Match the aggressive alpha with the omega

Chapter 01 Unexpected Wedding News

"Can Can! Something terrible has happened! Check out the trending news on the Star Network!""Can Can, who's that omega? How dare they so openly be a homewrecker? Isn't Major General Xu your fiancé? How could he suddenly announce an engagement with that omega?!""Can Can, what's going on between you two?""Can Can..."Since the morning, Can's personal terminal hadn't stopped buzzing with messages, all telling him the same thing—his outstanding, brilliant fiancé had married someone else!Can switched his terminal to "Do Not Disturb," and the room finally quieted down.After sitting silently in the center of the room for a while, Can opened the Star Network, where the front page was full of news about Major General Xu announcing his marriage.He clicked on a few headlines, but the content was all the same: a rundown of Xu Lihan's achievements, congratulatory remarks on his wedding, and speculation about what kind of omega Xu favored.With an expressionless face, Can navigated to Xu Lihan's personal profile, where his so-called fiancé had succinctly announced his marriage to the public.After a moment, a barely audible scoff escaped the quiet room.The engagement between Can and Xu Lihan had been a verbal agreement made between their families. The two had only met a few times, as Xu Lihan spent most of his time on military missions. The last time they saw each other was three years ago, and there was no real emotional bond between them.But even without any feelings, Can was still highly displeased with Xu Lihan for marrying someone else without a single word, especially since today was the day before Can's twentieth birthday.To address the Empire's declining birthrate, a long-standing rule required all omegas aged twenty and alphas aged twenty-eight to marry. If a citizen remained unmarried by the deadline, their genetic information would be entered into a matching database, and the system would automatically pair them with a spouse.Omegas were rare, and most were married well before the age of twenty, which left the database full of alphas waiting for the few omegas who entered.Can's twentieth birthday was tomorrow. If he remained unmarried after tomorrow, the system would start matching him with an alpha.Can's engagement with Xu Lihan had been his father, Shi Wen's, way of aligning himself with the Xu family. Shi Wen frequently boasted about the engagement, and almost everyone in the social circles that interacted with the Shi family knew about it.Now that the news of Xu Lihan marrying someone else had spread, Can was sure Shi Wen was even more humiliated than he was.Can turned off the Star Network.He lifted his head to look out the window, his body lazily curled up on the sofa by the window. His delicate toes stretched out as he relaxed, appearing almost blindingly pale in the sunlight.The servants working in the garden exchanged worried glances when they noticed the figure by the window.They couldn't understand how any alpha could bear to abandon someone as perfect as Young Master Can.Not only was Can a rare omega, but he was also exceptionally beautiful and captivating, his flawless appearance showcasing nature's favoritism.New servants who joined the household were often left in awe for days after seeing Can's face, constantly haunted by his perfect, exquisite image. It was a kind of indescribable beauty that transcended gender.After seeing Can, looking at the "Top 10 Most Desirable Omegas" lists on the Star Network would inevitably make people think of Can, and suddenly, all those omegas seemed quite ordinary.Regardless of their family background, any alpha who had seen Can's face would feel a subtle jealousy toward Xu Lihan, the alpha engaged to him.Moreover, omegas were so rare, especially within these noble families, that each one was treated like a spoiled treasure, demanding the world revolve around them.But even other omegas admitted that Can had a gentle temperament, a rarity among omegas. His kind nature was uncommon in their circles.If the Shi family hadn't already announced Can's engagement, the academy would have been filled with alphas chasing after him.And now... Xu Lihan had abandoned Can and married someone else!An omega abandoned by his fiancé, who then married someone else—no one believed that a sensitive and fragile omega could endure such a blow and still be okay.As a result, the number of alphas who harbored resentment toward Xu Lihan instantly grew.But the delicate omega, who everyone imagined would be sobbing in despair, was instead lost in thought, resting his chin on his hand...This world seemed to promote equality and democracy, but in terms of marriage, it was far worse than his previous life.Yes, Can had been reincarnated.Can wasn't entirely sure if "reincarnated" was the right word for his experience, as it felt more like he had suddenly awakened memories from his previous life.Around the age of ten, Can began dreaming of a strange world, and by his teenage years, he had fully remembered everything from his past life.The world in his dreams had no Alpha-Beta-Omega classification. There were only two genders: men and women. However, a very small percentage of men had the ability to bear children, and they were called "dual-genders."In his past life, Can had been a dual-gender.Dual-genders sounded similar to male omegas, in that they could also conceive and give birth, but they had more freedom. They didn't have to endure the heat cycles that omegas did, nor could they be marked.There was no rule forcing them to marry by a certain age either. Can had lived his entire previous life unmarried.After regaining his memories, Can had initially been frustrated with his omega body, but he quickly realized the perks of this world—safety.As a supposedly fragile and sensitive omega, Can had never even been yelled at growing up.In the eyes of many alphas, omegas were delicate creatures who could be frightened to death by a raised voice. As a result, whether at home or outside, as long as Can didn't hide his omega identity, he was naturally showered with care by most alphas.Compared to the constant dangers of his previous life, this safe and comfortable world felt like heaven.In his past life, Can had been a dual-gender living in a world of cultivation. He was an orphaned beggar until a passing cultivator detected his spiritual roots and took him in.Under the guidance of his first master, Can reached the sixth stage of Qi Refining. However, he narrowly escaped being harvested by that very same master, who sought to drain his spiritual energy. After that, Can fled and began his journey as a wandering cultivator.In the cultivation world, survival meant competing against nature, beasts, and fellow cultivators. Can's journey was filled with danger, bloodshed, and killings. Several times, he narrowly avoided being captured and turned into a living resource for others.Eventually, Can stopped cultivating to advance. Instead, he cultivated because he was forced to by endless threats and crises. Any delay in progress could have resulted in his death or becoming a "resource" for others.In that vast and dazzling world, Can was neither talented nor fortunate. He had no special resources, and he relied entirely on himself, scrapping through countless trials and near-death encounters.His cautious and meticulous nature allowed him to survive the deadly rivalries between cultivators, but he still fell during his attempt to reach the Golden Core stage, lacking the necessary resources to survive the tribulation lightning.Can could still recall the searing pain and the overwhelming pressure of the tribulation, along with the greedy eyes of the other cultivators, waiting for him to fail so they could claim his belongings.Thinking back on his past life, Can sighed and shifted into a more comfortable position, his gaze returning to the meticulously groomed garden outside. His mood lightened once again.Even though his fiancé had left him for someone else, even though he'd be matched with a stranger by tomorrow, Can still loved this world!Call it cowardice or lack of ambition, but Can no longer wanted to experience the so-called "freedom" of constantly being on guard, unable to sleep peacefully.Still, the cultivation techniques he had learned in his previous life were valuable. Can hadn't given up on them. Since his teens, he'd resumed cultivating, and now he had reached the fourth stage of Qi Refining in this world. His body here was even weaker than in his past life, but it was enough.This cultivation also gave Can an edge over other omegas. With his abilities, he could fight some alphas. Moreover, with his other skills, no alpha could mark him if he didn't want them to.Although Can felt no sadness, others clearly believed he needed comforting, and soon enough, someone arrived to console him.
