Zuo Shihuan had lived over ten years as a low-level Beta in the slums, mother absent and father unknown.
After surviving a genetic disease by sheer luck, he suddenly underwent secondary differentiation into an Alpha, and was found by his wealthy biological father.
In a society where Alpha rights reigned supreme, only Alphas could inherit in the Zuo family, while Betas and Omegas were mere attachments.
That wealthy father had dozens of illegitimate children, but they were all Betas and Omegas. What he desperately lacked was an Alpha heir.
By virtue of being an Alpha, Zuo Shihuan became the sole heir of the prestigious family.
The very first thing after returning to the wealthy household—blind date.
At the meeting, the two families conversed harmoniously, and just like that, he was engaged to a rich and beautiful Omega he barely knew.
Zuo Shihuan felt lost. Was he truly going to spend his entire life with a stranger Omega?
Who could have guessed, the fiancée told him on the very first day that they already had someone they liked, even dragging him to an underground bar to point out a pretty-faced Alpha scumbag.
Coincidentally enough.
Zuo Shihuan, too, fell in love at first sight—with a noble and striking Beta.
From then on, Zuo Shihuan began watching over this pitiful Beta with a tragic background, helping him evade the pursuit of mysterious forces, protecting him, even unwittingly bringing him into the Zuo family…
In the end, Zuo Shihuan surrendered—he had fallen for this Beta. He began pursuing him with no regard for consequences: breaking off the engagement, eloping with him, renouncing his heir status, doing everything against his family’s will for this Beta!
He was even willing, as an Alpha, to be the one beneath a Beta.
But then—
On the day the Empire attacked—
Amidst the fleeing crowds, Zuo Shihuan desperately searched for Gu Heng’s figure, only to see on the giant screen the Empire’s Crown Prince personally leading the army in a mech assault.
The Crown Prince’s face—was Gu Heng!
He was an Alpha, not even a Beta!
Gu Heng had deceived him so miserably. Had he approached just to use him, to steal Zuo family secrets? Yet Zuo Shihuan had cherished him like a fool.
Zuo Shihuan abandoned his so-called pursuit of true love. At that moment, his former fiancée came back in tears, saying she had been tricked by a scumbag too—and was even pregnant. And that scumbag turned out to be Gu Heng’s accomplice.
Zuo Shihuan sneered.
Wasn’t he, an Alpha, also tricked by a scumbag?
But the greater irony was—Zuo Shihuan discovered he was pregnant too!!!
Years later.
The original planet now belonged to the Empire.
A changed Zuo Shihuan attended a banquet, hand in hand with his Omega spouse.
The always noble and proud Crown Prince of the Empire faltered, eyes darkening as he walked toward him, only to hear the man introducing the Omega at his side:
“This is my newlywed spouse. At home, we have two young children who couldn’t come.”
Gu Heng froze.
