[GB] [Female Alpha × Male Omega] [Many Original Settings]
The pinned announcement on the Federal Headquarters' official account listed all the benefits of marriage: prolonging alpha and omega lifespans, easing the pain of their special periods, preventing pheromones from going haywire, and so on.
There was one condition for these benefits: their pheromone compatibility with their partner had to be high enough.
In other words, an arranged marriage.
Xiao Qixun was of age, had broken up with her first love, and casually opened the marriage recommendation email sent by the government. She married the omega from the Chi family.
They were busy throughout their first year of marriage and barely made time to connect. When she finally had some time off and was ready to make up for their missed honeymoon, her ex had already returned.
When she came home at dawn, Chi Yao, whom she hadn't seen for days, flung the evening paper to the floor. The photo facing up showed Xiao Qixun talking to someone else, in a way that looked far too intimate.
"Him?" Xiao Qixun leaned back against the sofa, completely at ease. "He's the one I never got over."
After thousands of years in space, a law had been found in the genes of alphas and omegas: no matter what their past had been like, they would love each other forever after bonding for life. It was the two sets of genes surrendering to one another. After thousands of years of research, the Human Genetic Research Group recorded a single line: Section G-15273 was a gene that could not mutate, even after countless rounds of natural selection.
Xiao Qixun had fought against that gene. She didn't love Chi Yao; she only had eyes for the one she never got over.
Chi Yao could do nothing about it. He cried and made a scene, but in the end, all he could do was become even more like the person she longed for.
Only when Chi Yao had worn down his sharp edges and knelt obediently beside the sofa did Xiao Qixun deign to reach out to him.
"What about now? Do I look like him?"
The alpha fed him the red wine from her glass without a word.
"He's not the way you imagine him." Chi Yao's eyes were red.
Xiao Qixun wasn't angered by his words. "I know. But now you are."
So in the end, she chose him.
