Ch 2 : The Ge'er's Escape

By -
With a mere lift of his hand, a document appeared in his grasp.  “Is this what you mean, Village Chief?” He handed the document over. The Village Chief reached out, took it, opened it, and examined it carefully.  “Exactly this.” After reviewing it, he returned the document to the man and turned to address the villagers, clarifying the man's identity.  “Ling Cang, from the capital. His family has been in trade for generations.” The Clan Leader nodded upon hearing this.  “If that's the case, then the young man may reside temporarily in Yunxi Village.” “Thank you very much then,”  Divine Emperor Ling Cang said with a smile, cupping his hands in thanks. His smile was like a warm spring breeze, dazzling everyone present. “Might there be any uninhabited houses in the village? I would like to purchase one,”  Ling Cang asked with a smile. Before entering the mortal realm, he had observed this area; the scenery was excellent and it seemed a good place for living and...

18. Settled— Proposal Next March

By -

The Earth God entered the courtyard and followed Ming Xi to Ling Cang's side. 

"Y-Young Master."

Ling Cang gave an acknowledging hum.

Ming Xi rolled up a couplet that Ling Cang had written and dried, handing it to the Earth God. 

"Here you go. The New Year isn't complete without pasting Spring Festival couplets."

The Earth God received it with trembling hands. 

"Thank you, Young Lord."

Just like that, the Earth God became a frequent visitor to the courtyard, coming every few days to beg a cup of tea. Gradually, he also came to understand the Divine Emperor Ling Cang's feelings for the young ge'er.





Capital, Cao Residence.

Ming Li holding a writing brush, composing couplets. 

Cao Jun sat to one side, brewing hot tea for Shu Ge'er.

"I wonder how Xi'er is doing. He's never spent the New Year away from home before," Shu Ge'er said.

Cao Jun: "Perfect, Ming Li is here too. Why don't we check in on them?"

Ming Li leaned over. "Good idea, good idea!"

Cao Jun called out "Xi'er" three times, and a mirror image appeared. 

Ming Xi was lying on a bed, a white cloth on his forehead, his face flushed red.

Shu Ge'er shot to his feet. "What's wrong? What happened?"

Ling Cang answered, "Xi'er suddenly developed a fever yesterday."

Cao Jun calculated something on his fingers. "Oh no. Xi'er's heat cycle has come."

Shu Ge'er: "How could it be so early? According to the normal timeline, his first heat shouldn't be this early."

Ming Li temporarily set aside his amazement at the magical image. A ge'er's heat was crucial, which is why suitable husbands were generally found beforehand. A heat typically lasted three days. How would Ming Xi endure these three days?

In the past, their father often educated him and Ming Qi about these matters, believing it was common knowledge everyone should know.

"Dad, are there other ways to alleviate a ge'er's heat?"

Shu Ge'er shook his head. 

"No. Other methods would severely damage Xi'er's health. They can't be used unless it's absolutely necessary."

Cao Jun looked at Ling Cang. "Have you given him any highly potent tonics recently?"

Ling Cang was taken aback for a moment, then instantly understood. 

It was because he ate the flat peaches that his heat came early.

He nodded. "It was my oversight. He did eat some."

Cao Jun was speechless. 

How potent must they be to bring a heat expected in three years forward so early?

"Do you like Xi'er?"

Ling Cang nodded. "I like him." 

If I didn't, I might have already returned to the celestial realm.

Cao Jun said, "Then there are two paths now. One, you help him through his heat and get married after the New Year. The other..."

"...is to suppress it with medicine, but it will damage his foundation. We are Xi'er's fathers. We want least of all to see him suffer."

"But if you have no intention towards him, then don't touch him." Cao Jun stared at Ling Cang, speaking seriously.

Ling Cang gently stroked Ming Xi's cheek. 

"I am willing to help him. But I need to hear him say whether he wants me or not."

He leaned down and kissed Ming Xi's forehead. "Xi'er. Xi'er."

Ming Xi slowly opened his eyes, tears welling in them. "Ling Cang, I feel so unwell." 

He reached out, asking Ling Cang to hold him.

Ling Cang bent down and picked him up. "Xi'er, your heat has come early. Do you..." He paused.

"...want me?"

Ming Xi nodded dazedly. "I do, I do. I like Ling Cang the most."

"Then will you be my husband?" Ling Cang turned him slightly, looking into his eyes and asking seriously.

Ming Xi sniffled. "Yes."

Ling Cang flicked his sleeve, and the connection to the Cao residence via the mirror image severed.

Ling Cang held him and kissed him. Because Ming Xi's heat had arrived, he was extremely clingy, his arms wrapping around Ling Cang's neck, responding to his kiss.

Ling Cang swiftly removed Ming Xi's clothes. In an instant, he was like a fish, allowing Ling Cang to arrange him as he wished.

