Wen Song is a twenty-two-year-old Omega and a senior computer science student at Ficheng University who grew up in an orphanage after losing his parents in a car accident at age three. Orphaned and abandoned by relatives, he survived on the kindness of a stranger, Zhou Yanzi, the CEO of Yun Tu Group, who has sponsored his education and living expenses since Wen Song was seven years old. Despite this long-term financial support, their relationship remained distant and formal, limited to occasional Friday phone calls. Wen Song harbored a deep, unspoken affection for Zhou Yanzi, viewing him as a distant figure of admiration and safety. This dynamic shifted abruptly when Wen Song was diagnosed with a rare pheromone disorder that renders standard suppressants ineffective, posing severe risks to his health and pregnancy. Facing the prospect of a dangerous heat cycle and the need for a permanent solution, he made a desperate decision on the night before his winter break.
Consumed by grief and confusion after his diagnosis, Wen Song drank heavily and encountered Zhou Yanzi by chance. In a state of intoxication and pheromone imbalance, Wen Song tore off Zhou Yanzi’s inhibitor patch, leading to a night of lost control where a temporary mark was administered. The following morning, Wen Song discovered he was pregnant. Rather than facing the stigma of an unwed pregnancy or the medical necessity of gland removal, he accepted Zhou Yanzi’s proposal for a marriage of convenience. They registered their union in early January, with Zhou Yanzi citing parental pressure as his primary motivation, while Wen Song viewed it as a chance to stay close to his benefactor. For the next two months, their life together was characterized by Wen Song’s extreme timidity and Zhou Yanzi’s polite but emotionally reserved demeanor. Wen Song constantly worried that he was a burden, believing his husband disliked him and that their marriage was purely transactional.
The core conflict arises from Wen Song’s physical vulnerability and his psychological insecurity. His pheromone disorder causes intense pregnancy discomfort that only Zhou Yanzi’s presence can alleviate, yet Wen Song refuses to ask for a full, permanent mark, fearing it would be a imposition on a husband who does not love him. Meanwhile, Zhou Yanzi observes Wen Song’s suffering with growing concern, noticing the stockpiles of suppressants and painkillers Wen Song hides from him. Zhou Yanzi’s silence is misinterpreted by Wen Song as coldness, deepening his sense of unworthiness. The narrative tension escalates as Wen Song secures an internship at Peisheng Software, a company that assigns him to work at Yun Tu Group, the very company owned by his husband. Wen Song is terrified that working under Zhou Yanzi’s roof will expose their secret marriage and invite professional scandal.
A key turning point occurs when Wen Song meets his new colleagues, including a senior named Xie Baiyu, who recognizes Wen Song from a charity fundraising event four years prior. This connection highlights Wen Song’s enduring kindness and his desire to give back to the orphanage community he left behind. Simultaneously, Zhou Yanzi reveals a hidden layer of his character by arranging for Wen Song to be driven to work in a separate, unmarked car to protect his privacy, while also insisting on Wen Song wearing his wedding ring. Wen Song interprets these gestures through his lens of insecurity, believing Zhou Yanzi is merely managing a liability. The story direction moves toward a gradual unraveling of this misunderstanding. Zhou Yanzi’s actions—cooking for Wen Song, monitoring his health, and displaying visible jealousy toward Xie Baiyu—contradict his stated lack of interest. Wen Song’s internal monologue reveals his desperate hope that his husband’s care is genuine, even as he braces for rejection. The narrative sets the stage for a transition from a cold, contractual cohabitation to a relationship where Zhou Yanzi must confront his own suppressed feelings and Wen Song must find the courage to accept love without feeling like a charity case.
As the story progresses, the professional and personal lives of the two protagonists begin to intertwine more tightly. Wen Song’s internship at Yun Tu places him in direct proximity to Zhou Yanzi, forcing them to navigate the complexities of their public and private personas. The presence of Xie Baiyu introduces a romantic rival who is unaware of Wen Song’s marriage, triggering Zhou Yanzi’s possessive instincts. Wen Song’s commitment to visiting his former orphanage friends, particularly the disabled Peng Peng, serves as a moral anchor, reminding both him and Zhou Yanzi of the values that originally brought them together. The impending heat cycle adds a biological urgency to their emotional standoff, threatening to force a resolution that neither is ready to articulate. The narrative explores themes of class disparity, the trauma of institutional upbringing, and the difficulty of accepting kindness from those perceived as superior. Wen Song’s journey is one of learning to trust, while Zhou Yanzi’s is one of learning to express emotion beyond the confines of duty and social expectation. The story culminates in a series of small, domestic moments that slowly chip away at the walls Wen Song has built around his heart, suggesting that the marriage may evolve from a pragmatic arrangement into a genuine partnership based on mutual care and understanding.
