The day Ming Lian presented as a Beta, he let out a long sigh of relief.
With a stunning face that captivated people of every gender, he entered A University as a freshman.
Ming Lian didn't have many demands for his new roommate. He just hoped they would also be a Beta who wouldn't turn their dorm into a chaotic mess.
Instead, the person standing before him was Xu Jianglin, the quiet, unassuming top student from the class next door in high school.
Xu Jianglin was tall and straight-backed, his expression as cool and distant as ever.
Word was, he'd presented as an Alpha. No surprise there.
Though he hadn't gotten the Beta roommate he'd hoped for, Ming Lian figured Xu Jianglin was at least a respectable guy who wouldn't fool around, unlike all those other Alphas and Omegas who kept going into heat.
Still, just to be safe, on their first day in the dorm, Ming Lian laid down a strict rule with a stern face: "You're absolutely not allowed to bring an Omega back to spend the night."
Xu Jianglin raised his eyes and glanced at him coolly. "Fine."
Just as Ming Lian thought they'd reached an understanding, Xu Jianglin calmly added, "But in return, you have to help me through my rut."
Ming Lian: "How can I help you? I'm a Beta."
Xu Jianglin: "Put the synthetic pheromones on your hand and help me with it."
Ming Lian: ???
Ming Lian was stunned. How could someone with such a chaste, untouchable look say something so shameless?
Ming Lian immediately tried to transfer dorms. When his application was rejected, he weighed his options and gritted his teeth, agreeing to Xu Jianglin's request for the sake of four peaceful years ahead.

To be fair, Xu Jianglin was the perfect roommate. Disciplined, neat, even-tempered, and easy on the eyes.
He would get up early to queue for the pastries Ming Lian wanted, patiently work on projects with him, quietly lend an ear when Ming Lian needed to talk, and chase away his bothersome admirers like flies.
But Xu Jianglin's ruts turned out to be much more troublesome than Ming Lian had expected. They were so intense, and each one was harder to handle than the last. Eventually, using only his hand was no longer enough to calm Xu Jianglin down.
The crisp, cool scent of mint filled the whole building, drawing swarms of little Omegas to their dorm every day.
At his wit's end, Ming Lian demanded Xu Jianglin use suppressants and wear a suppression collar. Xu Jianglin refused both.
Instead, Xu Jianglin came up with his own solution.
He locked the door, brought out one toy after another, and dressed Ming Lian in one outfit after another.

Three months later, Ming Lian angrily filled out another dorm transfer application. Halfway through, the cool scent of mint, which he shouldn't have been able to smell, suddenly filled the air.
At the same time, his body began acting strangely: an inexplicable heat, weakness, and an irresistible craving for that hint of mint...
He staggered to his feet and threw himself into Xu Jianglin's arms as he came through the door, holding him close and sniffing him fervently. He smelled so good! So, so good!
Ming Lian's mind started to grow hazy. He felt like he liked Xu Jianglin even more than usual. He pushed Xu Jianglin onto the bed, pinned his wrists above his head, and asked, "I'm not a Beta? Why am I affected by your pheromones?"
Xu Jianglin didn't explain. He turned them over and kissed him.
After a night of passion, Ming Lian struggled out of bed, kissed the still-sleeping Xu Jianglin with a grudge, then got up and went back to filling out his dorm transfer application.
The cool mint scent began to fill the air again...
A scheming Enigma, cold on the outside and shameless within, X a beautiful Beta who gets thoroughly ravished. 1v1, both pure and devoted. It's all just a bit of fun between a couple.
