So many romance novels pile on angst for angst's sake, distort their characters without realizing it, and descend into chaotic, jumbled plots. Eventually, the worldlines have to start over, and the protagonists break free of their constraints and develop awareness of their own...
World One: [The Cruel Alpha]
He Yan, son of a financial tycoon, was famous throughout Nancy High, a school that fancied itself an aristocratic institution. He had always looked down on everyone, full of himself. After all, in this country where politics had become commercialized, the He family controlled thirty percent of the economy.
But when the darling of the heavens fell for a commoner Omega, he went from being utterly smitten to getting his comeuppance. He Yan's personality changed completely: from a cruel, arrogant Alpha to a devoted, clingy husband who wouldn't leave his lover alone.
He even staged a dramatic runaway pregnancy.
After He Yan awakened to his own consciousness, he found the Omega who openly provoked him annoying. But according to the original setting, this Omega's pheromones were almost a perfect match for his. Even the faintest trace of pheromones escaping in panic could throw He Yan's pheromones into disarray and send him into heat...
He hated the feeling of being controlled by pheromones. His longtime close friend Qin Sui saved him, stopping him from marking the Omega under the influence of his pheromones and repeating the same mistakes.
He Yan came to his senses amid the chaos and coolly thanked his good friend.
Qin Sui merely shrugged. "I know you don't like him. As your best friend, of course I had to save you from a disaster."
He never said how he had saved him. He Yan only found out later that Qin Sui, despite being an Alpha, often had swollen glands covered in bite marks, enduring the kind of marking an Alpha shouldn't have to endure.
When He Yan confronted him, Qin Sui just smiled unconcernedly. "It's fine. Alphas can't really mark each other. It's only a temporary mark, and it doesn't hurt at all."
In reality, after every marking, he would spend a day in the hospital because their pheromones repelled each other.