Ling Cang particularly loved kissing the floral mark on his collarbone. Ming Xi whimpered softly, unable to bear the sensation, his skin flushed a captivating pink from arousal. Ling Cang's kisses grew more fervent, moving downward, igniting sparks of fire wherever they landed.

Ming Xi's breathing became increasingly rapid, his fingers unconsciously clutching Ling Cang's back.

"Ling Cang~"

"I'm here."

"It hurts."

"Be good, it will stop hurting soon."



...



Ling Cang felt his passion, his movements becoming more urgent. The atmosphere in the room was intensely ambiguous. The candlelight flickered, illuminating their entwined figures.

After who knows how long, Ling Cang finally stopped, holding Ming Xi tightly in his arms, delicately kissing his brows and eyes. Their heartbeats intertwined.



Cao Residence.

Ming Li paced back and forth. Shu Ge'er and Cao Jun also sat in the room. 

"Should we try again?" They had already tried over ten times. It seemed the other side had intentionally cut off their "video call."

"Wait a bit longer before trying," Cao Jun said.

After a while, the image from the other side came through. Both were dressed in snow-white inner garments. Ling Cang held a limp Xi'er in his arms. The marks at his collar showed clearly what had just happened.

Shu Ge'er: "Xi'er."

Ling Cang pulled the quilt up higher. "He's much better now. You don't need to worry."

"Next March, I will prepare betrothal gifts and come to the Cao residence to propose. In five days, you can go to Pine Mountain in the north. That is my meeting gift for everyone." 

Ling Cang held the person in his arms and spoke unhurriedly.

Ming Li looked at the person in his arms. 

"Our Ming Xi has been pampered since childhood. You... you need to be careful with him."

The corners of Ling Cang's mouth lifted slightly. 

"Don't worry, I will." 

Then he looked at Ming Li for a long moment before saying, 

"The person you have your eye on is an assassin. You should also be careful. I don't want my Xi'er, far away from home, to have to worry about you."

Ming Li was stunned, instantly understanding he was referring to Ning Huaiyu, the ge'er who had swindled him out of silver a month ago when he was traveling incognito.

Back then, he was urgently asking for directions and was blocked by the ladies and ge'er from the Meiren Pavilion (Beauty Pavilion). Just as he was getting a headache, that person appeared, standing at the top of the stairs in a striking red robe, looking at him and smiling—a smile that captured his heart and soul at first glance.

He was extremely stunningly beautiful. Other ge'er had their floral marks in hidden places, but his alone was right in the center of his forehead.

When he wasn't smiling, his entire demeanor was as cold as frost, making people afraid to approach easily, yet they couldn't help but be drawn to his peerless beauty. His slender eyebrows were like crescent moons, the slightly upturned corners of his eyes carrying a touch of charm and sharpness. His nose was tall and straight, his thin lips naturally red without needing enhancement. When pressed together lightly, they revealed a stubbornness and pride.

At the time, he had let out a light, derisive laugh. 

"Asking for directions at the Meiren Pavilion—you're the first."

Ming Li stared dumbfounded at the person, being teased by the ge'er and young ladies downstairs: "Another one mesmerized by the Pavilion Master."

Ming Li came back to his senses. "My apologies for the rudeness."

That person walked down the stairs, smiling. 

"A guest is a guest. The Meiren Pavilion has countless beauties. Why doesn't the young master choose one?"

"Then can I choose the Pavilion Master?" Ming Li asked with a smile.

The person was stunned for a moment, then suddenly threw his head back and laughed. "Alright." 

He lifted his face, smiling, took Ming Li's right wrist, and led him step by step to his room on the second floor.

Pushing the door open, the interior was exceedingly luxurious, a dazzling array of treasures. Exquisite paintings and calligraphy hung on the walls. The table held precious porcelain and jade ornaments. Wisps of blue smoke rose from the incense burner, emitting a subtle, elegant fragrance. The bedding on the bed was embroidered with intricate patterns, soft and smooth.

Ming Li stood somewhat stiffly at the door, but that person gently pulled him inside and closed the door.

"Don't be nervous," 

that person said softly in Ming Li's ear, his voice gentle and pleasing.

Then that person walked to the bed, sat down, and patted the spot beside him, gesturing for Ming Li to come over.

Ming Li hesitated for a moment but still walked over and slowly sat down.

Then that person took off his outer robe and was about to undo his belt when Ming Li pressed down on his hand.

"Young Master, what are you doing?" that person said with a smile.

Ming Li stood up. "Pavilion Master, there's no need for this. I only came in to ask for directions."

That person's smiling eyes turned cold. "How boring!" 

Then he stood up, put his clothes back on, and turned his back to Ming Li. 

