After Betting on Stocks and Picking the Ultimate Villain A

Shen Yunjie transmigrated into a tragic ABO romance novel as a cannon-fodder Omega.

The protagonist Alpha is the imperial heir, deeply in love with a poor-born Omega he considers his one true love. Every day, he could make the entire empire pay for his love a hundred times over.

The cannon-fodder Omega married the protagonist Alpha in a family-arranged union, but never received even a scrap of affection from his spouse. Before long, the twelve star systems split apart, with one rebellion after another breaking out.

The beloved Omega died amid the struggle for power. The protagonist Alpha's love-struck brain went into overdrive, and he charged straight into enemy territory to perform a dramatic lovers' suicide. The cannon-fodder Omega, meanwhile, was taken as a spoil of war and imprisoned by the rebel leader who emerged victorious, then toyed with and killed after being overwhelmed by the other's maliciously released pheromones.

When Shen Yunjie arrived, he was still studying at a military academy. His marriage to the protagonist Alpha wasn't even close to being arranged, and the rebels hadn't come knocking yet. Looking at his perfect grades in every subject, Shen Yunjie thought: This tower's not exactly a shelter from the storm!

Why depend on the least capable protagonist in the whole story? Is it because he's an extreme Alpha, or because he's sexually useless?

The royal family is obviously unreliable, and there are so many people rebelling. Why not pick another side to back? At least that way, he could protect himself!

After refusing the crown prince's proposal, Shen Yunjie became a public enemy. When he was left homeless on the streets, countless greedy eyes fell upon him.

To protect himself, Shen Yunjie hired a group of unwanted, homeless Alpha men as bodyguards for next to nothing. Everyone thought he was crazy, and rumors about his promiscuous private life spread like wildfire.

But later, Shen Yunjie led his team in driving back monsters, defending cities, and reclaiming lost territory. He donned a general's uniform, and the homeless men at his side finally became famous names.

Only then did Shen Yunjie realize: Huh? Aren't these people the invincible Sisyphus Squad from the original story, the ones who came out on top in the end?

And why does the mark on the chest of Lian Jingming, the homeless gang leader said to have made his fortune by begging with his looks, look so much like the rebel leader who imprisoned him in the original story???

-

The tiger that guards the mountain, the swift leopard, the far-seeing eagle, the sly fox, and the battle-ready wolf.

That was what Shen Yunjie thought the Sisyphus Special Forces were like.

But after meeting their captain, Lian Jingming, Shen Yunjie discovered the truth: a fish that slacks off, a bucket that holds rice, a hero who takes the blame, a drum that calls off the performance, and... a machine that pounds away.

And yet this was the unshakable line of defense for the people of the empire.

Shen Yunjie, the military's mysterious and noble legendary Omega, was delicate and helpless, yet brilliant in both emotional and intellectual intelligence. His strategic skills struck fear into his enemies.

Countless people coveted his beauty and pheromones, but his methods kept them at a distance.

Lian Jingming, however, always managed to block his way back between battles, holding a thornless rose in his teeth amid billowing smoke and saying cheekily, "Baby, for old times' sake, when we were so compatible, don't go dark, okay?"

Whenever that happened, Shen Yunjie remembered all the dark, crawling tricks Lian Jingming had used on him when he was a rebel leader, and his fists clenched hard.

But when he looked at Lian Jingming's face and breathed in the lingering, entwined pheromones in the air, his fists softened again.
