After Mislabeling the Imperial Princess Omega

1.

"Hide me for a few days, and I'll give you a lifetime of wealth and glory."

In the corrosive rain of the contamination zone, a mysterious young lady pointed a gun at Lu Xiao, making demands and issuing threats and bribes as if she expected unquestioning obedience.

On a whim, Lu Xiao took her home.

The young lady was impossibly demanding, and in three days she had eaten Lu Xiao out of house and home.

So broke she could barely afford food, Lu Xiao snatched the young lady's coat and left, trading it on the black market for supplies.

When the young lady went into heat, she tossed aside the suppressant Lu Xiao had gone to so much trouble to buy. "I can't use this cheap stuff!"

As her pheromones grew stronger, Lu Xiao watched coldly, until the young lady grabbed the hem of her clothes. "A temporary mark... You'd better not try anything, or I'll kill you."

Lu Xiao didn't indulge her in the slightest. "I'll kill you right now."

The next morning, Lu Xiao discovered she had permanently marked the princess of the Northern Empire, who had come to marry for an alliance.

Shen Mingzhu became a joke known throughout the country after her political marriage brought her a disabled military officer.

Worse still, the prosthetic limb's connector had been found to contain an unauthorized module, raising the possibility that the officer was a spy.

Shen Mingzhu personally took charge of the interrogation.

After a full dose of truth serum, Lu Xiao's honesty was downright unbearable.

"I want to sleep with you. Your skin is so soft and delicate. You'd look even better all flushed from being manhandled."

Shen Mingzhu angrily pinned her against the wall. "You've got some nerve. I'll try you out first. Stand still and don't shake."

After helping someone, Lu Xiao had ended up a prisoner, and she was furious.

She'd barely gotten a taste of wealth and glory, and aside from being pretty and comfortable to hold, her spouse had not a single redeeming quality.

The Northern Empire's winters were long and bitterly cold, and after being sent to the border, she was left with nothing but the bitter wind for company every day. Her kind and thoughtful subordinate urged her to run. She listened.

When she woke up, Shen Mingzhu was pointing a gun at her head, her dark gaze more ominous than the barrel.

"Where do you think you're going, my Alpha... and who are you loyal to?"

Lu Xiao was so angry she laughed.

All she wanted was to live a comfortable life. What had she done to deserve this?