"Go out and turn right."

Chapter 1 The big fierce A turns into a vicious soft O

By -
"Ahhh!" "Where's my big dragon!" "Why did it become a little dragon?!" Following a sharp explosion, Nian Jinsui stared in disbelief.  He checked his body repeatedly with his eyes, and finally raised his head like a bolt out of the blue, and his eyes fell on the mirror in front of him. The boy in the mirror had fluffy chestnut curly hair, his skin was as smooth and shiny as white jade, and his cheeks were stained with a faint blush, as if covered with a light crimson haze. His facial features are particularly exquisite, and he looks like God's favorite at first glance.  His eyes were very bright and moist, and they were slightly widened at this time, full of surprise.  Even the pink lips were slightly open, and it seemed that he had been greatly shocked. One look at this appearance, and you can tell that he is a noble, pampered kid from a rich family. Nian Jinsui looked at the face in front of him...

Chapter 2 I am not an Omega, I want to commit suicide!

By -
“Mr. Nian, Mr. Qin asked me to bring my family’s second young master here. I’ll leave him in your care.” A middle-aged man in a loose suit stood respectfully outside the Nian family villa, speaking to Nian Yixin. “Of course, Mr. Qin has already informed me.”  Nian Yixin replied with a polite smile, though his expression carried a natural air of measured distance. He was the head of the Nian family and, notably, an Omega. Nian Yixin’s gaze landed on the young man beside the driver.  The youth stood straight, his frame lean like a proud green bamboo.  His features were sharp and handsome, his eyes deep and dark, as though concealing icy cracks beneath a cold river, exuding an air of coldness and eeriness. At the corner of his right eye, there was a small mole, adding a faint trace of aloofness to his expression. His indifferent demeanor and taciturn nature made him less than charming as a guest. “So this is Chengyu? You’ll be living with us from now on. Feel free to...

Chapter 51 Attending the Celebration Banquet in Style

By -
"Son, I know you’re upset right now, but for the sake of the bigger picture, you need to endure this for now"   Qin Mu yun advised.  "Nian Jinsui is the type who thrives on making a fuss. If this incident gets blown up and reaches your grandfather’s ears, it’ll be hard to handle." Compared to Qin Cheng luo, Qin Mu yun was slightly more level-headed.  Although she was angry, she hadn’t lost her rationality.  With Qin Zhuo currently evaluating Qin Cheng luo, they couldn’t afford to take any risks. Qin Cheng luo, though unwilling, understood the gravity of the situation.   "Don’t worry, Mom. Once I become the head of Qin Corporation, handling Qin Chengyu will be a piece of cake. I’ll make sure Nian Jinsui kneels before me, begging for my mark!" "Someone that even Chu Heting doesn’t want—what’s so special about him? If it weren’t for the fact that he’s the only son of the Nian family, who could tolerate his ...

Chapter 3 Come on, just let him kiss you.

By -
Nian Jinsui was having a beautiful dream.  In his dream, he had returned to his original body and even met his dream Omega. The little Omega’s face wasn’t clear; he could only see those soft-looking lips approaching him, with a faint, sweet fragrance. So proactive—how could he wait any longer? Nian Jinsui widened his eyes, trying to see the Omega’s face clearly.  He puckered his lips in anticipation of those tender, delicate lips. As his vision sharpened, however... The person before him had cold, indifferent eyes, even showing a trace of reluctance and resistance. Even the mole at the corner of his eye seemed to emit disdain.  Yet, those lips were exceptionally beautiful—plump and defined, looking so tempting to bite. Come on, come on, just give him a kiss… Just as Qin Chengyu’s lips were about to touch Nian Jinsui’s, their eyes met.  Qin Chengyu saw Nian Jinsui’s intoxicated gaze, coupled with the subtle movements of his lips. Qin Chengyu quickly lowered his eyes, ...

Chapter 4 If you don’t complete the task, you will be punished

By -
[Host, remember this: beyond the storyline, the world is vast.] “What does that mean? Can you be more specific?” [Host, you must understand that the novel's storyline does not describe every hour of every day. Moreover, you are just a side character, so the storyline involving you is relatively sparse. This means that as long as you don't violate the system's rules, you are free to do as you please during the times when you are not part of the storyline.] “But won’t this affect the development of the plot? After all, I’m living in what feels like a real world.” [It naturally could, which is why you have the opportunity to change your ending. For example, today you jumped off a building, and Qin Chengyu saved you. This event was not part of the novel’s original storyline. It will inevitably affect Qin Chengyu’s impression of you.] Nian Jinsui sneered,  “Of course it will. He saved me, making him my lifesaver. But in the future, I’ll have to follow the storyline and mis...

Chapter 5 What do you call a person who can’t smell?

