The Proust Effect [BG]

Wealthy, powerful, and rebellious heir x ambitious female assistant with neither money nor influence

[Misbehaving x Cool and aloof]

[Male Alpha (Winter Jasmine) x Female Omega (Honeysuckle)]

If she hadn't truly needed the money, An Wu would never have applied for this position:

be the female assistant to the notoriously infamous next heir of the Pei family.

Concealing her Omega status and posing as a Beta, she treads carefully at the Pei Corporation, serving a young master who can't stand the sun, can't carry a briefcase, can't walk on muddy ground, can't tolerate business partners, can't hear advice, can't control his temper, can't stand being wronged... Don't push it, Young Master Pei.

An Wu thinks she must have been a honeysuckle in her past life. How else could she be so good at putting up with things?

Of course, maybe it's because...

Pei Ziyi always sneaks a kiss onto the tip of her nose while she's asleep.

"An Wu, I like you a little more today."

-

That top-tier Alpha of the Pei family is so unruly that people both fear and admire him.

Born with a handsome face, he hides the cruelest of hearts.

So, while browsing the applications, he spotted An Wu, whose status was listed as "Beta."

Oh.

He smiled, his eyes full of cold indifference.

Probably no one would imagine that the haughty, untouchable heir of the Pei family had once been brutally humiliated and rejected by a low-grade Omega when he confessed to her in high school.

It was one of the few moments in Pei Ziyi's life when he had acted with genuine feeling and conscience.

"An Wu."

The cursor clicked lightly on the words "Application Approved."

"How did you end up in my hands?"

A snake's gaze fell on the woman's now-grown face.

This time, he would destroy her.

-

The person who loved spring most nearly failed to survive winter, while the one who hated spring most nearly failed to see it arrive.

When the Proust effect takes hold, can you tell whether it's tenderness or a racing heart?

Reader's Guide:

ABO setting. You can read without knowing the conventions; there's no complicated worldbuilding, and there are some suspenseful elements. It works just as well as a regular romance novel. 1v1, both leads' first relationship, happy ending.

[The full story is free until completion. No fixed update schedule promised. I might vanish into a coffin at any time. When real life isn't too busy, I'll come back and write. Love you, my wives!]

It's Crazy Thursday, send me 50 Jinjiang Coins (just joking, don't take it seriously) to read the sweet romance of 1155.

Theme: Making money is most important.
