I Can't Live Without You

“With purity as your ideal, like your pale cherry blossoms in disarray, like my cool mint steeped in water.”

“What I want to tell you is that I can't live without you.”

Gentle, devious top student Shen Yan × sharp-tongued, naturally gifted school bully Song Xiao

(Mint Alpha × Pale Cherry Omega)

◎ Song Xiao is an Omega who has transitioned from an Alpha. The first half takes place at school, the latter half in the city.

Elite lawyer × renowned voice actor

Song Xiao's greatest wish in life is for his younger sister to live well, untouched by anything that might taint her. When someone asks what about him, he just smiles and looks at the gentle man beside him, his voice beguiling:

“My wish has already come true.”

One day, back when he was fifteen and going through a rut, that man had already healed his scars.

“Can I take ‘My god’ to mean that you think of me as a deity?”

☞ 1. One-on-one romance, both are each other's first and only.

2. ABO setting, with heat and rut cycles.

3. Neither lead has a happy family life. They're two little bitter gourds who save each other.

4. The romance is prominent, with little focus on schoolwork. The story isn't mainly about studying, so proceed with caution if you're only here for a school setting.

5. All names and places are entirely fictional, except for real place names used as they are. Please don't associate the others with reality.

6. No ship-bashing or real-life comparisons. There are no real-life models.

“Soft winds warm the cherry petals, while swaying green clouds grow thin and sparse.”
