The Thornbird

One-line synopsis: After accidentally marking my unrequited love, I ran away for ten years. When I returned, she already had my child and was preparing to rebel and claim the throne. Note 1: ABO setting. Note 2: One of the female leads is a living planet. ABO is just the backdrop; the core is romance with non-human beings. After differentiating as a D-rank alpha, Shen Li became the infamous useless heir of the Marquis household. But with a soul from Blue Star, when faced with a choice between fighting for power at home and joining the military, she chose to explore the stars. The year she planned to escape the Empire during her sophomore military training, an accident happened: she marked an omega. The omega was named Chu Qingyi. Rumor had it she had 3S-level psychic powers. She was beautiful and kind, born into nobility, the dream girl of everyone at the Imperial Military Academy, and the crown princess's chosen consort. What a hot potato! Fortunately, Chu Qingyi had no intention of making her take responsibility, either. After three nights together, Shen Li turned and ran. But just after she said goodbye, someone grabbed her. “Wait…” Shen Li looked down and saw a face so perfect it was almost bewitching. Chu Qingyi clutched her military uniform, her pale fingers flushed red. “I have some authority in the Duke's household. Let me see you off.” She said she would see her off once, but Chu Qingyi kept seeing her off again and again. Just as they were about to return to the Empire, Shen Li knocked her unconscious, dropped her off at a police station, and happily went off to conquer the stars and seas. Ten years later, an accidental jump sent unlucky Shen Li hurtling into a battlefield. Chu Qingyi, now a battleship's bridge commander, recognized her at a glance and brought her aboard. At first, Shen Li was delighted to see an old acquaintance. That is, until Chu Qingyi took a video call beside her one day. On screen, a sweet little kid of about eight called her Mommy. Shen Li glanced over, eyes wide with shock. What?! Chu Qingyi smiled and looked away from her wrist computer. “Do they look alike? They're yours and mine.” Shen Li: Terrified.jpg! But things got even more shocking. Chu Qingyi smiled seductively. “The imperial family was thrown into chaos over this child back then. Even so, the new emperor still won't give up. She wants me to become her empress.” “I hate this.” Chu Qingyi reached out and touched Shen Li's horrified face, her voice coaxing. “So, will you help me…” “Stage a rebellion together?” This story is all about a loving wife, a child, and a warm home!! A mechanic alpha who only wants to soar through the universe x an omega queen who appears to be a saint but is wickedly alluring inside Next book: “Tethering the Star” (prequel to “Thorned Birds”) Prequel to “Thorned Birds”: “Tethering the Star” Fake sister-in-law romance, a story about a puppy submitting to a wicked woman. Note: The top's second-evolution form has tentacles. Shen Xingyuan first met Bo Qingyu at the masquerade ball during the Harvest Festival on Zhuque Star. The woman wore a red dress and a silver mask. With her female companion's arm in hers, she danced beside the bonfire. Her swirling red dress leaped alongside the flames into Shen Xingyuan's heart. At twenty-five, Shen Xingyuan fell in love with her at first sight. She worked up the courage to approach and ask the woman for a dance. She never expected to spend a wildly romantic, dreamlike month with her. A month later, the woman was pregnant. They agreed to marry in the cathedral once Shen Xingyuan had finished her mission. But the mission went wrong. Shen Xingyuan fought her way back to Zhuque Star, only to find that the woman had vanished without a trace. Four years later, after the Amber Duke's second daughter died unexpectedly, Shen Xingyuan, the only alpha born to the duke's sixth daughter, was brought back to the ducal estate. There, she met Bo Qingyu again. In the ducal estate's back garden, the woman sat in the bright sunshine, holding a little girl and gently reading a collection of poems. She wore a fitted, ivory-white fishtail dress with thin straps. Her long, black curls fell over her shoulders like seaweed, and her expression was tender. Shen Xingyuan's heart began pounding. “Who is that woman?” She hurriedly asked. The steward accompanying her replied respectfully, “That is Miss Xingzhuo's widow, Miss Bo Qingyu.” “By family custom, you should call her your elder sister-in-law.” As they spoke, the woman in the garden looked up and cast them a cool, indifferent glance. The instant their eyes met, Shen Xingyuan looked at her distant expression, and felt her blood catch fire. That evening, the ducal estate held a raucous welcome banquet. In an overlooked corner, Shen Xingyuan grabbed Bo Qingyu by the wrist and pinned her behind a curtain. “What should I call you? Mrs. Shen? Elder sister-in-law? Or Miss Bo?” “Are you going to explain? Whose child did you give birth to?” The eldest grandson had died, and the second granddaughter, Shen Feiyi, was illegitimate. Just as everyone believed the dukedom would pass to Shen Xingyuan, an unexpected turn of events changed everything. At the family dinner, Shen Xingyuan, who had joined the family halfway through, looked across the table at her widowed sister-in-law, dressed in plain clothes with her eyes lowered, and gave a knowing smile. “Wasn't the title originally meant for Eldest Sister?” “Now that she's passed away, her child should inherit the title. Besides, Grandmother is still hale and hearty. There's no need to rush into choosing an heir while you can wait for your great-grandchild to grow up.” Bo Qingyu, a quiet, overlooked presence in the household, looked up at her, her expression unreadable. That night, Bo Qingyu sat on the edge of the bed in a loose dressing gown and gazed quietly at the shadowy corner of the room. “Why did you do that?” “I want…” The tall alpha emerged from the shadows and knelt on the bed, taking Bo Qingyu's hand. A trace of madness glimmered in her eyes. “Sister, tether me.” Don't leave me. Don't abandon me. Stay with me forever. Be mine forever… my master. She guided the other woman's hand to tighten around her throat, her expression lovesick and infatuated. Just like five years ago. Everyone thought Shen Xingyuan was using Bo Qingyu and her orphaned child as a shield in the succession struggle. It was only later that they realized Bo Qingyu wasn't a shield. Shen Xingyuan was the real dog. Her widowed sister-in-law pointed, and she attacked. Whoever her sister-in-law pointed at, she would bite: a mad dog through and through. At first, the top is an obedient, devoted puppy. Later, after a series of events, she becomes a dark, unhinged mess who bites handkerchiefs every day and holds grudges if anyone so much as looks at her wife. She really is crazy. The bottom is a black lotus who starts out independent, then goes dark, following a revenge plot. The child is the top's. The bottom and the top's sister were never married, so there's no ethical issue. The top and bottom truly love each other, and they're both hopeless romantics who fall for each other wholeheartedly. (?><?) It's such a good pairing! Come on in! Friendly reminder: The alpha has no accessories. Theme: The only thing you need to do in life is fulfill your potential.

The scumbag male lead turned over a new leaf, swearing to devote himself to the female lead alone. The scumbag male lead number two dropped to one knee and offered her everything, just to win a smile from the beauty. The scumbag male lead number three looked at her with sorrowful eyes. “As long as you're happy, I'll be happy for you.” The female lead let out a cold laugh, kicked the scumbags away, pulled out a ring, and spoke tenderly to her villainous rival in love. “Darling, will you marry me?” Yin Shaoqing: “???” This female lead… should I bury her?!
