Tan Ning is a beta. Despite his stunning looks, he remains an unpopular outcast. At school, he always wears a gloomy expression, so withdrawn he hardly seems normal. Ostracized by his peers, he couldn’t care less, throwing himself into tutoring and odd jobs to make money, keeping to himself. In stark contrast stands Lin Song’an, a top-tier alpha, the privileged heir of a wealthy family, surrounded by admirers wherever he goes. He lacks nothing and scorns everything. During a joint meeting between their faculties, halfway through, Tan Ning drifted in like a ghost, expressionless, and silently took the empty seat beside Lin Song’an. All eyes turned to them, exchanging bewildered glances—who would dare sit so boldly next to Lin Song’an?! Lin Song’an’s friends immediately moved to drag him away. But Lin Song’an raised a hand slightly, signaling it was fine. After the meeting, Tan Ning left without a word. Everyone assumed Lin Song’an and Tan Ning would never cross paths. One day, after class, Tan Ning walked out of school alone, his backpack slung over his shoulder as he headed south. At the end of the road, he slipped into a luxury car waiting at the alley’s corner—only to be pounced on the moment he sat inside. Lin Song’an kissed him, arms tight around him, hands roaming his waist. "Why didn’t you answer my calls?" Lin Song’an asked. Tan Ning’s gaze remained indifferent as he replied, "Didn’t we agree? Just twice a month."
