How to Win the Heart of the Chosen One

#The main story is complete. Please support the official version!~# #New chapters every night at nine# #Both leads are each other’s only ones. Xiao Chu is the top, Xiao Cheng is the bottom!# Cheng Shiying is a flawless, perfect young gentleman in every way. He’s handsome, eloquent, sunny, cheerful, and naturally charismatic. He goes to school in a different luxury car every day, serves as student council president, and always gets perfect grades. Even a whole list of Cheng Shiying’s outstanding qualities would hardly do them justice. Girls who want to date him could line up from Yigang all the way to Baisha Bay. Cheng Shiying is the pride of the entire port city, famous far and wide. So much so that years later, even after the Cheng family goes bankrupt, wealthy young women who have never forgotten him seize the opportunity, begging their fathers to pay off his debts and take him as a live-in son-in-law. But before the young ladies can make a move, someone beats them to it. News of the Cheng family’s acquisition and Cheng Shiying’s marriage to a man make the front pages at the same time. The earth-shattering news immediately sets the Ganghua alumni circle ablaze. There’s only one reason: the groom is none other than the school’s notorious loser... Chu He received a charitable scholarship and grew up in an orphanage. He’s tall and thin, pale, gloomy, and odd-tempered, with no friends. He was shut out of the upper-class social circle back in middle school, and he and Cheng Shiying came from completely different worlds. And yet now his face is right there on the front page, standing alongside Cheng Shiying in a black suit and silver tie, his pale fingers clasped around Cheng Shiying’s waist like a restraint. · Cheng Shiying has never thought of himself as the pride of the heavens. He just thinks he’s been a little lucky. Though the family business has fallen on hard times, at least he had a happy childhood and a smooth adolescence. He spent over twenty years as a pampered young master who never had to lift a finger. He was the most outstanding of his peers, an exemplary heir to a wealthy family. The wildest thing he’d done in over twenty years was have a secret relationship with a male classmate in middle school. In Cheng Shiying’s eyes, Chu He was handsome, quiet, and clever, though a little withdrawn at times. They had a happy relationship. They broke up after graduating from middle school and never got in touch again. Cheng Shiying regarded it as a beautiful first love and thought they’d each gone their separate ways. Every now and then, he’d remember it and smile at the thought. Only when he saw Chu He again did he realize the other man had understood things differently. At his father’s funeral, he comforted his sobbing younger sister while planning to send her abroad. Once everyone else had left, he walked out of the cemetery alone, only to be intercepted by a black car. The person inside dragged him into the car and grabbed his hand, forcing him to sign two documents: A purchase agreement and a marriage certificate. · Cheng Shiying, of course, refused. He thought of himself as a man who could work with his own hands. He’d studied hard, after all. If he lost his money, he could earn it again. What was wrong with relying on his looks to make a living? A week later, he had to go to the United States to settle the company’s assets and restructure its debts. After five major banks’ impeccably dressed managers jointly kicked him out and told him he had fifteen days to find someone to take over the debt, Cheng Shiying spent the last few hundred dollars in his pocket bribing a bank doorman. With nowhere to go, he found a café in a forgotten corner of Wall Street and bought a three-dollar espresso to keep warm. With a coffee in his left hand and his last cigarette lit in his right, he finally understood how cold the world could be. Just then, a luxury car pulled up at the curb. A well-to-do professional seemed to be passing by and stopping for a coffee. The perceptive Chinese American executive passed the café entrance, then suddenly turned back. Smiling, he sat down across from Cheng Shiying. “You’re Mr. Cheng, aren’t you?” Holding half a cigarette, Cheng Shiying looked up in surprise. “You know me?” The executive smiled faintly, his gaze lingering on him. “Mr. Cheng... you’re quite famous in our circles.” Cheng Shiying caught the meaning in his eyes and wasn’t offended, only astonished. He hadn’t realized he was popular with men too? He’d always thought the only person who could like him was a weird kid like Chu He, whose brain was wired wrong. Just then, a loud crash came from the street. A Bentley slammed into a parked car, shattering both headlights and causing tens of thousands of dollars in damage. The homeless people on the block cried out in alarm. A handsome man stepped out of the Bentley, dressed in a black suit and black tie like a funeral director. He smiled faintly at the executive who’d been hitting on Cheng Shiying. Cheng Shiying looked at him through the smoke and silently added another charge against Chu He: haunting him like a ghost. ---Reader’s Guide--- 1. A possessive, obsessive, deeply twisted, ghost-like top x a steady, dependable, universally adored bottom