Some flashback where we see Cheng and Tianxin knew each other for so long. Tianxin's Dad wants an alpha heir and had a few children with various partners. Turns out Tianxin who was weakest and cast aside was the only alpha. So family brings him back to be heir but drugs him to increase his pheromones. This drug causes his pheromone disorder and loss of taste. Cheng didn't know about that but overheard Tianxin has no taste, so what is he doing creating delicious desserts for him then. Both are being used and manipulated by Tianxin family and both think the other abandoned them in the past probably by design of the family so they could create an arranged marriage for political purpose. Really feel sorry for the couple. Now the family even wants Cheng to have Tianxin's child because it's likely to be an alpha, just to improve the family power dynamic. Cheng is under contract and threatened by the witch. He doesn't want to break contract because this is his only chance to be with Tianxin again. This is a more anxious stressful story and I hope for a happy ending.
