Because of an accident when he was young, Pei Yunyi's glands were severely damaged. Since his secondary gender manifested, he has never had a heat, can't be marked, and his pheromones are so faint they're almost undetectable. Apart from having a functional reproductive tract and being able to smell pheromones, he's practically a beta.
Because of this constitution, Pei Yunyi is almost thirty and still hasn't found a partner.
Well, no normal person would choose an omega who's so inferior he's practically a beta. Pei Yunyi isn't in a hurry anyway, and is perfectly content as he is.

At yet another blind date, Pei Yunyi went to meet his "promising match" as usual, expecting to be rejected.
Then he saw the man.
How could it be his high school crush?!
Now his "promising match" really had become someone who made his heart flutter.
Though excited, Pei Yunyi introduced himself slowly and clearly: "Mr. Xie, my constitution is unusual. I'm barely an omega, so please think carefully..."
After listening to him, Xie Zhiwen replied seriously, "If you agree, we can pick a day to register our marriage."
Pei Yunyi: Huh?
- Little bonus scene -
His first heat
Pei Yunyi: Why do I feel so hot? Do I have a fever?
Xie Zhiwen, dead serious: This is your heat. Can't you smell how your pheromones are about to fill the whole room?
The next second, Xie Zhiwen heard a quiet mumble by his ear:
"I thought it was your new cologne."
Xie Zhiwen x Pei Yunyi
A seemingly proper but secretly scheming, straightforward, husband-material gong x an easygoing, cheerful, straightforward wife-material shou who's so unaffected by pheromones that he's oblivious to them
