After the Sickly Beauty Marries as a Substitute

Xie Zhao transmigrates into a melodramatic romance about a wealthy family, becoming the green-tea, cannon-fodder Omega older brother of the protagonist, Xie An. Scheming, delicate, jealous, calculating, stupid, and wicked. When Xie An enters the Central Military Academy with the second-best score in the country, becoming the youngest Omega officer in history, Xie Zhao is busy navigating high society. He steals Xie An’s engagement to the protagonist Alpha and takes his place in the marriage. He becomes the obstacle to the protagonists’ beautiful love story, a doomed cannon-fodder ex-wife who barely gets a mention in the book. Xie Zhao: ... Xie Zhao calmly lies flat. On the day of the engagement ceremony, the hall is packed with guests. The music begins, and the bride and groom-to-be, blindfolded and leaning on canes, slowly make their way down the aisle. The crowd erupts. “Isn’t this Xie An and Yan Chengyi’s engagement ceremony? Why is it Xie Zhao??” “Xie Zhao even stole his own younger brother’s engagement. He really has no shame!” “Yan Chengyi likes Xie An and hates Xie Zhao just as much. Just wait, he’s going to humiliate him in a minute.” In the darkness, Xie Zhao hears the crowd talking and yawns, reluctantly recalling the protagonist Alpha, Yan Chengyi. From the legendary Yan family, he is an Alpha at the top of the nation’s business world. He took over the family business at twenty-two and is so talented and arrogant that he seems invincible. Everyone is secretly looking forward to Yan Chengyi brutally humiliating Xie Zhao. But on the other side, just as Yan Chengyi angrily prepares to take the stage, someone suddenly stops him. He turns around in disbelief. The young man, dressed in a black-and-gold military uniform and silent until now, slowly rises from the seat of honor. Smiling faintly, he takes the bouquet from Yan Chengyi and walks onto the stage. Everyone in the room: ?????? This is the Yan family’s young heir, a top-tier Alpha rumored to be a once-in-a-millennium genius, and the unrequited love of Xie An. The young man removes his military cap, revealing an impossibly handsome face. The aura of a top-tier Alpha instantly fills every corner of the room. Then he slowly drops to one knee and takes out a ring for Xie Zhao. Xie Zhao blinks: ...? Everyone: ??? Everyone: Holy shit???????? - Yan Wu, the Yan family’s young heir, was born a top-tier Alpha and inherited military rank, wealth, and honor. He entered the Central Military Academy with a score far ahead of everyone else, and topped a whole slew of rankings: most-wanted Alpha, Alpha most likely to turn other Alphas gay, devastatingly handsome, and unbelievably strong. Even when Xie An, the adored and admired “God Xie,” confessed his feelings, Yan Wu coldly rejected him. Everyone agreed that he was an untouchable flower on a lofty peak. Until one day Yan Wu showed up in a class at the College of Arts and sat beside Xie Zhao, the famously beautiful but useless Omega. Xie Zhao, exhausted, looked up with a frown and coldly told him to get lost. The young Alpha took the scolding without so much as a change of expression, calmly massaging Xie Zhao’s lower back. When Xie Zhao glanced up absentmindedly, Yan Wu’s fingertips brushed the hickey on his neck.
