[ Adult Content] [ Female Alpha X Male Omega ] MO Qing, the capital's most beloved omega, is famed for his ethereal beauty and angelic demeanor. Everyone adores him and pities his tragic life under the thumb of his abusive family. But when he's forced to marry Katheryn Korshikov, the fearsome cruel General known for her ruthlessness, the entire city mourns his fate. Surely, the gentle flower will be devoured by the bloodthirsty alpha! His friends and admirers all sent him off with heavy hearts. MO Qing bid them farewell with a soft, sorrowful smile, his delicate figure trembling with emotion as he stepped into the carriage. The door shut, and the gentle sobbing outside faded into silence. Inside, MO Qing pulled out a handkerchief, dabbing at his eyes with a huff. "Damn it, my eyes are swollen," he muttered, his tone sharp and irritated. "I need to fix this fake tear solution before it ruins my face." Gone was the gentle, sorrowful expression-his face twisted into a smirk that could only belong to a seasoned green tea bitch.