By -
Nian Jinsui couldn't help but think of Qin Chengyu's life experience. The current leader of the Qin family, Qin Zhuo, is nearly seventy years old. He is still energetic and quick-thinking, and holds all the power of the Qin family firmly in his hands. Qin Zhuo is a top Alpha with high IQ and strong ability. Under his hands, the Qin family has developed into one of the three major families in the imperial capital. At the same time, he is also a proud and arrogant person. He hopes that his high-quality Alpha genes can continue to carry forward the Qin family. It's a pity that he only has two Omega daughters, Qin Muyun and Qin Muyu. Qin Zhuo could only recruit two Alpha sons-in-law, and put his hope in his grandchildren. Later, Qin Muyun and Qin Muyu gave birth to sons one year apart. It's just that Qin Muyu was not in good health originally, and became even more weak after giving birth to a child, and died a few years later. Her husband was distraught, depressed all day ...

Chapter 7 My favorite brother Ting

Ting After Nian Jinsui completed his check-up in the afternoon, the group got on the car back to Nian's home. Nian Jinsui sat in the back seat of the car, tapping his fingers quickly on the screen of his mobile phone, checking Nian Jinsui's circle of friends and WeChat friends. When he saw that Chu Heting's chat box was pinned to the top and the note was called  "My favorite brother Ting,"  although Nian Jinsui was not surprised, he still couldn't help but feel a chill. Brother Ting? I'm still disgusted! Nian Jinsui curled his lips in disgust and was about to change the note for him when a systematic reminder suddenly came to his mind. [Host, this note is mentioned in the plot of the novel, so no modification is allowed. ] Nian Jinsui then rolled his eyes and had to give up. Qin Chengyu raised his eyelids slightly, and through the rearview mirror, he saw that Nian Jinsui had been tapping the screen of his mobile phone, which made him suddenly remember the...

Chapter 23 You’ll Be Living in the Storage Room

  Nian Jinsui unwrapped the LEGO set and dumped all the pieces onto the carpet.  Carefully, he maneuvered himself off his wheelchair and sat on the floor, immediately starting to assemble the pieces. Qin Chengyu, seated across from him, first picked up the instruction manual to study it. “Come on, start building,”  Nian Jinsui said, pushing a small bag of LEGO pieces toward Qin Chengyu. It was Qin Chengyu’s first time encountering LEGO.  After carefully examining the instructions, his movements were slower.  While he had only assembled a few pieces, Nian Jinsui had already completed a small portion. “Look, I’ve nearly finished the car chassis,”  Nian Jinsui boasted.  “So, you’re not some magical beginner with a gaming halo in everything after all.” Qin Chengyu glanced at the model in front of Nian Jinsui, then pointed to a specific section.  “You made a mistake here.” “Impossible!”  Nian Jinsui retorted, immediately defensive.

Chapter 6 He is different from the rumors

By -
Qin Chengyu:  ? ? ? What's the problem? Qin Chengyu was silent for a moment. He didn't understand the purpose of Nian Jinsui's question, but he still answered it. "It's called a person with an inability to smell." "Wrong answer!" Nian Jinsui suddenly became excited, stretched out his index finger and shook it from side to side "Now the correct answer is revealed. People who can't smell are called Betas! Hahahaha..." Nian Jinsui He laughed at his own joke and kept giggling. But Qin Chengyu's expression was dull and without a smile.  He looked at Nian Jinsui, and there was even a trace of imperceptible hostility in his eyes. Is this Nian Jinsui mocking him for not being able to smell pheromones? But he doesn't want to smell pheromones. It's great to be a Beta.  He doesn't have to be influenced by pheromones like Alpha and Omega and do some uncontrollable behaviors.  It's disgusting to think about it. Qin Chengyu suffe...

Chapter 26 Giving Nian Jin a Rub on His Bruise

By -
Nian Jin Sui’s tired and weak appearance caught Qin Cheng Yu’s attention, causing him to frown slightly. When Qin Cheng Yu turned to leave, Nian Jin Sui assumed he was going back to his room.  To his surprise, Qin Cheng Yu went into the bathroom, returning with two dry towels and a hairdryer. “Young Master Nian, do you experience this kind of symptom often?”  Qin Cheng Yu asked while placing the items by the bedside.  He squatted down and used a towel to gently wipe the water stains on the plaster bandage of Nian Jin Sui’s right leg. Nian Jin Sui, feeling both surprised and flattered, wondered why Qin Cheng Yu was suddenly so concerned. He answered vaguely,  “Only occasionally... not often…” Qin Cheng Yu didn’t press further, assuming that Nian Jin Sui wasn’t paying much attention to his own health.  After all, Nian Jin Sui seemed indifferent even to the bruise on his knee and had no intention of treating it. “It’s a good thing the bandage only got slightl...
