I Became a Beta and Went God-Tier

An ABO novel where alphas rule, omegas are prized, and betas are ordinary and oppressed. Chen Zhi transmigrates into the role of Chen Zhi, the great villain, who will eventually differentiate into a formidable alpha. Before the protagonist gong appears, he torments the protagonist shou, Lan Shuiying, physically and mentally. Lan Shuiying turns evil and turns Chen Zhi's family, friends, and suitors against him, even going after the villain's mecha. Before differentiating, Chen Zhi starts acting wild ahead of schedule. Smoking, drinking, fighting, getting tattoos, and pursuing the protagonist shou despite knowing the plot. There are thousands of victims. Chen Zhi grins. "What can I say? I've got a 99.9% chance of being an alpha." But then the plot goes completely off the rails, and Chen Zhi differentiates into a beta. The protagonist shou he'd nearly won runs off a year early with the protagonist gong, whose pheromones are a 100% match. Everyone thinks Chen Zhi has offended too many people and is doomed. He'll die in some corner, or, if he's lucky, become an alpha's plaything. And yet-- * "Congratulations to Chen Zhi, first-year student at Imperial Military Academy, on winning Marshal Lan Yin's recognition and inheriting the 'God of War' mecha." "Congratulations to Chen Zhi, first-year student at Imperial Military Academy, on taking first place in the academy's ability exam." "Congratulations to Chen Zhi, first-year student at Imperial Military Academy, on receiving confessions from his childhood friend, sworn rival, the God of War, the Insect King..." * The alphas watch Chen Zhi thrive in a crowd. "That guy's a beta, right? Why do omegas keep falling for him? It's so damn annoying." "Yeah." An unknown person crushes a drink bottle, eyes fixed on Chen Zhi's neck. "He's not giving alphas a chance." "????" Bro, wake up. That's the great villain! * Chen Zhi differentiates into a beta, and everyone, including Chen Zhi himself, thinks it's a bad thing. Because Chen Zhi was born a noble and is a beta, he'll be forever shut out of the heart of the Empire's power. But in the end, everyone discovers-- Chen Zhi is the world's flame, and everyone else is a moth drawn to it. He doesn't need to please anyone. He was born the center of attention, the center of the world. And being a beta, impervious to blades and bullets and unaffected by alphas or omegas, is the best gift fate could have given him. P.S. 1. A gorgeous, powerful, feel-good, universally adored shou. If you love the protagonist or the shou, dive right in. 2. Everyone has a one-sided crush on him, and the gong's arrow is huge. He's currently using a secret identity. The gong is not Lan, and there are no side couples. 3. There are bizarre developments such as omegas turning into alphas and alphas turning into omegas. Zhi-ge is a beta throughout. The worldbuilding includes lots of headcanons. I'm currently working on this one, babies, please follow it! QAQ-- The Only Beta on an ABO Dating Show Wan Xia joins a wildly popular interstellar dating show for alphas and omegas. The show has three alphas and three omegas. But he's neither an alpha nor an omega. He's a beta pretending to be an alpha. What Wan Xia doesn't know is that the show looks like a 3A3O setup, but it's actually 1B5A. That's right. Everyone else is an alpha. He's the only one who's not! Meet the contestants: Contestant A: An imperial prince and leading contender for the throne, a gifted imperial commander, and a cold, unfeeling workaholic. After a disastrous command, he's sent to the dating show to reform him. Contestant B: The marshal's adopted son, an SSSSSS-class alpha who can wreck both his teammates and the battlefield when he goes to war. Hailed as the Empire's most terrifying weapon and a born great villain, he joins the show after a failed online romance. Contestant C: An insanely, ridiculously, unbelievably famous interstellar superstar, with countless properties and the title of richest person in the Empire. A stunning beauty, he tearfully pretends to be an omega just to hook the alpha wife he fancies. Gay people have done nothing wrong! Contestant D: The head of the Academy of Sciences and the son of a cabinet minister. He earned dual doctorates in philosophy and psychology at a young age. For unknown reasons, he pretends to be an omega despite being an alpha. He's the most popular omega in the entire galaxy. Contestant E: ... At their first meeting, the show staff ask Wan Xia what he thinks of the contestants. Wan Xia looks from side to side. "None of them seems very promising." Then he rattles off all five contestants' flaws. Viewers: Is he an idiot? Has he even looked at himself? The contestants, A, B, C, D... gradually come around: Maybe he has a point. * On their first date, a contestant asks Wan Xia where he wants to go. Wan Xia: "Come to my place and pick through the trash." Viewers: Are you insane?!!! But then these pampered elites happily haul tires and lids around, picking up trash, and say they can't wait to come back. * The viewers gradually realize that as the dating show goes on, it turns into a counseling program, a budgeting show, a warrior training center, and eventually... Watching the six contestants ride their jury-rigged, rickety tricycle straight into an insect nest, the viewers finally ask: What kind of show is this? The director lights a cigarette with a world-weary sigh. "A dating show about picking up trash, killing bugs, chatting about life, and falling in love!" P.S. 1. The shou is a poor mecha mechanic obsessed with turning junk into treasure. He can fix anything, from machines to dogs. His golden finger is huge, and he's incredibly, incredibly popular. There's only so much room in the blurb, so read the story for details. As for the gong... all the handsome guys love the protagonist. I'll mark the main love interest as soon as I've decided. 2. Not a conventional dating show, but there'll be plenty of romantic rivalry. Theme: Stay optimistic and confident, and the bad times will eventually turn around.
