After Faking My Death, the Top Alpha Went Mad for Me

[Slow updates, proceed with caution 🕳️]

Lan Jin (A) x Ji Ming (O)

From the gong's perspective:

Lan Jin has a little bird, a childhood friend, and a beautiful omega lover.

Ji Ming is beautiful, good-natured, and loves him with all his heart... In short, everything about Lan Jin's Ji Ming is wonderful.

Before he turned eighteen, Lan Jin wanted Ji Ming. He wanted to keep watching him forever. He wanted Ji Ming to stay by his side forever and ever, never leaving his sight! So... tracking and listening in are perfectly normal, right?

After he turned eighteen, Lan Jin wanted Ji Ming.

Not just to look at him... He wanted to hold him, kiss him, and have everything that belonged to Ji Ming!

They would be together forever.

Ji Ming had already become part of Lan Jin's life, part of his very bones and blood.

How could they ever part...

Even if they got engaged for political reasons, it wouldn't affect them.

Right?

Wrong!

How did my wife run away?!

Why is there a fated mate beside my wife?!!!

Wifey, don't you want your dog anymore? Whimper, woof?

From the shou's perspective:

Ji Ming really liked Lan Jin. He liked Lan Jin, and the power, status, and wealth he represented. Lan Jin was the best stepping-stone he'd ever found in his life.

Lan Jin had once pulled him out of the mud, and they had embraced through the passing years... But that alone, all of that, still wasn't enough!

He wanted more. He didn't mind staking himself on it.

But he had so little. Even if he staked everything, it still wouldn't be enough. Lan Jin, oh, Lan Jin... was a bird he could never keep in a cage.

Maybe being a well-fed, carefree lover would be enough?

But... he was so unwilling to settle.

Desire and jealousy churned in his chest into the most potent poison, burning him day and night. If he couldn't have something completely, then he had no choice but to throw it away.

In short, the pampered, gilded songbird... the drab little sparrow... Ji Ming ran away!

More precisely, he faked his death.

On the first day after Ji Ming faked his death, Lan Jin caused a scene at the mourning hall.

On the second day after Ji Ming faked his death, Lan Jin broke off their engagement and tried to die for love.

Three years after Ji Ming faked his death, Lan Jin saw him on television.

Beside the gentle, radiant omega stood a handsome man who complemented him perfectly. A reporter holding a microphone praised them as fated mates, a match made in heaven.

Lan Jin, who was preparing to try dying for love again, felt the sky collapse.

My wife is alive.

My wife has another dog beside him.

Then what am I?

Am I the other man?

(The kettle screams) (The kettle runs around) (The kettle yells until it faints)

Who says the one being kept has to be a pretty little bird? Sometimes the owner is the one being kept.

P.S.

1. Both leads are sexually inexperienced, and each is the other's first love.

2. The two main characters are flawed, not idealized.

(An abnormal couple having a normal relationship: two negatives make a positive, not really.)

3. Written with my kinks unleashed, heh heh heh.
