The Queen O's Runaway Cowardly A

Former title: My Alpha Only Wants to Forge Jiang Ciqing is the heir to an ancient family of blade smiths. At sixteen, she fired up the forge for the first time and crafted a blade that amazed the entire Imperial Capital. Hailed as the most talented blade smith, she drew a line of people seeking her work that stretched from the city to the outskirts, then circled the capital three times. They eagerly awaited her designation, hoping she would forge a true blade capable of slaying magical beasts. Jiang Ciqing did not let them down. She did indeed present as an Alpha. But she was the lowest rank of Alpha, incapable of imbuing her blades with the power to slay magical beasts. Even her pheromones were so faint they were nearly nonexistent, and she lacked the ability to mark anyone. The genius everyone had admired was now considered a failure. Unwilling to accept it, she pored over ancient texts and finally found a way to change her innate talent: after bonding, the lower-ranked partner could become stronger if the difference in rank between them was great enough. As everyone knew, there was only one S-rank Omega in the Imperial Capital: Xu Fusheng, the queen of the notorious, lawless Badlands. Her name had long topped the Empire’s most-wanted list, with a bounty of ten million. The once-proud blade smith broke her own spine with her bare hands, then went to great lengths to get close to the woman rumored to despise Alphas. Through careful scheming, she made Xu Fusheng fall for her. The Alpha, who had been reverse-marked, fled with her clothes in the middle of the night. She resolutely embraced a reclusive life at the forge, forbidding photos and interviews, using a different name on her work, and revealing nothing about herself. But… Why had the collar she’d left behind along the way suddenly appeared at her door? The woman said, “Long time no see, my Alpha.” An ABO story, but not everything follows the original conventions. No second set of organs. The characters are twenty and twenty-three, both adults. Black-haired, black-eyed, bamboo-scented puppy Alpha × silver-haired, red-eyed, agave-scented older-sister Omega. Weak Alpha, strong Omega. The stubborn puppy often gets teased by big sister until she cries. The author is simply a blacksmithing enthusiast and, for various reasons, has never tried it firsthand. The relevant information in the story comes from books and online sources. Please leave a comment if you spot any mistakes. Coming soon, please add to your reading list: The Waist-Grabbing Villain Has No Time to Destroy the World [Quick Transmigration] After an accident, Qin Zhenge is bound to a Villain-Saving System. She must change the course of each villain’s life before they turn evil in every parallel world. Qin Zhenge: This is easy. Just get them into relationships. If they have love in their hearts, they won’t destroy the world. World One: A gloomy, possessive, wealthy beauty Alpha, crippled after being kidnapped as a child, and a gentle, flirtatious, self-aware White Moonlight family tutor Omega. In the original world, the kind and long-suffering White Moonlight fell in love with the wealthy beauty, but couldn’t cure her paranoia and possessiveness. After a misunderstanding, she turned to the gentle second male lead, and the wealthy beauty broke down and destroyed the world. Now, the wealthy Alpha sits in her wheelchair, gazing sadly out the window. “I’m a useless cripple. I have nothing but money, and everyone mocks me.” White Moonlight: “Exactly, you have money. Why not bury those sharp-tongued little brats in it?” Wealthy beauty: … The wealthy beauty, gloomy and possessive: “Is it because I’m a cripple that you look at other people?” White Moonlight: “Don’t be ridiculous. She’s not as rich as you, not as good in bed as you, and not as pretty as you. How could I look at her?” Wealthy beauty: “…Then what are you looking at?” White Moonlight: “Her necklace is so sparkly.” Wealthy beauty: “Take this check. Go pick out the sparkliest diamond ring you can find, and marry me.” World Two: A seductive, ambitious queen determined to rule the whole continent, and a contract-bound, white-haired, dark-skinned, seductive dragon top. In the original world, the queen and the dragon made a contract as children, accompanying and helping each other grow. After using the dragon to conquer city after city and destroy country after country, the queen gradually lost herself in power. The disappointed dragon broke the contract and left, and the queen broke down and destroyed the world. Now, the dragon, transformed into a white-haired, dark-skinned beauty, looks at the ambitious queen. “My dear Queen, dragons are the greediest of all creatures. If you want to command one, you’ll have to pay the appropriate price.” The queen smiles nonchalantly. “Tell me what you want. Gold coins, gemstones, territory: I can give you anything.” The dragon smiles too, moving closer to the arrogant human. “Gold coins, gemstones, and you.” After conquering the first city-state, The queen, rubbing her sore waist and sipping goji berry tea from a wineglass, says, “A day and a night, no longer.” After conquering a country, The queen, pale-faced and trembling-legged, says, “One hour at most. I’m warning you.” The dragon, back in human form, wraps an arm around her waist and smiles, still unsatisfied. “That’s only one country, my Queen. Look how many city-states you still have left to add to your realm.” Queen: …Maybe I don’t really want to conquer the world after all? World Three: A brilliant, domineering, proud princess top × a seemingly aloof and gentle, but actually seductive, little nun top. In the original world, the princess had a gift for governing that far surpassed her mediocre father and brothers. They relied on her, but also feared her. In the end, the person she trusted most pushed her off a cliff. She survived and turned around to destroy the world. Now, ever since the princess was banished to a temple by her father, she has refused to return to the palace. She claims she has seen through worldly desires and is determined to spend her life beside the Buddha. The incompetent Emperor and Crown Prince: ??? In reality, the princess spends every day following the little nun around the temple. Holding a Buddhist scripture, she stares at the nun. “Little Master, how should I interpret this line?” The nun holds the book up in front of her. “It says you must abandon love and desire to enter the Pure Land.” The princess: “But all I can think about is you. What should I do?” The nun pulls at her sash. “Then let me help Your Highness experience the Pure Land.” The princess’s legs go weak, and she instinctively throws her arms around the other woman’s neck. The next moment, she is laid on the desk, Buddhist scriptures scattered across the floor. In the end, the Emperor and Crown Prince stand outside the temple, weeping and wailing as they beg the princess to return and take charge. Meanwhile, the princess is sleeping soundly in the little nun’s arms. Theme: Correct your mistakes and build a better life
