The Inverted Rose

Han Ye is the Empire's most perfect Omega creation.

Born into nobility, blessed with a superhuman intellect, and carrying the cool scent of "pine trees after snowfall."

Everyone says he will marry the Crown Prince and become the most treasured rose in a greenhouse.

No one knows that this rose's thorns have long been steeped in poison.

Lin Jiaojiao is the military's sharpest Alpha blade.

Born a commoner, unmatched in combat, and carrying the fierce scent of "gunpowder and rust."

She shattered every prejudice with her fists. Her only rule: stay as far away from the powerful as possible.

Until, during a military exercise, she caught Han Ye as he fell from the viewing platform.

The instant their eyes met, an inhibitor was injected into his neck.

He thanked her calmly, but behind his eyes lay a scheme that could topple the Empire.

She remained expressionless, already gripping the blade that would cut through her shackles.

"We can get married, but it's only a deal."

"I'll clear your path through the military. You shield me from my family's control."

A royal marriage between two people with ulterior motives bound together two souls who could not have been more different.

He plotted in the shadows of the political world, while she fought bloodily on the front lines.

Everyone waited for this mismatched AO couple to turn against each other.

Until the night of the coup...

In front of millions, Han Ye deliberately induced his heat, sweeping through the enemy forces with his S-rank pheromones as a weapon.

Amid a hail of bullets, Lin Jiaojiao turned back and used her mecha to build a wall of flesh and blood around him.

When the smoke cleared, he tore off the Omega shackles bestowed by the royal family and stepped into parliament.

When the blood had dried, she rejected the marshal's baton offered by the military and took her place behind him.

A reporter asked about their marriage, which defied tradition.

Han Ye smiled at the camera. "My Alpha is waiting for me to come home."

Lin Jiaojiao kissed the bite mark on the back of his neck in front of everyone. "Mm. Let's go home."
