The Spoiled, High-Maintenance Omega Longs to Be Marked

In a desolate region at the edge of the galaxy, a starship carrying military families lies docked beneath the night sky.

Omega wives who have been separated from their husbands for a long time take this opportunity to spend a brief, intimate reunion with their lovers.

...Except for Ning Jiao.

Everyone knows the major stationed at Furnace Star is married, but this is the first time anyone has seen his wife: Ning Jiao, a young, beautiful, arrogant male omega.

Until now, he has never visited his husband here. Not even once.

And this time, he hasn't brought Yan Wenjie any tenderness. Instead, he's brought a scandalous affair that won't stay buried.

With the pale pink flesh of his neck and gland exposed, he wanders among the alphas along the border. Everyone can smell the omega's heady, ripe pheromones,

except Yan Wenjie.

He has no ability to mark Ning Jiao as his own. That young, brazen omega always looks at him with disgust and rejection, yet he's so beautiful that there's nothing Yan Wenjie can do about it.

Even after Yan Wenjie catches him in the act and kisses him until his lips are red and swollen, the boy still looks at him with arrogant disdain.

He glances at his husband, who can barely restrain himself, and turns away.

"You're really... disgusting."

"Go take care of yourself, will you?"

To Ning Jiao, marrying Yan Wenjie is humiliating.

The man is just a "commoner" who rose through the ranks on military merit, a useless alpha who doesn't even have pheromones.

Ning Jiao tries every trick he can to leave Yan Wenjie, never imagining that this man would refuse to let him go, yet be willing to die for him.

Alien creatures invade, and a great battle is about to begin. Yan Wenjie takes a direct hit meant to kill, while he himself is lost in a sea of flames, his fate unknown.

Ning Jiao thinks he doesn't care at all.

Until, countless days later, he hears news that keeps him awake all night.

He is led to a secret hospital room. In the dim shadows, the man's deep-set eyes are cool and his voice hard.

"Disappointed to see I'm still alive?"

But Ning Jiao can no longer make out what he's saying.

All he knows is that Yan Wenjie's aggressively smoky pheromones are filling the space beside the hospital bed, and his legs are shaking so badly he can barely stand.

Yan Wenjie always thought Ning Jiao was an arrogant young master from a privileged family, someone who would never humble himself or beg anyone.

Until, after emergency surgery and regaining his gland, he stands before Ning Jiao again.

The omega boy who once treated him like a stray dog now clings to his shoulder for a little of his pheromones, his cheeks flushed as he nuzzles Yan Wenjie's neck, unable to bear it any longer.

Ning Jiao holds Yan Wenjie's tie in his mouth. When it is pulled free, the tip is soaked, with a string of saliva trailing from it.

The boy's eyes are unfocused as he begs in a soft voice.

"I-I'll be good..."

"Can you... mark me now?"

The next book will be Really, I'm Just a Camera-Wife

Zhu Queyin is a pampered wife type.

As a proper beautiful idiot and pampered wife, he's his husband's appendage, favorite pet, and pretty ornament.

His husband, Qin Zheng, is a domineering protagonist: powerful, cool, handsome, with a golden finger and a spectacular career.

At the same time, Zhu Queyin occupies only a tiny part of his life, serving as a tool to satisfy his "urges."

Of course, Zhu Queyin has no idea this is the truth.

Until one day, when he is about to kneel beside Qin Zheng's legs as usual, the man stops him.

"...Stop."

"What are you doing?"

Qin Zheng transmigrates into the novel Marrying the Cold, Ruthless Domineering Protagonist, becoming the protagonist gong, who shares his name.

His wife is beautiful and obedient, but something about him seems strange.

Zhu Queyin's past is so uneventful it's practically a blank page. After he marries Qin Zheng, his family and friends simply disappear.

As for the future, there's no career arc or shining moment for him, either.

System: That's right. He's a camera-wife shou, and all the highlights and plot points in this book revolve around you.

Qin Zheng: So what is he supposed to do?

System: Gaze at you, obey you, love you.

System: The problem is that the original Qin Zheng grew bored with Zhu Queyin, so their relationship couldn't progress. You need to play the role of the cool, handsome, perfect husband and complete the romance.

The problem is, Qin Zheng is a straight man through and through.

He has no idea how to be a good husband.

System: ...At least don't reject Zhu Queyin.

So when the little beauty clutches clothes Qin Zheng tossed into a basket and sniffs them, his ears red, Qin Zheng pretends not to notice.

When the little beauty sits on the edge of his desk and nudges his thigh with his toes, Qin Zheng says nothing.

When the little beauty worries that he might be lonely on his business trip and puts on a little dress to start a video call, Qin Zheng keeps a straight face.

When an unfamiliar man appears beside the little beauty, Qin Zheng still...

Qin Zheng: ?

Wait, I'm not supposed to reject that, either?

Zhu Queyin loves his husband, Qin Zheng. He doesn't need to figure out why. A pampered wife loves her husband for no reason.

Although his husband is cold and distant, usually neither responding nor refusing, Zhu Queyin still thinks he's cool and handsome.

Until one day, he realizes his husband seems to have changed.

He starts pinning Zhu Queyin down with longer, deeper kisses and following him with a more intense, unrelenting gaze. He even refuses to let any other man near him.

...Qin Zheng awkwardly tries to be a good husband in his own way, thinking Zhu Queyin will accept him if he does this.

But Zhu Queyin's curled lashes grow wet with tears as he guides Qin Zheng's hand to his waist. "Honey, check. I really don't have another man..."

Qin Zheng: ?

Qin Zheng knows this is probably traditional and chauvinistic.

But it turns out he is completely and utterly in love with this poor, foolish little wife.

So much so that the vows he made after first transmigrating into the book, about saving people in danger, have all but vanished from his mind. He only wants Zhu Queyin to love him a little more, to look at him one more time.
