Buying the Fallen Empire's Marshal Omega

[Ongoing new novel: After taking revenge on my nemesis, I woke up in his bed. Blurb at the very end]

[Top, A/O]

On the day of his wedding, Lu Rong was killed by his childhood sweetheart. That seemingly sweet wedding had been designed as a trap just for him.

Luckily, death wasn't the end. An explosion sent Lu Rong to an unfamiliar planet, where he woke to the covetous eyes of alien beasts. He nearly became their meal, but was unexpectedly rescued.

His rescuer had snow-white hair, wore a mask and military uniform, and stood straight as a longsword reflecting the moonlight. Standing atop the bloody corpses of the beasts, he looked at Lu Rong with cold, weary eyes. "You don't belong here."

Lu Rong certainly hadn't wanted to come here, but he couldn't leave either. An ion storm stranded him at an empty spaceport, where he had no choice but to face the ill-tempered man who had rescued him and was stranded there too.

But on a night when icy snow fell, unexpected trouble arose. Lu Rong discovered that the decisive killer before him was actually a feathered serpent, and an Omega at that. His explosive heat came on with unstoppable force, and his pheromones suddenly filled the air.

Once his heat had subsided, the Omega vanished. Following the scent of his cold pheromones, Lu Rong entered the forest. There he found the corpses of the ambushers scattered across the ground, and the Omega's retreating figure, leaving without looking back.

Lu Rong thought that would be the last time they ever met.

A few months later, Lu Rong saw that Omega on the news. He had climbed a staircase of blood and corpses to become the marshal known throughout the empire.

One of the marshal's famous declarations: I cannot understand Alphas and Omegas who are controlled by pheromones and want to mate anytime, anywhere. The prosperity of the empire is my only goal and life's mission.

Lu Rong: ...? (At a loss for words)

-

They met again at an auction in the City of Sin.

The empire had fallen. The proud Omega's identity was exposed, his tail severed, and he was turned into an immortal specimen. He could never again take human form. His wings had been forced open and could not fold back; now he was an exhibit, waiting for people to come admire him, while waiting to die in a corner of his cage.

Lu Rong stood at the edge of the cage, appraising the dying Omega with an amused smile. "Looks like you don't belong here."

He tapped the metal bars and asked the owner beside him with a nasty grin, "Those wings look pretty good. How much to buy them?"

[Reader's Guide]

1. Top-focused, primarily from the top's perspective. Later chapters include a little of the bottom's perspective to help develop the plot.

2. Pink-haired, green-eyed, forced-into-retirement, formidable, handsome top Lu Rong x white-haired, golden-eyed, forced-into-retirement, fierce, only-listens-to-his-husband bottom Feiniye.

Author: Funny, how are you both forced into retirement?

Feiniye (drawing his blade)

Lu Rong (holding down the hand drawing the blade)

Feiniye (relaxing)

Author: ?

3. Lu Rong has a former fiance. Feiniye has no exes, but for certain reasons has had a temporary marking. Neither is each other's one and only, so please don't read if that bothers you.

4. Warning for physical abuse. Feiniye's country falls and he is captured; he goes through terrible things. But the beginning is the worst of it, and things get better afterward. I was going for a Hurt/Comfort kind of feel.

5. The cover was commissioned for Lu Rong, and Lu Rong is indeed the one depicted. Feiniye is a feathered serpent, with a human torso, a serpent's tail, and a pair of angel wings on his back. He has white hair, a white tail, and white-and-gold wings.

Revenge on My Nemesis, but I Woke Up in His Bed

[Both Alphas, bottom-focused, both virgins, straight-laced Alpha bottom who's easily provoked x gloomy, obsessive Alpha top who loves provoking people]

Fang Hangyue was reborn, returning to the day he left the police station after being framed.

In his previous life, his assistant had set him up. After drinking a glass of drugged water, he walked out the front entrance completely unaware. A crowd of reporters swarmed him, bombarding him with malicious questions, while his pheromones went out of control, causing serious consequences.

This time, Fang Hangyue avoided the spotlight and left through the underground parking garage. The reporters blocked his assistant, who had it coming. But...

Why had his rideshare turned out to be a Maybach?

The window rolled down, and Fang Hangyue saw someone who had once been reported dead: his nemesis, Xia Jiguang. That's right. At this point in time, Xia Jiguang was still alive.

In his previous life, the day Fang Hangyue learned of Xia Jiguang's death was New Year's Day in the bustling city of Haiyu. Amid the surging crowds, he felt utterly alone.

Now, reporters who seemed to be everywhere spotted him from behind and shouted from a distance, "Young Master Fang is here! Over here!"

Xia Jiguang remained calm and asked evenly, "Dare to get in, Fang Hangyue?"

Provoked, Fang Hangyue smiled lightly. Why wouldn't he dare?

Xia Jiguang had never imagined that Fang Hangyue, who was so hostile toward him, would one day get into his car.

He was a bug hiding in the shadows, yearning for the light. He followed it, watched it, recorded every shape it took, shapes visible only in the dark. But how could the light ever come near him?

He watched Fang Hangyue drugged unconscious in front of him, watched Fang Hangyue provoke him, watched Fang Hangyue sleep without a care, watched every retreating view of Fang Hangyue. His breathing grew heavy and wouldn't stop. Like a vine, he climbed Fang Hangyue's body. He wanted to... enter...

But Fang Hangyue, lost in a haze, sat up and slapped him. "Don't do anything unnecessary."

That only made him want it more.

Fang Hangyue realized that Xia Jiguang always got under his skin. He didn't like the possibility that Xia Jiguang might get together with an Omega. He didn't like Xia Jiguang refusing to answer his questions, turning down his invitations, or avoiding his touch.

That night, as darkness fell, drugs swallowed his reason and all his pent-up resentment erupted. Xia Jiguang had come to save him, but Fang Hangyue cornered him by the head of the bed, wearing a maid outfit as he straddled Xia Jiguang.

Why not get revenge on Xia Jiguang tonight? Fang Hangyue thought maliciously. What would a homophobic Alpha do if a man kissed him?

Watching Xia Jiguang's expression turn strange,

Fang Hangyue thought: I'm absolutely crushing it!

But... why did Xia Jiguang seem to be... hard? What happened to being homophobic?

The next day, Fang Hangyue woke up in bed with Xia Jiguang lying beside him.

He sat bolt upright in shock. I'm straight... right?
