Starting with a Dragon Egg, I Take the Galaxy by Storm

[Please add my upcoming novel, "The Pitiful Omega, but the Strongest Healer", to your reading list!]

Lan Ming is a cute-pet streamer. To grow his channel, he piggybacks on a trending tag for a sci-fi novel about alien beasts, only to transmigrate into the book as a dragon egg.

In a thousand years, he’ll grow into a world-ending evil dragon and be killed by the original novel’s overpowered male lead.

But right now, Lan Ming has an eggshell on his head, tiny claws, and a chubby tail. When he tries to breathe fire, all he can produce is a tiny snowflake.

And that’s not even mentioning his from the start being stranded on a barren planet, where alien beasts roam and resources are scarce. He can barely keep himself alive.

For the sake of freeloading (crossed out) surviving until the original story begins, Lan Ming starts livestreaming himself being adorable and begging for donations.

Lin Zhijian, the overpowered male lead of the novel, transmigrates from a thousand years in the future to stop the evil dragon from destroying the world, only to discover that the dragon livestreams every day and its location is unknown.

To meet the evil dragon in person and defeat him, Lin Zhijian spends a fortune and becomes the top donor.

When they finally meet, the evil dragon has turned into a handsome white-haired boy with red eyes. He gazes up at Lin Zhijian with sparkling eyes. “Big brother, you’re so handsome.”

Lin Zhijian: .

When space pirates attack, Lan Ming hides behind him. “Waaah, I’m scared. Can you protect me?”

Lin Zhijian: ..

While being fed dragon jerky, Lan Ming chomps away. “I feel like everything you feed me tastes especially good.”

Lin Zhijian: ...

Why does this dragon have such a sweet, scheming streak?

It’s pretty charming, too.

And so, without realizing it, the story becomes "How I, the Overpowered Male Lead, Came to Kill My Arch-Enemy, Only to Make Him My Wife".

"The Pitiful Omega, but the Strongest Healer"

Reborn as an Omega deemed unfit by the White Tower, Ji Rong puts on a show of sobbing while inwardly rejoicing.

Disabled legs? Genetic defects? Low fertility?

Perfect! Now he has every reason to spend his life lazing around!

Just as Ji Rong is planning where to enjoy a peaceful retirement, free from pollutants, the White Tower turns around and sends him to Shen Lanruo, a top-tier enforcer with a 99% compatibility rate.

The very person said to spend every day on the front lines containing pollutants, work year-round without a break, and treat home like a hotel.

Ji Rong isn’t happy about it, but he has no choice but to accept the White Tower’s arrangement.

On the first day he’s brought back to the mansion, Shen Lanruo hands him a marriage contract. “Fulfill your duties as my partner, and I’ll make sure you’re provided for. I have only one condition: there must be no emotional entanglement between us.”

Ji Rong, whose emotional record is a blank slate, sees nothing wrong with this. He understands that all they need to do is maintain the appearance of a relationship, so he signs without the slightest hesitation.

His meals, housing, and expenses are covered, and his husband never comes home.

As for emotional entanglement…

He couldn’t care less.

*

Everyone knows Shen Lanruo is aloof and indifferent, harsh and sharp-tongued, and never easy to approach.

No one ever imagined he could be moved by anything, much less that he had been secretly in love with his senior, Ji Rong, for a long time.

Ji Rong dies unexpectedly on a mission. Shen Lanruo is devastated. When he learns that Ji Rong’s only gland was donated to the Omega standing before him, Shen Lanruo accepts the White Tower’s match for the first time. All he wants is to carefully cherish the proof that Ji Rong once lived.

The little Omega smells of citrus, just like Ji Rong. He loves desserts and sewing, just like Ji Rong. He gets mischievous from time to time, just like Ji Rong… Just like him in every way.

Shen Lanruo massages the little Omega’s injured legs. The Omega’s teary eyes, the way he kicks at him, the tone of his voice… Everything is exactly like Ji Rong.

Shen Lanruo’s heart trembles.

He realizes… Ji Rong has truly come back.

He stops suppressing his feelings and soon coaxes him into bed. He marks him, marries him, and can’t wait to have children with him.

Ji Rong’s legs are as limp as boneless noodles as Shen Lanruo arranges him into all sorts of shameful positions. In tears, he protests, “Weren’t Omegas supposed to have no healing abilities? Stop… You’re going too far…”

Shen Lanruo pulls him back, hugging and soothing him. “Baby, my pollution level is rising again. Save me.”

*

His colleagues at the Abnormality Management Bureau soon learn that Shen Lanruo has married a little Omega.

Delicate little desserts start appearing on Shen Lanruo’s desk, and cute little toys adorn his briefcase. The former workaholic even starts clocking out right on time every day to go home, and his stubbornly high pollution level is gradually falling.

His colleagues grow envious and soon discover:

Eat one bite of dessert, pollution level -10.

Hug one little toy, pollution level -20…

His colleagues get ideas: Could you get your wife to…

Shen Lanruo: Don’t even think about it.

[Bonus Scene]

Once Shen Lanruo lets loose, he’s like a wild beast. Ji Rong cries and scrambles away. “You said Omegas didn’t have healing abilities! No… That’s too much…”

Shen Lanruo pulls him back and hugs and coaxes him. “Baby, my pollution level is high again. Save me.”
