Marinette's mother has decided to enter a competition - but this competition isn't in Paris, it's in China. Marinette has never been out of her city of birth, and Sabine decides to take her along. This is possibly a once-in-a-lifetime adventure for Marinette, and she's excited for it. At the same time, Adrien Agreste also has to go to China, for two reasons - to improve his Chinese, and to model different outfits. Little do they know that fate has bound them together ... Maybe the competition isn't the most important thing. Maybe it's what they learn from it, and how they progress afterwards. ~~#226 in Fanfiction on October 22th, 2016~~ For the story's purpose, Adrien's father is Hawkmoth. Disclaimer: I do not own the characters in this story, only the plot. It is just a fanfiction. Cover by @_Dameloup_ (again) seriously, she has the most amazing ML covers. [Update: I wrote this when I was a smol child so yes criticism is welcomed (like actually. Feel free to criticise, I really won't attack anyone) but just keep in mind that I've changed a lot since I wrote this - thanks]

Shen Wenlang, a proud and capable alpha born into a wealthy family, is suddenly cast out of his home. His family wants him to learn independence and earn his own living-but the final push comes when he refuses an arranged betrothal to an enigma whose name he barely remembers. With his pride intact but his resources gone, Wenlang is forced to survive on his own. To avoid attention and secure work more easily, he disguises himself as an omega and takes a job as a maid at the prestigious Gao family mansion. Life there is humbling and far from what he's used to, but Wenlang endures it for the sake of money. Everything changes when he meets the young master of the house, Gao Tu-an enigma who is strikingly handsome and exactly Wenlang's type. Despite his growing attraction, Wenlang keeps his distance, reminding himself that he needs stability more than romance. However, one unexpected night, Wenlang discovers Gao Tu struggling through a rut. Seeing both an opportunity and a way to help, Wenlang makes a bold offer: he will stay with Gao Tu through it-on the condition that he is paid generously. What begins as a transactional arrangement slowly softens into something warmer. In the quiet moments that follow, stolen glances turn into genuine care, and the line between pretense and real feelings begins to blur. At its heart, the story is a light, fluffy tale of hidden identities, reluctant closeness, and two people who find comfort in each other when they least expect it.

Gao Shen, a young alpha, grows up in a powerful yet emotionally fractured family. His father, Gao Tu-an enigma known for his quiet dominance and unwavering devotion-loved deeply but struggled to express it. His mother, Shen Wenlang, also an alpha, was once gentle and affectionate... until something changed. By the time Gao Shen turns 17, their marriage collapses. Shen Wenlang becomes unfaithful, and the family that once felt warm slowly falls apart. Gao Shen is left with one painful truth: *His parents loved each other once... so where did it go wrong?* Then, fate gives him a second chance. He wakes up as his 5-year-old self-back to the time when his parents are still together, still soft with each other, still capable of being saved. This time, Gao Shen refuses to let history repeat itself.
