A Gift for Satan [Female Alpha, Male Omega]

[I can't quite capture the feeling I'm after yet, so I'll be writing a lot to practice. I'll come back to this story once it's up to my standards. If you really like it, follow me on Weibo. I'll post progress updates while I build up a backlog. Note from 2023.7.4.]

* Romance

* Interstellar setting / not Western fantasy / writing the kind of story I want to read / male lead is not the delicate type

Chen Qingge is an assassin for an underground organization.

Before his first mission, he learns he'll have a partner.

At the same time, his handler tells Chen Qingge

that his partner is the organization's ace,

a devil who inspires terror in countless nobles.

Before they meet, Chen Qingge has always thought Tu Yaping is ordinary and frail, nothing more than a plain omega upperclasswoman. She hardly seems worthy of her noble surname and the bloodline it represents.

Her name comes up again and again in the boys' after-dinner and late-night conversations.

They always talk about the girls at school with their stunning figures.

They say Tu Yaping's face is the only flaw in an otherwise perfect body.

Then, deep underground, Chen Qingge finally sees her clearly.

In the orange light of the wall lamps,

the woman approaches, her long hair tied high, her tight black leather clothes outlining curves that seem heaven-sent.

Her cold, sharp eyes are like the empire's most precious amethysts.

They've appeared in his dreams countless times, too.

Tu Yaping looks down at him, just as she did on that rainy night three years ago.

That day, Chen Qingge, trapped in the mud, was the one who reached out first, clutching the boots of a passing noble and begging her for help.

She stopped and turned, leaning down to look at him, her presence icy.

"Anything?"

"...Yes."

He thought he'd called out to a god and earned her mercy,

but it turned out to be nothing more than the last shred of conscience left in Satan.
