My Marriage in Name Only

An immature work, with a bit of melodrama. The omega uke is in an arranged marriage with a husband eight years younger than him. The marriage was arranged by the former Imperial Marshal and his father, a cabinet minister. After the war, the Empire's population plummeted. The omega, the research institute's greatest genius, lost his halo and had no choice but to follow the Empire's arrangements. He answered the call of the OA pairing policy and married an alpha whose pheromones matched his perfectly, with a compatibility rate of 100%. The alpha was the son of the former Imperial Marshal, hailed as the Empire's future star, blessed with excellent genes and beauty like a celestial being. The omega was eight years older than the alpha. He thought the young man would resist marrying an old bull like him, someone who had spent the first half of his life relying on suppressants. To the omega's surprise, the alpha agreed with remarkable ease... Here's a book from a neighboring author. Please add it to your favorites, thank you! The popular livestream, "What Do You Think of This Man?", has received a new caller. In a hesitant voice, the caller explains that he's in an urgent situation. He's been agonizing over it for ages and has no one to talk to. He has four people he has to choose between, and due to special circumstances, he must pick one. Could the host help him figure it out? No. 1: (1) Age 30, 189 cm, a federal official. (2) They met through matchmaking. He's handsome and aloof, like an old-school government official, but sometimes he suddenly disappears without a word and gives the cold shoulder. (3) Very capable, including in bed. No. 2: (1) Age 30, 188 cm, extremely wealthy from business. (2) Very jealous, a refined scoundrel, and not serious. (3) Seems addicted to sex (note: very adventurous, too much for me), and may have a history of cheating. No. 3: (1) Age 28, 187 cm, a researcher. (2) They met while volunteering. He's gentle, kind, patient, and comes from a good family. (3) Gentle in bed too, but he always seems a little creepy. He was caught installing a tracking app. No. 4: (1) Age 22, 192 cm, a student. (2) His family is influential, and he's an only child, so he'll definitely inherit his family's position. (3) He's young and impulsive, always acting without listening to advice or considering the consequences. The caller is at a loss: "Host, who should I choose?" Host: "..." The advice-seeking video went viral online. Then people dug up the caller's identity: Li Wu, a university lecturer recently caught up in a bigamy case. He hadn't married two people, but four, and every single one was a well-known figure in the Federation. The people labeled No. 1 through No. 4 were: The Federation's new chairman, Xu Yanli, married for four years and five months. The sole head of the family that controls the Federation's economic lifeline, Shang Shixu, married for four years. Jiang Mozhu, a senior research director who received the Human Progress Award, married for two years and four months. And Qi Yinghuai, the director's son and future chief of the Alliance General Staff, newly married for just four months. It started when Shang Shixu sued Qi Yinghuai, accusing him of forcing his husband into marriage. The investigation uncovered something unbelievable: Li Wu was legally married to all four at the same time. After looking into it, they learned that the first three had all lied to Li Wu, telling him they were divorced, while the latter three had abused their privileges to bypass the review process and obtain marriage licenses illegally. The judges: "..." Damn these entitled big shots! None of them could afford to offend, and each privately contacted him, hoping to keep their marriage going. How were they supposed to rule on this? So the court hammered down a decision: all four of Li Wu's marriages were legally valid. Each husband would have one day alone with him every week. A year later, the case would be decided through a dual-choice system: 40% online voting and 60% from the people involved. It was practically a nationwide husband-selection contest. The judge asked Li Wu if he agreed. Li Wu, who couldn't make up his mind: "...I agree." * Same-sex marriage is legal in this society. The setting is a fictional federation where each state's marriage systems are disconnected, creating this situation. The marriage system differs from China's. The uke has no moral failing here; the entitled big shots are the ones at fault, so this story is about punishing the semes who are entitled big shots and resolving the bigamy case. * They don't all get together at once. The relationships are 1v1 in stages. * Pure comedy and banter. * In the end, he will divorce the other three and have one legal husband. There are several arcs and lots of extras. Theme: Work hard to build a harmonious family and move forward together.
