There's a Good Little Poor Thing at the Orphanage [ABO]

[Brooding, intimidating, dominant Alpha top x Pretends to be sweet, fickle, arrogant beauty Omega bottom]

Ling Yuan x Ling Xing

-

In his previous life, Ling Xing was ruthless and taciturn. He hated hypocrisy and betrayal most of all.

Yet Ling Yuan, the successor he had raised with his own hands, embodied both.

After Ling Xing was brutally murdered by Ling Yuan, he was reborn as a pitiful orphan abused at an orphanage.

Ling Xing decided to leave his fate to chance. But on the very night he was reborn, he could no longer endure the abuse and slaughtered the orphanage director with his own hands. At just eight years old, he made a name for himself in one night.

Ling Xing sat in a pool of blood, resting his chin on his little hand as he pondered the future.

Who could have guessed that Ling Yuan, the man who had once killed him, would suddenly push open the orphanage door and appear before him?

"Did you do this?" Ling Yuan asked, pointing at the pieces of a body on the ground.

Ling Xing flipped him the middle finger. "Yeah. Your old man's work."

Ling Yuan: ...That arrogant, explosive temper seems awfully familiar.

-

The fearsome Ling Yuan adopted a filthy little Alpha from an orphanage and named him Ling Xing.

Once washed clean, Ling Xing was fair, soft, and fragrant.

He clung to Ling Yuan's leg and called him "Big Brother." He would cling to his clothes, sniffling and begging him not to leave. He didn't seem like an Alpha at all.

Ling Xing couldn't lift or carry anything, and he had the temper of a spoiled young lady.

Ling Yuan had no choice but to raise him like a flower, and he only grew more beautiful.

So beautiful that heirs from other families became obsessed with him.

They rushed to Ling Yuan's home to propose to his little Omega.

Ling Yuan: ? Xingxing isn't an Omega.

It wasn't until that night, when Ling Yuan was tormented to the brink of death by Ling Xing's pheromones and frantically possessed him, biting his vulnerable gland, that Ling Xing pointed a gun at his temple and cursed his ancestors for eight hundred generations.

"I said you could do it, not that you could mark me."

Only then did Ling Yuan realize that the child who needed him to hold him every night to fall asleep had always had two faces...

[Cute doesn't need a reason!]

A few notes:

1. Blurb written on 2024.5.21, revised on 2024.7.29.

2. Before being reborn, the bottom is younger than the top. After being reborn, he's older than the top. The age gap is ten years in both cases.

3. Many details are my own. The bottom is an Alpha before being reborn and an Omega afterward. They're two different people, like a soul swap.

4. There are misunderstandings before the rebirth. The extras include childbirth.

5. The bottom is strong, but his temper is truly awful. He only puts on an act in front of the top. In private, he smokes and drinks.
