A Hundred Percent Match, and Then What?

[Please read the content warnings]

- Two atypical protagonists (a rational, cold Alpha x a gentle, resilient Omega)

- A slow-burn romance (plenty of everyday moments and buildup early on)

- Restrained emotional expression (feelings are analyzed rationally, like data)

- No traditional groveling-after-rejection or coercive romance plot

- Open ending (the journey matters more than the outcome)

"Our marriage has three basic rules:

First, we don't interfere in each other's private lives;

Second, no permanent marking;

Third, we don't fall in love."

Shi Jiangxue thought she had everything under control, until she discovered that:

That Omega could sense the slightest fluctuation in her pheromones, yet scoffed at the idea of a "high match rate."

Shi Xianxiu thought theirs was just a transaction, until she realized that:

That Alpha had collected all her professional publications in her study and calmly analyzed every choice she made in her papers.

In the gaps between the clauses of their contract, they caught glimpses of who they really were:

Not perfect partners defined by data, but ordinary people with scars, secrets, and gentle edges.

This year, they would have to stand up to their families' expectations, the scrutiny of the outside world, and the constraints of the System.

And their most dangerous enemy of all:

The person who was gradually making their heart flutter in the dawn and the twilight.
