Match the aggressive alpha with the omega

Chapter 03: Completed Match

After the birthday party, Shican's life was no different from before.

Omegas complete their basic education at the academy by the age of eighteen. Those who wish to pursue further studies can apply to other regular universities, while those who do not want to can choose to "return home and get married."

Perhaps because of Shican's long-standing attitude of "just getting by" and "not striving for more," his family had formed the impression that he wasn't very capable when it came to studying. Shican didn't want to pursue further studies, and Shiren didn't pressure him.

So, Shican spent the next two years "idling" at home, living each day like many other apathetic omegas, indulging in eating, drinking, and having fun, occasionally practicing his cultivation—life couldn't be more comfortable.

Although Shican's family didn't genuinely invest much care into his "nurturing" and "protection," it was something he never enjoyed in his previous life. Therefore, when his family wanted to exchange Shican's marriage for an alliance with a prominent family, he didn't resist too much.

In this world, omegas prioritize selecting a male partner due to physiological constraints. However, Shican had come from the cultivation world, where a dual-cultivation partner said that there was no one with fewer rights than here. Hundreds of dual-cultivators could become a single cultivator's furnace; while claiming to be open-minded, this world was more oppressive. Whether born from a furnace or not, as long as one had the capability, they could even kill their master without facing much blame.

Having come from such an environment, Shican's bottom line had significantly lowered. After all, alphas in this world wouldn't treat omegas as furnaces to absorb their cultivation; it didn't matter who he was with. If it didn't work out, they could just part ways.

However, while Shican didn't care who his future spouse would be, someone else was concerned for him.

For the past few days, Shiren and Li Manman had been sorting through outstanding, suitable alphas of age and preparing for the system's matching process to find an alpha with a high gene compatibility with Shican.

New updates on the Star Network kept emerging. The news of Xu Lihan's marriage was quickly overshadowed by news of Xi Ming, who had seriously injured over a dozen of his servants and expelled them. People began to denounce Xi Ming online, and Xu Lihan's matter was forgotten.

The Xu family also timely released information, indicating that even if Shican was unrelated to them, he was still closely tied to the younger generation of the Xu family. Now, those who knew of their engagement in reality couldn't say much. It seemed like the matter would just pass by.

A week later, Shican's matching results came out, sent directly to the personal terminals of both matchers.

Shiren, who had been keeping an eye on Shican's matching news, quickly learned the identity of Shican's match, and his eyes slowly narrowed.

"Xi Ming...?" Shican read the name of his matched partner from the resume sent directly to his personal terminal.

His originally calm expression flickered momentarily.

Shican was not unfamiliar with the name Xi Ming. In fact, anyone concerned with the Empire wouldn't be.

Five years ago, the "823 Loss" reverberated throughout every corner of the Empire—border breaches, military defeat, insectoid attacks, six planets became breeding grounds for the insectoids, with heavy civilian casualties.

Xi Ming was the major general responsible for guarding the borders during the 823 incident, the highest authority on the front lines. His series of misjudgments and commands led to the near-total destruction of the stationed forces, resulting in that tragedy.
