Ye Lincer, a handsome Alpha with a perfect family background and revered as the school’s top heartthrob, always held a specific impression of Omegas — they were sweet talkers who fawned over him, delivering him water and snacks, calling him ‘big brother’ in a flattery tone, and would scream with excitement whenever they saw him. That is, until he got involved with Xie Chu.

The first time they spoke, this deceptive Omega pretended to be his boyfriend. The next time, Ye Lincer sought Xie Chu’s help with homework, only to find himself, the renowned heartthrob, punished and standing outside the classroom. And then, when he kindly sheltered an Omega in heat, he ended up losing his bed and had rumors about a romance spread throughout the school.

Later, as an Alpha who repeatedly found himself at the mercy of Xie Chu, and whose heart raced at the mere mention of the title ‘big brother’, Ye Lincer became deeply skeptical. He couldn’t trust Omegas, especially the beautiful ones. The prettier they were, the more deceptive they seemed.

“You dare to deceive me, you will definitely call me ‘big brother’,” Ye Lincer warned.

One day, in a bathroom stall, he caught a glimpse of an Omega with a delicate, fair nape of the neck. Ye Lincer’s throat tightened; his nostrils filled with the sweet, misleading pheromones of the trickster — a faint scent of young green plums.

Xie Chu called out sweetly, “Brother Ye.”

In a hoarse voice, Ye Lincer responded, “Don’t call me that.”
