Fang Yin knew that marrying him was nothing more than a necessity for Xie Jiyu.

One was an alpha from a powerful, wealthy family, while the other was a beta illegitimate child no one wanted to acknowledge. Without their families' need for an alliance, they would never have ended up together.

So when Xie Jiyu asked to keep their marriage secret, Fang Yin agreed.

When Xie Jiyu was in heat, he was rough. "If you can't take the pain, you can ask for a divorce. I'll find someone who can handle it."

When Xie Jiyu caught Fang Yin having dinner with friends, he said, "If you want to cheat, ask for a divorce. I want to take responsibility for my health."

Even when he saw someone proposing to Fang Yin, Xie Jiyu said, "If you want to marry him, then ask for a divorce first."

Perhaps because Fang Yin had gone along with it for so many years, Xie Jiyu's attitude gradually softened.

Later, when Fang Yin was photographed holding a child and falsely accused of having an affair, Xie Jiyu even went public with their marriage, telling the cameras that they had known each other since they were young and had been a loving couple for many years.

Only when Fang Yin was kidnapped did he learn that Xie Jiyu had done it to divert the danger elsewhere.

So, in the depths of winter, Fang Yin dragged his frail, sick body to ask for a divorce.

Xie Jiyu grabbed his badly injured right hand, his voice colder than snow. "What makes you think you can divorce me just because you want to? Don't even think about it until you've given me a child."

But Xie Jiyu didn't know that their child was already gone. Fang Yin didn't want to follow in his mother's footsteps and give birth to another child to be used as a pawn.

Divorce was one way out. Becoming a widower was another. In his despair, Fang Yin decisively chose the latter.

In Xie Jiyu's eyes, Fang Yin was like a pale, indistinct shadow.

He wore glasses, barely spoke, and always meekly accepted whatever came his way. He was an utterly boring beta, never reacting much to anything Xie Jiyu said or did.

Until two things happened.

First, when Xie Jiyu was attacked, Fang Yin smoothly snatched a gun and shot his assailant. Behind his bloodstained glasses was a pair of cold, ruthless eyes.

Second, Fang Yin was arrested for murdering a close relative, with irrefutable evidence against him. The news caused a nationwide sensation.

Xie Jiyu realized that Fang Yin had hidden far too many things from him. But before he could ask, Fang Yin unexpectedly died in prison.

He calmly took care of Fang Yin's funeral and didn't shed a single tear.

A few days later, this alpha in heat charged into an entertainment club in full view of everyone, prompting people to gossip about how heartless the wealthy could be.

But Xie Jiyu hadn't gone looking for an omega. In the open garden on a cold winter night, he stood there with red-rimmed eyes, unable to find the ring he'd thrown away in front of Fang Yin.

The ring Fang Yin had given him with his own hands.

But Xie Jiyu never imagined Fang Yin was still alive. After exhausting himself to see Fang Yin again, all he could do was clutch him with trembling hands, wanting him to come back to his side.

But Fang Yin didn't even spare him a glance. He silently broke free of the alpha's grip.

Then he leaped from the building, disappearing from Xie Jiyu's sight once more.

* Alpha × Beta, melodrama, faked death, and a groveling pursuit of his spouse. One-on-one throughout, happy ending.
