"I Made This Myself"
"Fine, don’t show me."
Qin Yilin scoffed.
"But a friendly warning—Zhiyan’s picky. Don’t step on a landmine."
He held back one detail:
Qin Zhiyan had a strict policy of never accepting gifts.
First, because he lacked nothing.
Second, because his high status made him wary of ulterior motives.
Presents were always declined.
Qin Yilin was here for the drama.
Whether Tang Keyi got humiliated by rejection or Qin Zhiyan broke his rule for him—
both outcomes were entertaining.
Tang Keyi shrugged, unbothered.
Since I didn’t prepare anything,
what landmine could there even be?
That afternoon, while handing documents to Qin Zhiyan for signing,
Tang Keyi’s mind raced.
[It’s his birthday… should I say “happy birthday”?]
[What if he asks for a gift afterward?]
[Who’s shameless enough to demand presents outright?]
[Maybe I should skip work later to pick something?]
[But anything I can afford, he already owns. What’s even the point?]
[Forget it. I’ll pretend I don’t know. It’s not like he’ll announce it himself.]
Decision made.
Qin Zhiyan: Heh. How naive.
After signing, Qin Zhiyan set down his pen, lifted his gaze, and smirked.
"It’s my birthday today. What gift did you prepare for me?"
[Holy shit!]
Tang Keyi’s soul left his body.
Of course the worst-case scenario happened.
[Qin Zhiyan really is that shameless!]
Qin Zhiyan: Correct. I am.
His faint smile carried a dangerous edge.
"You didn’t forget, did you? If you didn’t even know my birthday, were all those ‘I like you’ claims just lies?"
Tang Keyi stiffened.
[He’s pulling this again? How is he not tired of this script?]
[Maybe I can say I left it at home… Would he buy that?]
Qin Zhiyan: Heh. No.
Preemptively crushing his escape route, Qin Zhiyan added,
"Don’t bother saying you ‘forgot to bring it.’ If you did, I’d be happy to accompany you to retrieve it."
[Qin Zhiyan, have some humanity!]
Leaning back, Qin Zhiyan reveled in Tang Keyi’s floundering.
Few things amused him more.
Then—inspiration struck.
Tang Keyi did have something on him.
Yesterday, after work, he’d passed a silver jewelry workshop running a promotion.
With his leftover salary, he’d decided to craft a simple keepsake to commemorate his first paycheck.
Four hours of struggle later, he’d produced only a crude little silver pendant.
He’d drilled a hole, threaded it onto a black cord, and called it a bracelet.
It was currently in his jacket pocket.
[…But I don’t want to give it to him.]
Qin Zhiyan’s eyebrow twitched.
What treasure could he possibly be hoarding?
Denying him time to hesitate, Qin Zhiyan pressed,
"If you have it, hand it over. I’m so looking forward to it."
"Fine…"
Defeated, Tang Keyi trudged out like a man heading to the gallows.
[He’ll probably hate it and throw it back at me.]
Qin Zhiyan had expected a luxury watch or gemstone—
why else would Tang Keyi cling to it? Instead, he got… a cord bracelet?
For a moment, he thought it was a half-hearted placeholder.
But Tang Keyi’s reluctant pout suggested otherwise.
Examining it, he noted the small silver plaque engraved with a lopsided candy shape.
The craftsmanship was abysmal, the polish uneven—everything his perfectionist soul despised.
Why cherish something so crude?
[Why’s he staring so long? Does he… actually like it?]
[No way. My work’s so bad even I can’t stand it.]
Realization dawned.
This is Tang Keyi’s handiwork?
No wonder it was hideous.
"This bracelet…"
Qin Zhiyan turned it over, scrambling for diplomacy.
"…is quite cute."
[Huh? If I hadn’t made it, I’d think it was trash. His taste is… wow.]
Qin Zhiyan’s face darkened.
I throw you a bone, and you mock my judgment?
Unacceptable.
He amended coldly,
"The silver piece is ugly, but the cord is cute."
[It’s literally just a black string. What’s cute about it?]
[If it’s so ugly, give it back! I made it with my first salary! It’s sentimental! I haven’t even worn it myself!]
Ah. So that was it.
His first paycheck memento.
No wonder he’d hesitated.
If you won’t wear it, I will.
"Help me put it on,"
Qin Zhiyan ordered.
[Qin Zhiyan, you heartless monster!]
But a gift given couldn’t be taken back.
Grudgingly, Tang Keyi adjusted the length and fastened it around Qin Zhiyan’s left wrist.
The black cord against pale skin, draped over faint veins, carried a stark, elegant severity.
Here, where pulse met heart, it felt like binding something deeper.
Watching Tang Keyi’s sulky compliance, Qin Zhiyan’s mood soared.
Nothing pleased him more than Tang Keyi’s helpless frustration.
The joy even softened his view of the shoddy bracelet.
…It’s growing on me.
"Thank you for the gift. I love it."
His delight was unmistakable.
To Tang Keyi’s surprise, beyond reluctance, an odd warmth flickered.
Seeing Qin Zhiyan appreciate his work felt… inexplicably satisfying.
Well.
At least he has taste.

