Blurb:
Bai Yan is the illegitimate daughter of the Bai family. Her pheromone compatibility with Yun Shixue, the eldest daughter of the Yun family, is a remarkable 95 percent. From the moment Bai Yan was born, her life had only one plan: grow up, turn eighteen, and marry Yun Shixue.
Yun Shixue is a top-tier Omega, beautiful as a statue of Guanyin, cool and ethereal, and raised in a scholarly family. If not for their highly compatible pheromones, Bai Yan would never even have seen her from behind in her entire life.
The first time they met was in Yun Shixue’s music room. Bai Yan nervously clutched the hem of her clothes and stood to one side, while the beauty merely glanced at her and continued playing the piano. Her voice was cool and distant. “Do what you’re supposed to do, and don’t entertain any unrealistic fantasies.”
So after they married, Bai Yan worked diligently and made sure never to cause Yun Shixue the slightest trouble.
When she accompanied Yun Shixue to a banquet and was treated like a servant, Bai Yan didn’t dare object. She quietly went about her business, occasionally glancing at Yun Shixue’s indifferent expression and realizing that she had no intention of speaking up for her.
There were many more incidents like that. Yun Shixue didn’t care about her and liked to torment her, treating her like a dog she had to keep around the house. Whenever she was in a bad mood, she would kick it a couple of times.
Only when Yun Shixue was in heat, when she went limp in Bai Yan’s arms, tears in her eyes, the corners of her eyes flushed red as she pleaded in a small voice… only then did Bai Yan feel that perhaps Yun Shixue had at least a little affection for her.
Bai Yan liked Yun Shixue like this.
It wasn’t until a dinner celebrating the return of one of Yun Shixue’s high school classmates that Bai Yan realized she could smile even when they weren’t in bed, with a gentle, warm look in her eyes.
Bai Yan said nothing as she ate, just a little ornament at the table. Then the classmate pointedly asked about her. “Hey, you haven’t introduced us. Who’s this?”
Bai Yan looked at Yun Shixue. The usually aloof beauty had been drinking and, for once, made a joke. “Just my living pheromone suppressant. What, do you want one too?”
The classmate waved her hands repeatedly. Teasing and laughter erupted around the table, and Bai Yan finally gave up hope.
She ran away without taking any luggage, bringing only her wedding ring. From then on, she vanished without a trace.
.
Yun Shixue used to hate Bai Yan’s family more than anything.
Calculating, vulgar parents and a lowborn illegitimate daughter, fawning like dogs in an attempt to force their way into her family. Yun Shixue held such people in contempt.
The only things Bai Yan had going for her were that she was good in bed and that high pheromone compatibility really did feel that good.
The more compatible they were, the more Yun Shixue hated Bai Yan.
She deliberately ignored Bai Yan, picked on her, made her uncomfortable and jealous…
Only after Bai Yan had really left, when Yun Shixue sat alone in a dark room at four in the morning, did she suddenly realize:
She couldn’t live without Bai Yan anymore.
.
One rainy day the following year, Bai Yan was coming home with groceries when she found a soaked young lady at her door.
Disheveled and utterly miserable, she looked like a stray cat.
The young lady who had once stood above everyone else rushed over, eyes red and voice trembling.
“…How could you not want me anymore?”
“You can’t leave me. Please.”

Coming soon: "A Romance Contract with My Dark, Obsessive Auntie Omega"
At the end of the year, a tender, bittersweet romance film starring two women burst onto the scene, sweeping major awards at home and abroad and becoming the hottest art-house film of the moment.
Just six months earlier, its leading actress, Yuan Mingshu, had been a scandal-plagued idol on the verge of being blacklisted. The entire internet had nothing good to say about her. Only her astonishingly beautiful face had anything to do with the word “art.”
How she pulled off such a comeback became the internet’s hottest topic overnight.
The most widely shared post offered a simple observation from a passerby: [Maybe the answer is right there in the question]
[Has nobody noticed that Xiao Wenzhen has returned to the industry for the first time in ten years?]
.
Xiao Wenzhen was an undisputed genius of an actress, a national treasure of the entertainment industry.
She had a rare pair of tender eyes that could make even a dog feel cherished. She did as she pleased and was impossible to read. After winning every major award, she announced her retirement.
When she reappeared, it was as the other lead actress in the film, attending the awards ceremony.
The camera panned across the audience. Xiao Wenzhen, who had been expressionless the entire time, began applauding with a smile in her eyes when Yuan Mingshu stepped onto the stage. Her gaze was full of tender affection.
Only then did everyone understand:
Yuan Mingshu had made her comeback,
and Xiao Wenzhen had returned to acting,
because Yuan Mingshu had long ago won the favor of the industry big shot, Xiao Wenzhen.
.
Yuan Mingshu wasn’t completely unfamiliar with Xiao Wenzhen. If anything, she hated her.
Xiao Wenzhen was her ex. Just as Yuan Mingshu had imagined, she was mature, accepting, richly scented, and utterly bewitching.
Yuan Mingshu loved how capable Xiao Wenzhen was, but sometimes hated it just as much.
When Yuan Mingshu asked to break up, Xiao Wenzhen simply said “Fine” in a breezy tone, then turned and left, never to appear again.
Until recently, when Yuan Mingshu’s career hit rock bottom and she faced the risk of being shelved.
That was when Xiao Wenzhen came to her with a relationship contract.
She was still as composed as ever, affection filling her eyes. “Think carefully about what you stand to gain by being with me.”
.
After getting back together with Xiao Wenzhen, Yuan Mingshu knelt on the bed and bit the back of her neck.
As their pheromones mingled, even Xiao Wenzhen grew soft. Tears gathered in her eyes, and her breath grew especially warm.
Yuan Mingshu loved Xiao Wenzhen like this. Those rare moments of vulnerability filled her with satisfaction.
Until afterward, when Yuan Mingshu saw the message previews on Xiao Wenzhen’s phone in the bathroom.
[The original rights to the two-women-lead film have been purchased. Production is in preparation.]
[As requested, we’ve spread the news that Yuan is being blacklisted.]
Yuan Mingshu’s fingers trembled, but someone suddenly wrapped their arms around her from behind.
Like a snake, Xiao Wenzhen kissed the base of Yuan Mingshu’s ear and said gently:
“You’re being naughty.”
“I told you, you can only be with me.”
