[Blurb below ↓]

When Shen Yuan was four, someone transmigrated into his body.

Fortunately, after the transmigrator was swiftly dealt with by a local sorcerer, Shen Yuan, the original owner of the body, absorbed the transmigrator's rather useless martial prowess and a jumble of memories from various missions.

In the other soul's memories, he had once been a prince raised outside the palace. Later, the regent seized all the power. In order to deal with him, the ministers brought the prince back and enthroned him as a puppet emperor. He spent his whole life confined to the palace, accomplishing nothing, while the ministers toyed with the realm as they pleased. Yet he shouldered all the blame, becoming the "mediocre emperor" blamed in the history books as the "beginning of a troubled age."

But what does any of that have to do with a young scholar who just wants to pass the preliminary civil service exam and spare his family from taxes?

Who would have thought that the weepy wandering soul he picked up on his way to the capital for the exams would turn out to be the very regent who would one day seize the throne?

That's not even the point. The point is that this regent is also his betrothed, his "wife" promised to him when they were babies!

After his soul returned to his body, the regent, Mo Zhongyue, regained his memories.

The tall man said in a chilly voice, "Your Majesty, do you dislike me?"

Emperor Qiming, Shen Yuan, smiled as he scolded him. "Liar!"

The man lowered his head, tears gathering in his eyes. "But I only wanted to repay you for saving my life back then!"

Shen Yuan looked up, the corners of his lips lifting. Is this how you repay a debt, by holding me like that?! Mo Zhongyue, you have some nerve!

The mediocre emperor and treacherous minister who would be cursed by later generations for a thousand years end up together.

The wheel of history has gone off course...

A weepy, adorably unexpected top with explosive martial prowess x a kind, foxlike bottom who is not actually easy to bully

A lighthearted, cute, sweet romance. Come and enjoy!

A note before reading and content warnings:

1. This is an alternate-history setting, in the same world as my other works, including Acting Skills, but in a different historical period. The story therefore includes gods, spirits, and monsters, as well as a setting where men can marry men.

2. The top is not soft and adorable, and the contrast between his earlier and later selves is huge. The bottom is no helpless scholar who can't fight, either.

3. Lastly, let me shout this out loud: I'm a loving author! This is a sweet romance!!! Trust me!!!!!

Title: Mr. Movie Star Can't Possibly Be an ALPHA

Tags: [Fantasy danmei] [ABO] [Bottom's POV]

To pay for his father's medical treatment, Shi Chang takes on roles like crazy to make money. He doesn't care when people mock him as a money-grubber.

Hounded by scandals and branded the "worst Omega," he is nearly disfigured when a stalker fan splashes acid on him.

After two years away recovering, his career has completely tanked.

At last, he lands a gig, only to serve as Jiang Shu's foil on a reality show they are appearing on together.

Jiang Shu made his debut as a child star, won Best Supporting Actor at sixteen, and became a leading actor at eighteen.

Even before his secondary gender manifested, his cute, soft image had made him everyone's ideal Omega.

But then he manifested as an Alpha. After completing his military service and returning to the entertainment industry, he faces countless fans who had been hoping for their "Baby Shu". Jiang Shu forces a smile. "That's right, that's right, I'm an Omega!"

The worst Omega and the most handsome Omega appear on the same reality show!

Everyone waits for the drama, eager to see Jiang Shu crush Shi Chang into the dirt.

But then, on camera 1: Jiang Shu picks up a heavy suitcase and hands it to Shi Chang. "Here, hold this. Don't lose it!"

Shi Chang: "Hey, kid, you're pretty bossy. I'll carry it for you, but it'll cost extra..."

On camera 2: Jiang Shu is standing by the river, lost in thought. Shi Chang bounds across and laughs. "What's the matter, chicken? Want your big brother to carry you across?"

Jiang Shu narrows his eyes and smiles sweetly. "Sure."

On camera 3: Jiang Shu finally loses patience and drags Shi Chang into a camera blind spot... A little later, he emerges with reddened eyes...

Audience: Fight! Fight!

In reality, off camera...

Jiang Shu pins Shi Chang against the wall, wipes the moisture from his lips with a finger, and asks in a low voice, "Why are you pretending not to know me, Brother Shi? Hmm?"

Shi Chang bristles. What's with this overwhelming Alpha pheromone?
