The Omega I Raised Has Other Ideas [GB]

[Languid, frail older female Alpha & sly, flirtatious catlike male Omega]

After her father died, You Jimian inherited the family business, along with the illegitimate son he had raised on the side.

When she first saw him, the servants were bullying him.

The boy was beautiful. Even in a faded white shirt and frayed jeans, he had the sort of looks that made people feel sorry for him.

When the servants saw her, they dropped to their knees in terror. The boy turned to look at her, bewildered.

You Jimian got a good look at his face.

Small and delicate, with a pair of catlike eyes watching her warily. His body trembled, though, like a fluffy cat with its fur standing on end.

He seemed much more fun than her father.

You Jimian took him back to the villa and kept him.

Her mental state was poor, and sometimes she forgot about him.

At first, some servants bullied him, too. The boy pressed his lips together and quietly went to her, politely greeting her, then happened to reveal the bruises on his arm.

You Jimian noticed, laughed softly, punished the servant, and stood up for him.

The stray cat’s eyes brightened. He leaned against her dependently, rubbing against her affectionately.

Gradually, no one in the You household dared bully him anymore. The servants respectfully called him “Young Master.”

Watching her expression, he tested her limits and began to grow haughty, like a young master who had truly been spoiled since childhood. But in front of her, he remained as sweet and obedient as ever.

You Jimian smiled, indulged and spoiled him, and always took his side.

She raised him to the top prize in the music industry. Watching the star she had nurtured shine on his way to success, she grew bored again and went looking for her next toy.

She began leaving early and coming home late, rarely returning to the villa.

She heard that the cat she had kept was throwing tantrums and wrecking the place. She only smiled and told her secretary to buy him the most expensive gifts. But she still didn’t go back.

Until the day the boy turned eighteen, when he climbed into her bed.

The young man, all grown up, sat astride her waist and yanked hard on the tie at her chest. His catlike eyes were fierce and wet with tears, the corners of his eyes flushed an alluring red. He looked like he was crying and seducing her at the same time.

He was no longer obedient. He choked out in a fierce sob, “Take me.”

Before he was ten, You Yi was bullied constantly, a stray cat with no home.

In the depths of winter, when he was ten, he met You Jimian, who took him home. From then on, he considered that day his birthday, a symbol of his new life.

For eight years, he watched You Jimian fall in love, break up, fall in love again, and break up again. The men around her changed one after another.

But amid all the flowers and splendor, she would hold a cigarette between her fingers, looking a little lonely.

Hidden in the shadows, he watched You Jimian kiss her new Omega tenderly, his heart racing.

He often saw this Omega trending online. He was the youngest Best Actor in the entertainment industry, born into a prominent family, cool and aloof, a beautiful flower on a high peak that no one could approach. He was a young master who had truly been cherished and spoiled all his life.

But now he was soft as spring water in You Jimian’s arms, gazing up at her with eyes full of love.

Just like all the men before him.

You Yi judged calmly.

They all seemed to fall in love with You Jimian. In the end, they all did everything they could to prove they were special to her.

How ridiculous.

You Yi stepped out of the shadows, his catlike eyes fixed on the two of them kissing.

He knew You Jimian’s standards for boyfriends: handsome, fit, a slim waist and a soft body. She didn’t seem to care much about personality.

Looking at the Best Actor’s face, You Yi thought, resentfully: I’m ten thousand times better-looking than him. Why won’t she look at me? What would it feel like to be her Omega? How would it feel when his figure appeared in her empty eyes?

Most importantly, would You Jimian treat him any differently?

2. Twelve-year age gap, 30 and 18. The female lead partly raised the male lead. Female Alpha and male Omega. He has a secret crush on her.

3. The female lead has a strong big-sister vibe: a gentle, frail older sister who is kind to everyone. A taste of the “I love the bright moon hanging high, but it shines on everyone, not just me” trope. The male lead is the most beautiful person in the whole book. He’s very catlike: proud, pampered, sharp-tongued but soft-hearted, beautiful, and good at crying. The female lead loves watching him cry.

4. The female lead always holds the upper hand emotionally. The male lead’s feelings for her are much, much stronger. She spoils him, but the romance is also angsty for him, since she’s an older woman with all the power. At first, the male lead keeps telling himself to stay clear-headed and not fall for her, but in the end he helplessly sinks into it. It should be quite devoted and romantic, with a sense of salvation or healing.

5. The female lead has had a first love and exes, and plenty of relationship experience. She has had past lovers, while the male lead has not. There will be a male supporting character with a one-sided crush on the female lead, and a plot point where the male lead thinks he is a substitute.
