On this day, Lin Xiangqi suddenly awakened self-awareness — and realized he was living in a melodramatic ABO novel.

He was the tragically short-lived white moonlight of a scummy Alpha, and the childhood friend who died young of a brooding villain.

Lin Xiangqi: Do I have to die young? (devastated.jpg)

In the original plot, Lin Xiangqi fell in love with the scummy Alpha at first sight. But the Alpha despised him for being a Beta and brushed him off.

It wasn’t until Lin Xiangqi died of illness that the s*um Alpha suddenly had his big revelation:

Ah! Turns out I’ve loved him all along!

Unable to move on from his now-deceased white moonlight, the Alpha went and found a stand-in… cue a dog-blood drama of scummy Alpha and masochistic Omega.

Now, in the prime of his youthful 18 years and very much not wanting to die — or be replaced — Lin Xiangqi blacked out:

This tragic white moonlight? Whoever wants to play it can have it. (peaceful.jpg)

After finishing the whole novel, Lin Xiangqi discovered one very important fact —

He died because of a strange illness.

He looked like a Beta, but he was actually an Omega.

The reason he never presented was due to underdeveloped glands — causing a buildup of pheromones that required high-quality Alpha pheromones to soothe and trigger maturity.

Lin Xiangqi: Heavens above, help me discern truth from lies!

So, he never actually fell for the scummy Alpha at first sight!

It was just that, during their first meeting, that Alpha bastard with no Alpha decency released his pheromones — and Lin Xiangqi, with his long-suffering glands, became addicted to the soothing effect of those high-grade pheromones.

He didn’t know he was sick.

He just thought he was in love.

…But really, he just wanted to get treatment.

Lu Cong and Lin Xiangqi grew up together. He thought he knew Lin Xiangqi inside and out.

But lately, something felt off.

Ever since Lin Xiangqi “fell in love at first sight” with that scummy Alpha, he had become a completely different person. The two of them had even been giving each other the cold shoulder for a while.

Then, out of nowhere, Lin Xiangqi — who had never once lowered his pride — suddenly came to Lu Cong.

Not only did he swear to stop chasing after the Alpha, he even curled up pitifully into Lu Cong’s arms, hooked his arms around Lu Cong’s neck, and pressed a soft, warm palm to the sensitive, dormant gland at the back of Lu Cong’s neck. Almost like coaxing, he pleaded:

“Just give me a little of your pheromones, okay?”

Lu Cong was stunned. Lin Xiangqi had never even dated before — where had he learned such seductive tricks? It was intense. Almost scary.

Clearly, Lin Xiangqi had no idea what asking for an Alpha’s pheromones really meant.

Lu Cong thought he understood:

He must’ve been rejected again. So now he’s using me to practice seduction tactics before trying them again on that scummy Alpha.

His anger surged. The words of refusal were already on the tip of his tongue—

But then, Lin Xiangqi tilted his head and gently nuzzled into Lu Cong’s neck.

All the words caught in Lu Cong’s throat.

After a long moment, he quietly answered:

“Okay.”
