Wake Up, I’m A Beta

Synopsis: 

Mu Suiyun is an utterly ordinary beta.

Yet because of her family background, she has an S-rank omega fiancée.

But a beta cannot satisfy an omega’s pheromone needs—much less those of an S-rank omega.

To her fiancée, Ning Zhifan, this engagement is nothing short of a humiliation.

Out of a sense of guilt and a desire to make it up to her, Mu Suiyun treats Ning Zhifan exceptionally well. Even after repeatedly realizing that the other woman is using her, she never complains.

Then, just as their wedding draws near, the Mu family falls from power.

“I’m sorry. I can’t fall in love with a beta.” Ning Zhifan’s voice is indifferent. “You can’t mark me. I can’t accept spending my life with a partner like that.”

And with that, their relationship comes to an end.

After the engagement is broken off.

Mu Suiyun tries meeting other people.

She never expects that, on her way to her very first date, she will be dragged into a car and taken straight to a hotel.

The hotel room is saturated with the pheromones of an S-rank omega in heat, so overwhelmingly intense that no alpha or omega could possibly get close.

Her normally aloof ex-fiancée rubs her burning cheek against Mu Suiyun, then bends down and exposes her slender neck. Her voice is hoarse and full of longing, trembling with tears.

“Suiyun… Suiyun, mark me… please…”

Mu Suiyun remains perfectly calm.

“Wake up. I’m a beta. I can’t mark you.”

In fact, Ning Zhifan’s pheromones do not attract her in the slightest.

Even when Ning Zhifan desperately floods Mu Suiyun’s entire body with her pheromones, Mu Suiyun notices nothing.

She remains completely unmoved.

Ning Zhifan hates the engagement that was forced upon her.

An omega’s physiological needs also make it impossible for her to accept a beta as her lifelong partner.

So the moment an opportunity presents itself, Ning Zhifan breaks off the engagement.

What she never expects is that after Mu Suiyun leaves, she will enter a susceptibility period.

Only belatedly does Ning Zhifan realize that even though her body craves a mark and yearns for pheromones—

she has fallen in love with Mu Suiyun.

She loves her so deeply that, compared to her desire to be marked and her craving for pheromones, what she wants even more is Mu Suiyun herself.

But Mu Suiyun does not love her.

Even though Mu Suiyun is willing to accompany her through treatment and continues treating her with the same gentleness as before, Mu Suiyun still prefers betas.

Then Ning Zhifan overhears Mu Suiyun talking to a friend.

“Whether they’re alphas or omegas, they’re all such a hassle. I hope Miss Ning gets better soon. I want to leave.”

…No!

[You are the person I would defy even my instincts to love.]

Notes:

1. A nontraditional ABO story.
2. A nontraditional “chasing love after regret” story.
3. Mu Suiyun is a beta from beginning to end. She will not undergo secondary differentiation.
4. Both are experiencing their first love.
