I Was Supposed to Get a Wife, Not This!

A whiny, wolfish, cuddly big dog of a younger Alpha × a sinister, scheming big shot of an older Omega

With the help of a self-proclaimed spouse-support System, Ji Qing nearly transmigrated into the wrong point in time. At last, he arrived at the moment when the villainous big shot had reached the pinnacle of life, wielding power and influence.

He thought he was finally about to enjoy the sweet life of attaching himself to a powerful man. He didn't think it was beneath him: the person who plants the tree deserves to enjoy its shade, and since he was the one who planted it, he ought to be the one enjoying the shade.

Who would have thought that the moment he opened his eyes, he'd be fighting for his life against a giant lion in an arena? His wife was the mastermind behind everything, and she didn't even recognize him anymore?

Ji Qing: Great, it's my darling wife after her corruption arc. We're so~oo~doomed~

The memories of their first two encounters were still fresh in his mind. Ji Qing tried desperately to awaken his lover's memories, but they lived in a turbulent era where the situation could change in an instant. The great hand of fate tossed the two of them about and tangled them together, until they came together, by design or by chance...

Wen Lan had been a pitiful child, unloved by both parents, and had suffered from an early age. He lost his father as a child and his husband in his youth. His captivating appearance attracted countless admirers and brought him no end of trouble.

Wen Lan gradually discovered another use for the man kneeling nearby. Pinching a photograph on the table between his index and ring fingers, he asked, "Do you like him?"

He had been born for this.

Ji Qing swallowed. His gaze swept over the big shot, who appeared to be smiling with gentle innocence, without sparing the photograph a glance. Kneeling on the floor, he shuffled on his knees to Wen Lan's feet. His eyes were beautiful. When he looked up, his pupils pressed against his thin upper eyelids, and the corners of his eyes drooped. His amber irises gazed, dewy-eyed, at the man seated above him, as if he were a little dog anyone could do whatever they pleased with. "I don't like him."

"Oh? Then who do you like? Me?" Wen Lan's lips curled with interest.

"I only like you."

Almost as soon as Wen Lan finished speaking, Ji Qing answered urgently. He knelt ramrod straight, reaching out as if to grasp the other's ankle, then hesitating and lowering his hand. "I can do lots of things for you. I want to stay by your side forever. Please, don't send me away."
