Ascending to the throne at eighteen, not half a year passes before civil strife erupts in Yun Nan. Though the thoughts of the old guard at the imperial court are not exactly identical, they are all waiting to see how the new emperor will put an end to this.

Unexpectedly, before this side could make a move, a few thousand miles away, the King of Xi Nan, Duan Bai Yue, had already personally commanded troops to attack in all directions; not half a year had passed when peace was restored.

Sparse moonlight shines into the palace; Chu Yuan stamped the wax seal himself, and had a secret letter sent urgently to Yun Nan 800 miles away — this time, what must we(1) give in exchange?

Brush marks passed through the back of the paper; it almost can be seen, when writing this line, how angry the young emperor was.

Duan Bai Yue spread out a piece of paper unhurriedly, replying with only one word.

You.

Note (1): Chu Yuan is using the royal ‘we’ here.

Lu Zexuan: "............"

Qin Yuanxi found himself transmigrated into the puppet little emperor in the book, and the Prince Regent was an ambitious and far from peaceful ruler.

He claimed to be capable of eliminating traitors and reviving the court whenever needed. With such a powerful ally, Qin Yuanxi happily returned to the court, took his seat on the dragon chair, and gazed down before fainting.

Who would tell him if there was a bug in this book? Why did his loyal general bear an uncanny resemblance to the wolfish and ambitious regent who coldly observed him in court, as if ready to rebel at any moment?

【 Pure-hearted doggie Alpha x Rich and powerful CEO Omega 】 ... more>>

Ran Hang is a conscientious Alpha. He has never lost his temper with anyone since he was a child. The most outrageous thing he ever did was provide a temporary mark for an Omega who unexpectedly went into heat that night.

The man was dressed in a suit and leather shoes, exuding an aura of aloofness and abstinence from head to toe, but a hint of redness could be seen at the corner of his eyes.

Ran Hang blushed as he heard the long-forgotten beatings of his heart.
This fleeting heartbeat lasted only ten minutes, as the other person stuffed him a sum of money and left without looking back.

It wasn't until the man sought him out again and handed Ran Hang a temporary marking contract that Ran Hang learned the man's name.

——Huo Siming.
The heir to a top-tier wealthy family who holds the reins of City A's business district.

·
It is well known to everyone that Huo Siming, the newly-appointed heir to the Huanyu Group, has a weird temperament and a deep-seated dislike for Alphas. One day, someone heard through gossip that a young Alpha had been seen entering and exiting Huo Siming's private residence. Everyone was stunned and speculated about how miserable the fate of this Alpha would be.

However, someone saw the Alpha not only sitting in Huo Siming's luxury car intact, but also snatching the cigarette from the other person's hand, "Mr. Huo, didn't you agree to quit smoking?"
Huo Siming's expression was gloomy, but he didn't say anything and even allowed the other person to kiss the corner of his mouth.

Everyone: ...Impressive.

.
Huo Siming hated the smell of all Alpha pheromones, except Ran Hang.
At first, he just wanted a stable temporary marking partner.

In the end, the other person became more and more controlling later on:
"Mr. Huo, skipping breakfast is not good for your health."
"Mr. Huo, drinking on an empty stomach is not good for your health."
"Mr. Huo, smoking is not good for your health..."

Huo Siming, unable to bear it any longer, wanted to say, "Who do you think you are to control me like this?" Then, out of the corner of his eye, he saw a reminder pop up on his phone—a to-do item: get the marriage certificate.

He had no choice but to suppress his anger temporarily and take the person to get it done first.

Almost forgot.
He would have to tolerate him for a lifetime.

.
Gong is a 20-year-old male university student who is 188 cm in height and has eight-pack abs. He has a rather puppy-like personality, blushes easily, but is capable.
Shou is a real domineering boss with a bad temper.
