What makes a marriage last? Is it love, a sense of duty, or simply keeping the vows you once made?
Tang Qianyu thought she had her future all planned out-until her long-time girlfriend, Qin Meiying, left her without warning. Heartbroken and looking for an escape, Tang Qianyu found herself drinking the night away at a bar. The next morning, she woke up beside a stranger, Xin Yuexia. Things only got messier when Xin Yuexia showed up later claiming to be pregnant with Tang Qianyu's child. Out of guilt and a sense of responsibility, Tang Qianyu married Xin Yuexia.
For seven years, they stayed together-looking like the perfect, loving couple to everyone else. But deep inside Tang Qianyu's mind things were different. It was all just an act, she's just performing her duty as a wife. It was never meant to be a real marriage... or was it?
When Qin Meiying reappears, Tang Qianyu is forced to confront the truth. Will this "sham" marriage fall apart? Or has it become something deeper than Tang Qianyu ever realized? And what about these unexpected feelings for Xin Yuexia-are they just guilt, or could they be love after all?

"Never hide things from hard-core thinkers. They get more aggravated, more provoked by confusion than the most painful truths."
Tough beta cop, Wang Yibo, wakes up one morning with a hangover and some very vague memories of the previous night. One of those memories is something that he believes can't be possible.
He sees a flash in his mind of his best friend, Xiao Zhan, who also happens to be his partner at work. Someone he always had a crush on. The thing that Yibo can't believe is what Zhan is doing in that memory. And why Zhan doesn't have any clothes on.
It isn't until Zhan brings up the event that Yibo realizes what is happening to him. For the last fourty years, young beta men have been turning into omegas. Some as late as their twenties.
Yibo is filled with shame when he realizes that's what's happening. He went into heat. He threw himself at his partner. He's now an omega.
And he's carrying Zhan's baby.
Yibo's whole world comes unraveled as he struggles with the changes his body is going through, as well as the changes in his perception of the world around him. He's no longer the tough beta cop he thought he was, but Yibo starts to realize what true strength really is.
