[This will be my next book.]
As an ordinary beta among the countless betas in an ABO world, Wen Lang has long had her future clearly mapped out:
Step one: Get out of the filthy, stinking slums.
Step two: Work like a beast at a mediocre company.
Step three: Save up enough money to settle down with another beta.
Wen Lang never complains about her circumstances, so she pulls off all three steps with ease.
But on her wedding day, when a handsome, cold-eyed alpha presses a gun to her beta husband's temple and forces Wen Lang to admit that he is her husband, she finally realizes that everything had gone wrong from the very first step.

When Wen Lang left Erythes Street Twelve, she was penniless. The only thing she felt reluctant to leave behind was the pretty boy in the shabby little house next door.
When she quit her job, Wen Lang had achieved a little success. The person she couldn't quite forget was now the handsome superior she'd met only a few times.
By the time she was about to get married, Wen Lang could be called a beta success story. She had only the slightest soft spot for one of her husband's friends, a widower.
Later, Wen Lang had nothing left to miss, because...
She had everything.
Reading guide:
1. Female betas and male alphas and betas. Includes betrothed husbands, a widower stepdad with a stepson, brothers turning against each other, and more, all thrown into one big stew.
2. The heroine isn't a virgin, while all the men are. This will be the default for my future books, so I won't mention it again.
3. A sweet, corporate-drone beta, but not the obedient sort. No age gap romance.
Theme: Work hard and reach the top
