My Goal Is to Marry a Wealthy Alpha

Bai Xingshu was a post-apocalyptic powerhouse. Just before he died, a System showed up and told him he could be resurrected in a peaceful world, as long as he fulfilled the original owner's wish. A peaceful world! Bai Xingshu, who had never known peace, was tempted. After he transmigrated, Bai Xingshu learned that the original owner's goal was to marry into a wealthy family as an alpha. His mouth twitched. Fine, whatever. So how was he supposed to marry some powerful alpha noble? After thinking it over seriously, Bai Xingshu came up with an answer: if he was impressive enough, then some powerful guy would naturally fall for him. System: Heh. So, on the first day of school, Bai Xingshu beat every student in the combat trials and took first place in the entire academy. Standing at the highest spot on the awards podium, Bai Xingshu panted after the intense exercise, his cheeks flushed. His damp hair clung to his face, and sweat seeped into his collar. His sweat-soaked clothes clung to his body, making it impossible to look away. After taking the trophy and catching his breath, Bai Xingshu noticed the unnaturally hushed awards ceremony. He looked up and saw everyone avoiding his gaze. Bai Xingshu: “...” Bai Xingshu: System, did I go too hard and get the opposite of what I wanted? System: ...No, you did very well. Bai Xingshu: ? Sheng Yunchen, the Crown Prince of the Empire, was studying under an assumed name at the Capital Star Military Academy. He was delighted to find that his new roommate was a beauty. Then he saw that roommate unleash his full power, and Sheng Yunchen was deeply moved. This was the future talent of the Empire! So Sheng Yunchen asked his roommate, “What’s your dream?” His roommate, Bai Xingshu, answered with ringing conviction: “I want to marry a wealthy alpha!” Sheng Yunchen: “...” He watched his roommate engage in a love-hate rivalry with the academy’s rookie champion, and saw the once-arrogant young champion gradually start avoiding Bai Xingshu’s eyes. His roommate said, “He’s avoiding me. I guess he really hates me.” Sheng Yunchen: “...” Next, Sheng Yunchen watched his roommate grow closer to the aloof professor from another department. The young professor looked as though he was wrestling with his conscience. His roommate said, “The professor told me not to call him teacher. Sigh, I guess he doesn’t want me anymore.” Sheng Yunchen: “...” Later, he saw his roommate coaching a top-tier star in a mecha combat scene. The star’s eyes followed Bai Xingshu around, as if Bai Xingshu were the celebrity. His roommate said, “The rumors have been cleared up. I’m just the action choreographer.” Sheng Yunchen: “...” Bai Xingshu sighed. “Marrying into a rich family is so hard.” Sheng Yunchen, exasperated by his roommate’s cluelessness, sneered. “Then I’ll teach you.” He pointed to the legendary iron-walled straight man, the hardest young general in the entire galaxy to pursue. “He should be easy.” Bai Xingshu: “OK!” Two months later, the young general showed up outside the dormitory holding flowers. Bai Xingshu: “I think I actually have a chance with this one!!” Sheng Yunchen watched his roommate sprint down the stairs. Jealousy flared! In the end, Bai Xingshu stared at the lineup of men vying for him and fell into deep thought. Bai Xingshu: See, System? I told you all I had to do was be impressive enough!

I Made the Entire Galaxy Wear a Pain Mask Ji Ziwen loves singing, but is completely tone-deaf, so he had to settle for becoming a composer. By chance, he transmigrates to the interstellar era and becomes a mermaid. Heaven knows how much he has always dreamed of having a mermaid's voice. With tears streaming down his face, Ji Ziwen immediately records a song and uploads it to the Star Network. The Star Network explodes that very day. The well-traveled people of the galaxy have never heard a song this awful! Not one species in the entire galaxy can last a minute listening to it. They all pass out. Seeing the song's title, The Mermaid's Peerless, Heavenly Song: Heal Your Soul, the people of the galaxy fly into a rage! Does he have any idea how precious a mermaid's song is? It's the only medicine that can cure the galaxy's people of mental agitation, and its effects weaken with each listen. As the mermaid species faces extinction, every mermaid song is a galactic treasure, and no one is allowed to profane it! People on the Star Network furiously attack this audacious composer for using the mermaid name as a gimmick. Then one person suffering from severe mental agitation wakes up to find that their splitting headache has eased. Completely bewildered, they post about it online. Could this possibly, maybe, actually be a mermaid song? The people of the galaxy are even more outraged, convinced this person is in cahoots with the composer. How dare they tell such an easily debunked lie? Countless people sneer and pull out their mental scanners, watching in disbelief as their own mental agitation readings drop by one point. The people of the galaxy: “...” Ji Ziwen wakes up from a wonderful nap and opens the Star Network. At a glance, he sees that he's made it to the top of the trending list, where the comments are all praising him to the skies. Ji Ziwen is moved to tears. He did it! His singing has finally been recognized by everyone! Ji Ziwen posts a message from his account: People in my tribe used to say my singing was awful, and after that I could never bring myself to sing again. This is my first song since being reborn, and I'm so happy that everyone in the galaxy likes it. I finally have the courage to keep singing. To thank everyone for your support, I've decided to put on a live online concert! At that moment, the entire Star Network falls silent for three seconds. What do you do when you meet a glass-hearted little mermaid who'll stop singing if anyone tells the truth? You can only humor him... From that day on, everyone in the galaxy wears a pain mask. Theme: In the end, you can only rely on yourself.
