Born a Beta like his birth mother, whom society labeled a mistress, Seong Hajin has spent his life enduring discrimination and scorn from his family.

Now, on the orders of Chairman Kwon of HK Group—who’s always held him in special regard—he finds himself forced into marrying Kwon Sayoung, a dominant Alpha he’s secretly loved for years. The problem? Sayoung is the longtime lover of Seong Yeonwoo, Hajin’s own half-brother and a dominant Omega.

“I’m only going through with the engagement. Living together… just think of it as part of the show.”

“…”

“No matter how much you’ve dreamed of marrying me, that’s as far as I’m willing to go.”

As misunderstandings pile up, the two begin a fake marriage for very different reasons. Hajin’s emotions grow more and more tangled.

Meanwhile, Sayoung’s younger brother, Kwon Sabin, begins to circle around Hajin, pulling him into even deeper confusion…

“If you’re in love with Kwon Sayoung… does that mean I can’t tell you that I like you?”

How will the twisted threads of their entangled relationships unravel?

Omegaverse, beta x 2 dominant alphas, extremely angsty, full of ab*se, power imbalance, dub-con (?) and heavy emotional trauma.

Kwon Sayoung, 1ML, 30, dominant alpha. He’s cold, ambitious and honestly... very easy to hate. His personality is harsh and doesn't care.

Kwon Sabin, 2ML, 24, dominant alpha and an actor. He’s childish, tsundere, foul-mouthed but more bearable compared to Sayoung.

... more>> Seong Hajin, 24, beta.

From the very beginning, his life is painful. He was ab*sed by everyone half-brothers, family, school, for being both illegitimate and a beta. What makes it worse is that everyone knew about the physical ab*se yet no one stepped in to help him.

Later, Hajin is forced into an engagement with Kwon Sayoung (by MLs grandfather) who is already in a relationship with Yeonwoo (dominant omega), Hajin’s half-brother.

1ML knew Hajin had been ab*sed since childhood. But the “help” he offered was the bare minimum. Instead of protecting him properly, he accused him, saying things like Hajin forced the grandfather to arrange the marriage or that he gave him a rut inducer. The hypocrisy is frustrating because shouldn’t he be questioning his own “lover” about abusing Hajin? Yet he never does.

And what made me even more annoyed, even after 64 chapters, he still hadn’t properly broken up with Yeonwoo. Isn't this emotional cheating?

Now about 2ML, he’s not perfect but he’s more tolerable. He and Hajin went to the same high school. Sabin admits that he used to bully Hajin but it wasn’t physical ab*se. He was more of a foul-mouthed brat than a real bully. And unlike Sayoung, Sabin actually helps Hajin when Sayoung is too busy being with Yeonwoo.

Hajin’s character is the most heartbreaking part. He’s in unrequited love with Sayoung and everyone knows it, which makes it humiliating for him. But I honestly understood him.

When you’ve grown up receiving nothing, even the smallest kindness feels huge. The first time Sayoung helped him, it probably felt like the first time anyone ever stood up for him. That small act turned into admiration and that admiration turned into unrequited love.

And when you love someone like that, your pride and self-respect slowly crumble. You cling to the smallest possibility, even if the person only gives you crumbs. Because for Hajin, those crumbs were more than he ever had before.

As for the side characters... I honestly disliked most of them. Yeonwoo and Suhyeon were very cruel. Even the MLs mother wasn’t much better.

Spoiler

I’m almost sure Hajin will present as an omega and there might be mpreg.

Overall, this novel is painful, every chapter was painful for me and emotionally exhausting, but Hajin’s character is what keeps it interesting. You feel angry for him, you pity him and sometimes you want to love him. But you also understand why he is the way he is.

And MLs sister, alpha, really loved her character. Even though her interaction with Hajin was brief, she seemed genuinely kind and decent. I wish she had more screen time.

Spoiler

I was honestly hoping both MLs would end up with Hajin. But from what I researched, it seems like 1ML ends up with Hajin. I might be wrong.

Also, the translation: ai and understandable overall. Chapters 61 and 62 are the same.
