But I'm Just a Beta

Qi Zhao is the most inconspicuous Beta side character in this ABO world. Born into a family with a strict hierarchy, he was effectively exiled as soon as he presented. He had planned to live an ordinary life, but at twenty-four, he had no choice but to take a chance for his younger sister, who was about to be married off to a fifty-year-old man.

.

A friend brought him before Qi Wei. Qi Wei said he could change all of Qi Zhao's official records and become his patron and stepping stone. All he wanted was one thing: Qi Zhao himself.

Qi Zhao fell silent for a long time. “...But I'm just a Beta.”

And Qi Wei was the world's most powerful Alpha.

Qi Wei smiled, delight at having his prey caught in his net flickering in his eyes. “Whether you're an Alpha, an Omega, or a Beta, from now on, you're mine alone.”

The one he'd longed for had never been about being an A, a B, or an O.

.

Betas have no pheromones. To an Alpha with keen senses, Qi Zhao's scent was one of a kind. During his rut, Qi Wei couldn't nest even when he hid in Qi Zhao's closet. He had to hold Qi Zhao close and stay by his side every moment to get through his rut^^

Recommending the sweet little story Can't Hear, opening on 12.3

Everyone says it's a shame when they hear about Qi Xun.

He's talented and kind, but he was born deaf. Some people even whisper behind his back, wondering if he was bullied a lot as a child.

Those who know Qi Xun always speak up: “How could that be? You don't know how protective Zhou Jinfeng is of him.”

.

Zhou Jinfeng first met Qi Xun at his own home. He was seven, and Qi Xun was six. His father told him that from then on, Qi Xun would be his little brother.

At seven or eight, an age when kids are a handful, Zhou Jinfeng was a notorious little troublemaker. He tried to throw his weight around in front of Qi Xun, but all he got in return was Qi Xun's silent, calm, and puzzled gaze.

Only later did he learn what it meant that Qi Xun couldn't hear.

.

Zhou Jinfeng had been secretly in love with Qi Xun for years, but to him, Qi Xun was a delicate flower. He didn't dare pluck that flower, so like a dog, he fiercely guarded his territory, using his status as an older brother to satisfy his desire for control.

Then he discovered that Qi Xun had secretly met a refined, elegant man many times behind his back. Zhou Jinfeng felt as if the sky had fallen...

He viciously locked Qi Xun in a room. His eyes were red, and he looked ready to go mad, but his voice was full of hurt as he gestured frantically: “Do you think I'm bad-tempered too?”

Qi Xun opened his mouth. Though he had been unable to speak because of his congenital deafness, he strained to force out two words: “□□, □□... huan...”

Recommending the sweet little story Custom Boyfriend

Lin Cheming inexplicably downloaded an app called Custom Boyfriend. When he opened it, the app asked what kind of lover he would want if he could have a boyfriend custom-made for him.

Thinking he might as well entertain himself by playing along with something even more boring than himself, Lin Cheming typed: [A lover who wants only me, and no one else will do]

The next morning, when he opened the door, he saw a tall, imposing man looking down at him. “Hello, I'm your custom boyfriend, Jing Zhi.”

.

Since Jing Zhi didn't obey him like a robot, Lin Cheming kept suspecting that he was some prank pulled by a secret admirer.

That was until the day he told Jing Zhi to stay home and wait for him. While out on an errand, he was betrayed and caught in a dangerous situation. Then Jing Zhi appeared and, with his bare hands, effortlessly crippled hundreds of people in the blink of an eye.

Lin Cheming: “...”

Can I still return him?

But Jing Zhi had already grabbed his wrist and wrapped an arm around his waist, pressing his forehead against Lin Cheming's and forcing him to look at him.

Jing Zhi's voice was as gentle as ever. “A Lin, don't be afraid.”

He gave him a perfectly gentle smile. “As long as you don't leave me, I won't do that to you.”
