After Being Forced to Seek Refuge with My Nemesis

Chang Si had endured years of hardship on the battlefield, only to be betrayed by his own teacher just before returning home.

He perished in a sea of flames in space.

For years, teacher and student had gotten along wonderfully. Born a commoner, Chang Si had always held his teacher in the highest regard and never disobeyed him.

His years of risking life and limb had also helped his teacher secure the position of the empire's most powerful military official.

In doing so, he had become a thorn in the imperial family's side, a target they desperately wanted to eliminate.

But later, his teacher said:

"What makes you think you deserve any of this? You're not even the lowest-ranking noble. You're just someone who grew up in the dirt."

"...You deserve nothing."

When Chang Si opened his eyes again, he had gone from being a top-tier Alpha to an [artificial human] Omega in a cultivation tank.

A "possession" with no rights, no self, no dignity, completely under its owner's control.

With nowhere else to turn, he had no choice but to seek out his former "enemy":

the Crown Prince of the Empire.

-

As the empire's marshal, Zhongli Hui was born into one of the most powerful families. Since his youth, he had been one of the empire's brightest stars.

There were only two blemishes in Zhongli Hui's life:

One was that he had taken a commoner from the lowest social class as his student.

The other was that he had been defeated by that commoner student.

But Zhongli Hui never cared.

Everyone knew that Zhongli Hui loved his student most of all.

Yet no one could have imagined that one day, Zhongli Hui himself would send his student to his death.

Why are there always so many people looking at you?

The young man had been radiant in battle, one hand resting on his earpiece. Even with half his face covered by a helmet, the glimpse of his snow-white jaw and the red curve of his lips still drove countless people wild.

Only Zhongli Hui was displeased.

He had personally strangled the rose he had nurtured, grinding him into the dirt and humiliating him without mercy.

But when he returned from the battlefield with his new student, he saw that the young man, who should have been asleep in a tank of nutrient solution, had appeared at the Crown Prince's birthday banquet.

The Crown Prince, who had always looked down on everyone, teased him with interest. "Want to be my future empress?"

Zhongli Hui nearly crushed the terminal in his hand.

-

The Crown Prince of the Empire had always been the picture of perfection.

Born to the union of the imperial family and a powerful noble house, the eldest son was a top-tier Alpha by birth and had inherited his ancestors' looks flawlessly.

There were only two things:

The arrogant, conceited, utterly self-important personality he had also inherited from his ancestors.

And his lack of interest in getting close to Omegas, to the point that the whole empire knew he was frigid.

People often joked that he was an ascetic monk from hell.

Of the seven deadly sins, six regularly scored off the charts. Only lust remained at zero.

Yet only the central terminal, which monitored his physical data around the clock, knew how many notices it had sent him telling him to abstain.

The Crown Prince, his clothes in disarray and only the bottom button of his shirt fastened, smiled lazily.

"Am I the only one who has to abstain? I see."

As he spoke, he flexed his wrist, especially the ten long, slender fingers.

The empire's central control System, which had maintained absolute rationality since its creation:

"…"

Did you think I said it would harm your body because I was worried about your body?

You bastard!

Cool and aloof (?) but resilient, tragic beauty of a bottom

Arrogant, insufferable Crown Prince top

[Reader's Notes]

The second male lead taking the top spot is just a general plot hook. The bottom doesn't love his teacher.

It's still basically a story about a couple falling in love.

Happy ending / both are virgins
