The Beta Still Hasn't Fallen in Love Today

Blurb

*

The illegitimate, low-ranking beta son of the Shang family, hidden from public view, has entered into a marriage alliance with the Xia family's top alpha heir, who is cherished by everyone.

The gulf between them is immense. Naturally, no one has any faith in this rushed and absurd marriage.

No one, that is, except the couple themselves.

Shang Jiao is a low-ranking beta. He can't sense pheromones, and will never be able to mark or be marked.

If other people's glands are plump dates, his are no more than date pits.

Bland and unremarkable.

But one day, someone will murmur his name day and night, savoring his every taste and cherishing him like a precious jewel.

Once they've had a taste, they can't get enough. They worship him like a god.

1. Setting: In this ABO world, secondary genders are determined at birth. Alphas and omegas mature after the age of twelve: omegas go into heat, while alphas experience rut.

2. The pursuer has a child, biologically the pursued's. The pursuer falls in love at first sight without realizing it, and quickly starts winning himself over.

3. As the story unfolds, shocking secrets will come to light. Neither the pursuer nor the pursued is a bad person, and neither is at fault. The pursued will become pregnant later on, but the story won't cover childbirth or raising a child.

Theme: Empathy is what makes love last
