I Became My Own Alpha After Turning Dark

Chapters four and five have been replaced with completely new chapters.

[Body-swap Narcissus story: An Alpha pretending to be an Omega, a seemingly sweet but secretly scheming beauty gong x a tough-looking but timid, lovesick shou]

The supreme king of the Nyx System, Aethergard, is unexpectedly reborn in an Omega's body fifteen years in the past.

But he never expected that the little prince who had suffered a crushing defeat in the imperial coup all those years ago would now be looking at him with such innocent pride.

Young and vibrant, not yet chewed up and turned into the cold, ruthless man he would become. He still wholeheartedly believes that "fragile Omegas need protection," and is a hopeless romantic.

Aethergard: ...Interesting.

So he lets his eyes linger and softens his voice, playing the considerate, perfect fiancée to a tee. In those lowered rose-red eyes, there is no shyness, only keen, curious appraisal.

Until the eve of the wedding, Ruan Tingyan stuffs the veil into the other's arms and turns away with a bright smile.

"Your Highness, I hope we never meet again."

Later, the whole empire knows that the Third Prince has gone mad. He turns the entire star system upside down, searching for someone who died fifteen years ago.

At last, he finds that person again. They stand where light and shadow meet, their bearing utterly unlike the Omega he remembers. Golden hair falls to their waist, and rose-red eyes are cool and distant, stripped of every trace of feigned tenderness.

Lu Jingxi stares fixedly at the face that is exactly like his own.

Watching the man before him suddenly lose himself, Ruan Tingyan gives a soft laugh and reaches up to caress his face, pressing their foreheads together.

"Darling, after searching for me for so long, do you still not know who it is you're looking for?"

1. Double Alpha narcissism, with an older gong.

2. The gong and shou have the same nature at their core. The gong puts on an act at first, and the shou will be tempted.
