A silly bottom and a husband who can't say what's on his mind

* Both are each other's first and only love

* Little focus on career

Theme: Never give in to a difficult life!
