Why Would a Beta Be Force-Marked?

[Cold, aloof, arrogant young master top * slow-witted, honest assistant bottom]

[Childhood friends, estranged and reunited] [True love turns to hatred, melodramatic forced love, pregnancy]

Synopsis

Chi Shui sees Shen Zheng again on a rainy night.

Only a few hours earlier, Shen Zheng had been in the engagement news. Now, impeccably dressed and almost warmly, he offers Chi Shui a bottle of water.

When Chi Shui wakes again, three days have passed. He tries to escape, but Shen Zheng locks him in that little room and punishes him for his betrayal, day and night.

Shen Zheng strokes the smooth back of his neck and says offhandedly, "Is marking the only way to keep you here?"

Chi Shui shakes his head in terror.

Shen Zheng bites at the spot where Chi Shui's nonexistent gland should be thousands of times, trying to mark a beta.

After countless failures, Shen Zheng finally shows his true face and implants a gland in his body.

Chi Shui doesn't become an omega as Shen Zheng wanted, but he does carry a child in his beta body.

The one time he wronged Shen Zheng brings down his resentment, deception, and revenge. Day after day, Chi Shui is imprisoned in a cage woven from the excuses Shen Zheng makes for taking revenge.

Reader's Guide:

1. Chapters 2 through 39 take place in the past. The remaining chapters follow the present timeline.

2. Old-school forced love and pregnancy. Pure love in the early chapters, then melodrama and perversion go hand in hand in the middle and later chapters.

3. The plot differs from the one next door. This story is the authoritative version.

[Cold, ruthless, unhinged dragon-slaying hero * dumb furnace body, beautiful cannon-fodder character]

Synopsis:

I hate Wen Renyu.

But I used to love him.

I transmigrated into a book, into a cultivation world. I knew he was the protagonist of this world.

To survive in this perilous world, I said I wanted to marry him.

The strange thing was, he agreed.

Thanks to him, I also entered the greatest sect under heaven. He was an inner disciple, while I was... a menial servant who swept the floors.

I had no hope of cultivating immortality and seeking the Dao. Transmigrating into a book hadn't changed the fact that I was stupid.

I had simply gone from a dummy who scored thirty in math to a dummy with no spiritual roots who couldn't read.

He traveled the world and became famous. He was ambitious and surrounded by countless admirers, while I just swept the same floors day after day.

I told people he would come back and marry me, but no one believed me. They told me to stop dreaming.

I kept waiting for him to come back and marry me.

But he never did.

Later, I heard he was about to become Dao partners with an elder's son. I figured he'd probably forgotten me long ago, and forgotten that he was supposed to marry me.

So many people laughed at me. I didn't want to wait for him anymore.

I wanted to return to the mortal world and live an ordinary life.

I was robbed along the way. The person told me I had an exceptional water spirit root and was born to be a furnace body. Wen Renyu must have used some kind of artifact to conceal my spirit root during the sect's aptitude test.

My physique was perfect for helping cultivators break through their limits. I was practically made for cultivators like Wen Renyu, who had a Dao fetus and a demonic seed.

I thought... he really did like me a little once.

When I was nearly turned into a furnace body, Wen Renyu saved me.

I asked him if what that person had said was true. He said it was.

Now we're even.

I don't want to see him anymore.

I'm leaving.

But Wen Renyu doesn't let me go. He forces me to be his furnace body. He says he wants to marry me.

The thing I regret most is meeting him. I'd rather die than marry him.

Theme: Love can smooth away a person's sharp edges.
