This Isn't Coercion, I Walked Right into the Trap

Power couple, ABO + an omega pretending to be an alpha + apocalypse + political intrigue + reborn

A beautiful, calculating, and fiercely independent omega who keeps a clear head vs. a ruthless, possessive, and unhinged alpha who will stop at nothing

To avenge his parents, who died at the mouths of zombies, Su Yu, the young master of Base Eighteen, goes to the military academy at First Base to learn combat skills. But he presents as a weak omega, whose primary role is reproduction, and is discovered by his follower, Xiao Tingjun. The two are forced to spend a night together.

Afterward, Su Yu keeps injecting himself with alpha pheromones. With Xiao Tingjun's protection, he becomes a top student whom everyone admires. Then he discovers that he is pregnant and has no choice but to take a leave of absence.

When a zombie horde arrives, Su Yu is gravely wounded on the battlefield and taken home by his older brother to recuperate.

After the zombies are wiped out, all the bases begin trying to swallow one another up.

Su Yu has no choice but to steel himself and negotiate with First Base.

But he discovers that the person sent to negotiate is Xiao Tingjun, whose eyes are full of hatred.

Extra scene:

First Base, the chief administrator's residence...

Su Yu watches the child of the former executive officer, who is standing before him and waving the bell on his wrist. For some reason, the sight seems familiar.

The little one comes clinking over, unsteady on his feet, and tumbles right in front of Su Yu's knees.

Su Yu catches him and gently pats his back.

The child wraps both arms around Su Yu's neck and leans close to his ear, speaking in an adorable little voice. "Are you that hostage?"

Su Yu pushes him away and studies his expression. The child tilts his head, blinks his big eyes, and looks completely innocent.

"If I want to kill Xiao Tingjun, should we join forces?" the little one whispers.

"Who told you to say that?" Su Yu asks the five-year-old, Xiao Tingjun's adopted son. "Do you know what those words mean?"

"My mother said it. He, he..." The child still looks innocent. He scratches his head, recalling what his mother said. "He wants to kill me."

"What did he say to you?"

A sudden voice comes from behind Su Yu. He draws a sharp breath and turns around. Xiao Tingjun's face is swallowed by darkness.

"Nothing," Su Yu says.

"He wants to kill me, doesn't he?" Xiao Tingjun advances step by step, bringing the power of darkness with him.

Su Yu stands at the boundary of the shadows, calmly blocking the child's retreating figure. "No. What could a child this young understand?"

"He may not understand, but others do. He's just a banner for them to rally against me." Xiao Tingjun looks toward the end of the corridor. The little one is still peeking this way, watching them.

"Since you know all that, why have you let him live until now?" Su Yu asks coolly, though his tightly clenched hands betray his nerves. "Don't say it's because he's your benefactor's son. We both know you don't care about that."

Reader's Guide

1. After injecting himself with alpha pheromones, Su Yu's memory gradually becomes confused. After being gravely wounded, he loses all memories of living as an omega, including his night with Xiao Tingjun and the fact that they have a child together. He only remembers that he is an omega pretending to be an alpha.

2. Xiao Tingjun barely survives the battlefield. When he returns home and finds it empty, he assumes Su Yu and the child are both dead. Later, he learns that the child was rescued by the former executive officer, who had no children of his own, and takes the opportunity to let him raise the child.

Blurb two: Before presenting, Su Yu dreamed of bringing all the survivors together to resist the encroaching apocalypse.

Everyone thought he was capable and ambitious. The people who looked at him did so with respect and trust. But then he presented as an omega.

To achieve his goal, he decides to disguise himself as an alpha and become a frontline commander. Everything goes smoothly, and no one knows that the coolheaded, rational commander has a delicate body.

That is, until he reveals his identity while negotiating with the commander of First Base, and is forced into a political marriage, becoming a canary in Xiao Tingjun's cage.

His knowledge of Xiao Tingjun is limited to what one rival knows about another.

Xiao Tingjun knows him too. He knows every detail of the scar on Su Yu's side.

Now, he looks without expression at the former lover he once knew, wondering whether it would be better to lock him up or break his legs to keep him safe.

His love is a cage. Once it closes around you, you will be its prey for the rest of your life.

And yet, aren't the cleverest hunters often the ones who appear to be prey?

This isn't coercive love. I'm just walking right into the trap.

A proud cat and its runaway fiancee

Coming soon: After I Could Foresee Death, the White Lotus Drama Queen Took Over!

A tough exterior, a weak core, and an inner monologue that never stops; loves mocking everyone and pretends to be a white lotus omega vs. a ruthless, decisive, clear-eyed, free-spirited demon cultivator who answers to no one

Li Yan, an ordinary cultivator of the Tianzheng Sect, is pursued by enemies. He narrowly escapes death and suddenly gains an ability.

He can foretell whether people will live or die, and he seems never to be wrong. No matter what anyone does to save them, the person dies right on schedule.

After that, Li Yan becomes much more composed, turning into the revered Bodhisattva Li.

After all, nothing is more satisfying than knowing your enemy will die a gruesome death in three days, without having to get your own hands dirty.

Until he is dragged along to carry out a revenge plot...

Looking at the demon cultivator standing before him, covered in blood,

the so-called righteous men all insist that they must eliminate him to prevent future trouble.

Only Li Yan steps forward to stop them.

What everyone thinks: So many people have died, and you're still stopping us! You and your precious white-lotus act. Beat that sanctimonious hypocrite to death!

What everyone says: Young Master Li truly has a Bodhisattva's compassion. Even when facing his enemy, he can still show such magnanimity!

Li Yan stands with his hands behind his back, thinking to himself: It's fine. He'll be crushed to death by a signboard in Shangyang City in three days anyway. There's no need to rush!

But...

Three days later, this criminal isn't dead at all.

He's actually turned up in Li Yan's bedroom?!

"Bodhisattva Li, you look surprised to see me," Jiang Ziwen says darkly. "Since I'm still alive, I certainly won't let down Bodhisattva Li's good intentions!"

Everyone says Li Yan has the heart of a Bodhisattva,

but Jiang Ziwen can hear his thoughts perfectly clearly...

This guy is going to die in three days anyway, so why should I kill him myself?

Jiang Ziwen likes people who are vicious, as long as they aren't talking about him.

You dare curse me to die?

Jiang Ziwen swears he'll tear out this man's heart and liver and throw them at the feet of those blind fools,

so they can see just how black-hearted this man really is!
