A Beta, Yet Everyone’s Beloved

Xun Zhou transmigrated into an interstellar ABO world.

The good news: He was a beta unaffected by pheromones. While alphas and omegas had their minds clouded by pheromones and acted out one romantic drama after another, he could stay blissfully invisible and watch from the sidelines.

The bad news: People kept giving the background character a bigger role.

The marshal's son declared Xun Zhou his lifelong rival. The crown prince announced that Xun Zhou was the only young man he admired. And the empire's only omega prince publicly proclaimed that Xun Zhou was his boyfriend, and if he wasn't now, he would be someday.

Xun Zhou: This makes no sense. I'm just a beta?

Besides, what could be more fun than mechs?

Thus spoke Xun Zhou, who worked himself to the bone and became the only beta top student in the history of the Royal Military Academy.

But the romance-obsessed people in this world were all deranged, with incredibly bizarre ways of thinking.

The marshal's son was a childish brat who firmly believed that if you liked someone, you should make trouble for them. Xun Zhou kicked him aside.

Xun Zhou: You're sick.

The crown prince was a control freak who followed the iron rule that if you liked someone, you should destroy all their connections to the outside world. Xun Zhou shot him.

Xun Zhou: You're sick too.

Then there was the beta who deliberately hurt himself in front of Xun Zhou to win his sympathy, and omegas 1, 2, 3, and 4... who chose to murder their husbands because they admired him.

Xun Zhou: ...Can't any of you act normal?

Compared to these oddballs obsessed with romance, the prince, who had no interest in developing any special relationship with Xun Zhou and only used him as a shield, was practically a breath of fresh air.

The prince, who was secretly plotting to drag Xun Zhou into helping him overthrow the empire, somehow went from contract boyfriend to the real thing: ...Well... should I thank my rivals for bringing us together?

Years later, people described Xun Zhou this way: In that dark age, he was the one who planted the seeds of resistance and freedom in everyone's hearts. Thanks to him, heroes gained a recognizable face, and the oppressed gained someone they could call by name. This was the man who ended the old empire and laid the foundations of a new order.

Faced with all that praise, Xun Zhou simply said, "Honestly, at first all I wanted was to be a quiet, unremarkable background character. But there were just too many crazed fans around me."

At his side, his partner, the former omega prince, last emperor of the old empire, secret biggest lunatic, and Xun Zhou's most devoted fan, Joyce, only smiled and said nothing.
