The first time Shen Ruojin went through pheromone matching, she met Pei Xuechen, an omega who looked remarkably like the person she'd had a crush on as a girl.
At first, she indulged Pei Xuechen in everything, turning a blind eye to his arrogance and affectation, and to the way he spoiled and belittled her.
Gradually, she realized that Pei Xuechen was nothing like the person she'd once secretly loved.
Shen Ruojin decisively took back all her tenderness and favoritism, then walked away without hesitation.
Pei Xuechen came from a prominent family and was proud and arrogant by nature. He had always treated Shen Ruojin with cool disdain, looking down on her. He thought a commoner like her would spend her whole life revolving around him.
But after she left, he had already become addicted to the love she gave him. Without it, he was suffocating, close to death.
More and more people were discovering how wonderful she was: the innocent, cute-act-loving college student; the insecure older man who spent lavishly; the handsome, stylish male influencer...
Once so pampered and proud, he could now only resort to every lowly tactic he could think of, humbling himself to beg Shen Ruojin to spare him a little love.
He became debauched, abandoning all omega propriety. Beneath his cool, austere business suit, he hid a pink, strappy maid outfit and a cat tail, doing everything he could to seduce Shen Ruojin into staying.
His crimson tongue and trembling lashes brushed Shen Ruojin's lips. His eyes reddened with tears, and his voice, fragile and utterly pleading, whispered, "Please, darling, be gentle with Xiao Xue."
He knew there was an invisible chain around his neck, and the other end was in Shen Ruojin's hand.

3. The ex-chasing crematorium trope.
