Gu Qingjia is a traditional Alpha in certain ways, and all he wants is to find an Omega to marry. But he keeps striking out in the dating scene.
After another failed blind date, Gu Qingjia drowns his sorrows in alcohol and runs into Liang Yan, the head of the Liang Group, whom he knows through work.
Liang Yan is also an Alpha who has been single forever. Thinking they are both in the same boat, Gu Qingjia has a few more drinks with him.
The result? They both get carried away while drunk, and the two Alphas end up in bed together for the night.
Gu Qingjia wakes up heartbroken, but Liang Yan suddenly says he wants to marry him in a contract marriage.
Liang Yan suffers from pheromone dysregulation syndrome, and only Gu Qingjia, whose pheromones are a 100% match for his, can help treat him.
Gu Qingjia: "Why should I help you?"
Liang Yan opens the contract. "Because I can immediately set you up with a mansion and a luxury car, and give you two million a month for living expenses?"
Hearing this, Gu Qingjia promptly picks up a pen. To hell with the laws of nature and personal dignity. I'm just a helpful person, after all. Where do I sign?
The two marry under a contract with no set end date. Gu Qingjia moves in with Liang Yan and regularly uses his pheromones to help treat him. Once Liang Yan's pheromone dysregulation is cured, they'll divorce.
Except...
In the dead of night, Gu Qingjia tries to push Liang Yan away. "You didn't say treating you would involve going this far!"
Liang Yan pins his hands down. "Shh. Don't pretend to be innocent, Lawyer Gu. Don't you know what a spouse's marital duties are? Besides, this is how the treatment works."
Gu Qingjia: "..."
Gu Qingjia hasn't told Liang Yan that, apart from loving money, he also suffers from skin hunger.
So, in truth, he can't resist Liang Yan's touch.
After some time, everything is going smoothly, except that Gu Qingjia's back is a little strained.
But just then, Liang Yan gets into a car accident and wakes up with selective amnesia.
Liang Yan forgets all about their contract marriage. Familiar with Gu Qingjia's pheromones, he is convinced that Gu Qingjia is his beloved, even when Gu Qingjia pulls out the contract to show him.
Liang Yan muses, "I seem to remember us arguing all the time. This contract must have been a joke we made in the heat of the moment."
Gu Qingjia is speechless. "...We argue all the time because two Alphas together really goes against the laws of nature. Not getting along is just instinct!"
Liang Yan comforts him. "All right, don't be mad. I bought you ten jin of gold as a gift. Do you like it?"
Gu Qingjia: "...It's really hard not to like that."
So, besides continuing to treat Liang Yan, Gu Qingjia takes on another job: playing the love-struck partner to Liang Yan, who has become a hopeless romantic since losing his memory, and keeping him happy in body and spirit to help him recover.
Unexpectedly, Liang Yan even wants to take Gu Qingjia on a marriage reality show produced by the Liang Group's entertainment subsidiary, just to show off their relationship.
For the appearance fee, Gu Qingjia agrees to act, tears in his eyes.
But... the longer he acts, the more wrong it feels.
On the show, Liang Yan calls him "Qingjia" one moment and "honey" the next. He wants to hold hands when they walk, kiss whenever the show's schedule temporarily separates them, and cuddle him tight at night. Under the pretext of saving time, he insists they shower together, which ends up taking even longer. Everything he does is aimed at getting Gu Qingjia to fulfill his marital duties...
The viewers love it: As expected of pheromones with a 100% match! Even two Alphas can be this affectionate!
Liang Yan answers with a straight face, "It's not the pheromones. Qingjia and I truly love each other from the bottom of our hearts."
Gu Qingjia: "...Help!"
Although Gu Qingjia, who suffers from skin hunger, rather likes being touched, he decides that once the show is over, he'll end the contract no matter whether Liang Yan agrees. He doesn't want to become dependent on him!
But on the final day of the show, just before Gu Qingjia can bring up divorce, he suddenly faints in front of everyone and is diagnosed as pregnant.
Gu Qingjia: "???" How could an Alpha get pregnant? What a quack!
The viewers: As expected, true love works miracles!
Liang Yan: Thank you all for your blessings.
Gu Qingjia: "..."

Upcoming Story 1: The Spendthrift Spoiled Brat Who Married His Archenemy
Blurb:
In his previous life, Jiang Zhi turned down a business marriage and fell out with his family for the sake of his penniless first love.
He went through hardship after hardship, supporting his first love's education and career, only for his sweetheart to climb into high society and dump him.
Meanwhile, the Jiang family went bankrupt.
Watching the Jiang family elders and children sob, Jiang Zhi steeled himself and went to the man whose marriage offer he had once rejected: Lu Yuting, the current head of the Lu family and his lifelong archenemy.
Lu Yuting asked him, "The Jiang family is a bottomless pit. Why should I help you?"
Jiang Zhi also thought Lu Yuting wouldn't help. He braced himself to be mocked and thrown out.
