The Alliance stipulates that any alpha and omega with a compatibility rating above 90% must meet and spend 200 hours together, or the match will be enforced.
Lin Che is the youngest major general in the Alliance, and the only omega among frontline officers. After being injured on the battlefield, he was diagnosed with amnesia. The higher-ups immediately began pushing him out, leaving him with only two options:
A: Retire due to his injuries, settle into an early retirement, and give up the twenty years of hard work behind him.
B: Marry Major General Lu, whose compatibility with him is 100%, and return to the military district as a military spouse.
Lin Che doesn't hesitate. "Obviously B. I have amnesia, not a brain defect."
His subordinate says, "But Major General Lu is your archenemy. As soon as the compatibility results came out, he bought a whole tank of paramecia..."
Lin Che: "Huh?"
His subordinate: "Because you once said that if every man in the world died and only he and a paramecium were left, you'd still choose the paramecium... Major General Lu said he'd pick the prettiest paramecium to give you, and wish you a happy wedding."
Pride is overrated, and besides, he has amnesia anyway. Lin Che goes straight to Lu Zhanyan and proposes a three-year marriage of convenience, offering him very favorable terms in exchange.
Major General Lu fires back, "Did a starship hit your head? The whole military district knows we're sworn enemies. If we got married, nobody would believe it was real."
So that very night, Lin Che posts a five-thousand-character essay publicly declaring that he's been secretly in love with Major General Lu all along, and that his past behavior was only a cover. Now that they've matched, he can finally stop pretending.
After reading it, Major General Lu continues to mock him. "That's your solution? You competed with me for first place in elementary school because you wanted to be as good as me? You fought me in middle school to get my attention? You went after the same person as me at military school so I wouldn't like anyone else?"
Lin Che: "It's all made up anyway. The public loves this kind of story."
As it turns out, the public really does love it, and the trending topics explode:
#Major General Lin Has Been in Love with Major General Lu for Eighteen Years#
#Sworn Enemies Turn Out to Be a Couple#
#Lin Che and Lu Zhanyan: Marrying for Love#
Their wedding is filled with gossip. The fake couple does their best to play the part. Lin Che was never one to hold back, and now that he's lost his memory, he has even fewer reservations. He affectionately drapes an arm over Lu Zhanyan's shoulder, calls him a silly goose, and showers him with affection.
Lu Zhanyan, however, is a little out of sorts. Being forced to put on a show with his archenemy leaves him stiff all over.
When the mandatory 200 hours are finally over, he feels even worse.
Lu Zhanyan realizes that the five-thousand-character essay Lin Che wrote can perfectly explain his own feelings over the past decade or so.
He competed with Lin Che because he wanted to be as good as him, entered contests against him because he wanted Lin Che to notice him, and couldn't stand seeing anyone else by his side...
Without even realizing it, Lu Zhanyan has been secretly in love with Lin Che for years.

Later, as their relationship improves, Lu Zhanyan finds himself torn. He wants Lin Che to stay amnesiac forever, yet also wants him to regain his memories at once. Back when they were sworn enemies, even if Lin Che hated him, he was the only one to receive that hatred. Their past may not have been perfect, but it was vivid and passionate.
