Perfect Match

Description

Links are NOT allowed. Format your description nicely so people can easily read them. Please use proper spacing and paragraphs.

A deceitful alpha who wants to avoid responsibility for his actions by maintaining his perfect reputation, and a pregnant omega who endures immense pain in isolation. Despite this, their pheromones were 100% compatible with one another, which is commonly referred to as a “Perfect Match.” This case only happens in less than 0.0002% in the general population.

— I made a huge mistake, and now my wife has abandoned me. What should I do now?

— I will chase him relentlessly and stir up trouble until he comes back, even if it means getting down on my knees.

I'm sad that this novel wasn't fully translated so I had to finish reading it using MTL. The story was painful and full of angst. The beginning of their relationship was toxic. I cried so many times for He An. The novel was painful yet I loved reading it (I love angst!). I especially loved it when Feiluan started regretting what he had done after getting back his memory (suffer you jerk!). Even though the MTL wasn't the best but the plot is just too good for me to stop... more>> especially when the ex is getting in the picture. I would definitely re-read when the novel is fully translated. <<less

This make wonder, why every misunderstanding in wealthy character is about protagonist being a gold digger?

These wealthy characters are born with silver spoon and have a powerful family that no one dare to do anything funny. Yet, their main concern to someone with lowest status is being a gold digger. Instead of being alert of others capability to ruin family's honor and wealth, their first concern is others being a gold digger. They are so wealthy, yet their first concern is how money being spent. Even a boss from small... more>> business can afford a gold digger mistress. These wealthy character afraid raising mistress who has their child.

The most common misunderstanding number two is, these wealthy character truly blind about protagonist's good deed. Protagonist never take anything, still labeled as gold digger. Protagonist try to live quitely by leaving, still labeled as someone seeking attention. Protagonist willing to stay and swallow all dirty water, still labeled as ungrateful. In conclusion, protagonist will never treated as proper human 🤦

In this novel, the only reason why ML such an as*hole is: PRIDE. He thinks that acknowledge his feeling for an Omega is a shame. This might be a twisted mind creted by trauma from past relationship. Still, why he easily treated someone's life like piece of sh*t?? He hurts MC's mental and physic repeatedly and has the audicity to blame MC when he is the one who fall into pheromone desire. That supposed brilliant brain can't understand a proper biology between Alpha & Omega. What with those repentant. MC's only HE is being completely free from that monster and fulfill his life with those who truly love him.

Poor MC. He never has choice. ML forced everything upon him. From relationship into his life. He can't properly has a decent life despite being so talented.

The world in this novel is a society where Alpha treated as the most respectful creature, meanwhile the opposite (Omega) treated as the weakest even as disgrace. There is no proper balance in law either. Everything in this world revolved around Alpha's. Omega forever in disadvantage situation. All of that for the reason Omega is weakest physically and has estrus. With these excuse Omega was looked down especially those who came from lower status, more so when Omega is orphaned. Sadly our world more or less like this, just it is between man and woman. I agree woman not compatible physically with man, but doesn't mean they are weakest and unreliable. Countless woman who are better than her peer still looked down and treated poorly. It was so difficult to reach a pure equality. Now we live in era to fix this problem, sadly not all accept the same rational. More so there are communities claim to stand for fairness but only showing an egoistic idealism which make it even worst. <<less

At first I felt bad for MC, he really didn't deserve any of that and he shouldn't have been treated like that by a scumbag.

But then I realized he's a little hypocritical, he mentioned about them being in a contract so he has to follow it but he himself broke the first agreement yet he finds it okay. Second of all, why would the ML think just apologizing and sh*t would fix everything like duck tape? Lowest of the low and a scum to be scorned. The MC is an... more>> annoying person while the other is a scumbag, hmm. <<less

First and foremost, reading this doesn't mean I or you condone r@pe. What you read does not define who you are. Also this is yaoi and an omegverse at that. The au is already teeming with non/dub-con s3x

It's a HE novel - yes, the happy end might put you off knowing the r@pe tw ... more>>
Spoiler

which happened when the omega MC was pregnant wtf and twice at that

[collapse]
with a super scumbag alpha MC.