who’s the pride of the heavens 2. A faux “forced marriage” plot. The ghost-like top has repeated episodes, but never succeeds in forcing anything 3. Read as marriage first, love later; written as mutual pining 4. The top loves him deeply, but he’s seriously twisted and has episodes from time to time --------Coming Soon: Desperate Beta and the Romance System Chen Wang is a desperate Beta. In a diverse society with three gender designations, the other two have their own devoted supporters. Omega-rights advocates accuse Alpha men of being systemic oppressors, paternalistic, and prone to violence, while straight-A fanatics shout online every day that Omegas should stay home and raise children. Betas keep their heads down. A diligent worker bee of society, Chen Wang sits at his workstation and types away, never getting involved in Alpha-Omega disputes. Whenever he sees posts like that, he scrolls right past. But deep down, Chen Wang is an extreme anti-AO partisan. He doesn’t favor one side over the other. He thinks everyone involved is an idiot! In high school, an Alpha at the next desk ordered him to hand over his homework so the Alpha’s cute little Omega could copy it, only for all three assignments to turn out identical. In college, he had to listen to three Alpha-Omega couples in the dorms above and below him argue day and night. Then, at his first job after graduation, he was caught up in a romance dispute between his Alpha boss and an Omega intern and got thrown under the bus. Chen Wang just wants to stay as far away as possible from those Alpha-Omega couples who lock eyes and practically send sparks flying! But fate had other plans. One day, while Chen Wang was working late at the office, a halo suddenly appeared above his head in the pitch-black room. For a moment, Chen Wang thought he’d died at his desk and was ascending to heaven. But the next instant, a sweet mechanical voice sounded in his ear: “Hello, Host~ Welcome to the Romance System~” From then on, Chen Wang would occasionally hear the System’s prompts in certain situations. For example, when a new executive from the Planning Department next door paused briefly while passing their office, an electronic voice immediately sounded in Chen Wang’s ear: “Affection +10.” Chen Wang’s typing hand stopped. But he wasn’t naive enough to think an Alpha had taken a fancy to him. Chen Wang calmly turned around and, sure enough, saw the cute little Omega from the Marketing Department next door watering the plants on the windowsill. The cute Omega seemed to notice someone watching him. He turned around, and his gaze naturally passed over Chen Wang to land on the Alpha behind him. “Affection +10.” Chen Wang: Okay, got it. The next day, he moved every potted plant from the windowsill into the common hallway. The Alpha and Omega never appeared before him again, and a month later Chen Wang heard that they’d gotten married. Chen Wang quietly added a new item to his KPI and concluded that the country ought to reward him for his outstanding contribution to the birth rate. In short, the System wasn’t much help with Chen Wang’s own love life, but it did help him avoid a lot of trouble caused by Alpha-Omega couples. Chen Wang’s heart was sealed in concrete. When he was seven, his Alpha-Omega parents left him behind on the excuse that they were going on their fourth honeymoon, and he survived on instant noodles for a week. That was when he vowed he’d never join the ranks of those Alpha-Omega couples or let romance interfere with his noble Beta character. But lately, he’s had a small problem. Su Qifei is his childhood friend and his only non-Beta friend. He’s an Omega and incredibly good-looking, but ever since childhood, Su Qifei has focused on his studies and career. He’s never been like some other Omegas who go weak in the knees at the sight of an Alpha with even a halfway decent face. Chen Wang treasures this friend and has secretly vowed to protect his childhood pal from being led astray by an Alpha. But recently, Chen Wang has noticed that everyone around him seems to have fallen for Su Qifei. His former boss, a senior from college, his employer’s rich second-generation son, the college student next door... whenever he brings Su Qifei along, their affection scores shoot up!! Chen Wang is on high alert. His childhood friend is beautiful and kind, so it’s only natural that Alphas would be interested in him. He decides to carefully consider which of these Alphas is the best match for his good friend. But while he’s investigating, Su Qifei suddenly asks to see him alone. “Xiao Wang.” His beautiful, kind childhood friend gazes at him with those bright eyes, framed by curling lashes, and says softly, “I like you.” Chen Wang: ...? He freezes solid. Before he can react, Su Qifei continues, “Also, I’m actually an Alpha.” Chen Wang: ...???!!! Chen Wang is completely rigid. There’s only one question on his mind: If Su Qifei is an Alpha, what on earth have all the other Alphas around him been getting affection points for? Is Alpha-Alpha romance really that popular now?? A quick heads-up: 1. This is not an Alpha-Alpha romance. Everyone likes Xiao Wang 2. This is the story of a beautiful but oblivious Beta and his desperate Romance System Theme: Life has its ups and downs, but keep striving.
