Wen Qingkong is a Beta. Thanks to a face more beautiful than an Omega's, he became an overnight sensation in his very first drama.
But after turning down an invitation from a powerful big shot, he was blacklisted for five years.
For those five years, Wen Qingkong couldn't even land background roles. He could only drift from one production crew to another, coaching young actresses and actors on their performances.
The new production is making a huge splash. Rumor has it the male lead, He Pai, is a young royal from the Capital Star who came to the countryside to experience life. If he doesn't make it, he'll have to go home and inherit the family business. Everyone on set is scrambling to curry favor with him.
But Wen Qingkong focuses solely on coaching the Omega actress who plays opposite He Pai. He never interacts with him even once.
He never expected their first encounter to be in bed.
He is drugged and sent to He Pai's bed. After a frenzied night in a haze, the person lying beside him proposes keeping him.
Wen Qingkong refuses, but he has no say in the matter.
Forced to become He Pai's contracted lover, he sees the five years of frustration vanish as He Pai showers him with resources and propels him to the top.
But He Pai's possessiveness grows stronger and stronger, to the point that he starts interfering with Wen Qingkong's work. Wen Qingkong tries to escape several times, but every time He Pai catches him and keeps him under even tighter watch, followed by even more intense...
He never expected He Pai to be a true royal of the Capital Star, with a claim to the throne. If his two older brothers meet with misfortune, he'll inherit the entire Alliance.
Wen Qingkong thinks He Pai is going to keep him locked up for the rest of his life, until one day someone pushes the door open and walks in, with a graceful figure and refined features.
At the time, He Pai has forced Wen Qingkong to wear a skirt. He's only allowed to hide behind the curtains just before the visitor enters. But their conversation goes on for so long that Wen Qingkong can't stay on his feet and falls to the floor.
He tumbles into the visitor's view, his body covered in love bites. He doesn't miss the surprise and anger in those gentle, reserved eyes.
Nor the flash of admiration that vanishes in an instant.
He also hears He Pai address the visitor with utmost respect:
Uncle.

Five years ago, everyone urged Wen Qingkong to apologize to that powerful big shot and stop acting so proud.
Wen Qingkong refused.
Five years later, everyone still urges him to give in to He Pai and stop being so stubborn.
Wen Qingkong still refuses.
He thinks all Alphas are perverts. They have beautiful, gentle Omegas available, yet they insist on taking a cold, hard Beta with no glands.
If that's what his sugar daddies are into, how can he disappoint them?
He drank the drugged liquor of his own accord, and the agreement with He Pai suited him perfectly from beginning to end.
It's just that he never expected He Pai to go mad and beg him to stay and love him when he got tired of him and wanted to leave.
As he deliberately falls out from behind the curtains, Wen Qingkong looks at that man's gentle face and thinks:
This time, I shouldn't mess things up again, right?
