Editor: Dancing Dolphins Yo!

The Federal Military Academy canteen.

Tang Bai sat in front of the dining table and was currently unpacking his second pack of wet wipes. He absentmindedly wiped the table. Sunlight shone in through the window, making the “Azure Sea” necklace on his neck even more dazzling.

The dark blue gemstone reflected brightly under the light, looking like a different shade of blue from every angle, like an unpredictable and mysterious ocean wave.

Tang Bai’s prospective fiancé, who was sitting opposite of him, however, didn’t look at the blue gemstone. Instead, he frowned as he stared at the radiant chain. The emotions in his gray-blue eyes were hard to describe. If it had to be put into words…

It was probably the heartache of seeing a beautiful flower stuck on top of cow dung.

Although the wearer of the necklace was more beautiful than a flower.

Here, the material of the chain, magic silver, needed to be brought up. Magic silver was an extraordinary and mysterious, newly discovered material, and its price was sky-high. It was said to have spatial and temporal characteristics. Even Gu Tunan had only seen this type of rare metal once. However, this Tang Bai actually wasted such precious materials by using them to make a necklace. 

As expected, omegas like Tang Bai, who only knew how to eat, drink, and have fun, wasted resources. Other than being pretty, he had no other redeeming qualities. 

Contempt briefly flitted by that cold and handsome face.

Different from the majority of alphas who liked pretty flower vases, Gu Tunan’s ideal type was a diligent, thrifty, independent, and ambitious omega. 

Someone who didn’t pursue materialistic things and had a very active mind. Someone who was pure and not pretentious… Essentially, it wasn’t someone like Tang Bai, who was spoiled and hard to take care of.

Seeing that Tang Bai wanted to open his third bag of wet wipes, Gu Tunan frowned, showing slight impatience. His voice was cold as he said, “Stop wiping. Do you know the true worth of the necklace on your neck?”

His voice was pretty good. However, the sense of superiority held in those words destroyed the listener’s good perception.

The dilly-dallying little omega raised his head, revealing an exquisite and beautiful face.

Those pretty amber eyes were like sticky honey, containing a bit of confusion within the cuteness as they looked towards Gu Tunan as if they didn’t understand why his prospective fiancé, who had never cared about his outfit and accessories, suddenly asked about them. 

In fact, the reason that Tang Bai was confused was: Why was Gu Tunan angry again all of a sudden?

His eyes weren’t blind, and he wasn’t dense. How could he not realize that Gu Tunan disliked him?

The school Tang Bai went to was commonly referred to as the Flower Vase School or Bridal School. However, the class “How to guess your partner’s thoughts” was still useful occasionally. That teacher had mentioned that frowning, talking curtly, and wrinkling their nose were microexpressions for dislike. 

See. It was that stinky face that Gu Tunan was making for him to see right now. 

Combined with Gu Tunan’s question as well as the action of the other staring at his necklace the whole time, Tang Bai thought for a bit and suddenly realized——

This was hatred for the rich ya! 

What was causing him to feel green-eyed was probably the magic silver used to make the chain of the necklace. 

However, this magic silver was obtained through his effort and skills of acting spoiled towards his grandpa. If Gu Tunan had the skills, he could also find such a grandpa and act spoiled.

Tang Bai pretentiously stretched out his slender and jade-like fingers, pointed at the chain, and responded flauntingly, “It’s worth two planets. Doesn’t it look nice~”

While he was saying that, Tang Bai raised his right shoulder, and his head also leaned towards his right. His shoulder propped up his soft cheek. From top to bottom, he was overflowing with a sweet attitude that was very obviously acted out and fake, which Gu Tunan hated the most. 

Tang Bai knew that what Gu Tunan couldn’t stand the most was omegas acting like this. It was the same as him being unable to stand Gu Tunan’s big alpha attitude and ideals. 

Whenever Tang Bai wanted to disgust Gu Tunan, he would put on such an exaggerated attitude. 

