Xia Yuqing is an S-rank omega and a racing team principal, so skilled that he inspires fear.
Bored during the off-season, he wrote a novel. Then one of its characters, Li Yihan, took issue with the plot and transmigrated into the real world. To make matters worse, he was recruited onto Xia Yuqing's team.
Seeing the anger on Li Yihan's face whenever he talked about the author, Xia Yuqing secretly hid his manuscript and thought to himself: I'd have to be an idiot to let you discover who I am.
The omega had just sworn not to provoke a certain dangerous character unless absolutely necessary when he was diagnosed with a pheromone disorder and told he didn't have long to live.
Perhaps because the other man was a character of his own creation, only his pheromones could keep Xia Yuqing alive.
The team doctor patted him on the shoulder. "At last, someone can keep you in check."
Xia Yuqing corrected him with a forced smile. "If anyone's keeping anyone in check, it'll be me keeping him in check."
Just as expected, the alpha walked step by step into the carefully woven trap Xia Yuqing had laid for him.
After directing the race, Xia Yuqing hid where the reporters and cameras couldn't see him. He undid his collar, swept up his long hair, and casually ordered the alpha who had secretly followed him, "Come bite me."
As he felt the other man bite his gland and refuse to let go, he remembered how brazenly Li Yihan had spoken in front of the cameras just moments ago and couldn't help laughing softly.
Xia Yuqing knew that if Li Yihan discovered he was the author, he would turn against him.
So that he could leave this relationship whenever he wanted, he kept the gland filled with Li Yihan's pheromones covered up when they weren't in bed. Aside from the care he had to show, he never crossed the line.
The omega was careful to keep his distance. Everyone on the team even thought that he and Li Yihan never interacted in private.
Xia Yuqing was confident that their relationship would go no further than this.
Until, after a race one day, the alpha suddenly asked him, "Aren't we dating?"
Xia Yuqing: ?
Where did you get that idea?
He kept his composure. "I'm just treating your illness. Don't flatter yourself."
But Li Yihan stared into his eyes and sighed. "My pheromones have always been under the sway of your emotions."
"If I'm just imagining things, then why is your heart racing right now?"
Xia Yuqing: ...
If only he'd known sooner that characters and their authors could share this kind of bond. He could have at least tried to play along.
At the M Grand Prix, Li Yihan's car went out of control and crashed into a wall, bursting into flames.
Watching the fire rise from the pit lane, Xia Yuqing lost control of his emotions for the first time.
But the moment he pushed open the hospital room door, he saw the cold look in Li Yihan's eyes.
The alpha looked up at the person he had fallen in love with the very moment he transmigrated into this world, his expression almost a smile.
"I think I figured out that you're the author who created me."
"Xia Yuqing, anything you'd like to explain?"