The alpha MC is a heartless piece of shit, and that's very well established at the beginning of the novel.
Spoiler

based on the alpha mc's sickness both of them are actually doing the deed without the consent of both parties. Alpha MC is not in his right mind when he abuses omega MC and he forgets everything he's done afterwards. He did eventually remember everything and regrets what he has done. He still belongs to jail tho.

[collapse]

The omega MC, well not the smartest MC out there but he's not as brainless and benevolent unlike with other novels i've read.
Spoiler

the MC belatedly realized that he has had enough of the alpha mc's sh*t so I guess his self preservation skills kicks in and starts to avoid alpha MC but sh*t happened, the alpha MC is still able to find him and so he was r-worded the second time which I skipped because bruh I cant. The first one I skimmed through but the second was nope no nein non. But he was able to pick himself up, because of his new born baby (i cried hard btw) and because he has friends around him to support him

[collapse]

Also, what I really liked about this novel are side chars. Especially, alpha ml's parents.
Spoiler

theirs is a story of faded love caused by incorrect decisions and stubbornness. Obv omega mom does not want the same to happen with the younger generation

[collapse]

And alpha+beta side pairing tho it was not explicitly shown.
Spoiler

beta side char was probably only the rational but also not so rational one here (that's the vibe I got). The unconditional help he gave to omega MC is immense though it started from pity, it gave them a strong bond, which the omega MC especially needed. These arr not explicitly stated but that's how I felt

[collapse]

overall rating is 5 because imo a story that makes me immersed and emotionally invested in it is a good story. Also babies 😍.

i missed out on a lot of good points but I do hope the low rating does not deter you from reading this. It's not a masterpiece but if you're feeling like you want a not-so-heartbreaking-but-still-painful-moment type of crying then this should be a good read for you

PS, there's a face slapping part too thats a plus for me <<less

Its HE!! A new take on ABO world which is recommended for ABO lovers-it will widen your horizon. There is abuse at the beginning. A little on the extreme side of things-not physically and bloody but sexually n more psychological. The relationship progressed so badly to the point where I feel they are just better off apart. If I have to nitpick, the abuse chapters could be handled better - too fast paced and sloppy for me- it makes me feel stressed out instead of deep empathy for MC. Novels... more>> like this with abuse at the beginning needed to be redeemed properly to balance out the extremity of the abuse. This one does it in an alright way, not too awesome but still passable. Redemption was carried out not in an explosive way like the abuse part but much slower paced and their love would unfold slowly through forgiveness and the erosion of pain through time.

*major major spoiler ahead.

Spoiler

MC loved ML wholeheartedly due to their pheromonal attraction of 100% which is rare. ML had a personality disorder (like dr jekyl n mr hyde) and carried w him baggage of past failed relationship-dumped due to compatibility %. So he wasn't fazed by 100%. But his other personality that was guided by instinct would look him up when he was in heat and r*pe and abuse him for a year. MC was okay getting r*ped-getting ML's assistant to pick him up before he sobers up n changes personality. One day he sobered up bf MC cld send him away at the tm MC was alr 6mo pregnant. ML was angered to the point that he forced MC to abort the baby n hide himself away-if he didn't hid well enuf fr mr hyde then he would have to move to another city. So he hid himself but mr hyde still found him n r*ped him till his water broke n all bloody. He was rushed to hospie by assistant, gave birth then ML's lawyer came n forced him to have a gland removal operation so their compatibility rating will be the lowest - at 7%, otherwise, baby will be forcefully taken awy frm him. On top of tht he must leave the city. MC reluctantly abide since he didnt wanna lose baby. Had tht terrifying operation tht made him handicapped for life - His own baby bcms afraid of him due to his foreign fake pheromone, he became impotent and had no s*xual desire (talk about extreme). Thank God it doesn't get any worse than this. Redemption time: ML sickness got so bad since Mr Hyde was frantically running around n consuming the consciousness of Dr Jekyl. He was fired by his dad since he couldn't control himself. Finally, memories converge n Dr Jekyl n Mr Hyde becomes 1 person n ML realized he wronged MC. Moved to another city n stayed close by his side, slowly planned on wooing him. But this time MC couldn't even get close to him coz d pheromones repel n he would become extremely sick if ML touches or spent too long w him. To prevent Mr Hyde fr coming out again n hurt MC, ML tied his wrist to the bedpost every night till his wrists became all bloody n his skin came off.. He wore a wrist band to cover it up. One night he finally lost control n escaped, hurt MC one more time. He was so traumatized tht he flew back home n tried to have his pheromone gland removed- Only stopped in time by his alpha dad n so he was locked up. ML's omega dad came to visit MC n MC finally was going to reconcile with ML. Things only get sweeter here so I don;t need to spoil the rest. Thank you.