However, Tang Bai looked nice. When such an action was performed by him, it didn’t feel unnatural or fake and, instead, gave off a feeling of natural adorableness. 

At this time and place, the gaze of Xie Ruhang, who was sitting at a table behind him, was attracted by that proud and pleased lock of hair standing up on top of his head. 

Following Tang Bai’s deliberate movement of tilting his head, that innocent lock of hair swayed, making Xie Ruhang’s hands feel strangely itchy. It strangely made him want to press that lock of hair down. 

Xie Ruhang narrowed his eyes and saw the owner of the lock of hair raising his chin and revealing a white and long neck and blue veins that could be seen faintly under the sunlight, which complimented and was complemented by that mysterious blue gemstone. 

He was like a proud and noble little kitten showing off the new toy that he just got.

The tip of his tongue pressed against his inexplicably itchy upper jaw. This itch appeared suddenly and fiercely, seeming to spread all the way to his heart.

“Brother Xie, what are you looking at?” Qiu Yan raised his head and saw Xie Ruhang’s deep black eyes instantly. His eyes were a bit unsettling, like a lion that was sizing up its prey, giving him a fright.

Xie Ruhang turned away and lazily said, “Looking at a little kitten.”

“Cat? Where?” Qiu Yan looked around in doubt. While looking for the presence of the little kitten, he said with surprise, “So Brother Xie likes cats.”

Since the basic physical test when school started, his brother Xie had this strong alpha presence like he was going to smash through the skies. Qiu Yan had thought that even if such a powerful, top-of-the-top alpha liked animals, he would like big cats, such as lions or tigers. 

Who knew that Xie Ruhang would actually stare at a “little kitten” with relish.

“Eat your food.”

When Qiu Yan heard his words, his expression instantly turned bitter. He used his chopsticks and poked the indiscernible clump of black on his plate. “Eating this kind of devil’s cuisine, I’m about to puke…”

On the other side, Gu Tunan was angered half to death by Tang Bai’s “stupid and flower vase-like” answer, and his expression darkened, “Have you paid any attention to the military news of the Federation? Can you understand the recent popular mecha competitions? Have you read《A Brief History of the Interstellar Wars》and《One Thousand Questions About Mechas》?”

People who didn’t know the situation would think that he was an instructor who had caught a bad student and was questioning them hard.

Those grey-blue eyes held dissatisfaction and disgust that he was unable to cover up. Tang Bai and Gu Tunan exchanged gazes for a second before he suddenly laughed out loud.

That smile seemed to contain a subtle sense of showing off, or one could also say…

A sense of victory was mine.

“The federation has reported that the Cheng Research Institute has discovered a type of rare metal, which has spatial and temporal characteristics, called ‘magic silver’ on the news.” His finger hooked the slightly cold chain. Tang Bai used a tone of voice that was as sweet and soft as cotton candy to respond, “The recent popular Mecha Cup Competition has already started its first round of tryouts.《A Brief History of the Interstellar Wars》and《One Thousand Questions About Mechas》are both part of the required books for alphas in elementary school.” 

Seeing Gu Tunan stunned frozen on the spot, Tang Bai was laughing crazily inside. 

He had to be joking. Even without mentioning that his grandpa was the head of the Weapon’s Research Institute, he didn’t go to school for nothing. The major class《If You Give Birth to a Little Alpha》had already introduced all the books that an alpha should read from birth to college.

Looping the chain with his finger, Tang Bai raised his eyes. His eyes revealed a slyness that was like a cat. He purposely pretended to ask curiously, “Can I ask if you have ever paid any attention to the Paluru catwalk? Can you understand the recent popular omega makeup trends? Have you read《One Hundred Ways to Make Homemade Desserts》and《Flower Arrangement Techniques》?”

Gu Tunan, “……”

Very good. This omega has successfully stirred up my desire to win.

Seeing Gu Tunan lose and unable to respond, Tang Bai’s mood was much better. 

However, Gu Tunan was a very useful “blind date shield” and “amazing weapon for asking for leave” after all. Tang Bai, who had the upper hand, reluctantly gave some compassion to the defeated foe. He scanned the love bento placed on the desk, “I personally made it. Do you want to eat it?”

