Also known as: I Heard You're a Hopeless Romantic
Ning Mo felt like nothing particularly remarkable would ever happen in his life.
Go to school, graduate, get a job.
Then marry his childhood friend, an Alpha, and have children.
All because he was an utterly unremarkable Omega, with pheromones so faint they barely smelled of lily.
But after starting college, an Alpha came up to him and kept telling him:
"You're wonderful."
"There's no one else quite as wonderful as you."
"Our meeting wasn't fate. I planned it all myself, scheming and racking my brains to make it happen."
Those words applied to the first time Zhou Weiheng saw Ning Mo on his roommate's phone. After that, he began plotting.
The young man was a little insecure and kept to himself.
But whenever he looked up, his eyes always shone with an unyielding light.
As Zhou Weiheng gradually got to know him, his own outlook underwent a tremendous change.
Watching Ning Mo get treated like trash by his boyfriend and relentlessly manipulated, he couldn't sit still.
Why should a beautiful flower be stuck in a pile of cow dung?
Why should the bright moon hang high in the sky, its light shining everywhere but on me?
The flower and the moon should both belong to him.
And so should the boy who had left behind only a hurried silhouette in the high school library.
Little scene:
Sitting on the grass by the sports field, Ning Mo watched Zhou Weiheng shine in the sunlight and said with a grin, "You're so outstanding. No wonder so many people like you."
Zhou Weiheng crouched down and looked at Ning Mo earnestly, then replied with conviction:
"You are too."
An insecure, reserved beauty who's unaware of his own charm, the uke × a domineering, obsessive seme who's a hopeless romantic and knows how to guide a relationship
"Do you know why the words self-respect and self-confidence both start with 'self'?"
"Because you have to love yourself before you can love someone else."
Reader's guide:
1. The uke has a boyfriend when he meets the seme. They've never even held hands.
2. This story mainly focuses on the uke's growth in college. The seme is his upperclassman and guides and supports him from the sidelines.
