The protagonist of Interstellar Pet Romance is a genius who lacks emotions. He devotes himself to researching mechs, rises through the ranks to become the Empire's top mech designer, and ends up with a sweet happy ending with the Imperial Crown Prince.
Ji Xing, meanwhile, transmigrates into the book as the protagonist's younger brother, a notorious good-for-nothing Omega.
His parents despise him, his classmates ostracize him, and his only purpose is to die, prompting the protagonist to recover from his emotional deficiency and bringing the protagonist and his love interest together.
A textbook cannon-fodder character.
Ji Xing touches the mirror with his fingertips, gazing at a face so beautiful it makes people hold their breath. He smiles nonchalantly.
With a face like this... does he still have to be cannon fodder?
-
At first, people around him only thought the pretty good-for-nothing was a little too eye-catching.
But gradually, their gazes involuntarily drift to the tiny mole at the center of Ji Xing's rose-colored lips, and they can't help following those catlike eyes, shimmering like water.
Their disdainful looks quietly change. Overnight, the title of Imperial Military Academy's campus belle passes to Ji Xing, whose name used to be synonymous with "good-for-nothing."
His adoptive parents come looking for him. "Xingxing, would you like to come home for dinner tonight?"
His once-indifferent older brother, the protagonist, looks at him with restrained longing, begging Ji Xing to forgive him.
The Imperial Crown Prince sends him a marriage proposal.
Surrounded by the love of countless people, Ji Xing flashes two adorable dimples and slams the door shut, shutting them all out.
A familiar man's low, angry voice sounds in his mind. "Does he think he's worthy of proposing to you?"
Ji Xing tugs open his collar and laughs recklessly. "If you have what it takes, come out and try telling me what to do."
At an imperial gathering that night, the Emperor announces before everyone that the War God, who has been asleep for many years, has awakened.
Standing amid the adoring crowd, Ji Xing meets the War God's cold gaze. For the first time in his life, he considers the possibility of running away.
What should he do now that he's actually managed to provoke the man into waking up?

To the people of the surrounding star systems, Xiu Yuchuan is another name for an eternal guardian. He was injured protecting the Empire and fell into a deep sleep. Every Imperial citizen reveres and worships him.
But when Xiu Yuchuan wakes, he discovers that his spiritual power is trapped in the mind of a little Omega.
The little Omega is very pretty and looks docile and harmless.
Only Xiu Yuchuan, who is inside his mind, knows that beneath that sweet, beautiful exterior, he's arrogant and vindictive, and never lets a grudge go unreturned.
Xiu Yuchuan watches the little beauty climb step by step above everyone else, helping out from time to time.
But more and more people start coveting him.
Xiu Yuchuan acts without hesitation. He quickly wakes up properly and claims the little beauty as his own.
In the dim room, the pheromones of a top-tier Alpha are intoxicating and dangerous.
With a click, silver handcuffs close around the Omega's slender, pale wrist.
A kiss that allows no refusal lands on his chin. Xiu Yuchuan says, "If I lock you up like this, you won't be able to go out and flirt with anyone, right?"
Ji Xing laughs and kicks Xiu Yuchuan lightly. "You're crazy."
But he makes no attempt to struggle.