His voice contained a bit of liveliness and smugness. Landing in the ear of Gu Tunan, who had just suffered a defeat, it was strangely hard to listen to.

The bento made by a rich young master who didn’t do any household chores or work, how good could it be?

“No need. This is the military school’s canteen. I want to eat the training meal more.” Gu Tunan stood up without any hesitation. He didn’t even take a look before refusing. After he finished talking, he walked towards the place to buy food without a second glance at him.

Tang Bai recalled the universal evaluation made by the Federal Military Academy’s students towards their canteen’s food. Something like “the devil’s cuisine made to feed pigs” and “one bite is enough to send you to your grave.”

He couldn’t tell that Gu Tunan actually had such heavy tastes and such fortitude. 

Tang Bai shrugged and wanted to pull out his finger from the chain he twisted them in. When he was playing with the chain just now, he didn’t pay attention and spun it around his finger too tightly. What was even more unfortunate was that the finger that was entangled had the light brain ring on it. 

The rose-shaped light brain and the magic silver chain were tightly tangled together. He couldn’t separate them. This was basically him weaving a cocoon around himself. 

Tang Bai had heard that for this metal, not all of its attributes had been studied and researched yet, so it was best not to place it with items such as the light brain.

Remembering this, Tang Bai became anxious and tried to untangle it. He didn’t know which part of the light brain the magic silver touched, but suddenly, an arc of electricity flashed between the two.

In the next instant, a sizzling sound appeared in Tang Bai’s ears. Tang Bai felt his neck warm up, and his mind went blank as numerous data flooded into his brain. 

《This Omega is a Marshal》

He, Xie Ruhang, came from the slums. Born rebellious, he was unwilling to become a birthing machine. Thus, he chose to hide his true gender, pretending to be an alpha as an omega, and got admitted to the Federal Military Academy. In the Military Academy, he beat the representative of the nobility faction, Gu Tunan, and became the valedictorian of the freshmen. 

He, Gu Tunan, was from a prestigious military family. His grandfather was a seven-star admiral in the Federation. His family arranged a flower vase omega as his marriage partner. However, he didn’t accept the arranged marriage and liked the new modern omega who was independent and took initiative. In his yearning for love, he met Xie Ruhang, who was an omega pretending to be an alpha. 

Under this mutual love and hate, they both rushed towards the battlefield after graduation. In order to let Xie Ruhang shine on the battlefield, Gu Tunan willingly became his lover’s adjutant. Many years later, Xie Ruhang became the first-ever and only omega marshal in all of history. And Gu Tunan was the man behind the marshal!

Tang Bai: “? ? ?”

What is this? Why is this squeezing into my head? And why is Gu Tunan in it?

Tang Bai, who had a book appear in his mind out of thin air, was completely bewildered. The lock of hair on his head straightened up in shock. He felt that this strange situation was connected to the magic silver. 

Before Tang Bai had a chance to think more deeply about it, that book already couldn’t wait to invite him to engage in some quantum wave speed reading.

In this strange state, reading ten lines in a single glance was a piece of cake. Tang Bai was more than able to read ten thousand words in a minute. 

This book’s protagonist shou was the omega Xie Ruhang, who was born in the slums. He didn’t want to become a birthing machine, so he pretended to be an alpha and got admitted to the Federal Military Academy.

Tang Bai: “？？？”

Tang Bai felt that this behavior was too obsessive and a waste of his grand ambitions. The Federal Military Academy only accepted alphas. On the off chance that Xie Ruhang’s inhibitor became ineffective, an omega in estrus who was surrounded by a bunch of alphas would definitely die very miserably. 

Under normal situations, when Tang Bai encountered this kind of plot, he would directly abandon the novel. However, this reading was compulsive. Tang Bai could only continue to read with a frown on his small face.

After Xie Ruhang entered the military academy, he wanted to win the valedictorian spot.

