[Here's a nuclear-powered, volatile scorpion beauty for you to check out. Wives, have a look at the first-draft blurb demo. Mwah!]
A femme fatale deserves a loyal puppy ^ ^
Also, this book should suit the tastes of readers who like really dark stuff. Very, very dark.
Yuebao has it rough, with lots of descriptions of illness and battle injuries.
I want to dote on a wicked, sickly beauty who's strong yet doomed, so the character setup is roughly:
A cold beauty who is maxed out in both combat prowess and intelligence, but is sinister and vicious (a genuinely wicked villain), an extreme egoist, and an absolute master at training dogs. The bottom x all kinds of bad dogs (mostly following a coercive romance route, though they'll all get beaten up; the official pairing might be a seemingly gloomy female ghost who turns into a loyal puppy the second the beauty crooks a finger, lets him slap her, and even eagerly licks his hand).
Lou Wangyue, the only Omega in the history of the Empire to become the military's chief commander, thanks to his exceptional genes and abilities.
Just like his name, he is cool and refined, like an immortal descended to earth, and just as lofty and untouchable as the bright moon.
The System tells him, "You're the villainous fake young master in an interstellar elite-family novel.
Before the real young master is found, you do everything you can to suppress him.
After he's found, you do everything you can to replace him.
You inflict devastating physical and emotional harm on the protagonist, driving him to the extreme of destroying the world.
Now, we've returned to the beginning of the story, before any of these tragedies happen. We need to find the real young master, and then..."
Lou Wangyue gives the villain's signature smile. "Take him out."
--
Everyone in the Empire knows that Lou Wangyue is a hypocrite, a rotten person on the inside who pretends to be above it all. He flits between several top-tier Alphas but never makes any promises.
After his identity as the fake young master is exposed, he's branded a traitor. Those around him make no effort to hide their desire for him.
His eldest brother stops him as he's thrown out of the house. "The Lou family has supported you all these years. It's only fair that I collect a little interest as your brother."
The Empire's heir fights for the throne on his behalf. "If you become my empress, I'll clear your name."
The desperately poor student he once mocked drags him into the mud. "Great. Now you can finally belong to me."
The Federation's leader, whom he once ambushed on the battlefield, offers him an olive branch. "You've betrayed the Empire. Where else can you go but the Federation?"
Fortunately, the real young master still has the protagonist's noble and upright virtues. He not only takes care of all Lou Wangyue's problems, but also helps him fake his death, without holding a grudge.
The moment they set foot on a desolate planet, the protagonist finally reveals his true face.
He holds Lou Wangyue close and murmurs by his ear, "Moon..."
"You're mine."
