The Most Hated Beta Was Reborn

After turning eighteen and presenting as an Alpha, nothing in Shen Yi's life goes right.

His childhood sweetheart and fiance suddenly breaks off their engagement, and his father blames him for being less considerate than an Omega.

Someone steals his unfinished experiment, and his older brother accuses him of setting him up.

He develops a suppressant with no side effects, hoping to free people from the shackles of pheromones, but his work is twisted into an accusation that he resents Alphas and Omegas.

Only after he dies does Shen Yi learn that he is merely the cannon-fodder foil in a harem novel, and that every misfortune he suffered was a "punishment" for interfering with the plot. Even the experimental breakthrough he was so proud of was just another stepping stone to the protagonist's success.

When Shen Yi opens his eyes again, he has returned to the beginning of the experiment, before the finished product is released.

This time, he takes off his lab coat, brings his unfinished suppressant, and heads to the Ninth Legion, beyond the reach of the protagonist's golden finger.

If anyone wants to be cannon fodder, they can do it themselves.

The Ninth Legion is the Empire's most infamous "Legion of Lunatics." Every one of its million soldiers is tough enough to gulp suppressants like water and eat battles against the Zerg for breakfast. Their only weakness is the torment caused by the suppressants' side effects.

Until one day, a handsome young man arrives with an "unfinished product"...

When word gets out that the young master of the Shen family who ran away from home has returned to the Imperial Star alongside the Ninth Legion, fresh from crushing the Zerg, people jeer: "He knows nobody wants a beta, so he slunk back to beg the Shen family for protection."

The Shen patriarch and his sons issue a public statement with his former fiance: the Shen family will never accept Shen Yi.

Then, at the victory ceremony, everyone sees those arrogant generals treating Shen Yi with the utmost respect.

The young emperor, who never smiles, gazes at him warmly and says with a smile, "Welcome back."

The young man who was once the subject of endless controversy has long since become someone everyone else can only look up to.
