Xia Tingheng was a famously cool beauty, and a beta.

He was quite happy with his gender. He'd heard that betas made up the largest group of single people.

But it also often caused him trouble.

There were far too many alphas who fell in love with him at first sight and proposed after seeing him just once.

Xia Tingheng had given up on love and was already prepared to stay single until he died. He'd even thought about which country to spend the rest of his life in.

Then another marriage contract fell out of the sky and shattered his dream.

He waved it away, intending to reject the letter as usual.

Then he happened to notice that the other party was a powerful alpha who consistently topped a certain rich list.

Xia Tingheng: You must have gotten the name wrong. I'm a beta.

The butler delivering the marriage contract: We got it right. We want a beta who can't have children.

Xia Tingheng: Is your CEO impotent or something?

Butler: You can't put it like that.

Xia Tingheng's first impression of Chen Chi wasn't favorable.

That alpha had to take a deep breath after walking a few steps and found even talking exhausting. Other than being much bigger than Xia Tingheng, he seemed a little weaker in every way.

Xia Tingheng thought, marrying someone like this wouldn't be so bad.

First, it would let him avoid his elders pressuring him to get married.

Second, it wouldn't be substantially different from being single.

Later, he realized the difference was huge :)

There was no physical impairment at all, and all that restraint and forbearance he'd shown before was gone.

His unstable rut cycle also gradually recovered thanks to their union.

Xia Tingheng: I can't believe I fell for that.

As time passed, the frequency wore him out.

Xia Tingheng: Why are you two different people by day and by night?

Chen Chi raised his eyes calmly. "I save my strength for where it matters."

Xia Tingheng: ?

Anyone who didn't know better would think you were a sex addict.

-

After they married, Xia Tingheng had more money than he could spend and more beautiful clothes than he could wear. Chen Chi took meticulous care of him like he was a doll.

He thought Chen Chi was a fairly mild-mannered person. They hardly ever argued, and their sex life was harmonious, so he was quite satisfied with the marriage.

Only later did he discover that the gentleness was an act :)

If he smiled at a coworker, Chen Chi would fuck him half to death when he got home.

His social life was tightly restricted, and whenever he opened his phone, he had to look at intimate photos of himself and Chen Chi.

Any A, B, or O around him could make Chen Chi unhappy, and Xia Tingheng had to go to great lengths to soothe him.

Xia Tingheng: I want a divorce.

Chen Chi: No, you don't.

Irreverent but doting puppy-dog top x beautiful, strong, gentle CEO bottom. A sweet romance that begins with marriage and grows into love 😘

Yu Yi started a business at a young age and made the rich list while still young.

Starting at twenty, he sponsored several students and donated money to underprivileged schools every year.

He occasionally visited orphanages to play piano for the students.

His current husband, Huo Zhihan, was one of them.

Six years ago, he was a handsome boy as tall as Yu Yi.

Six years later, Huo Zhihan had a strikingly handsome face, stood 190 centimeters tall, had a perfectly toned waist, barely spoke, and was even fiercer in bed.

-

Yu Yi loved to smile. His eyes were always full of tender affection, and he looked at everyone with a hint of warmth and fondness.

Thanks to his looks and his sharp mind, Yu Yi had never taken a wrong step in business. His rivals, fooled by his appearance, always ended up kicking themselves.

He had countless admirers but had never dated anyone. Then one day, he suddenly found himself under pressure to get married.

His family was aggressively pushing him to tie the knot, and Yu Yi was getting a headache over it. Just then, Huo Zhihan, who had just reached marriageable age, approached him of his own accord.

Yu Yi smiled and waved him off. "You don't have to do this to repay me."

Huo Zhihan looked at him intently. "It's not repayment."

Huo Zhihan said, "Think of it as granting my wish."

-

Yu Yi had never thought of the boy he'd watched grow up in that way, and after they married, he planned to sleep separately.

But he felt that Huo Zhihan had become a different person after the wedding.

Huo Zhihan put him first in everything, looked after him, and helped him work through his worries. After years of living alone, Yu Yi experienced the warmth of home for the first time.

Gradually, he began to think that this kind of life wasn't so bad.

Sometimes Huo Zhihan wasn't so obedient, and his behavior grew more and more out of line. He became overbearing and domineering, leaving Yu Yi no choice but to put on his big-brother act and send him to the guest room to reflect.

Time and time again, in the middle of the night, Huo Zhihan would knock on his door, hold him against the headboard, and ask with a desolate expression:

Am I not good enough for you?

If you're not satisfied, I'll keep going until you are. How about it?

-

Everyone at Yu Yi's company knew their boss had married a poor college student.

Then one day, they saw a new singer on TV whose debut single had sold over a hundred million copies and who had swept the music charts in less than a month.

The handsome face on the screen, so unapproachable, was unmistakably Yu Yi's irreverent college-student husband.

A month after his debut, Huo Zhihan was already being remembered for his talent and his looks alike.

A variety show reached out to him with a tentative invitation to join a new dating show.

Huo Zhihan idly turned the diamond ring on his ring finger and said softly, "I'm not going on a dating show."

The production team had expected that answer and was about to leave when Huo Zhihan chuckled. "If I'm going on anything, it should be a marriage show."

The next day, someone teased Yu Yi: "I hear President Yu is going on a marriage show?"

Yu Yi only smiled, leaning back in his chair as he discreetly rubbed his lower back.

There was no way he could go on a marriage show. A few days ago, he'd gone to a banquet and Huo Zhihan had kept him in bed for two whole days.

His back still hurt.
