The Pheromone Paradox

Writing isn't easy. Please support original works.

Cool, strong, universally adored Omega bottom X lovesick puppy Alpha

Chu Xun is forced to appear on a dating reality show with his nemesis, Alpha Jian Qizhou, to clear their names.

That very night, the ship name "Chu Hand Can Hold Qizhou" shot to the top of the trending list.

The dating show has an elimination format.

Contestants must complete tasks to earn points, and the contestant with the fewest points is eliminated each week.

Task One,

The contestants must eliminate one another in a dangerous jungle. Their final rankings determine the order in which they get to choose.

Chu Xun eliminated the other Alphas at astonishing speed.

He opened his communicator. "Jian Qizhou, meet me at Camp Two."

Jian Qizhou coasted through the whole task and, to everyone's envy, successfully enjoyed a free ride.

The two chose each other and locked in their couple status, earning a mountain of points and moving into the most luxurious house on the show.

Task Two,

The contestants must drink a potion that turns them into beastfolk, go undercover in the beastfolk world, and collect the gemstones most prized by beastfolk.

After Chu Xun drank the potion, fluffy white fox ears appeared atop his cool silver hair, and a big, bushy white tail sprouted behind him.

The entire internet went crazy taking screenshots. Hngh, hngh, hubby, I'm coming!!

Jian Qizhou angrily blocked the camera with his body, while his wolf tail quietly curled around that patch of white fur.

Chu Xun looked at the black tail clinging to him, angrily lashed out with his own tail, and smacked Jian Qizhou across the face.

His icy, gray eyes looked down at the black wolf. "Don't come near me without permission."

The black wolf lay down dejectedly to one side, blinking his blue eyes as he gazed pitifully at the white fox.

Not long after, the white fox glanced at him. "Come warm my feet."

The black wolf raced over, wagging his tail, and curled around the soft, lovely little white fox.

Task Three,

The contestants stay where they are, watch a romantic meteor shower, and one by one, start kissing.

Jian Qizhou looked at the Omega's soft, rosy lips and murmured, "Chu Xun, have you ever kissed anyone?"

Chu Xun looked at him in confusion. "What do kisses have to do with points?"

Jian Qizhou muted his mic and leaned close to his ear to coax him. "Look, everyone's kissing. If we don't, the audience will get suspicious."

Chu Xun frowned, held the Alpha's face in his hands, and kissed him.

The dating show's live comments flooded with exclamation marks.

[Aaaah, I'm dying from shipping them! They're really together now, right?!]

[I thought Chu Chu would punch Diss-ge, but I never expected this!!]

[Oh my god, I hereby declare that my husband and wife are together!!]

[Ah!! If Chu Chu didn't like Diss-ge, he wouldn't have agreed! Aaaah, does anyone get it?]

[I shipped them and it came true!!! They actually got together!!]

[Leopard and kitty, I have been born!! Please go at it after the cameras are off!]

Only afterward did Chu Xun realize he'd been tricked. He slapped the Alpha twice as a warning.

With bright red handprints on his face, Jian Qizhou walked into the bathroom, his expression dark.

The water ran for a long time, but outside, Chu Xun heard the Alpha letting out low, husky pants from inside.

He cursed aloud. "Pervert, beast!"

Jian Qizhou chuckled softly, his sounds growing even less restrained.

Currently Serialized: The Foolish Merman Lost His Memory and Ascended the Throne

A couple with a huge size difference / freely switches between three forms: merman, human, and fish

Soft, confident, poisonous little sea hare bottom who loves to eat X A scheming, unhinged merman king who's never been in a relationship

Bai Rongrong woke up to find his mind completely blank and his body covered in suggestive red marks.

As if he remembered some fragment, the tiny fluffy feelers on his head instantly turned bright yellow.

He was lying on the bed in a huge, luxurious palace, covered by a silver robe symbolizing imperial authority.

An old merman who looked like a servant pushed open the door and bowed before him.

He called out, "Your Majesty, you're awake?"

Bai Rongrong looked at the imperial robe on his body, his gaze gradually becoming resolute. "I'm awake!"

Servant: !!!

The merman king behind him: ???

Bai Rongrong: o.o

The merman king frowned and sat up, his deep voice filled with confusion. "Your Majesty?"

Hearing the voice, Bai Rongrong hurriedly turned around. The man before him was stunningly beautiful, his clothes half open.

They were sharing a bed, and the man was a top-tier beauty, so he had to be...!

He excitedly grabbed the beauty's hand. "My consort, I think I've lost my memory!"

The servant prostrated on the floor, breaking into a cold sweat as he kowtowed frantically.

"Your Majesty, spare me! Your Majesty, please spare me!"

Seeing that Bai Rongrong didn't seem to be faking it, the merman king summoned a witch doctor to examine his brain.

Witch Doctor: "The sea hare clan loves eating blue-ringed sea anemones. This person accidentally ate a highly poisonous basket-ringed sea anemone, which looks very similar to the blue-ringed kind. The toxins reached his brain and caused his memory loss."

Merman King: "...Can it be cured?"

Witch Doctor: "Although the sea anemone is highly poisonous, the sea hare clan has eaten it for centuries and developed resistance to the toxin.

The Consort will recover on his own within three months!"

The merman king rubbed his temples in frustration. It would take another three months.

The next day,

Bai Rongrong got up, saw the little mushroom on the bed, and let out another piercing shriek!

The merman woke up with a headache. "...What's wrong this time?"

Bai Rongrong clasped the merman king's hand with a sorrowful expression.

"My consort, I won't be able to dote on you anymore! I've developed a hidden illness!!!"

His little mushroom had fallen off, wuwuwuwuwuwu.

The merman king summoned the witch doctor again to examine Bai Rongrong.

Witch Doctor: "Your Majesty, don't worry. This is a natural part of growth."

"The sea hare clan is hermaphroditic. After each heat, their member falls off, then grows back again."

The merman king looked at Bai Rongrong, who couldn't sleep, was heartbroken, and was making a tremendous fuss.

He asked, "How long until a new one grows?"

The witch doctor thought for a moment. "One month."

The merman king considered this, then curled his lips into a sly smile. He quietly reassured Bai Rongrong:

"Your Majesty, don't worry. I have a secret remedy. If I infuse you with yang energy every day, it will help it grow."

Bai Rongrong wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes and looked up in delight.

"Really? My consort, you're so kind! Though I'm making you suffer."

The merman king kissed the tears from the corners of his eyes. "As long as Your Majesty recovers, I don't mind suffering."

To grow a new little mushroom,

Bai Rongrong wasn't afraid of hardship or exhaustion. He clung to his consort every day and night, turning day into night.

Three months later, Bai Rongrong regained his memories, and the fluffy feelers on his head turned red with anger!

Supporting his aching waist, he walked out of the palace and cursed, "You lying bastard! You shameless scoundrel! You stinking pervert!"
