Marshal Qing Lan, hailed as the "Sword of the Empire," actually proposed to someone! And then... got rejected.
Countless admirers were glad their idol was still single, while marveling at the hard-heartedness of the person she'd proposed to. In the end, they all reached the same conclusion:
"Betas really don't understand romance, and that includes Major General Bai!"
"Let that beta spend the rest of his life married to his work. Sister Lan, look at me instead!"
Qing Lan closed her StarNet with an expressionless face and quietly cleaned up the mess. But before long, the unlucky major general she'd fished out of a distant star system underwent a transformation from beta to omega.
What? You're telling me my all-around adjutant, who can handle any occasion, cook better than an A, work harder than a B, and do ten things at once, is actually a "helpless, delicate omega"?
Qing Lan stood petrified in the wind.

Bai Yuhuai is the Empire's youngest beta major general. He should have had a bright future and a smooth path to success, but instead his superior suppressed him, pushed him out of the combat division, and banished him to a distant star system.
Just as he was losing hope and preparing to accept a family-arranged marriage for his mother's sake, a transfer order suddenly landed in front of him.
He became the Imperial Marshal's adjutant.
Marshal Qing Lan once destroyed the Empire's largest illegal experimental facility single-handedly. Since then, she has purged the rebels and rebuilt the defense lines. In the eyes of the people, she is the undisputed "Sword of the Empire."
But... the Sword of the Empire is famously "omega-phobic and alpha-averse." Her best-known quote is, "Betas are the world's greatest treasure."
Bai Yuhuai, a beta on the surface but an omega in truth, can only tremble and guard his secret identity, lest the furious marshal send him before a military tribunal.
But his secret identity was exposed all the same, without warning.
Bai Yuhuai stood before his former superior in shame. "Marshal, I'll leave the legion of my own accord so I won't cause you any trouble."
Qing Lan sighed as she looked at him, then gently pinned the glass flower of honor to his chest. "Major General, you have brought honor to the Seventh Legion."