Ok important things first. If you're here because the introduction sounds nice, warm and fluffy, you're definitive wrong here. This novel has some very serious tags like r*pe and s*xual abuse. It's not something you can just read and be happy and relaxed.
For more than 30 chapters all you get is r*pe, mental and s*xual abuse and angst. If you get through these chapters in the beginning you can try the rest of the novel.

I have mtled from ch11 to ch200 so I won't say anything about the translation.... more>> Mtl is more than readable.

And now a more "realistic" introduction:
He An is a beautiful, young and obedient omega. Sadly his pheromone are very rare so he can't match with most alphas until he one day meets Zheng Feiluan with whom he has an extremely rare match of 100%. Feiluan refuses to accept him and his love, ridicules him and finally walks away. But soon he unconsciously misses and needs the soothing pheromones of his "other half" while he deliberately stays away from He An to not get "controlled" by the pheromones of this "weak and pathetic" omega. His suppressed obsession takes over his body, seaches for He An and regularly r*pes him without Feiluans knowledge. More things happen and Failuan gradually drives He An into a corner. Will An He ever forgive Feiluan?

I was very torn about this novel and in the end decided for 4 stars. This story is not a pure and beautiful love story, it's about the cruel side of the ABO universe and the consequences of giving young/inexperienced people so much power and control over another person. Many times throughout the novel I just wanted to strangle the ML and then hug MC and cry together with him. In the end it gets better, but it still feels a bit like stockholm syndrome.
The best thing about this novel is the development of its characters. They realise that it can't go on like this and actively and very determined change. You can see their struggles and difficulties which is very beautiful.
I still don't like the r*pe and how the author tries to justify it, but I have to admit that in the end ML is a decent human being and no more tr*sh, comparable to the scum in DPUBFTB. This development gave me the strength to finish this novel.

So if you still want to read it and you don't suddenly realise that you are wrong here, pick up your anti-stress-ball and enjoy the story! <<less

I MTL-ED THIS IMMEDIATELY AFTER CHAP 3. This is one of those stories wherein MC falls in love first and ML is cold towards MC, which is not very common in danmei or BL. This really is my cup of tea, except for some things that are too spoily.

A solid 4.5 for me except that I cant rate in decimals ???

MTL is kinda understandable but still there are repetitive words. However, I cried for like... 20 chapters while reading this. Dont drop this guys! This is a very good story.... more>> Dont worry about the originally scum gong, he'll get better in the end. One of the characters is the real scum, but what he did has been resolved easily. Flow of story is very consistent and no major plotholes are found.

If you love dog blood drama like me and have no real life, this one is for you. I really really want to tell everything I feel about this novel but that would be spoiler-y.

and yeah ML's assistant is a real cutiepie uwu <<less

This is an unbearable story to read. The kind of story where you not only break down in tears once, you just start a new round of tears every chapter. The ML is an absolute scum with an ideal of 'Alpha' built by both society and his father who appears to treat Omega's as medicine for their pheromones. Being suppress by his brother and having been abandoned by an Omega he loved, he's pretty cold hearted and irrational rational. He thinks he's dong what's best, but is only driving himself... more>> into a corner.

