Shi You is a mutated mushroom, Beta who turned into a human form. Since childhood, his pheromones have been unstable and require regular “warm nourishment.” Recently, he’s even showing signs of differentiating into an Omega. Because of his unique mushroom physiology, it’s hard for him to find a pheromone spray that suits him. Until one day, Shi You meets a Botany major Alpha at Capital University. The Alpha’s pheromone smells like cool fir wood, a scent perfectly suited for autumn, and a mushroom’s favorite. So, in desperate need of a host to provide warmth, Shi You lies down directly on Lu Yicheng’s bed and bluntly says: “Um, I’m a mushroom, and also an Omega. Would you like to keep me?” Lu Yicheng: “…” What the hell. — Lu Yicheng is the young master of the Lu family: cold and restrained, 188 cm tall with broad shoulders and a narrow waist. Despite his handsome “bad Alpha” face, he’s actually a serious, research-focused botanist. Recently, his family has been urging him to go on blind dates, and on a friend’s suggestion, he plans to find a fake partner to fend off admirers. He never expected a Beta reeking of pheromones to suddenly stick to him and ask if he wanted to “raise a mushroom.” Ridiculous. Then, right before his eyes, the pretty little thing extends thin, soft mycelium tent**les to wrap around him and shyly asks: “…Maybe, do you like tentacle play?” Lu Yicheng: “…” Well then. — Lu Yicheng agrees to help Shi You through his latest pheromone-nourishing cycle. For 16 hours a day, they hold hands, hug, cuddle, and share pheromone comfort, without missing a single step. The mushroom thrives under Lu Yicheng’s care, and when it’s finally over, Shi You starts feeling embarrassed. He thinks: such a good Alpha, he can’t keep being selfish and monopolizing him. So the next day, Shi You says to him, “You don’t need to take care of me anymore. If you keep this up, you’ll lose all your admirers and end up alone.” Lu Yicheng looks up, his dark eyes steady as he places breakfast in front of Shi You. The usually stern face carries a hint of grievance, “Are you breaking up with me?” Shi You: “?” When were we ever dating?? #Thought it was a pure caretaker relationship #I treated you as a respected host, but you just want to be my husband — 1v1, ultra-sweet, ultra-fluffy romance!
