This Beta Is Too Frail to Look After Themself

[If you're interested, please add the author to your favorites. Thanks for your support!]

Lin An is beautiful, delicate, quiet, and obedient. He should have been the perfect candidate for a political marriage, but unfortunately, he's a beta. All he can do is watch helplessly as the person he secretly loves gets engaged to his omega younger brother.

In this world, alphas and omegas are a natural match. Betas are always the second choice.

So Lin An, a beta, unexpectedly becomes Huo Cheng's emergency solution during his rut.

After one night together, Lin An assumes their relationship will end there. But to his surprise, he gets pregnant. Weren't betas supposed to have trouble conceiving?

Lin An thus takes his younger brother's place and fulfills the marriage agreement with the Huo family.

Huo Cheng's smile doesn't reach his eyes. "Betas aren't affected by pheromones, so why didn't you refuse me that night?"

Lin An answers honestly, "I'm too weak to push you away."

Huo Cheng looks at Lin An's slender wrist and falls silent.

At the wedding, they exchange rings amid everyone's blessings.

Huo Cheng lowers his head to kiss his groom, taking the chance to make his position clear. "Apart from being married to you, I won't give you anything. Know your place."

Lin An touches his pregnant belly. "But, but the baby needs its father's pheromones."

Huo Cheng gives a cold snort. "That's all."

While Lin An is carrying the baby, Huo Cheng deliberately keeps his distance and points to a chair across the room. "Sit over there. I don't like anyone getting too close while I'm working."

Lin An twists his fingers helplessly. "I'm a beta. If I'm too far away, I can't get enough pheromones."

Huo Cheng's heart skips a beat. He thinks to himself that this beta is quite the schemer.

Just as Lin An begins to think Huo Cheng's feelings toward him have changed, the man throws a stack of documents in front of him. A chill fills his eyes, colder than ever. "First you seduced me, then you faked a pregnancy. Are you enjoying making a fool of me?"

Only then does Lin An realize that Huo Cheng never believed him. His hope of warming that heart fades away.

Exhausted, Lin An takes out an agreement. "Let's get divorced."

Huo Cheng finally loses his composure in front of others and frantically tears up the agreement. "I won't agree!"
