Pei Qingxu, the Federation's top Alpha, hates Omegas who curry favor with the powerful.
He rejects pheromones, despises mental bonds, and drinks suppressants like water.
Until the day his suppressants stop working completely and his family drags him to the Shen family estate.
There he meets Shen Qingyan, the ailing young master of the Shen family who, according to rumor, has been ill for years and never leaves the house.
Pale and frail: that is Pei Qingxu's first impression of him.
After the two enter a contract bond, Pei Qingxu insists at first that they're only together because they each have something to gain. Yet he keeps track of how many times Shen Qingyan takes his medicine each day, remembers when he gets up and goes to bed, and gets nervous for ages whenever he furrows his brow.
By the time he realizes what's happened, he's already fallen completely.
"Qingqing, I don't want us to be bound by a contract." He corners him against the wall, his voice hoarse. "I want to be with you forever."
The moment he gets the title of boyfriend, he turns around and starts bragging to the whole world:
"Allow me to introduce myself. I'm his dog... no, wait, I'm his Alpha."
"My boyfriend is frail. Keep your voices down and walk softly. Don't scare him."
Everyone wonders what this sickly Omega is capable of.
Then they see the footage coming from the battlefield.
The Zerg swarm in like a tidal wave. Standing amid the smoke is Shen Qingyan, the one who's supposed to be "frail."
His robes whip in the wind, and Zerg corpses pile up at his feet. With a wave of his hand, countless mechs descend from the sky. Amidst the roar of cannon fire, the Zerg are routed. One man holds off an entire army.
Standing atop the corpses, he looks relaxed as he brushes back wind-tousled hair and glances over his shoulder.
This is the frail man you were talking about?
