When the Lin family can’t repay ten million dollars to the Golden Dragon Gang, they offer the only thing they have left: their Omega son, to bear an heir for Macau’s most ruthless triad. But he runs. Lin Yingming, the brother sent in his place, has one problem: he’s an Alpha. Now he must survive the Long Manor under his brother’s name, winning over the household one bowl of dumpling soup at a time. Long Tiangang, heir to the Golden Dragon empire, has no use for warmth or romance. With his first wife dying and an underworld war looming, he needs an heir, and he knows a liar when he sees one. Yet the man who trusts no one begins finishing every bowl Yingming sets in front of him. Meanwhile, something is wrong inside the Long Manor, and Yingming isn’t the only one hiding the truth. Yingming must decide how much he’s willing to risk for the family he came to save, and for the man who was never supposed to matter.
