Lin Xi, a live streaming host, has harbored a secret crush on an alpha for many years. This alpha is tall, handsome, and charming, the very image of a perfect unattainable love. On the day of his graduation, Lin Xi gathers the courage to confess his feelings, only to be coldly rejected by the alpha.
To his shock, Lin Xi discovers that his unattainable love is two-faced and deceitful. All the previous politeness and kindness were nothing but an act! His years of unrequited love feel like a waste, and he is left feeling bitter and disillusioned. To make matters worse, the emotional turmoil triggers a condition known as pheromone disorder syndrome in Lin Xi. The only way he can find relief is by being exposed to the pheromones of an alpha with a high compatibility match, making it nearly impossible for him to find a normal job.
Just when Lin Xi thinks his only option is to quickly find a partner through matchmaking and enter into a loveless marriage, the very alpha who rejected him—the one he now sees as an annoying nuisance—approaches him with a proposal: “Marry me and sign with our company.”
Lin Xi knows he should refuse, but the temptation of the alpha’s refreshing minty scent is too strong, and he finds himself nodding in agreement. “We’ll divorce after five years, and don’t you dare cling to me!” Lin Xi asserts. Pei Jiashu merely scoffs, “Naturally.”
Background on Pei Jiashu:
Pei Jiashu’s father passed away when he was young, and his upbringing was marked by his father’s strict and demanding nature. As a result, Pei Jiashu has become adept at saying whatever people want to hear, adapting his words to suit his audience. He doesn’t believe in the concept of compatibility between alphas and omegas; he thinks that even those with a 100% match aren’t guaranteed to fall in love.
However, everything changes when he finds himself reacting to the pheromones of a particular omega. Pei Jiashu’s initial instinct is to flee. The pressure of familial expectations and the looming threat of arranged marriages within prestigious families complicate his feelings.
