[Alpha-Omega + interstellar mecha + two powerful leads growing together + Marriage Before Love]
Sikong Jun is the youngest lieutenant general in the empire, but he has one fatal weakness: his pheromones overload. If he loses control, they could damage his mecha. During a battle, his pheromones went haywire and destroyed the nervous system of White Tiger, his mecha. Both White Tiger and Sikong Jun were forced off the front lines and sent back to White Horse Star to recuperate.
On the doctor's advice, the marshal arranged a marriage for Sikong Jun. As it happened, his bride was the Third Prince, who was posing as a painter under a secret identity.
The Third Prince had been well protected by his family since childhood, but he harbored a great ambition, one that had nothing to do with the life he was living.