"Ahhh!" "Where's my big dragon!" "Why did it become a little dragon?!" Following a sharp explosion, Nian Jinsui stared in disbelief. He checked his body repeatedly with his eyes, and finally raised his head like a bolt out of the blue, and his eyes fell on the mirror in front of him. The boy in the mirror had fluffy chestnut curly hair, his skin was as smooth and shiny as white jade, and his cheeks were stained with a faint blush, as if covered with a light crimson haze. His facial features are particularly exquisite, and he looks like God's favorite at first glance. His eyes were very bright and moist, and they were slightly widened at this time, full of surprise. Even the pink lips were slightly open, and it seemed that he had been greatly shocked. One look at this appearance, and you can tell that he is a noble, pampered kid from a rich family. Nian Jinsui looked at the face in front of him...

“Mr. Nian, Mr. Qin asked me to bring my family’s second young master here. I’ll leave him in your care.” A middle-aged man in a loose suit stood respectfully outside the Nian family villa, speaking to Nian Yixin. “Of course, Mr. Qin has already informed me.” Nian Yixin replied with a polite smile, though his expression carried a natural air of measured distance. He was the head of the Nian family and, notably, an Omega. Nian Yixin’s gaze landed on the young man beside the driver. The youth stood straight, his frame lean like a proud green bamboo. His features were sharp and handsome, his eyes deep and dark, as though concealing icy cracks beneath a cold river, exuding an air of coldness and eeriness. At the corner of his right eye, there was a small mole, adding a faint trace of aloofness to his expression. His indifferent demeanor and taciturn nature made him less than charming as a guest. “So this is Chengyu? You’ll be living with us from now on. Feel free to...

"Son, I know you’re upset right now, but for the sake of the bigger picture, you need to endure this for now" Qin Mu yun advised. "Nian Jinsui is the type who thrives on making a fuss. If this incident gets blown up and reaches your grandfather’s ears, it’ll be hard to handle." Compared to Qin Cheng luo, Qin Mu yun was slightly more level-headed. Although she was angry, she hadn’t lost her rationality. With Qin Zhuo currently evaluating Qin Cheng luo, they couldn’t afford to take any risks. Qin Cheng luo, though unwilling, understood the gravity of the situation. "Don’t worry, Mom. Once I become the head of Qin Corporation, handling Qin Chengyu will be a piece of cake. I’ll make sure Nian Jinsui kneels before me, begging for my mark!" "Someone that even Chu Heting doesn’t want—what’s so special about him? If it weren’t for the fact that he’s the only son of the Nian family, who could tolerate his ...
Chapter 3 Come on, just let him kiss you.

Nian Jinsui was having a beautiful dream. In his dream, he had returned to his original body and even met his dream Omega. The little Omega’s face wasn’t clear; he could only see those soft-looking lips approaching him, with a faint, sweet fragrance. So proactive—how could he wait any longer? Nian Jinsui widened his eyes, trying to see the Omega’s face clearly. He puckered his lips in anticipation of those tender, delicate lips. As his vision sharpened, however... The person before him had cold, indifferent eyes, even showing a trace of reluctance and resistance. Even the mole at the corner of his eye seemed to emit disdain. Yet, those lips were exceptionally beautiful—plump and defined, looking so tempting to bite. Come on, come on, just give him a kiss… Just as Qin Chengyu’s lips were about to touch Nian Jinsui’s, their eyes met. Qin Chengyu saw Nian Jinsui’s intoxicated gaze, coupled with the subtle movements of his lips. Qin Chengyu quickly lowered his eyes, ...
Chapter 5 What do you call a person who can’t smell?

Nian Jinsui couldn't help but think of Qin Chengyu's life experience. The current leader of the Qin family, Qin Zhuo, is nearly seventy years old. He is still energetic and quick-thinking, and holds all the power of the Qin family firmly in his hands. Qin Zhuo is a top Alpha with high IQ and strong ability. Under his hands, the Qin family has developed into one of the three major families in the imperial capital. At the same time, he is also a proud and arrogant person. He hopes that his high-quality Alpha genes can continue to carry forward the Qin family. It's a pity that he only has two Omega daughters, Qin Muyun and Qin Muyu. Qin Zhuo could only recruit two Alpha sons-in-law, and put his hope in his grandchildren. Later, Qin Muyun and Qin Muyu gave birth to sons one year apart. It's just that Qin Muyu was not in good health originally, and became even more weak after giving birth to a child, and died a few years later. Her husband was distraught, depressed all day ...
