An Omega's Deal for Power

Ambitious beauty on the bottom x deeply devoted top who doesn't realize he's in love

Chen Li is an Omega from a remote planet, a rare sight at Imperial Capital University.

Huo Guanting is a top-tier Alpha and heir to the military.

To climb the social ladder, Chen Li signs a sponsorship agreement with Huo Guanting. They each get what they want; it's an exchange of benefits.

Huo Guanting can't understand how Chen Li can lie in bed during his heat and calmly demand benefits from him. Chen Li is only ever nice when he wants something, and once they get out of bed, he acts as if they hardly know each other.

But that doesn't matter. Huo Guanting can give him all the money and power he wants. Chen Li could never leave him.

Chen Li realizes that Huo Guanting has been getting harder and harder to appease lately. To get what he wants, he often has to endure a rough time first.

On the day he is officially elected the Empire's chief executive, Chen Li decides to end their absurd relationship.

Huo Guanting goes crazy. "What haven't I given you? Don't you feel anything for me at all?"

Chen Li finds the question baffling. "This was always just a transaction."

Huo Guanting refuses to give up. He holds Chen Li back from leaving. "I don't believe you don't love me."

Chen Li injects him with a sedative and, before leaving, says, "We were never equals. How could we talk about love?"
