After the Alpha Gives Up, He Becomes an Enigma's Sweet Wife

Winter Snow x Plum Wine

Qi Nan and Lu Renxing were rival Alphas who got into fights whenever they ran into each other at school. After graduation, Qi Nan became a minor celebrity, and the two never saw each other again. Then one day, the Lu family suddenly announced they'd sent Qi's family a hundred million yuan in betrothal gifts.

Qi Nan was so bewildered he could hardly think straight. Where had Lu Renxing gotten that much money?

Besides, how could he marry Lu Renxing? Their compatibility was zero, and they used to feel so sick at the smell of each other's pheromones that they'd spend half the day throwing up.

Qi Nan couldn't help grumbling, "Is Lu Renxing some kind of pervert?!"

-

When Qi Nan saw Lu Renxing again, Lu Renxing had become a researcher. He was studying how to make Alphas become Enigmas early, and said he wanted to marry Qi Nan purely for the experiment.

Qi Nan had no reason to turn down the hundred-million-yuan betrothal gift, so he agreed to become the wife of this man, who had long since become an Enigma of the highest status.

At first, Lu Renxing just couldn't accept the idea of his archenemy not becoming an Enigma like him. Later, he realized that Qi Nan staying as he was wasn't so bad either.

Qi Nan: "What the hell are you up to?"

Lu Renxing: "Qi Nan, we've been enemies for so long. Want to try being my wife?"

-

Lu Renxing underwent a second differentiation into an Enigma as an adult. He's rumored to be a monstrous figure, obsessed with research and promiscuous, whom no one believes capable of genuine love.

Yet he married an Alpha and kept him at home like a prized possession.

Hardly anyone had actually seen his wife, so people often mocked him behind his back: "It's not like he really needs an Alpha. If an Omega can do everything, why bother with an Alpha? No one could handle an Enigma anyway."

They had no idea that the Alpha who claimed not to like Enigmas was being held and bitten by one, as he pointed at a certain part of him and couldn't hold himself back. "Nannan, do you know what happens when you grow one of these?"

Qi Nan's face flushed hot. He covered the Enigma's mouth. "Sh-Shut up."

Bonus Scene:

Fan: "Hubby, what kind of Omega do you like?"

Qi Nan looked at the camera, feeling strangely nervous. "I... I like the more dog-like kind."

Fan: "Huh?"

Qi Nan: "Don't ask. It'll give you nightmares tonight."

In front of the TV, the Enigma smiled knowingly. "Hmm? At least you know to hold back."

Content warnings:

Enigma, 193 cm x Alpha, 183 cm

The Alpha can turn into a pseudo-Omega.

The A goes into a very intense heat and wants to be held and bitten.

Lots of author's worldbuilding. A lighthearted, sweet romance.

Both are inexperienced, one-on-one romance.

A product of a manic writing session. The plot is made up, and this is the author's experimental self-indulgence. It may be very much not to your taste, so read with caution.

Theme: The process of striving is far more meaningful than the unknown result.
