"Marrying a Rich and Beautiful Omega" is listed at the very bottom. Add it to your collection if you're interested. Lazy big shot top x rich and beautiful flower bottom Liu Yingqu died and transmigrated into a novel, becoming a heartless scholar. The heartless scholar was born in the countryside and married Shen Qingwu, a businessman. Because Shen Qingwu's family was rich, after the scholar placed second in the imperial exams, the Chancellor's household selected him as a son-in-law. He killed his husband and married the Chancellor's legitimate son, then lived in great luxury. After that, he embezzled, colluded with eunuchs, deceived the emperor, and murdered court officials, becoming the Great Zhao dynasty's greatest scourge. On his first day after transmigrating, Liu Yingqu wanted to laze around, only to find that his family couldn't even afford food, and studying cost a fortune. Farming wasn't lucrative. He might as well live off someone else, and write an IOU at most. * As Liu Yingqu was writing the IOU, a handsome young man kept staring at him. When he finished, the man warmly called him Liu Lang, in a tone usually used for a sweetheart. The brush in Liu Yingqu's hand stained the IOU with ink. Had the original owner and this guy already fallen for each other? He started to feel scared, because he wasn't very faithful. He had a feeling his lazy days wouldn't go very smoothly. And indeed, wherever he went, he couldn't escape the misery of practice questions and exams. He didn't want to study. * Shen Qingwu was handsome, had a modest family fortune, and had been doted on since childhood. He took an interest in Liu Yingqu's education and struck up a friendly connection with him. In Shen Qingwu's eyes, Liu Yingqu was a poor scholar who had failed the provincial exam three times and spent money recklessly, but was a person of good character who treated others kindly. Some people said Liu Yingqu was uneducated and spent time with other young men, and Shen Qingwu half believed them, until he met Liu Yingqu, who had come to write an IOU. He'd never written an IOU before! Liu Yingqu's talent became widely known. Liu Yingqu became virtuous and faithful. Liu Yingqu was... very diligent (?). He just occasionally acted up and was always reluctant to study. With Shen Qingwu around, he would definitely pass the imperial exams. He remembered that his sweetheart dreamed of passing the imperial exams. He would help his sweetheart achieve that dream! It would be even better if he could place third in the palace examination. * At the Chief Minister's residence, Shen Qingwu grabbed the Chief Minister's hand. "They say you're going to divorce me?" Liu Yingqu: "I wouldn't dare... Ahem, no, where did that rumor come from? I love you too much to divorce you. It's slander, pure slander." * In the original novel, Liu Yingqu was the male lead's foil. The male lead helped a wise ruler seize the throne, while Liu Yingqu was a villain in front of the ruler who brought down the dynasty. Liu Yingqu's husband, Shen Qingwu, was arrogant and domineering, while the male lead's widower husband was clever and capable. Liu Yingqu was cold and unfeeling, while the male lead was devoted and loyal. Liu Yingqu failed the exams three times, while the male lead became a Triple Laureate, surpassing him in every way. Now Liu Yingqu has pushed the male lead aside and become a great loyal official! Isn't that ridiculous! * Reading guide: 1. They are each other's only partners and dote on each other. 2.

He feels completely out of place at Federal University. After transmigrating, he only wants to study, work part-time, and then make a lot of money after graduation. The first thing he'll do with his earnings is buy a more expensive suppressor. The cheap ones seem to be losing their effectiveness. A handsome, poor Alpha joins the command department at Federal University. He's cool-headed, steady, reliable, and skilled in combat, making him a great teammate. After getting to know him, people discover he has gentleness and respect in his nature. He's not afflicted with typical Alpha chauvinism at all, so the university's Betas and Omegas all like him. They're happy to recommend part-time jobs to him. Chu Rongmian is an Omega of noble status, handsome, with blond hair and blue eyes. He holds considerable authority at Federal University as the student council president. Lately, the Betas and Omegas have been talking about the new Alpha student. They hear he's poor but ambitious, and Chu Rongmian has no interest whatsoever in an Alpha from the lower classes. "If you get together with someone like that, your parents won't approve," Chu Rongmian tells a noble Omega. "You don't have to be together just because you like someone." Chu Rongmian thinks that if you like someone, you should be together. While Chu Rongmian and Xu Lingwang are on a reconnaissance mission, Chu Rongmian's pheromones go out of control. Xu Lingwang injects himself with a suppressor, his hand trembling, then locks Chu Rongmian in the bedroom. Xu Lingwang: "..." I'm so unlucky. He won't get involved with Chu Rongmian. That would be too much trouble. He buys a suppressor for Omegas and brings it back. When Chu Rongmian sees it, his mist-blue eyes fill with tears. "You actually expect me to use such a cheap suppressor? You're inhuman!" Xu Lingwang says helplessly, "My options are limited. Just make do for now." Chu Rongmian won't make do. Blushing, he tells Xu Lingwang to give him a temporary mark first. That's still better than using a cheap suppressor! He doesn't like this Alpha at all! Not even a little! Years later, when Xu Lingwang is serving as the Federation's First Commander, he says, "I'm grateful to my Omega. I will always love him." That night, Chu Rongmian drags Xu Lingwang onto the bed and kisses him. Xu Lingwang gently lowers his head to kiss his beloved. Theme: Even in a lowly position, I dare not forget my country; when matters are settled, we must wait until the coffin is closed.
