I Like Your Pheromones

❤️ Main Relationship

Lu Xingci (路星辞) × Duan Jiayan (段嘉衍)

✨ Introduction

I Like Your Pheromones (我喜欢你的信息素) is a completed JJWXC novel by Yin Lu Xing of about 344,000 characters. As a good-looking Beta from a good family, Duan Jiayan sails through life — until high school, where he meets Lu Xingci: richer family, taller, better at basketball, grades a whole tier above, and, worst of all, the boy every girl Duan Jiayan likes has secretly loved for years. Duan Jiayan one-sidedly detests him, until his latest medical report arrives: he is a late-presenting Omega whose delay has left him sick — every Alpha's pheromones now trigger violent allergic pain in him. Every Alpha, except Lu Xingci. One evening self-study, feeling awful, he has to ask Lu Xingci to bite his neck and leave a temporary mark. The official pairing pitch is classic schoolyard ABO: the campus-prince Alpha × the fiery late-blooming Omega.

🌏 Background

A contemporary Chinese high school filtered through Omegaverse rules: differentiation reports, pheromone allergies, temporary marks, susceptibility periods, and lifelong marks. Lu Xingci's pheromone is a lemon-and-forest scent; Duan Jiayan's is freesia. The story runs from sophomore year through graduation and into university, where the two move in together, marry, and complete the lifelong mark.
