Their personalities change dramatically over time.] A love-struck top who becomes possessive × a cold-blooded, controlling bottom who develops Stockholm syndrome Pei Xiling is known as the omega everyone in the empire wants to marry. He comes from a wealthy family, and he's gentle and beautiful, yet he falls head over heels for a penniless alpha. To be with him, Pei Xiling helps the alpha build a business from nothing. Ambitious and ruthless, the alpha soon becomes a powerful figure feared by all, and keeps his promise by marrying Pei Xiling. Pei Xiling thinks the hard times are finally behind them. Little does he know, this is only the beginning of a nightmare. Pei Xiling can't help Feng Wu through his heat, and the alpha often brings different omegas home, treating him as if he doesn't exist. Heartbroken and with nowhere left to turn, Pei Xiling undergoes surgery. But an accident causes him to second-differentiate from an omega into an alpha. * Feng Wu was born in the Lower City and would do anything to claw his way up. Then he rescued a beautiful omega, and the two fell in love at first sight, soon becoming lovers. With the omega's help, Feng Wu successfully avenges himself. He rises to a position he never imagined reaching and marries the omega he has always longed for. But the longer they're married, the more restless he becomes. His wife can do nothing about it, so Feng Wu turns to other people. Then one night, his wife cries in front of him and hands him a medical report. Only then does he learn that his wife has second-differentiated into an alpha. Their compatibility is so low that Feng Wu has long suspected something was wrong. Now he has found a more suitable omega to marry, someone with high compatibility who can also help his career. He plans to fake a divorce from his wife. Once everything is ready, Feng Wu faces his wife, who is almost taller than him, and hands him the divorce papers, promising to support him for the rest of his life. His wife silently takes the papers, then suddenly asks, “Are you going into heat?” Feng Wu is indeed going into heat, but his wife couldn't help him when he was an omega, let alone now that he's an alpha. What he never expects is for his wife to suddenly rise. The gentle pheromones he remembers pin him firmly in place… 1. This is a melodramatic story, and neither lead is a perfect person. If that bothers you, don't read. If you have a low tolerance for this kind of thing, don't read. 2. This isn't a role reversal. The top has never been penetrated. The bottom only seeks out omegas outside the marriage to mark them. There will be physical contact, but they absolutely never go all the way. If you have any requirements regarding sexual purity, don't read. The author enjoys all kinds of pairings and simply likes the setup of a promiscuous scumbag top being dominated. If it makes you uncomfortable, please stop reading. * After Picking Up My Down-and-Out, Heartless Ex-Husband Blurb: A gentle, raised-to-be-a-bride top who becomes ruthless × a proud, arrogant bottom, heaven's favored son When He Xueyuan is ten, his family suffers a sudden disaster. He's taken from the Lower City to the Jiang family and becomes the child bride of the Jiang family's eldest grandson. Jiang Siyao is a year older than him and the future heir to the Jiang family. He's exceptionally talented, and his test results predict he'll differentiate into a top-tier alpha. Still too young to understand much, He Xueyuan knows he'll marry his older brother one day, so he tries hard to become a good wife. But an accident changes everything. Jiang Siyao, who was expected to achieve great things, differentiates into the most ordinary beta, while He Xueyuan becomes a top-tier alpha. The Jiang family is furious and orders He Xueyuan to have his top-tier alpha gland transplanted into Jiang Siyao. He has no way to resist their power and is already prepared to give in. But on the day of the surgery, his instinct to survive overwhelms everything else. He loses control and marks Jiang Siyao before running away… * Six years later, He Xueyuan is living under an assumed name in the underworld. He thinks he's long since stopped caring about the past, until he hears that Jiang Siyao is about to hold a grand wedding with an omega from a wealthy family. That man is still the dazzling heir to the Jiang family, and now he's marrying an equally outstanding omega. On a whim, He Xueyuan takes a job that will bring him to the island where the wedding will be held. He just wants one last look at Jiang Siyao before finally letting go. But on the eve of the wedding, Jiang Siyao is seriously injured in an attack by his enemies. Perhaps it's finally karma catching up with him, yet He Xueyuan still can't help feeling sorry for him. He means to take Jiang Siyao to get treatment and leave it at that, but it turns out Jiang Siyao isn't only badly injured: he's also blind. Even unable to see, Jiang Siyao retains the arrogance etched into his very bones. “Take me back to the Jiang family. I'll give you a generous reward.” He Xueyuan laughs coldly. “A reward? Can I ask for anything?” Jiang Siyao is displeased by the mockery in his voice, but still answers, “Of course. The Jiang family never fails to reward those who help us.” Looking at Jiang Siyao's face, all the emotions He Xueyuan has held inside for years come rushing out. Since Jiang Siyao can't see or recognize him… why not be a little bolder and make him pay back every bit of the humiliation He Xueyuan suffered, with interest? “I'll take you back, but I want my reward in advance.” “What?” Jiang Siyao is getting impatient, but he can sense that the mood has shifted. He feels the other man lean closer. Fingers travel down and stop at his firm, flat abdomen. “It's simple… Your reward is to give me a child.” Theme: Finding a way out of the mire