A valedictorian would be chosen out of every new cohort. The valedictorian could enjoy more resources. However, the valedictorian had always been a student of nobility. The most popular freshman of this year was Gu Tunan.

Tang Bai: “？？？”

Tang Bai read the synopsis again and confirmed that this protagonist gong not only had the same name as his prospective fiancé, but even the description of his appearance, personality, and background was the same. 

And then, Tang Bai even miraculously found himself appearing in this book. He was the prospective fiancé who Gu Tunan didn’t love, a cannon fodder. 

Tang Bai, “…Wow.”

In the exam for the position of valedictorian, Xie Ruhang relied on his inherent good memory and the tempering of the underground mecha competition of the black market to beat Gu Tunan in both the written exam and the combat portion. It was only in the etiquette exam that he was ridiculed by a bunch of students of noble descent because of his crappy way of saluting.  

In fact, in the first etiquette class, the noble students had already started to nitpick everything about Xie Ruhang. Among them, an alpha called Qin Jun mocked that Xie Ruhang looked like an omega who couldn’t part his legs when he was saluting.

The analogy he used to ridicule him was something widely recognized and used. Tang Bai knew that the majority of alphas looked down on omegas, such as his prospective fiancé Gu Tunan.

A lot of ridiculing and insulting words were related to omegas. However, very few alphas dared to say them out loud in front of Tang Bai. 

Because Tang Bai would cry and report them under the name of “sexism.” He would then invite the most expensive lawyer to educate them.

However, the Xie Ruhang in the book, who was pretending to be an alpha, obviously couldn’t do this. He chose to strangle the neck of that big-mouthed alpha and say, word by word, “Don’t let me hear any more sexist words. Alphas aren’t more noble and valuable than omegas.”

His phoenix eyes were shining because of anger. It was like a phoenix spreading its wings after rising from the ashes.

Very handsome.

A certain spot in Tang Bai’s heart was suddenly struck. He started to somewhat like this protagonist shou who was unscientifically strong.

This Xie Ruhang was really an omega completely different from Tang Bai. He was born in the slums. A cruel and ambitious beast lived in his heart. He grabbed onto any chance to climb up. 

In order to join the military, he personally cut off his own gland. He was so ruthless that Tang Bai felt a chill up the back of his neck when he was reading about it.

The medicine that let an omega disguise as an alpha had large negative side effects. After injecting it for many years, although the average person in the interstellar era could live until they were two hundred years old, Xie Ruhang, however, couldn’t even live past forty. Even so, to realize his dream of joining the military, Xie Ruhang didn’t even bat an eye when injecting himself.

In order to ambush the enemy, Xie Ruhang often forgot to drink nutrient solutions, as if he could eat blood and gunpowder for meals. As time went on, he acquired very severe stomach problems.

In one battle, Xie Ruhang led a small combat team to win against a larger army with the help of luck. The price was almost losing his life on the battlefield. 

His subordinate sent the dying Xie Ruhang to the military’s doctor just as the disguising medicine wore off. Xie Ruhang’s true gender was then revealed. All the stars were in an uproar. They requested the military to take back Xie Ruhang’s military rank and let this deviant omega return to the right path. 

Even if this omega had already cut off his gland and wouldn’t go into estrus and influence anyone. 

That was a war without any gunpowder. No one supported Xie Ruhang. Even his adjutant Gu Tunan hid the thought of how good it would be if Xie Ruhang was obedient to his husband and taught his children in his heart.

The eyes of Xie Ruhang, who had never shed a tear no matter how many injuries he had suffered, finally reddened at that moment.

With his heavy injuries not fully healed yet, he walked into his mecha cockpit with his head high and his chest out, announcing to everyone that as long as an alpha could defeat him, he would instantly take off his military uniform.

That cruel and weak beast in Xie Ruhang’s heart waved its claws and bared its teeth. Even if his body was battered and bruised, he refused to lower his head.

Blood flowed over the entire cabin of the mecha, but the mecha he controlled majestically defeated all of his opponents. 

