[If it weren't for pheromones, why would I keep staying by your side, or let you stay by mine?]
Reader's guide: It's old-school and full of melodrama
Shen Huixing, an S-rank Alpha and the chief executive of the Asian Alliance Military, has a perfect marriage with an Omega whose compatibility rating is over 90%.
As everyone knows, the executive's spouse is Pei Jiqing. He's highly educated, well-mannered, and handsome, with a gentle, refined manner. He's the host of a food show, and, more importantly, an extreme romantic, known as Lingshi's number one lovesick wife.
Some of his classic quotes:
Pei Jiqing, in public: I want to give my husband enough children to make up a whole soccer team. My husband's an S-rank Alpha, after all. His genes are so excellent, it would be such a shame not to pass them on.
In reality, he's terrified of getting pregnant. He takes every possible precaution, even slipping Alpha birth-control pills to his husband. They've gone years without using protection, and he's never gotten pregnant once. He's even convinced Shen Huixing that he always obediently lets him finish inside, and that his sperm must be poor quality.
Pei Jiqing, in public: When my husband comes home every day, I have to hug him for at least ten minutes. You know Omegas can't live without an Alpha's pheromones. Without them, we'd be like roses without nourishment, and we'd wither. If I'm away from my husband for half an hour, I can't breathe.
In reality, Shen Huixing sometimes smokes or meets with people, so he carries the smell of cigarettes. After being forced to quit smoking, Pei Jiqing breathes in the lingering smell on Shen Huixing and thinks, My poor nose, hurry up and inhale.
Over time, everyone fell for his act, even Shen Huixing, who had once looked down on him. He came to believe his wife loved him more than life itself.
But nobody knew that every morning, the chief executive's gentle and considerate wife would wake up and recite the precautions for faking a high pheromone compatibility rating.
One: Pretend to be constantly infatuated with and crave your Alpha's pheromones and physical contact, especially during heat.
Two: Fulfill every fantasy your Alpha has of an ideal, devoted wife.
Three: Fake an information-induced climax in bed.
Four: Never fall in love with the Alpha.
He kept this secret for five years.
Pei Jiqing had stayed by Shen Huixing's side as he rose from soldier to general. Someone once told him that Shen Huixing might easily die on the battlefield, so for years Pei Jiqing had been looking forward to becoming a wealthy widow. But now Shen Huixing had become a force to be reckoned with throughout the Asian Alliance, afraid of no one.
Then one day, another highly compatible Omega appeared, someone who could take Pei Jiqing's place and help Shen Huixing through his heat.
Pei Jiqing thought that as soon as Shen Huixing came into contact with that Omega, it would expose the truth: their compatibility rating was ridiculously low, and Pei Jiqing was a fraud.
Then one day, Pei Jiqing heard Shen Huixing mention the Omega.
Shen Huixing said, "All right."
He was willing to meet him.
So Pei Jiqing ran away.
What an ungrateful, cold-hearted man. He just couldn't be warmed.
Pei Jiqing guessed that Shen Huixing would marry someone else and keep them at home like a beautiful vase.
He never expected Shen Huixing to go mad looking for him.
Only after his wife ran away did Shen Huixing learn that the shirts Pei Jiqing supposedly ironed himself every day had been done by the servants, the loving soups and meals had been made by the chef, and the good-luck charm he supposedly went in person to pray for had been bought online for 999 yuan, with someone else waiting in line to get it. Pei Jiqing spent every day sleeping in, then had dozens of servants help him get dressed up before playing the devoted wife all over again.

I don't know if I can take a bite of this youth rice.
Wife, our scale in Jinjiang is stuck here. It's such a pity 😭 😭 I want to see Wild Rose
This parallel world is so happy [Spread Flowers]
I want to see Nuan Nuan's parenting routine! There are also forum reactions from passers-by! Why did these two get divorced and have a child 🌈
[Hug][Hug][Hug] The ending position makes people feel unbearably itchy.
Will there be any extras in the future? 🙏
"Shen Huixing is clear" is a big bug for the author~
It should be Xiao Pei(?)
Why haven't you updated the next chapter? Mommy, I'm so hungry [empty bowl]
I still don't understand why I want to dig into other people's private lives, publish other people's privacy on the Internet, and criticize others, as if I am the moral high point.
Shen Huixing [hugs] You have met a real succubus! ! You can't escape his grasp [hug][hug]
