As a beta, Shen Huan has no pheromones and cannot be marked. He exists outside the conventional rules of love in the ABO world.
People say alphas and omegas are naturally drawn to each other. In their second year of high school, Shen Huan accidentally broke his deskmate Lu Ran's suppressants, making it impossible for Lu Ran to control his intense pheromones when he went into heat. He nearly caused half the class to lose control.
That was also the day Shen Huan, who had never been affected by pheromones, learned what Lu Ran's scent was like: a blazing heat beyond words, just like his name.

Told in reverse order, more or less. A short story of a few thousand words, sweet at times and heartbreaking at others. Bittersweet ending.