An MC is an Omega, sweet but a bit dull and average. He endures the hard ship of his alpha, who constantly resist his pheromones, only to be r*ped every two months. This means, even while he was pregnant, he was forced upon by the bastard.

I don't think the ML deserves even a shred of the MC. He doesn't deserve the patience and love the MC gave, nor the pain he endured. What he deserved, was the slow rightful retaliation of the MC who finally learned to not be defeated by pheromones.

Despite all the hate I have for this story, the Author is still incredible. I don't find myself to be too emotional invested in stories. I might cry here or there but I don't have a deep impression. For this story, it has been stuck in my mind for a month, bring out tears when I least expect. Every once in a while, I'll just be sitting on the couch when suddenly some ninja comes up to cut onions!

Even so, the ML was a big turn off for this story. He's the driving force of this story, and he does it with no subtly which makes me very uncomfortable. He has no care for the MC and his emotions, although they are there, come from all the wrong places. You may have thought you had seen scum, but there is no scum as scummy as him. <<less

Rating 3.5

I like the author's style

She made it much more logical. I feel this genre of dog-blood writing in danmei is littered with a lot of illogical, melodramatic subplots.I did like the premise of two personalities. The one created by the disorder and the one which was rational. Zheng Feiluan (ML) couldn't accept that he could be controlled to the point by an Omega that he completely lost control of himself and became a different man. That he couldn't survive without him.

It's interesting to me though that the ML... more>> quit his position out of sheer stubbornness because he didn't want to give in and be controlled by his pheromones and need for He An (his omega and MC).

This is usually played out very differently in other Danmeis with scum gongs. Like the whole contract marriage/relationship trope is this. That they have to be with the shou because they need them to retain their inheritance/business for whatever reasons. Here something opposite to that happens.

Spoiler

ML mate seeking disease version - who is like a beast. He needs only the omega. He loves/seeks He An
ML in conscious state. Loves this person he dreams/hallucinates about, whom he calls little Nightingale.
But who is little nightingale. And what are these dreams that feel so real, almost like memories. Those are real memories between his make-seeking version and He An have done it. (His conscious self does not remember those. The part of the disease is that he doesn't remember anything he did in his mate-seeking version). So, basically his subconscious starts dreaming of his memories of real life events.

ML basically loves the MC

[collapse]

Not the best story out there. But it had something going for it. It kept the pages turning.

It has something I don't like though. Them falling in love out of nowhere (but then the author also explains the 100% match's pull. So I guess there is that). But yes there is some acknowledgement of this fact. Like the MC says that he lost himself and his dignity in the relationship because he put the ML on a pedestal. He was so laser focused on him, he was looking at him with a filter on. Flawless yes, but also artificial. Less real. So his first feelings did not have a very real basis.

I found the ML to be more decent than a lot of other scums I have read about. He was not a playboy and there was some sense to why he acted the way he did. This is a guy who has been taught since childhood to always win and be in control of any situation. And not just be in control, but to be on top of any situation. So, when he comes across his omega partner, a person with who he has a 100% match. The person is an immediate threat because the omega can control him completely. He is powerless in front of this person. This is against every principle he believes in and has been taught and practiced all his life.

I really love the interaction between the MC and ML's omega dad. ML's dad Yan Ning is such a dignified and lovely character. The story of ML's parents was interesting.

Spoiler

But there relationship remained unreconciled which made sense to me because Yan Ning has not changed but Hong Ming has. It is easy for Hong Ming to love Yan Ning, because the one he loved at 20 is the same man he wants to come back to at 40 but Hong Ming is a changed man. He has done too much, changed too much. Beyond recognisable to Yan Ning anymore. The young man he fell in love with in his youth is no longer there, only a shadow of him exists.

