Endless Heat

[Ongoing danmei quick transmigration novel: Beta Takes Cosplay Commissions in an ABO World. Check out the author's page! The blurb is below.]

Alliance General Pei Ziqian is cold and ruthless, a terrifying alpha who doesn't even need an omega during his rut.

He married Ru Muyang, the object of every alpha in the Alliance's love and fear, only to squander this treasure by neglecting him and throwing himself into the military. He treated Ru Muyang like a vase, putting him on display.

But what they didn't know was that behind closed doors, Pei Ziqian would kneel at Ru Muyang's feet and kiss his fingers, yearning for the mercy of his god.

-

Pei Ziqian knows he was born lowly, a child raised in a garbage dump.

At sixteen, he unexpectedly presented as an alpha and was taken for pheromone matching and a rank assessment. His body had been altered with drugs, leaving him with an utterly average rank, so he didn't expect his life to change in the slightest.

Who knew that the next day, someone calling himself Ru Muyang would smile, hold out his hand, and say, "Come with me?"

The man's skin was fair, and the clothes he wore looked luxurious and expensive, unlike anything Pei Ziqian had ever seen in his life.

But the most striking thing about him was his appearance. He looked like... an angel.

Pei Ziqian forgot everything. All he knew was to reach out and let the other man pull him to his feet.

-

Ru Muyang dressed Pei Ziqian in the most splendid clothes, hired the best nutritionist for him, and personally taught him etiquette before presenting him to the world.

Pei Ziqian looked like a little prince, but he knew that beneath those splendid clothes, his heart remained timid and sorrowful.

Especially after he realized that he had fallen in love with Ru Muyang.

From then on, anxiety, insecurity, and fear became the prevailing notes of his life.

Pei Ziqian seemed to be an incompletely developed alpha. Even after reaching adulthood at eighteen, he still hadn't experienced a rut.

Then, at twenty-seven, after becoming one of the Federation's generals, he returned home during his leave and caught the scent of Ru Muyang's pheromones.

From then on, his rut spiraled out of control.

Ru Muyang held out his hand once more and asked, "Would you be willing to become my one and only solace?"

"Of course." Pei Ziqian dropped to one knee and kissed the other's fingers, saying reverently, "My one and only king."

Blurb:

Xu Mingzhou is the most unremarkable of the betas, who make up 75 percent of the interstellar empire's population.

At the First Interstellar Military Academy, his long hair hides his face, and he seems thin and quiet.

No one knows that outside the academy, he is a cosplayer who fulfills countless alphas' and omegas' dreams of bringing their fictional husbands to life.

He can be a gentle, reserved high-ranking omega raised in a White Tower, skilled at illustration and such a good cook that he can cure his beloved (one-sided love interest) of anorexia.

He can also be a gentle, gentlemanly, blond knight who uses his sword to protect his beloved (one-sided love interest) at all costs.

He can even race down the track, overtaking others on a dangerous but stylish turn, then smile on the podium as he places his medal around his beloved's (one-sided love interest's) neck.

Sometimes he plays a sickly, brooding painter, whose art depicts a world both ugly and dazzling. After giving his painting to his beloved (one-sided love interest), he disappears forever.

So he studied kendo, illustration, cooking, martial arts, racing, flower arranging...

And picked up certificates in all those skills along the way.

His classmates at the First Interstellar Military Academy thought Xu Mingzhou was just Xu Mingzhou. Later, they discovered that he could also be...

The first-place winner of the interstellar oil painting competition, a standout newcomer in kendo tournaments, a bestselling novelist, and a two-time consecutive racing champion...

His classmates: "Huh? Is there anything you can't do?"

Xu Mingzhou: "I'm just one of the completely ordinary betas who make up 75 percent of the population."

His classmates: "Please shut up! We're starting to forget what 'ordinary' even means!"
