[Blurb]
On the day of the 12th graduating class's ceremony at the Interstellar Alliance Training Camp, the palace on Vermilion Bird Star was attacked. Within half a day, the Chu family's royal power had fallen, and the Huo family had taken its place.
Chu Ai gave a speech as the outstanding graduate representative. As thunderous applause filled the auditorium, a bullet came whistling toward her, aimed straight at her life.
A pillar behind her was mercilessly pierced through, while scraps of paper drifted down from above.
At the back of the crowd, Huo Tong strode forward against the light, laughing as he held up his gun. "Chu Ai, look! This is my graduation present to you!"
The girl onstage caught one of the sheets. It clearly showed the gruesome deaths of her parents and elder brother.
They had died with grievances, their eyes unable to close.
Without warning, her "heart value" surged the next second. The papers that had just landed shot into the air, and the force rebounded upon every teacher and student in the auditorium. Not one escaped. They all fell to their knees.
As if their sovereign had returned.
Leaning on his gun, Huo Tong could barely kneel. He spat out a huge mouthful of blood, looking like a demon from hell. "What an incredible ability. But you can't escape... Hahahaha!"
As soon as he finished speaking, deafening roars came from overhead. Hundreds of spaceships equipped with the most powerful weapons in the galaxy gathered there, all for Chu Ai.
The Huo family wanted to eradicate every last trace of her, even at the cost of violating the agreement between the interstellar nations to "never interfere with the Alliance Training Camp."
It was the end of autumn, 3605.
Three years after the incident was settled, rumors spread through the underground city that a "heart-gift" genius had appeared in the West District, accompanied by a ferocious "tyrant" who didn't talk much but hit people especially hard.
In just a month, the two had become the underground city's most sought-after mercenary team. They were a small crew with high rates, and no matter how difficult the job, they never failed.
Even the regular army in the royal city had heard of them.
Huo Qi had heard all this from his colleagues.
He was a member of a collateral branch of the Huo royal family on Vermilion Bird Star. As a royal relative and an alpha, getting an easy, idle job would have been simple. Instead, he chose to become a doctor, earning a meager salary while giving handouts to the poor in the underground city.
One day, as usual, he went to the underground city to provide free medical care. On the way, he happened to come across an omega on the verge of death. Her beauty shone through the blood covering her body. He took her to the surface for treatment, but the first thing she did when she woke was hold a short blade to the most vulnerable part of his neck, his gland.
"Who are you?" Chu Ai's voice was cold, like that of a bloodthirsty beast.
Huo Qi wasn't worried. He casually slipped his hands into his pockets. "Huo Qi. Qi, as in rising again."
He pushed her knife aside without a care and said calmly, "You were marked by a close relative, and your gland is damaged. I helped you, so you should say thank you."
As soon as he finished speaking, Chu Ai collapsed. Huo Qi swiftly caught her, only then realizing how frighteningly hot she was.
And there was a strong smell of blood.
"Is this your pheromone?" he asked, belatedly widening his eyes in disbelief. "Are you in heat?!"
