Military academy cadet Alpha x tactical instructor Omega, a fake relationship turns real

Zhang Tingyun, the youngest and most promising staff officer in the military, was forced to take leave after an accident.

During his leave, the military assigned him a temporary position: teaching tactics to the Central Military Academy's command class.

He thought he would be meeting a group of energetic, diligent students, but on his very first day of class, he encountered someone who left him at a loss.

And events seemed to be slipping further and further out of his control...

The command class, supposedly a cradle for future commanders, was utterly disorganized and undisciplined, giving Zhang Tingyun a headache. Meanwhile, the academy's leaders refused to say a word about the missing cadets.

What alarmed Zhang Tingyun even more was that he seemed to have attracted the attention of that arrogant man.

Yang Shizong had his eye on the new instructor at the academy.

The young staff officer, sent over from the General Staff Department, was distant and aloof. He barely posted anything on social media and followed the same routine every day, as if work were the only thing in his life.

What's more, he seemed to know nothing about the General Staff Department's past.

Seven years ago, the General Staff Department made a decision that wasn't exactly right, and that decision set Yang Shizong on a path of no return.

Later, two staff officers died suddenly, the former chief of staff resigned and fled, and Yang Shizong and the current chief of staff managed to maintain a strained pretense of civility by staying out of each other's way.

But now the General Staff Department had shattered the illusion first, placing someone by Yang Shizong's side.

How could Yang Shizong let prey come to him and get away? He drew closer to Zhang Tingyun step by step, quietly weaving a web of attachment around the far too softhearted staff officer.

Until one day, Yang Shizong received a message from Zhang Tingyun, sent of his own accord...

Soldiers on patrol passed outside.

A broken sob echoed from the end of the corridor.

Yang Shizong cradled Zhang Tingyun's face and wiped away the tears brought on by his heat.

He murmured:

"My dear instructor, did you really think I, an Alpha, would carry suppressants meant for Omegas?"

I resent the General Staff Department's decision for throwing me into a boundless hell, yet amid all the lies, I fell in love with you, the one who came from the General Staff, with the truest part of myself.