It was only at this moment that Tang Bai truly understood the implications behind “the light of the omegas”. He found out that Xie Ruhang really was shining and glowing. 

He watched Xie Ruhang return to the battlefield that he loved, shining brightly, becoming the marshal step by step. Countless eyes that were “prejudiced against omegas” watched him. Countless “alphas in power” tried various tactics to pull him down.

But the only thing that truly defeated Xie Ruhang was death.

He forever stopped at the night he was 37. He never saw the light of dawn at the end of the long night. He never saw the military lift the restrictions against omegas joining the army. He never saw more and more schools open towards omegas as well as the research institutes’ announcement that they were starting to research artificial uteruses. 

It was the first time that Tang Bai felt such sorrow and admiration towards an omega.

Born in the worst circumstances, not only was he not willing to accept it and didn’t allow himself to fall into depravity, but he also had an independent personality, unwaveringly sticking to his own goals. For the sake of achieving his goals, he was willing to sacrifice everything, including his own life.

Such a Xie Ruhang was like a martyr. 

On the road to equal rights for omegas, a martyr like Xie Ruhang had never appeared before, because the voices of omegas in this society were too small and could be easily suppressed. They couldn’t even sacrifice themselves. 

Although Tang Bai was the type of omega that was praised and held in high esteem by mainstream aesthetics, the type that liked to dress up beautifully, liked to watch the Paluru catwalk, liked to wear an apron and cook, came from a good family, and didn’t have to worry about food or water. He seemed especially suitable for this society.

But in fact, even Tang Bai could feel the oppression that was everywhere.

At the very least, Tang Bai had never forgotten that he really wanted a set of mecha toys when he was young. However, no matter how much he acted spoiled and shed tears, no one in his family bought it for him. They even threw away mecha models that he bought by saving up his allowance. 

An omega should like Paluru dolls.

Although Tang Bai didn’t hate Paluru stuff, why couldn’t he have both a full set of Paluru dolls and the galaxy series mecha models?

Tang Bai only thought about these things in his heart and never revealed them openly. As for taking things a step further, he had never thought about it. 

However, Xie Ruhang’s life was a strike of thunder, waking him up from his stupor. It made Tang Bai realize that this omega grew wildly in this society filled with prejudice towards omegas. The world was dark, so he used himself as a torch, becoming the sole source of light. 

He was completely worthy of the name “the light of the omegas”. 

Tang Bai was a very emotional little omega who cried easily. He could cry himself into a mess from reading about forced relationships in traditional omega romance novels. Now, it was even more impossible to stop the tears. 

In the eyes of Xie Ruhang, who didn’t know the truth behind it, it seemed like this omega had a quarrel with Gu Tunan. On the surface, he confidently argued back. But after Gu Tunan left, he quietly licked his wounds. The more he thought about it, the more wronged he felt. His two eyes held tears. 

Xie Ruhang froze. He saw Tang Bai’s curly eyelashes pick up tears that were like broken jade beads. His entire body gave off the feeling that he felt aggrieved, making people want to bully and protect him.

Xie Ruhang, who had always believed in the uselessness of tears, felt his Adam’s apple roll. He stared unblinkingly at Tang Bai’s red eyes, his red nose, and his trembling shoulders…

F**k…

That itch finally spread to the depths of his heart. There was a beast in his heart that was trying to break through the cage of reason and bite the back of that little omega’s neck.  

The back of Tang Bai’s neck felt cold. He subconsciously turned his head back and saw Gu Tunan, who was carrying the training meal, walking over.

“You cried?” Gu Tunan frowned and asked. 

Tang Bai didn’t think much of the sense of danger from just now. Instead, he glared at Gu Tunan with red eyes. 

It was precisely this scum alpha. When Xie Ruhang was at his most helpless, he actually looked forward to Xiu Ruhang going home and giving birth to children for him!

Ptui!!!

