Ying Qiuman transmigrated into an ABO novel as a cannon-fodder beta, the brooding, obsessive follower of the alpha protagonist.
To help the alpha secure projects, he willingly entered into a marriage with a wealthy older man and repeatedly stole business secrets. Thinking of himself as a hero, he was instead despised by the protagonist and sent to prison by his own husband.
Exhausted and unrewarded, Ying Qiuman decided to run away.
Who wants to marry an old…? This is Daddy. The man is fair-skinned and handsome, broad-shouldered and slim-waisted, with firm, full muscles… Ying Qiuman recalled the doll that had soothed his “skin hunger” and felt a sudden aversion.
After signing the agreement, the two kept a cold distance,until during one of the alpha’s heat cycles, Ying Qiuman finally got relief from his condition, though his shriveled glands were bitten until red and bleeding.
Dizzy and disoriented, he heard the alpha whispering in his ear,but instead of a warning, it was a caution to “mind the distance”?
Fine. The alpha’s monthly heat was enough to help him relieve his skin hunger.

Xu Shuyuan was over thirty, and as a grown man, his family arranged a beta to marry him.
Before meeting, he dreamt that his world was a tragic novel. His intended bride was the reckless cannon-fodder beta who sabotaged the protagonist’s romance and, worse, would betray him by stealing company secrets for her stepbrother,the alpha protagonist.
He was cautious, signing a prenuptial agreement to ensure a clean divorce if boundaries were crossed.
But the first one to cross the line turned out to be him. His alpha pheromones treated the beta as an omega; during heat, he nibbled and bit, unable to “mark” properly.
Unlike the dream, the beta otherwise acted detached, staying at school and not interfering,like a bystander outside the story.
Yet during his heat, the beta was not only proactive but, after satisfying his appetite, obediently cuddled in his arms to sleep.
Since the book never described their plot, Xu Shuyuan assumed this was the beta’s way of gaining his trust. He pushed the beta away, coldly saying: “Don’t hold me while sleeping.”
The beta was very sensible, and their relationship remained cold and distant in daily life, but catastrophic during heat.
When Xu Shuyuan doubted his own paranoia, he eventually discovered the beta’s secret: The doll he had given was quietly moved somewhere he didn’t know, and the murmurs in his sleep were not calling him at all.
