The Crybaby Alpha Is Actually the Strongest in the Empire

Please read the content warnings before starting.

Qi Mo was hailed as the future strongest alpha of the Federation Empire from the moment he was born. But later, it was discovered that he had a congenital mental-power impairment.

And so, the strongest, who had once shaken the entire empire, became the useless nobody people talk about today.

Then one day, this prince whom everyone called useless entered the empire's new-recruit training camp.

Onlooker A: I guarantee our little prince will come running out in tears within a week.

Onlooker B: A week? You're giving him way too much credit. I'll give him three days, tops.

Onlooker C: Three days? I'll bet he'll last one!

But no matter how long they waited, they never heard that Qi Mo had deserted. Instead, they heard that he had placed first in the new-recruit assessment.

Everyone: My ears must be playing tricks on me!

Because of his timid personality, Qi Mo's older sister sent him to the training camp. On his very first day, he managed to hit a nerve with Chu Yu, the empire's strongest general.

From then on, he embarked on the long road of daily runs with a weighted pack.

But no one knew that this alpha whom everyone called useless actually had a split personality. That is, until one night, his other personality walked in on General Chu Yu during his heat.

A terrifying mental force held the empire's strongest general captive, only dissipating slowly after he had fallen asleep.

After that, once each training session was over, the stern-faced general would corner him, claiming it was for extra training.

Then he would suddenly tug open his collar and urge him, "Quick, give me a temporary mark to top me up."

Every time, Qi Mo was so frightened that he could only whimper and comply.

By contrast, the general, barely able to stand, would always comfort him gently: "There, don't cry. You're not the one who got bitten."

Blurb from the shou's point of view:

Chu Yu had always thought the alpha his friend sent over was like a little rabbit. Not only was his mental power weak, he was also very amusing, always getting red-eyed at the drop of a hat.

But he never imagined that one night this little crybaby would catch him during his heat and pin him against the wall, forcibly giving him a temporary mark.

Strangely, Qi Mo had no memory of what happened the next day, much to Chu Yu's satisfaction.

Later, to fulfill his friend's request, Chu Yu began to intensify the training. But no matter what methods he tried, the other's mental power didn't improve in the slightest.

At the new-recruit assessment, everyone thought Qi Mo would still come in last.

Instead, Chu Yu watched with his own eyes as the little crybaby unleashed his mental power and tore all the enemies in front of him to shreds.

Only then did he understand that his little crybaby really was the strongest alpha in the empire.

Everyone else present: Turns out we're all the clowns?

Afterward, his friend asked him what he thought.

General Chu Yu's response: There's nothing better than a husband I trained myself.

Content warnings:

1. Main gong, 1v1. I respect everyone's preferences, so please respect mine too.

2. The characters aren't perfect. Extreme gong/shou loyalists, stay away. There are lots of original character settings, the writing is amateurish, and there are plenty of plot holes, so don't nitpick the logic.

3. The gong has a "split personality." One side is extremely strong and practically unbeatable; the other is weak at first but grows stronger later. He's not weak in bed.

4. There are mecha battles, melodramatic tropes, and misunderstandings. If that's not your thing, run. During the training-camp arc, the shou says some hurtful things to the gong. Take note: if you can't accept that, run.

4. The point of view serves the plot, so please don't accuse me of favoring one character. I'm under a lot of pressure and can be sensitive, so please don't offer writing advice. I probably won't take it anyway. Reasonable discussion in the comments is fine; fake warnings, personal attacks, and spoilers aren't. I'll delete those comments!

5. The author has no triggers. If you come across something you don't like, just run. No need to tell me you're dropping the story.

6. The blurb has changed, but the tropes haven't!

7. There's a romance next door about an alpha woman and an omega man. It's about the gong's older sister, so feel free to bookmark it if you're interested.

Theme: As long as you put in the effort, you'll be rewarded.
