In an entertainment industry built on prejudice, being an Omega is a career-ending sentence. They are labeled "unstable," "hysterical," and "too distracting" for serious roles.
Xiao Zhan knows this better than anyone.
For a decade, he has survived by becoming the perfect lie: a stoic, reliable Beta. He lives his life on a careful regimen of heavy suppressants and scent-blocking patches, trading his biology for his dream. He has it all under control-until he lands the lead role opposite Wang Yibo.
Wang Yibo is the industry's golden boy: a dominant Alpha with an icy demeanor, a hypersensitive nose, and a reputation for being untouchable. From their first meeting, Yibo finds Zhan's "scent" wrong-sterile and artificial-but he can't deny the magnetic pull between them.
During a grueling night shoot, Zhan's worst nightmare comes true. His suppressants fail. Trapped in his trailer, spiraling into a ferocious heat, Zhan is terrified of being outed and ruined. The first person to catch the scent isn't the press, but Yibo.
Instead of exposing him or taking advantage, Yibo locks the door, purrs to calm Zhan's terror, and helps him through the initial wave with a gentle touch that contradicts his cold reputation.
Now, a secret binds them. Yibo knows the truth, but instead of repulsion, he becomes obsessed. He begins a silent courtship, scenting Zhan's clothes, leaving gifts, and invading his personal space with protective intensity.
Zhan has spent his life hiding who he is. But how long can he hide from an Alpha who has decided that the "Beta" he's falling for is actually his perfect biological match?
