Don't Pick Up the Child Husband by the Roadside [GB]

💝 A cool, inscrutable heroine × a loyal-dog hero turned discarded and villainous

In the age of interstellar civilization, Ning Buqing is the head of the Treasury, in possession of untold wealth and known as "the dragon perched atop a mountain of gold."

Though everyone is against her, she has made the Treasury and her home so impregnable that not even a fly can get in.

Everyone knows Ning Buqing has countless lovers. Many have tried to exploit this, using every method they can think of: sending people to her, proposing a marriage alliance, breaking into her home, offering deals in exchange for favors... But every single one has failed.

Except Lou Guanxue.

Lou Guanxue was only five when Ning Buqing took him home.

It was a typhoon. The rain fell without pause, and he huddled in a damp, crumpled cardboard box, shivering like a filthy little white cat.

The occasional passerby came and went, but no one stopped for him.

Until a pair of equally filthy canvas shoes stopped in front of him.

Thirteen years is neither a long time nor a short one. He watched people come and go around Ning Buqing, thinking he was the most special one of all, because none of her lovers had ever been an Omega, and yet he was still allowed to stay by her side after presenting at eighteen.

Until his identity was exposed.

On yet another rainy day, pregnant, he was thrown out of the house.

⚠️ Before you read:

1️⃣ The female lead is not a virgin, while the male lead is. This may get extremely melodramatic, including, but not limited to, stand-ins, forced love, running away while pregnant, and the heroine chasing her husband to win him back... Anyway, it definitely has a happy ending.

2️⃣ Female Alpha, male Omega, with a ten-year age gap. The heroine takes in the hero when she is fifteen; they have sex when he is eighteen and she is twenty-eight.
