The Strongest Aide in the Galaxy

Tough, taciturn, and fiercely protective Beta top x spoiled, pampered, sharp-tongued Alpha bottom

Shang Yu knew that Lu Yanqing looked down on him, the pampered, ill-tempered Alpha prince. Even after being appointed as the aide responsible for educating him to become the next commander, Lu Yanqing still refused to show him any respect.

Even though Lu Yanqing was only a Beta.

Shang Yu was secretly relieved. That meant Lu Yanqing would never find out that the little prince had been secretly in love with him all along!

By chance, the Alpha tried to take advantage of being drunk to mark Lu Yanqing and then play dumb. But after holding his aide's pale neck and biting at it for ages, the impatient Lu Yanqing pinned him to the bed and "taught him a lesson" all night.

Neither of them mentioned it afterward, until Shang Yu came looking for his aide with a dark expression. "Are you pretending to be an Alpha... No, wait, why am I, an Alpha, carrying a baby?!"

Lu Yanqing: "?"

Lu Yanqing was adopted by the royal family at five. Shang Yu was only two at the time.

He had watched Shang Yu grow from a tiny dumpling into a little prince. Perhaps because they were together every day, the little prince had never seen through his heart.

Nor had he ever noticed the possessiveness he kept buried within.

When Shang Yu forcibly pushed him down, he hadn't thought much of it, assuming the little prince was acting out again. He never expected him to be serious.

Sincerity mingled with anger, and after that lesson, a dragon egg came to be between them.

They married because of the egg. Lu Yanqing was no longer just the little prince's aide, but also his legal spouse.

No longer suppressing his possessiveness, Lu Yanqing made sure Shang Yu was thoroughly satisfied on their wedding night.

Shang Yu: This isn't how I imagined it! You lie down!

Lu Yanqing: I'm lying down. Climb on, and do your best.

Shang Yu: Stop shaking my waist, you bastard QAQ

Later, Lu Yanqing single-handedly wielded a weapon bearing the Shang family crest to clear every obstacle in Shang Yu's path, lifting his little prince onto the high throne.

The aide who had single-handedly fought his way across the stars bowed and kissed the ring on Shang Yu's fingertip. "Good afternoon, my little sovereign."

Reader's Guide:

1. There will be pregnancy and egg-laying later on. Please don't read if that's not your thing.

2. Both leads are each other's one and only.

3. Beta top, Alpha bottom. He can't be marked, but the Alpha has ancestral traits, so he can carry an egg.
