[ABO] After Divorce, He Refused to Be a Scumbag Top

Qin Wen is an Omega born into the influential Qin family, a lineage that values Alpha heirs above all else. When he differentiated into an Omega at sixteen, he lost his father Qin Yaosheng’s affection and was relegated to a secondary status within the family. Despite this, Qin Wen proved himself to be exceptionally capable in business, managing complex projects with a rationality that often surpassed that of Alphas. To secure a strategic alliance, his family arranged a three-year marriage contract with Chi Han, a top-level Alpha from the prestigious Chi family. Chi Han is renowned for his absolute rationality and emotional detachment, possessing pheromones so powerful that he is largely unaffected by Omega scents. The marriage was purely transactional, with both parties agreeing to separate once the three-year term concluded.

As the deadline approached, Qin Wen signed the divorce agreement, hoping to leave the relationship with dignity. However, shortly after the divorce was finalized, Qin Wen discovered he was five weeks pregnant. The pregnancy resulted from a single encounter during a heat period when Chi Han, though intoxicated, had temporarily marked him. Medical professionals warned that carrying a child without a permanent bond and Alpha support was dangerous for an Omega, yet Qin Wen insisted on keeping the baby. He moved into a small apartment and attempted to hide his condition while continuing to work for his father’s company, enduring professional hostility and physical neglect from Qin Yaosheng, who viewed Qin Wen as a useful tool rather than a son.

Chi Han, initially indifferent to the divorce, began experiencing a profound sense of emptiness. The absence of Qin Wen’s mint pheromones in their shared home disrupted his routine, leading to restless nights and uncharacteristic irritability. His friends, Sun Kaining and Xu Yangcheng, observed his behavior and pointed out that Chi Han’s actions suggested regret and hidden affection. Realizing he could not bear the distance, Chi Han began seeking out Qin Wen, initially under the guise of concern for his health. He intervened when Qin Wen was harassed by a business partner, using his dominant pheromones to protect his ex-husband, and gradually started providing the pheromone support Qin Wen desperately needed.

The dynamic between them shifted as Chi Han became more attentive, bringing food, offering comfort, and even staying overnight to soothe Qin Wen’s pregnancy sickness. Despite this renewed closeness, Qin Wen remained cautious, fearing that Chi Han would discover the pregnancy and force an abortion, as the man had previously stated he did not want children. Qin Wen concealed his condition, attributing his physical decline to a persistent cold and overwork. Meanwhile, Chi Han’s protective instincts grew stronger, leading him to confront Qin Yaosheng and demand that the father allow Qin Wen to rest, asserting his role as Qin Wen’s Alpha despite their divorced status.

As the story progresses, Chi Han invites Qin Wen to his grandfather’s birthday celebration, attempting to reintegrate him into his life publicly. At the event, Qin Wen faces scrutiny from Chi Han’s social circle but finds solace in Chi Han’s unwavering presence. The tension escalates when Qin Wen collapses after an encounter with an old acquaintance, Song Kai, prompting Chi Han to carry him away and care for him privately. Chi Han’s internal conflict deepens as he grapples with his growing love for Qin Wen and the realization that he may have been too harsh in their past marriage. Qin Wen, torn between his desire for independence and his biological dependence on Chi Han’s pheromones, struggles to maintain his secret while navigating the complexities of single parenthood in a society that offers little support for Omegas without Alpha protection.
