Lin Lizhi is an omega, and an especially unlucky one: his husband died right after they got married, and his heat is just around the corner.
As a pitiful omega whose pheromones are inherently problematic and who can't tough out a heat with suppressants, he now has three options:
Option One: His late husband's younger brother, a top-tier college guy, a younger puppy type. The downside is that he seems to have gotten the wrong idea about Lin Lizhi and keeps accusing him of being loose and unfaithful.
Option Two: His adoptive older brother, refined and ascetic, elegant and noble. The downside is that he seems a little germophobic and doesn't like Lin Lizhi getting too close.
Option Three: His late husband's sworn enemy, handsome and well-built. The downside is his unusual status, and the fact that his approaching Lin Lizhi seems to be part of his revenge against the dead husband.

Following the principle of choosing the nearest option, before his first heat arrived, Lin Lizhi cautiously tugged on his brother-in-law's clothes and asked if he would give him a temporary mark.
His brother-in-law blushed and called him shameless, flatly rejecting the suggestion, then polished off a whole case of alcohol and sneaked into Lin Lizhi's room that night.
The young man had no idea how to be gentle. Lin Lizhi cried from the pain, soaking his pillow with tears. He looked even more miserable than he had on the day his husband died.

With his second heat approaching, Lin Lizhi decisively ditched his brother-in-law and ran home, throwing himself into his adoptive brother's arms and hoping the man would comfort him with pheromones alone.
Looking at Lin Lizhi's still-swollen gland, his adoptive brother agreed, but before Lin Lizhi could celebrate, he calmly added that he was a germaphobe and didn't want Lin Lizhi to lose control and touch him during the process.
That night, Lin Lizhi, desperate for help, offered to let him tie up his hands and feet. He paid for it: no matter how wantonly the other man handled him, breaking their agreement, he couldn't fight back at all. The man swallowed every one of his tears.

Lin Lizhi fled the house as if running for his life. Before his third heat, he tried to make a three-point agreement with his late husband's sworn enemy, so they could each get what they wanted.
Looking at the ignorant little lamb who had willingly leapt into the wolf's jaws, his sworn enemy curled his lips into a smile and gave Lin Lizhi a vivid demonstration of shamelessness.
Though he had promised to treat Lin Lizhi gently during his heat and never go against his wishes, his sworn enemy failed to keep any of those promises. He even gripped the back of Lin Lizhi's neck and demanded to know whether he liked his pheromones or his late husband's better.
*
When his fourth heat arrived, Lin Lizhi no longer dared to choose any of them. But the three men came looking for him after catching the scent of his pheromones.
The three stared at one another, then broke into a fight. Each was convinced he was the one who could make Lin Lizhi feel best, and that only he could help Lin Lizhi through his heat.
Lin Lizhi, curled into a ball: ...Could you have a little self-awareness? QAQ
[Important Content Warnings]
● A sharp-tongued but soft-hearted, tsundere younger puppy-type top / a refined beast in gentleman's clothing, an adoptive older brother with a fake germaphobe streak and a sadistic side / a thick-skinned, scheming, extremely jealous sworn-enemy top X a beautiful, seemingly aloof and refined, but secretly weepy and timid widower bottom
● Mildly bottom-focused, but absolutely and unconditionally on the bottom's side
● All three top leads are clean in body and mind. They've had crushes on the bottom from the beginning to the end; the only difference is whether they deny it or admit it. The only unchaste ones are the cannon fodder who think they can punch above their weight and win a swan.
● The bottom doesn't keep himself chaste, but because his late husband was the love of his life, he remains more or less emotionally partial to him. For now, the three men can only be losers in love.
● Even the dog author doesn't know which man the beauty will end up with. Just go with it. Anyway, all three tops are treated equally, and everyone has a chance.
