A cold to everyone else, devoted and crazed loyal-dog pursuer x a max-level, beautiful, charming, and powerful battle god
Blurb:
01
Ning Yiqing woke from the chaos and somehow found himself in the middle of some kind of competition.
His opponent looked at him with disdain and mockery, and the control panel in front of him was complicated and unfamiliar.
After a long silence, he pressed the public-address button. "...How do you use this thing?"
02
The Starship Military Academy had a new joke.
The famously beautiful but stupid Omega from the Command College was both dumb and incompetent. He had a face uncannily similar to that of Ning Yiqing, the legendary battle god from three hundred years ago, but his grades were always at the bottom of every class. This time, he outdid himself.
After all, the competition had invited Gu Yanzhi, the Federation's top general, to attend. Every cadet was giving it their all, hoping to impress him and lay the foundation for a brilliant career!
And then... his very first question was how to use the starship control panel, humiliating the Command College.
The dean's face darkened like the bottom of a pot, while Gu Yanzhi said nothing, his expression unreadable.
Everyone watched as the Omega fumbled around on the control panel, then cried, "Oh, there it is."
...Then he activated the self-destruct sequence and blew up the starship simulator.
Gu Yanzhi himself had to pull him out of the wreckage.
03
The dean flew into a rage. "What on earth were you thinking?!"
Newly reborn, Ning Yiqing gazed back innocently with clear eyes. "How was I supposed to know technology had advanced this far in the last three hundred years...?"
Who gave you permission to replace the old start button with a self-destruct device?
Gu Yanzhi cut off the lecture. In front of everyone, he clamped a hand around the slender wrist of the beautiful Omega, dragged him out of the competition arena, and hauled him all the way to a secluded, empty stairwell.
04
No one knew what happened in the stairwell. All anyone knew was that the very next day, the Omega who didn't even know where the starship's start button was had been invited aboard the Federation's top general's Silver Blade and was treated like an honored guest from then on.
Some people guessed he'd shamelessly seduced Gu Yanzhi with his body and looks, making the usually cold and ruthless top general lose all sense and forget every Federation regulation!
And the rumors about what had happened in the stairwell grew more and more suggestive and scandalous.
But no one could have imagined that in that dark, cramped space, Gu Yanzhi had knelt on one knee and reverently kissed Ning Yiqing from his fingertips to the red marks his own grip had left behind, murmuring, "You've finally... come back."
Ning Yiqing sighed, bent down, and lifted his chin. He studied that deep, handsome face for a long time, his expression complicated, before saying, "It's been three hundred years, Yanzhi. How are you still not dead?"
05.
The slender, sharp Omega donned the commander's uniform and strode across a ground strewn with blood and thorns. The enemy lay dead in heaps, the space pirates had pledged their loyalty, and he had established true peace among every species in the known universe. Now he was carrying the Federation's flame and civilization, planting its flag farther and deeper into the cosmos.
Only then did the Federation learn that the god who had sacrificed himself and fallen three hundred years ago had long since returned to his throne, reborn through the blood sacrifice of his beloved, and continued his legend.
