The Cranky Little Omega is Pretending to Be Good Again Today

An Xun is a twenty-two-year-old omega from the once-prosperous An family, which has now gone bankrupt. Abandoned by his father and mistreated by his stepmother Chen Xiang, An Xun cut ties with his family years ago and lives independently in Jiang City, working a modest job while harboring fantasies about Bo Xiangzhou, the city's wealthiest and most desirable alpha. When the An family faces total financial collapse, Chen Xiang forces An Xun into a marriage arrangement with Bo Xiangzhou, who has a 99% compatibility match with him. The Bo family agrees to rescue the An family from bankruptcy in exchange for the marriage.

Despite his rebellious nature, An Xun sees an opportunity for financial security and agrees to the arrangement, secretly planning to wait out the years until the An family inevitably collapses again. He meets Bo Xiangzhou at a high-end restaurant where he had previously caused a scene with the staff. An Xun adopts a submissive, sweet persona to appeal to Bo Xiangzhou's known preference for obedient omegas, successfully charming him with flattery and coy behavior. They quickly obtain their marriage certificate, and An Xun moves into the Bo family estate, where he is given a pink-decorated guest bedroom and a monthly allowance of one million.

At the estate, An Xun continues his careful performance as a well-behaved omega while secretly maintaining his true personality. He visits Bo Xiangzhou's grandmother in the hospital, where he accidentally reveals that Bo Xiangzhou has never been to a Japanese restaurant, exposing his fabricated story. Despite this minor stumble, the elderly Bo matriarch warmly approves of An Xun. Back at the estate, An Xun navigates interactions with the butler Uncle Lin and other staff, gradually becoming more comfortable in his new life while still hiding his sharp wit and rebellious streak from Bo Xiangzhou.

Meanwhile, An Xun learns that his brother An Xin has begun a relationship with Cheng Song, a wealthy alpha and friend of Bo Xiangzhou, which threatens the An family's prospects for additional protection. An Xun also continues his old job while living at the estate, clashing with his coworker Meng Xiao and frequently considering resignation. He maintains a close friendship with Tao Nian, another omega, confiding in him about the marriage and seeking advice on maintaining his carefully constructed persona. The story follows An Xun's dual life as he balances his secret plans against the An family with his growing, complicated relationship with Bo Xiangzhou, whose true feelings and intentions remain unclear beneath his composed exterior.
