I Married a Dragon by Contract!

Cool, aloof beta diver Xu He Zhu x gentle, scheming dragon-clan doctor gong

Diver He Zhu is a beta: aloof and taciturn, he is widely recognized as a diving prodigy. He has set one world record after another and is a force even the finest alphas cannot surpass.

At one competition, he once again performed an almost perfect dive, drawing gasps from the entire crowd.

Afterward, a swarm of reporters rushed over to interview him. One asked, "Is He Zhu single right now? When are you planning to start dating?"

Facing the cameras, He Zhu replied coldly, "Dating would only affect my diving. I have no plans to do that."

That night, in the team doctor's office, Ren Jing Xu had He Zhu held in his arms. The cold arrogance he had shown that day was gone; his face was flushed, and he was meek and compliant.

Trembling, he gripped Ren Jing Xu's forearm. When Ren Jing Xu bit the back of his neck, he let out a needy whimper and whispered, "Y-you... be gentle."

Ren Jing Xu continued to lick and kiss He Zhu's gland, asking gently, "Single? No plans to date? Then what about our marriage certificate, hmm?"

One day, He Zhu suddenly presented as an omega. Not only did this affect his diving, but his family also pressured him into an arranged marriage.

The team doctor, Ren Jing Xu, was an alpha and a chief physician despite his young age. Gentle and refined, with waist-length silver hair and beauty that transcended gender, he was the perfect husband. He said he was ill and needed He Zhu's pheromones.

Each had something the other needed, so they agreed to a one-year marriage.

After the wedding, Ren Jing Xu spoiled He Zhu to no end. He Zhu couldn't help falling for him, but gradually began to notice that something was off.

For one thing, strange scales would occasionally appear in the corner of their room. Then there was the weather: one moment, rain was pouring down, and the moment he stepped outside, the sky would clear. And Ren Jing Xu's tiny wounds healed almost instantly when they got wet...

Just as He Zhu put his suspicions aside and prepared to confess, he accidentally caught Ren Jing Xu in the home swimming pool, dragon horns and a huge dragon tail revealed, speaking to someone with his back to He Zhu. "How could I possibly like him? I only married him for the dragon pearl inside him..."

Ren Jing Xu was a member of the East Sea Dragon Clan. He had accidentally fallen into another world, and the only way to survive was to find his lost dragon pearl before his magic ran out.

So he used magic to make himself fit perfectly into this world.

A hundred years later, he met He Zhu and sensed the dragon pearl's presence on him.

He found a way to get close to He Zhu and proposed a marriage of convenience, claiming he had a glandular disorder.

Then, one day, after denying that he liked He Zhu, he turned around and came face-to-face with He Zhu's cold expression...

Coming Soon: Do Not Covet the Honest Man's Replacement

(Honest, ordinary shou x abstinent, scheming gong; age gap, ABO)

Everyone said Ruan Li Zhi was lucky. He was just an ordinary, honest beta, yet he had managed to marry Xun Zheng, the top alpha who headed the Xun family, and their marriage was blissful.

At first, Ruan Li Zhi thought so too. Then he and an omega were caught in a car accident. At the moment of life and death, Xun Zheng rescued the omega, while Ruan Li Zhi was blown to pieces when the car exploded.

After his death, Ruan Li Zhi was bound to a system and learned that the omega was Xun Zheng's unattainable ideal, and that Xun Zheng had chosen him as a substitute solely because his eyes resembled the omega's.

The System said that Ruan Li Zhi could come back to life only if he brought Xun Zheng and his ideal together.

So he used the System to return.

When little Xun Zheng was ignored by the nanny and left without a meal...

Ruan Li Zhi diligently fed him.

The System was at a loss: Hey! Weren't you supposed to engineer a chance encounter with Xun Zheng's childhood crush?

Ruan Li Zhi: But Xun Zheng is hungry. He looks so pitiful.

*

When teenage Xun Zheng went through his presentation...

Ruan Li Zhi was about to go find the omega, but Xun Zheng looked at him with those beautiful, cool eyes. "Senior, help me..."

The System shrieked: Don't say yes!

Ruan Li Zhi: But Xun Zheng has a high fever. He looks like he's suffering.

In the end, Ruan Li Zhi couldn't leave the infirmary for a long time.

*

When adult Xun Zheng got drunk at a banquet...

Ruan Li Zhi was about to open Xun Zheng's bedroom door for the omega, but Xun Zheng cornered him and kissed him greedily and tenderly. "Li Li, just this once, okay?"

The System went berserk: He's not drunk at all! Don't let him fool you! Aaaah!

Then it was blocked for the whole night.

The System: ...

Ruan Li Zhi was handsome, sweet, and obedient. Xun Zheng fell in love with him at first sight, and being with him was the luckiest thing that had ever happened to Xun Zheng.

But one day, a force took control of Xun Zheng. He could only watch as the person he loved most died in a raging fire, while an omega was forced into his arms.

That force compelled him to be with the omega. Xun Zheng resisted again and again, throwing himself from high buildings again and again, only to wake each time in the car accident that had brought him so much pain.

Until one time, he opened his eyes and found himself back in his childhood. Ruan Li Zhi, who should have died, kept appearing in his life, staying by his side as he grew up.

The only thing that displeased Xun Zheng was that Ruan Li Zhi was still a bit slow, and remained determined to set him up with that omega.

Xun Zheng hid his gloomy gaze. It didn't matter. He had plenty of ways to make Ruan Li Zhi his!

Little Scene:

Ruan Li Zhi handed Xun Zheng the omega's love letter and asked anxiously, "Can you accept it?"

Xun Zheng smiled faintly. "Sure. Let me kiss you for five minutes."

Ruan Li Zhi hesitated, then obediently said, "All right."
