He Yu suffers from a rare Omega pheromone disorder. Instead of attracting Alphas, his scent causes them to feel an intense sense of physical revulsion. As if life were not difficult enough already, things take a turn for the worse when he finally confesses his feelings and his condition to his online gaming partner of one year. Immediately after the revelation, his friend deletes the game and vanishes without a trace.
Everything changes on the day He Yu finds Chu Yi collapsed at his doorstep. Chu Yi is the undisputed king of Tongyan High School and an Alpha who possesses a terrifying, Super S-rank pheromone. Covered in blood from a recent fight, Chu Yi releases a wave of pheromones so overwhelming that He Yu’s legs give out, and he accidentally greets the unconscious Alpha with a resounding head-butt to the floor.
Despite his trembling hands, He Yu manages to drag Chu Yi inside and offers a small amount of his own pheromone to help. As expected, the scent rouses Chu Yi instantly, but the reaction is so visceral that the Alpha immediately vomits. He Yu bows deeply in a panicked apology, yet he is unaware that Chu Yi actually threw up due to a sudden allergic reaction to alcohol.
When the two discover they share a staggering 98% compatibility rate, Chu Yi decides to use this to his advantage. Facing pressure from his family to enter an arranged marriage, he offers He Yu a tempting proposal: “Pretend to be my boyfriend, and I will pay you twenty thousand yuan a month.”
He Yu finds it impossible to refuse the money, and so the school’s “invisible” student undergoes a sudden transformation into the partner of the legendary school idol. The two spend their days flaunting their affection in every corner of the campus until one afternoon when He Yu catches a glimpse of Chu Yi’s gaming ID. It is identical to the one belonging to the crush who ghosted him.
He Yu is seized by terror and tries to steer him away, but Chu Yi remains nonchalant as he opens He Yu’s own profile. Silence falls between them as the truth finally settles.