Gu Tunan was too self-centered. He didn’t know how to be considerate and take care of another person. As Xie Ruhang’s adjutant, if he had just paid more attention to Xie Ruhang’s diet, Xie Ruhang’s stomach disease in the later stages of the book wouldn’t have been so severe to the point that there was no cure. He didn’t take good care of Xie Ruhang at all!!!

Seeing that Tang Bai wanted to pounce over and bite him even though his face was filled with tears, Gu Tunan: “？？？”

Do you have to be so squeamish? I just didn’t eat your bento, and you’re this sad?

Right when Tang Bai wanted to say, “You trash. You didn’t even take good care of “the light of the omegas’,” he suddenly realized that what he read was just a novel.

That perfect “light of the omegas” was only a character in a novel. 

A huge sense of loss flooded over him. Tang Bai woodenly opened his mouth. Without holding any hope, he asked, “Do you know…Xie Ruhang?”

Hearing his question, Gu Tunan frowned. Puzzled, he looked towards the alpha sitting diagonally behind Tang Bai, “You need him for something? He is sitting right behind you.”

Tang Bai: “！！？？！？！！”

Flower vase: Basically someone who only looks good but has no other qualities. It’s often used in the entertainment industry to describe actors who can’t act very well but look very pretty or handsome. 

Quantum wave speed reading: I had to search it up too, but it’s apparently a speed reading method. If you want more info, google has it.

Phoenix eyes: An eye shape where the inner corner of the eye points down and the outer corner points up. You can search it up if you want. 

Note: Light brain is like a more advanced version of the smartphone. 

Tn: New Project! Currently, I might or might not drop it after a few chapters though since I want to put Who Dares Slander My Senior Brother and Thriller Trainee as my priority. I just found this one easy to translate and fun to read, so we’ll try out this project for the next few weeks and see how it goes. If I can handle it, we’ll keep it as a full on project. If not, then this might turn into a teaser. I’ll let you guys know in future notes.

Seeing Gu Tunan stunned frozen on the spot, Tang Bai was laughing crazily inside.

Remembering this, Tang Bai became anxious and tried to untangle it. He didn’t know which part of the light brain the magic silver touched, but suddenly, an arc of electricity flashed between the two.

In the next instant, a sizzling sound appeared in Tang Bai’s ears. Tang Bai felt his neck warm up, and his mind went blank as numerous data flooded into his brain. 

《This Omega is a Marshal》

He, Xie Ruhang, came from the slums. Born rebellious, he was unwilling to become a birthing machine. Thus, he chose to hide his true gender, pretending to be an alpha as an omega, and got admitted to the Federal Military Academy. In the Military Academy, he beat the representative of the nobility faction, Gu Tunan, and became the valedictorian of the freshmen. 

He, Gu Tunan, was from a prestigious military family. His grandfather was a seven-star admiral in the Federation. His family arranged a flower vase omega as his marriage partner. However, he didn’t accept the arranged marriage and liked the new modern omega who was independent and took initiative. In his yearning for love, he met Xie Ruhang, who was an omega pretending to be an alpha. 

Under this mutual love and hate, they both rushed towards the battlefield after graduation. In order to let Xie Ruhang shine on the battlefield, Gu Tunan willingly became his lover’s adjutant. Many years later, Xie Ruhang became the first-ever and only omega marshal in all of history. And Gu Tunan was the man behind the marshal!

Tang Bai: “? ? ?”

What is this? Why is this squeezing into my head? And why is Gu Tunan in it?

Tang Bai, who had a book appear in his mind out of thin air, was completely bewildered. The lock of hair on his head straightened up in shock. He felt that this strange situation was connected to the magic silver. 

Before Tang Bai had a chance to think more deeply about it, that book already couldn’t wait to invite him to engage in some quantum wave speed reading.

In this strange state, reading ten lines in a single glance was a piece of cake. Tang Bai was more than able to read ten thousand words in a minute. 

This book’s protagonist shou was the omega Xie Ruhang, who was born in the slums. He didn’t want to become a birthing machine, so he pretended to be an alpha and got admitted to the Federal Military Academy.

