[Fake Succubus Beta Top X Real Ghost Alpha Bottom]
Tang Guansu is a Beta, but he has pheromones. Anyone who smells them will fall helplessly in love with him within half a month.
This isn't an inborn gift. It's a vicious curse.
So he ran away from his succession ceremony, and stayed gone for three years.
Three years isn't a short time, but it's long enough for someone to become a different person. When Tang Guansu returned to the military, almost no one recognized him.
Except the current Marshal, Bai Xiran, who made his life a complete mess.
All kinds of tasks, whether they were Tang Guansu's responsibility or not, ended up on his plate. Even when he hadn't done anything wrong, he was repeatedly summoned to the office area alone over made-up accusations. Bai Xiran even glared at him with icy eyes in front of everyone, never giving him the time of day.
Tang Guansu initially told himself to put up with it. Once he'd repaid the favor he'd owed for three months, it would all be over. But he just couldn't take it.
Ever since his first day back at the military, things kept going missing. At first it was his ties, medals, cuff links, and fountain pens. Later, it was his shirts and coats.
He stared blankly at the tenth coat he'd requested this month. Who had so much time on their hands?
But when he found an Alpha Marshal in heat inside his wardrobe, he knew the answer.
