A ruthless gong who stops at nothing to get what he wants x a shou who is occasionally a little wicked
Content warnings:
1. The gong is a prince from beginning to end. The plot takes precedence over romance, and this is an ensemble story.
2. The gong goes to war at the age of eight, which is extremely unrealistic, but the author wanted to indulge in a bit of Mary Sue wish fulfillment.
3. Mpreg. The first child is miscarried.
4. The setting is fictional. All dynasties, names, places, medicines, customs, and so on are made up by the author.
5. [Revised] means typos have been fixed. [Major revision] means some plot points have been changed.
If you drop the story, you don't have to tell me. Maybe we'll meet again in the world of martial arts, or maybe we won't.
Next upcoming story: On How to Tame an Alpha in Heat
People say all Alphas are beasts in fine clothes. The more restrained and gentle they seem on the surface, the more untamed and wild they are inside. They have a powerful desire to control and possess their Omegas... Whenever Lu Yining hears this, he scoffs.
He and Ke Ran were engaged as children and grew up together. They've lived in the same house for nearly twenty years, and their compatibility is an astonishing 99.8%. They practically have every advantage imaginable, yet Ke Ran has never shown any sign of being crazy or possessive toward him. So Lu Yining thinks those claims are just sweeping generalizations.
Until one perfectly ordinary night, he has a perfectly ordinary chat with Ke Ran, and somehow says something that triggers Ke Ran's heat early.
Lu Yining is skeptical. "? He's so gentle with me that I wonder if he's asexual. How could I possibly set him off?"
Doctor: "He's perfectly healthy. He's just strong."
Lu Yining still doesn't believe it. "You're saying all that restraint and gentleness is an act? No way. Absolutely not!"
Doctor: "It really is an act. You don't need to see him through rose-colored glasses. He's just a strong Alpha."
Lu Yining: "You're the one who's a strong Alpha! Ke Ran is the gentlest Alpha in the world!"
Doctor: "...Medicine has advanced so much. How come we still can't cure lovesickness?!"
Lu Yining complains to a friend about what the doctor said, sounding rather troubled. "It'd be nice if Ke Ran ever really got possessive and controlling toward me. Sigh."
His friend looks at Lu Yining, who is decked out from head to toe in things Ke Ran bought for him, and struggles to find the words. "He looks after you like you're his son every day. He practically wants to keep you on a leash like a dog, and watches you like you're the apple of his eye. And you think he doesn't want to control or possess you?"
Lu Yining: "Oh, don't put it so harshly. I want the kind of possessiveness and control an Alpha feels toward an Omega, not the way you treat your son."
Friend: "But have you ever considered that if you weren't his Omega, he wouldn't look after you like his son?"
Lu Yining thinks it over, decides that makes sense, and happily asks, "So Ke Ran still likes me?"
His friend looks at him like a dim-witted rich kid. "...As long as you're happy."
Theme: Using your wits to survive in a palace full of intrigue
Advance copy of the next book "On How to Subdue Alpha in the Susceptible Period" Some people say that Alphas are beasts in disguise. The more restrained and gentle they are on the surface, the more crazy and unruly they are underneath. They have a strong desire to control and possess their Omegas... Lu Yining sneers every time he hears such words. He and Ke Ran had been engaged since they were young. They grew up together as childhood sweethearts and lived in the same house for almost twenty years. The matching degree was as high as 99.8%. The buffs were almost full. He had never seen Ke Ran show madness or possessiveness towards him, so he thought the above remarks were pure nonsense. Until one ordinary night, he and Ke Ran chatted for a while, and he didn't know what the wrong sentence was, and directly stimulated Ke Ran's susceptible period earlier. Lu Yining expressed doubts about this: "? He is so gentle to me that I suspect he is cold. Can I stimulate him??" Doctor: "He's healthy, he's just strong." Lu Yining still didn't believe it: "You said that his restraint and gentleness are all fake? Impossible, absolutely impossible!" Doctor: "He's really pretending. You don't need a filter, he's just a stoner." Lu Yining: "You are the stoner! Ke Ran is the gentlest Alpha in the world!" Doctor: "... Now that medical science is so advanced, why can't we still cure love brain?!" Lu Yining complained to her friends about the doctor's words, and her words were quite distressing: "It would be great if Ke Ran really becomes possessive and controlling over me." The friend looked at Lu Yining, who was taken care of by Ke Ran from head to toe, and was speechless: "He raises you like a son every day. He wants to tie you up like a dog and looks at you as if you are eyeballs. He still has no desire to control or possess you?" Lu Yining: "Hey, don't be so harsh. What I want is the possession and control that Alpha has over Omega, not being a son." Friend: "But have you ever thought that if you were not his Omega, he would never raise you like a son." Lu Yining thought for a moment and felt that it made sense, so he happily said: "So Ke Ran still likes me?" His friends looked at him like the silly son of a landlord: "... Just be happy."
Hahahahahaha these foreign names made me laugh so hard
I'm back. Madam, do you still remember me? I was scrolling through the comments today and found out that you replied to me five months ago... Let me explain, I was busy with my studies at that time, and I just started to catch up on the previous plot today, so can you forgive me?
Where can I watch the full version of "My Wife Shows a Clear Way" QAQ
The plot is quite rich, but the characters are not three-dimensional.
