The Beta Everyone Loves at the Aristocratic Academy

As a Beta, Yu Lianzhi is exceptionally beautiful and terribly oblivious.

She has never realized that the gazes those top-tier Alphas cast her way are covetous, nor does she know that her pheromones are so potent they linger.

Like an unmistakable mark, they provoke neither her irritation nor her notice.

Betas cannot be marked. No one can cross that line and make her linger with a glance.

This delicate, illusory balance lasted a long time, until one day, the cold-hearted heir to a powerful conglomerate sought Yu Lianzhi's help during his heat.

As he lowered his head and leaned close, his thin lips parted. She saw his alluring tongue slip out, as if deliberately drawing her gaze, their breaths entwining. "Bite my gland."

His usually calm eyes now held a look of yearning, and his collar hung open at the back of his neck, his usual arrogance nowhere to be seen.

So Yu Lianzhi obliged, leaving a mischievous bite mark.

She thought that would be the end of it, but for some reason, everyone else began acting strangely, one after another.

The usually gentle and proper student council president unfastened his top button and guided her fingertips to his hot gland. "I can do better than him."

Yu Lianzhi instinctively stepped back, only to fall into the arms of someone else, radiating heat.

A familiar voice sounded. It belonged to the president's brother, whose personality was the complete opposite of his: "He can do it, but we can't?"

A silk tie wound around her fingers. Yu Lianzhi was seized by the wrist, an arm encircling her waist.

Different scents surrounded her, wedging her between burning bodies. The presence of the person behind her was impossible to ignore.

The man opposite her lifted his eyes, his gaze an unmistakable invitation.

On top of that, she received a confession from the mixed-race designer who had always been at odds with the conglomerate heir.

The usually carefree, arrogant Alpha put on a pitiful expression, as if deliberately begging for a little sympathy. "So you like him better?"

"I don't care what you call me. As long as you let me stay by your side, I'll be happy."

The Alphas rein in their nasty streaks and show their obedient sides, vying for her, obsessed with her, tempting her.

Some even wear Omega suppressor collars and restraints, just to win more of her attention.

Caught between the conglomerate heir and his rival, the student council president and his younger brother, and subjected to all sorts of seduction tactics every day, Yu Lianzhi is baffled. Isn't she a Beta?

Why are they all so fixated on her, a Beta?

Yu Lianzhi never turned them down, thinking of it all as a bit of fun. But there was always someone trying to shatter the peace they'd found.

Her expression remained cool. She simply raised a hand to wipe the tear track from his face, a more genuine smile touching her lips. "I hate trouble, darling."

"I only like obedient ones. You won't make things difficult for me, will you?"

Content warnings:

* Extremely harem-focused and very cheesy. The female lead is attracted to all ABO genders.

* The heroine is an adorably oblivious, strikingly cool beauty with a gentle but deceptively dark side.

* All the male leads are sexually inexperienced. Most of them are not good people at first and are very good at putting on an act. Whether they're rabid dogs or malevolent spirits, they all end up as obedient puppies who listen to the heroine.

* Primarily set in an elite academy, with only a little cyberpunk worldbuilding.
