The Kid I Protected Lied and Said He Was an Omega [Transmigration]

Jiang Chuanrao transmigrates into the interstellar ABO game The War God's Three Palaces, becoming the pitiful victim who threw himself into a river after the villainous war god Xie Chen took liberties with him.

System: Your mission is to challenge Xie Chen one-on-one.

According to the game's rules, players have to follow their character's scripted storyline and cannot skip ahead.

System: You have to endure humiliation and bullying, and love your unrequited crush with all your heart.

Jiang Chuanrao: Face-slapping cannon fodder, kick the scumbag to the curb, and rescue the Omega boy who was abused by the scum Alpha Xie Chen.

Whenever this happens, the Omega boy clutches his lapel, his cheeks red as he lowers his head. "Thanks, Brother Chuan."

Jiang Chuanrao grins. "Don't worry, I'll protect you. That idiot Xie Chen wouldn't dare bully you."

But later, Jiang Chuanrao learns that The War God's Three Palaces is a fan game about "Xie Chen x all of Xie Chen's secret identities."

Xie Chen is the handsome, tragic Alpha protagonist of a hugely popular novel with no romance.

The boy isn't an Omega at all. He's a fake identity that the Alpha protagonist Xie Chen uses when traveling.

Jiang Chuanrao is so furious he can't speak.

[Imperial Sealed File, No. X]

Emperor Xie Chen of the Empire died in a power struggle in his previous life, then was reborn. Knowing that currents of intrigue ran beneath the court's calm surface, he resolves to put himself in danger and infiltrate a certain lord's territory to investigate.

But Xie Chen never expected that, after spending months hiding in the slums, Jiang Chuanrao would appear before him and become the greatest variable in his life.

That day, warm sunlight poured down and fell upon Jiang Chuanrao's outstretched palm. Xie Chen had spent both his lives in darkness. Unaccustomed to such light, he had no idea who Jiang Chuanrao mistook him for.

"Don't worry, I'll protect you. That idiot Xie Chen won't dare bully you anymore."

In that instant, the cruel and heartless emperor began to yearn for love.

[Reading Guide]

1. In the final scene of the blurb, the uke thinks the seme is Ling Qian. Ling Qian is the Omega who was abused by Xie Chen in the fan game, but is actually one of the seme's secret identities. Xie Chen x Jiang Chuanrao, one-on-one.

2. The first half is a sweet face-slapping story about putting scumbags in their place. The second half touches lightly on political intrigue, but the main plot is still the two falling in love.
