Ruan Leyong has F-rank mental power, but is a proud, handsome alpha adored by everyone.
Xiao Mingchi is a rare S-rank, yet an ordinary, unremarkable beta.
Just the day before, Ruan Leyong had looked down on Xiao Mingchi from his lofty perch.
The next day, he received a government order:
The nation is entering wartime. Those with mental power below C-rank are on their own.
Then, on the screen, in the corner of the military cabinet behind the Marshal, he saw a familiar face. It was none other than Xiao Mingchi, the man he had looked down on.

Overnight, Ruan Leyong went from being adored by everyone to having crippled mental power. All the useless friends who had surrounded him scattered.
Xiao Mingchi, once an ignored follower, transformed into a rising star in the military. The line of people bringing gifts to his home stretched from the south of the city to the north.
Ruan Leyong locked himself in his room and went three days and nights without food or water.
Three days later, someone knocked on the Ruan family's door for the first time.
When it opened, a man in a regulation military uniform stood outside, two stars already on his shoulder straps.
It was Xiao Mingchi.
Clothes make the man. He was unexpectedly tall and handsome, and looked every bit the part.
Ruan Leyong glanced at him and asked coolly, "Did you come to show off or laugh at me?"
The beta, half a head taller than him, silently held the door in place and handed him a piece of paper.
It was a compulsory marriage order.
"Marry me." In the freezing cold, Xiao Mingchi glanced at Ruan Leyong's slightly reddened eyes, lowered his gaze, and reached out to him. "I'll protect you and make sure your glory endures."
Xiao Mingchi wasn't a beta. He was an enigma.
No one knew much about the traits of this mysterious, special gender.
So when Xiao Mingchi told Ruan Leyong that he'd sought him out because they were a 100% match, and that sex could improve both their mental powers, Ruan Leyong believed him.
Then, three years later, Ruan Leyong started throwing up on the battlefield.
Ruan Leyong took a deep breath. Xiao Mingchi, you @#¥%#¥#!
They had married for mutual benefit, not love. After cursing him out, Ruan Leyong was going to get the baby aborted.
The doctor hurried to stop him. General Xiao had once staked his life to force the Marshal to approve their marriage. How could he possibly have no feelings for you?
Ruan Leyong fumed: But he chose me because we were a 100% match!
The doctor looked surprised. But an enigma can turn anyone into an omega who is a 100% match for him.
Ruan Leyong: Oh.
Ruan Leyong: ...What???
*
Waking with a start in the middle of the night, Ruan Leyong thought it over and still couldn't let it go. He sat up and confronted the man beside him, who had stayed awake all night rubbing his stomach. So I'd been tricked into marrying you all along?
Xiao Mingchi smiled wickedly. I'll accept any scolding or punishment, my dear. Don't get worked up and put strain on the baby.
An enigma pretending to be a beta, a sly wolf in sheep's clothing gong x a glamorous, proud, aristocratic alpha shou. The lower-ranking partner rises to power, and their positions are reversed.
In this setting, the omega traits only manifest during sex and pregnancy. Otherwise, he remains a standard alpha.