But Lu Yuting continued, "Marry me, and I'll help you."
In a daze, Jiang Zhi agreed, but they still didn't get married.
He was killed in a car accident on his way back to the Jiang family.
In the blink of an eye, Jiang Zhi was reborn, back at the moment when he had just rejected the business marriage.
He hurried after Lu Yuting, who hadn't gone far, and took back his words. "I'll marry you!"
Jiang Zhi kept changing his mind, but Lu Yuting didn't hold it against him, and the two married without a hitch.
After the wedding, Jiang Zhi devoted himself to his career, hoping to save the Jiang Group.
In the end, the Jiang family still went bankrupt, even earlier than in his previous life.
Jiang Zhi: "..."
Lu Yuting shoved cards and checks into his hands. "Stop trying to make money. Go have fun spending it."
Furious and heartbroken, Jiang Zhi decided to show Lu Yuting just how good he was at spending money.
Jiang Zhi began casting a wide net:
This gallery went under in my previous life. I'll invest in it.
This drama was a total flop in my previous life. I'll invest in it.
This esports team got mocked into withdrawing from the competition in my previous life. I'll invest in it.
And the results?
The gallery owner, who was also a painter, felt that at last a discerning patron had recognized his talent. Fired up with gratitude, he created a stunning new masterpiece that brought the gallery back from the brink.
With a deep-pocketed investor who didn't interfere with production, the director poured his heart into the drama without worrying about costs. Not only did it become a huge hit, it also made stars of a whole cast of newcomers.
The esports team wanted to prove their worth to their hard-won investor. They exceeded all expectations and won the championship.
Jiang Zhi had meant to squander his money, but ended up making a fortune.
He became known as a bold and astute "Midas touch." They say that anything he invests in becomes an industry-shaking dark horse.
In this life, Jiang Zhi dumped his scumbag first love early, and the man was left with a miserable life.
After seeing the news, the scumbag first love arranged a chance encounter, hoping to rekindle Jiang Zhi's old feelings and get him to invest.
Jiang Zhi had planned to toy with the scumbag.
Lu Yuting impatiently pulled him away. "You can play with anything else, but not this."
Jiang Zhi: "Are you jealous?"
Lu Yuting: "I'm going to eat you."

Upcoming Story 2: After the Villainous Boy Became Pregnant with the Male Lead's Child
Blurb:
Meng Shuangxi transmigrates into a book, a motivational story about the imperial examinations, and becomes a minor villain destined to be cannon fodder, a boy of the special male-birthing gender.
Boys of his kind are beautiful but low in status. The Meng family hopes to send Meng Shuangxi into the palace to compete for the emperor's favor, so they want to establish his reputation as both talented and beautiful and improve his chances.
But Meng Shuangxi is a hopeless case, so the Meng family simply kidnaps a gifted scholar with no family connections who has come to the capital to take the imperial exams. They keep him at the Meng residence to ghostwrite for Meng Shuangxi. The scholar's name is Yan Chuyun, and he is the protagonist of this very story about the imperial examinations.
According to the original plot, Meng Shuangxi and the entire Meng family will eventually be exiled. After suffering terribly in exile, they will meet miserable deaths.
He has only just transmigrated into the book when a servant reports that they have already beaten Yan Chuyun badly and brought him back... Meng Shuangxi's vision goes black.
To make amends, Meng Shuangxi visits the courtyard where Yan Chuyun is being held and greets him warmly. "Brother Yan, it's all a misunderstanding. I simply admire your talent and wanted to invite you as a guest."
Yan Chuyun has bruises on his face and his hands and feet are still tied up. He responds with a cold laugh.
Meng Shuangxi: "..."
To save his own life, Meng Shuangxi diligently starts ingratiating himself with Yan Chuyun. He provides him with food and lodging, buys him books, brushes, ink, paper, and inkstones, and even helps him reunite early with his birth parents, the Grand Princess's family... He keeps at it until Yan Chuyun passes the imperial exam as its top scholar, and then the two celebrate with a drink.
They drink too much and wake up the next day in the same bed.
Meng Shuangxi clutches the quilt, his eyes blank. "It was an accident! I didn't arrange this on purpose!"
Yan Chuyun is utterly composed. "Since it has happened, why don't we move our wedding date forward?"
Meng Shuangxi: "???"
What wedding date? Who's marrying whom?
Meng Shuangxi can't handle it, so he simply runs away.
Not long after fleeing, Meng Shuangxi discovers that he's pregnant. He has no choice but to settle somewhere and tell everyone that he's a young widower carrying his late husband's child.
One day, someone knocks on the courtyard gate. Meng Shuangxi opens it to find Yan Chuyun outside, newly enthroned as emperor.
Yan Chuyun says, "Now that I'm emperor, I can grant your wish to become empress. Come back with me."
Meng Shuangxi stares at him in confusion.
Wait... When did he ever say he wanted to become empress?
