Lu Xingli transmigrates into a melodramatic Korean ABO webtoon, starting out eight hundred million in debt.
A gambling-addicted dad, a sick mom, a younger sister in school, and him, falling apart.
"Great. This really is a Korean webtoon."
The one saving grace is that he's a beta, so pheromones don't affect him. He's still straight, and still a virgin.
But he discovers that all the alphas in this world have gone insane.
The wealthy tycoon who sponsors his education demands that Lu Xingli report on his studies at his private villa every week.
One day, Lu Xingli wakes up groggy, his feet chained to the bed with gold links, while the tycoon personally dresses him in custom-made clothes...
Tycoon: "My rut has started. I'm protecting you."
"Your rut? Protecting me?" Lu Xingli sneers at the chains. "Then why are you locking me up with a dog leash?"
The tycoon pulls his collar up to Lu Xingli's nose and uses his pheromones to force a beta to experience the illusion of being marked. "Can't you feel it yet? Then remember my scent with your body."
Lu Xingli: "...?"
His doctor friend insists he undergo a comprehensive physical, personally measuring his skin sensitivity and heart rate. The doctor's stethoscope slips beneath his shirt, and the doctor's fingertips roam over his waist. Lu Xingli nearly melts in his arms.
The doctor injects an aphrodisiac into the cleft of his buttocks, trying to induce him to differentiate into an omega dependent on him. "Next time, I'll satisfy you in a more intimate way."
Lu Xingli: "...?"
The psychology professor at his university seems to care about him, at least. Then Lu Xingli accidentally opens the professor's computer.
Classroom, cafeteria, dormitory... Hundreds of secretly recorded videos, all featuring him.
"Don't get the wrong idea." The professor takes off his glasses, still as gentle and refined as ever. "I'm just documenting the changes before an omega differentiates."
Lu Xingli: "But I'm a beta. I can't differentiate."
The professor calmly plays the secretly recorded videos. On screen, Lu Xingli tosses his wet hair in the shower, looking sexy for an instant. "You know, every time you lie, your Adam's apple twitches three times. It's perfect for..."
Lu Xingli: "...?"
Lu Xingli: Stop trying to turn me! I'm fucking straight!
Luckily, he still has an innocent junior at university, the most normal person in this world.
After training, the athletic junior, drenched in sweat, corners him in the locker room and pins him against a locker. Lowering his head to sniff the glands at the back of Lu Xingli's neck, he asks, "Senior, your glands are red and swollen, and they're burning up. Can I mark you?"
Lu Xingli's heart pounds as he pushes him away.
Oh no! He almost turned me gay.
Later, Lu Xingli differentiates into an omega and runs away in the middle of the night. All the alphas go completely insane.
The tycoon smashes an entire glass wall, clutching the shirt Lu Xingli left behind and starving himself during his rut as if to punish himself.
The doctor injects himself with an overdose of suppressants, tearing at his lab coat in a hallucination as he fantasizes about being intimate with Lu Xingli.
The professor kneels before the deleted surveillance footage and drives a fountain pen into the palm that once secretly filmed him...
#Korean-webtoon-style obsessive love triangle
#The alphas regret not marking Lu Xingli sooner!
#Lu Xingli reappears, pregnant with another man's child!
In a dim alley, the athletic junior who always calls him "Senior" pins the runaway omega in a corner.
A warm palm covers his sobbing mouth. "The baby is mine, right?"
Lu Xingli: "It's quadruplets. One of them is yours. Happy?"
