❤️ Main Relationship
际修 (Ji Xiu) × 李破星 (Li Poxing)
✨ Introduction
Zhuang A is a campus ABO that weaponizes a biology-class rumor. Li Poxing is the school's most notorious fighter — tall, brash, flirtatious, and, unknown to everyone including most of his own instincts, an Omega who has been passing as an Alpha since differentiation. Ji Xiu is his best friend: the cool, terrifyingly composed scholarship student who sits at the top of every exam and volunteers for no trouble at all. When Li Poxing's black-market suppressants fail mid-heat, it is Ji Xiu he grabs — "your pheromones smell good, I will only smell them, I promise" — and a single night of broken promises leaves one of them, three months later, eating sour plums, sleeping through class, and staring at a positive test in a public restroom.
The comedy of a pregnancy neither of them planned — "my bro is carrying my baby, what do I do, urgent, online" — runs straight into the real stakes underneath: Li Poxing's terror of being seen as an Omega, Ji Xiu's willingness to marry him before either of them has said the word love, and the two families waiting behind them, one warm, one monstrous.
🌏 Background
The novel is set in a near-future ABO campus where second gender is identity, status, and target practice all at once: Omegas who "pass" as Alphas do it for survival as much as pride, and physiology education matters more than anyone admits. Around the central pregnancy, the book braids two family histories. Li Poxing was raised by his widowed mother Ba Manman, an Omega who lost her mate young and rebuilt her life without one; her fierce protectiveness becomes the moral center of the abortion-versus-birth debate the pregnancy forces. Ji Xiu's family is the dark mirror: a father who has spent years harvesting his own son as a living medicine repository for a dying half-brother, leaving Ji Xiu armored, self-hating, and quietly certain he does not deserve ordinary happiness.
🎭 Themes & Tone
- Passing and disclosure: what it costs to live as the wrong gender, and who pays when the truth arrives
- Accidental pregnancy handled as choice, not punchline: the abortion debate is given real weight
- Found safety: two damaged boys building a family before they are ready, because the alternative is worse
- Class and family violence beneath glossy campus comedy
- Growth through responsibility — for Ji Xiu, learning he is allowed to want; for Li Poxing, learning being an Omega is not being less
Tone: laugh-out-loud banter stretched over genuine nerve; the funniest lines live closest to the sharpest fears.
👥 Main Characters
- 际修 (Ji Xiu) — the gong: top student, cold-faced, gentle-handed; a survivor of his own father's exploitation who decides, quietly and completely, to keep both Li Poxing and the baby
- 李破星 (Li Poxing) — the shou: campus king of fights and games, secretly an Omega, terrified of softness until it is too late to refuse it
- 白曼曼 (Bai Manman) — Li Poxing's mother; an Omega widow whose refusal to lose another generation anchors the book's ethics
- 陈临安 (Chen Lin'an) — the classmate who destroys a rumor with one sentence of homework
✨ Iconic Quote
- 李破星 (Li Poxing): "Bullshit! If you don't mark, just doing that can't get you pregnant!!" (放屁！不标记只那啥就不会怀孕！！) — the novel's most memed line, from its official blurb
🔥 Why It’s Popular
- A title that is a promise and a thesis: the physiology-class joke carries the entire emotional plot
- Li Poxing became a beloved shou archetype — the "useless at being soft" fighter whose bravado reads completely differently on a reread
- Ji Xiu's quietly total devotion ("marry me, I do not feel wronged at all") is fandom catnip
- The abortion debate is unusually serious for the genre and is widely cited as the book's moral spine
- The author's stated theme — attend class, listen carefully — became a running fandom joke with genuine affection behind it