Having finished, my only thought is that ML did not suffer enough!! Everything just went too smoothly for him and he didn't go through enough on his redemption journey to truly satisfy me. I guess in his defense it was his alter ego going crazy and not the real him... but that distinction just isn't enough for me.

I needed something a little more to happen to ML, like his glands being removed and suffering like the MC, or going through a more intense regret arc where he went catatonic in... more>> emotional pain. Something like that maybe could have really sealed the deal, but he really just had no repercussions for treating MC like human waste in the first few chapters.

Honestly I'm unsatisfied finishing, but they do live happily ever after and it seems like ML won't make the same mistakes again at this point, so I guess it's for the best. Alas, this novel just wasn't enough to give me the sadistic pleasure of watching a scum gong suffer. There's definitely better novels out there when it comes to redemption arcs. This one didn't even make me cry. <<less

At first, I nearly dropped this novel bcs the ML is really a scum, he even had thoughts to kill the MC bcs he wanted his illness gone.

BUT, after 40 chapters (i guess?) I started to enjoy ML suffering bcs he realized how bad he was towards the MC, and I love the way MC kissed ML with straight face to prove he really didn't have any desire nor feelings left for ML, the same treatment he got from ML in the beginning of this story, lol.

The ML surpringly is... more>> really considerate towards the MC, slowly approaching him without any force or threat, gently using every single chance to make up. Im really surprised he can be this gentle!

(usually another story have some kind of gong that would use every single of their power and resources to fight for their child custody for winning the shou's heart back, even manipulate the shou, yeah overbearing typeblablabla)

BUT THIS ML DIDN'T DO THAT. He even beg MC to let him stay around the MC by making a pastry shop (?) across MC's place, so that they can stay close, and the ML could court the MC easily hahah. They use point system, so every morning the ML would ask for yesterday performance score and how many points he needed to collect before getting MC's heart back. They're really cute omg 😭

AND I really cried when I read ML's parents love story huhu. I still hope they're gonna reconcile. <<less

I read the full story using google translation and this is one of my most favorite BLs. I totally love it. Call me insane. Yes, I am. There is r*pe, violence, very arrogant, cruel ML. But he fell insanely in love with the MC, later. The MC was initially treated very bad by the ML I cannot deny but he fell madly in love with his mate later. He did regret, repent, asked for forgiveness several times, did everything possible so that his mate forgives him and accepts him. The... more>> dominant alpha pleaded for one chance from his omega and I am glad they both got their happy ending.
The MC too was insanely in love with the ML. I am glad they gradually sorted out their differences, understood each other and forgave and accepted their feelings for e/o. They cant live without each other, then its better to forget their bitter past and look forward to a bright future.

This story may not be for everyone but if anyone is looking for angst, tears, pinning for love, supporting lover, then go ahead and read this. Very good story. Happy Ending ofcourse. There is no rush. They both took their time and then decided to give their lives a second chance with each other. <<less

Spoiler

The things that ML does to him was really so brutal.. My heart ached for him so much, the way he gave in to ML over and over again till he could not because of the baby was so selfless, he kept losing so many things from the start, enduring so much hurt.

ML owes him the world, and he will likely spend the rest of his life atoning..

[collapse]

ML was the definition of scum at the beginning.

Spoiler

But it was likely deep rooted in the way he was brought up, his prejudice towards omegas.. and this s*upid illness he had.

[collapse]

He does not stay scum forever.

Overall, I believe this stories depicts the character growth amidst the ABO primal instincts, the cruelty of a 'perfect match' and being a s*ave to an illness that ML was trying so hard to deny and suppress..

Spoiler

It really makes me wonder what if ML did not have the illness.. probably their love will still have some issues.. but the hurt on MC would not have been so ruthless...

[collapse]

But I agree that many people will not be able to stomach such a story... so it is wise to read the tags first. But personally I feel it is good to give it a chance. Thankfully..

Spoiler

It has a happy ending, I am just awaiting the extra stories now and will relive the pain as the translation teams update.

