Lin Shengsheng is a traditional omega, sweet and gentle. Ever since childhood, his greatest wish has been to marry and have children.
But something went wrong with his glands during his secondary differentiation. His pheromones are faint, unable to satisfy an A, and he may even have trouble having children.
His arranged-marriage partner immediately broke off their engagement. Lin Shengsheng, who had always been doted on for being obedient, became a hot potato that his father quickly tossed to Fu Boting, who had returned from abroad after receiving medical treatment and was looking for someone to marry.
Fu Boting is an enigma. Enigmas generally prefer strong Alphas and S-rank omegas, who can better withstand their pheromones and conceive.
With red, swollen eyes, Lin Shengsheng told Fu Boting the truth, expecting to be turned away again.
But the enigma said, "I know."
Then he handed him a black card to cover his living expenses.
Lin Shengsheng understood, if only vaguely, that this was also a transaction.
Fu Boting needed a wife.
A traditional, manageable, obedient omega wife who could serve as a shield.
The Fu family is a prestigious clan with a history spanning a century, and its fortunes have never waned.
News spread that Fu Boting had married an omega with defective glands.
In private, rumors flew far and wide:
They said Fu Boting had successfully seized power, but the main branch was full of uncles and relatives, and the family was a tangled mess. As an enigma, Fu Boting suffered from pheromone-recognition disorder, making it hard for him to get close to others. His rut was extremely unstable, making him unfit to shoulder responsibility, so he urgently needed to marry and silence the gossip.
Everyone waited to see what would happen when two sick people got married.
But as they waited, they never saw Lin Shengsheng grow despondent, nor Fu Boting lose control because of his illness.
All they got was a tabloid photo: the belly of an omega who was supposedly unlikely to conceive was slightly rounded, while the dignified, mature enigma stood beside him, protecting his belly.
Everyone knew that this omega had trouble conceiving. There was only one explanation for his condition:
An enigma's pheromones were more powerful than an Alpha's, and had forcibly made him conceive.
The man's body completely obscured the omega's face. All anyone could see was Fu Boting looking toward the camera with dark eyes full of warning.
Fu Boting, whose veins seemed to carry nothing but money and power, had actually fallen in love.
* The setting serves the story.
* Both leads have only been with each other.
