A Confession of Misconduct

Ming Que has lost his memory.

According to his so-called “guardian,” he's a 24-year-old omega, married, formerly a painter, and now a famous professional househusband throughout District A.

His husband, Ji Weiyao, is the warden of an interstellar prison, an S-class alpha, and a former interstellar general who once fought on the front lines.

Ming Que's daily routine is to exchange morning kisses with his husband, sleep in, eat, paint, and bask in the sun. Then, when his husband comes home, they spend the night making love until dawn.

Though he can't remember anything and finds this life a little unfamiliar, Ming Que is fairly satisfied.

Aside from being taciturn and swamped with work, Ji Weiyao seems to have no flaws.

He's pretty good in bed, too.

There's just one problem: Ji Weiyao always finds some excuse to refuse to let him go out, and turns away all visitors as well.

In his third month back home, Ming Que starts to get bored.

So, on an ordinary evening, he opens the front door that Ji Weiyao keeps locked.

To his surprise, there is no wonderful world outside, only layers upon layers of protective shields, woven into the illusion of an ordinary, cozy home.

Beyond the illusion lies a ruined wasteland shrouded in smoke.

Ming Que's fingers touch the final layer of the protective system. In an instant, the danger alarm blares, unleashing an intense, shrill warning.

The next second, the guns of countless patrol guards are pointed at his forehead.

It's the top-level red alert for a wanted interstellar war criminal.

Ming Que is the most troublesome fugitive in the entire interstellar realm.

He's ill-tempered, elusive, and never does things by the book. One moment he might be sincerely repenting, and the next he vanishes without a trace.

The one who finally captures him is prison warden Ji Weiyao.

Once again caught and brought into the interrogation room, the beautiful omega with an off-the-charts danger rating is strapped into the interrogation chair.

Ming Que stares speechlessly at the room decorated like a little girl's princess bedroom. “Are you a child? To mess with me, you even wiped my memory and pretended to be my husband, going against your conscience and holding back your disgust. You...”

“I didn't go against my conscience.”

Ji Weiyao lowers the panel over the monitoring console and switches off the cameras. As he undoes his collar with one hand, he strokes Ming Que's hair and makes him lift his face with a hint of force. “And I wasn't holding back any disgust.”

“All the evil deeds I have committed in the past, born of beginningless greed, anger, and ignorance, through body, speech, and mind, I now repent of them all.”

Cool, taciturn, secretly passionate prison warden alpha gong X world-weary, unhinged beauty fugitive omega shou

Reader's guide:

1. Both leads are virgins and each other's first love. Age gap, older gong. The gong used to be the shou's teacher and raised him.

2. A little Mr. and Mr. Smith.

3. Mild coercion, just a bit of couple's play.

4. All interstellar worldbuilding is fictional and original. Please don't apply it to real life.

5. The gong believes in gods and buddhas, but he's not one of those Beijing socialites who rolls Buddhist prayer beads wherever he goes. (Fist salute)