This was a great read. Some people might get turned off by the incident in the first chapter and there's nothing wrong with that

Spoiler

since it happens and is mentioned in a few other chapters too

[collapse]

however, the author does explain why the ML acts that way (not that I'm condoning the act). But as a reader, if you can't grit your teeth and get past this aspect, better not pick this up and ruin your day, but if you can, then i'd say it'll be worth giving this a chance.

Yes it's dog-blood - there's angst and a lot of struggle, you'd think the MC just can't get a break, but it also tells of friendship, enduring affection, redemption, and how love forgives. It's not as fluffy, but there is fluff. Overall, the story is really good. It also provides a somewhat realistic telling of how relationships end up, you either separate or you work through it - doing your best to atone for your mistakes, acknowledging and address what the real issue is, and deciding whether you're willing to stay and continue to love the other person despite everything.

Now, although this won't be everyone's cup of tea, it's still honestly a great read. <<less

One thing for sure: don't bring normal set of logic into this novel. It'll not work, and make you hate this novel.

I saw this as kind of critique and horrifying aspect of omegaverse. Usually with pheromones and ABO, all is beautiful. But this novel turn that around.

It starts with a gruesome beginning with a feelings and bonds completely shattered, leading to a rocky path to redemption and reconciliation. The pregnant omega, He An (translated as He Shore in MLT), is lost in love with a callous and unfeeling alpha, Zheng Feiluan (translated as Zheng Feixuan in MLT). The losses that He An suffers is tearjerking, losses that has long term consequences that haunts both He An and Zheng Feixuan throughout the novel.

It shows that the small decisions you make could have major consequences. It's all about... more>> learning from past mistakes and owning up to those mistakes

Spoiler

It's sad that the ML's parents', Yan Ning and Zheng HongMing's, relationship never really repairs. As Yan Ning shares his story with He An, he tells him that Zheng Feiluan made the same mistake as Zheng HongMing, but his relationship with HongMing is beyond repair because HongMing waited too long (20 years!) to try to reconcile. By the end of the novel, we see Zheng HongMing is still earnestly trying to rekindle his relationship with Yan Ning, who never responds with anything more than common courtesy.

Here's a little snippet from ch. 74 from MTL-ing:

[Zheng Hongming is not good at pleasing people, but also pull edgy, slightly embarrassed to accompany Yan Ning into the study, asked him what books he had read recently, what interesting things happened in the school, the annual routine medical examination has not found out the problem... Yan Ning, all gave a response, gentle and friendly attitude, pick no mistakes, but the bias stopped on this most appropriate boundary, and then want to more ambiguous no.
Zheng Hongming had nothing to do and had to sit on the sidelines and hurry.
He bank and Zheng Feixuan through the study, feel the feeling of the sad atmosphere that pervades the air, not squinting, quickly fled the scene. ]

I think Dai and Cheng Xiu were a side couple, but it was really hard to tell through the MTL. It became very obvious to me when they're still running the inn together when He An moved out to live with Zheng Feiluan. It wasn't really obvious since the development in their relationship happened outside the novel and was never cover, but we get hints from the fact that they're always together and quarrel a lot. The two are never really affectionate. They just live an ordinary life together with no melo-drama.

This is my first time reading a Chinese novel that features a ABO dynamic. It is interesting how this one really delves deeply into the biological and anatomnical concepts of ABO like pheromones levels and gonads. The author really explains them in detail and they play a critical role in the novel. The ABO dynamic is a interesting element to the story as the biological instincts sets off a chain of events that are beyond the control of the characters and the consequences they deal with as a result of that.

To read this novel, you already need to have some understanding of the ABO concepts. I believe that person who gave low ratings based on the first chapter probably didn't know what ABO is. I agree that the first chapter is gruesome, but that reviewer didn't read far enough to understand the complexities of the ABO factor that lead to the incident in the first chapter.

There's also a lot of talks about business concepts and entrepreneurship since He An runs a inn and Zheng Feiluan runs a pastry shop. Having to deal with problematic customers, resolving disputes, and marketing tactics. <<less