Tang Bai: “？？？”

Tang Bai felt that this behavior was too obsessive and a waste of his grand ambitions. The Federal Military Academy only accepted alphas. On the off chance that Xie Ruhang’s inhibitor became ineffective, an omega in estrus who was surrounded by a bunch of alphas would definitely die very miserably. 

Under normal situations, when Tang Bai encountered this kind of plot, he would directly abandon the novel. However, this reading was compulsive. Tang Bai could only continue to read with a frown on his small face.

After Xie Ruhang entered the military academy, he wanted to win the valedictorian spot.

A valedictorian would be chosen out of every new cohort. The valedictorian could enjoy more resources. However, the valedictorian had always been a student of nobility. The most popular freshman of this year was Gu Tunan.

Tang Bai: “？？？”

Tang Bai read the synopsis again and confirmed that this protagonist gong not only had the same name as his prospective fiancé, but even the description of his appearance, personality, and background was the same. 

And then, Tang Bai even miraculously found himself appearing in this book. He was the prospective fiancé who Gu Tunan didn’t love, a cannon fodder. 

Tang Bai, “…Wow.”

In the exam for the position of valedictorian, Xie Ruhang relied on his inherent good memory and the tempering of the underground mecha competition of the black market to beat Gu Tunan in both the written exam and the combat portion. It was only in the etiquette exam that he was ridiculed by a bunch of students of noble descent because of his crappy way of saluting.  

In fact, in the first etiquette class, the noble students had already started to nitpick everything about Xie Ruhang. Among them, an alpha called Qin Jun mocked that Xie Ruhang looked like an omega who couldn’t part his legs when he was saluting.

The analogy he used to ridicule him was something widely recognized and used. Tang Bai knew that the majority of alphas looked down on omegas, such as his prospective fiancé Gu Tunan.

A lot of ridiculing and insulting words were related to omegas. However, very few alphas dared to say them out loud in front of Tang Bai. 

Because Tang Bai would cry and report them under the name of “sexism.” He would then invite the most expensive lawyer to educate them.

However, the Xie Ruhang in the book, who was pretending to be an alpha, obviously couldn’t do this. He chose to strangle the neck of that big-mouthed alpha and say, word by word, “Don’t let me hear any more sexist words. Alphas aren’t more noble and valuable than omegas.”

His phoenix eyes were shining because of anger. It was like a phoenix spreading its wings after rising from the ashes.

Very handsome.

A certain spot in Tang Bai’s heart was suddenly struck. He started to somewhat like this protagonist shou who was unscientifically strong.

This Xie Ruhang was really an omega completely different from Tang Bai. He was born in the slums. A cruel and ambitious beast lived in his heart. He grabbed onto any chance to climb up. 

In order to join the military, he personally cut off his own gland. He was so ruthless that Tang Bai felt a chill up the back of his neck when he was reading about it.

The medicine that let an omega disguise as an alpha had large negative side effects. After injecting it for many years, although the average person in the interstellar era could live until they were two hundred years old, Xie Ruhang, however, couldn’t even live past forty. Even so, to realize his dream of joining the military, Xie Ruhang didn’t even bat an eye when injecting himself.

In order to ambush the enemy, Xie Ruhang often forgot to drink nutrient solutions, as if he could eat blood and gunpowder for meals. As time went on, he acquired very severe stomach problems.

In one battle, Xie Ruhang led a small combat team to win against a larger army with the help of luck. The price was almost losing his life on the battlefield. 

His subordinate sent the dying Xie Ruhang to the military’s doctor just as the disguising medicine wore off. Xie Ruhang’s true gender was then revealed. All the stars were in an uproar. They requested the military to take back Xie Ruhang’s military rank and let this deviant omega return to the right path. 

Even if this omega had already cut off his gland and wouldn’t go into estrus and influence anyone. 

That was a war without any gunpowder. No one supported Xie Ruhang. Even his adjutant Gu Tunan hid the thought of how good it would be if Xie Ruhang was obedient to his husband and taught his children in his heart.

The eyes of Xie Ruhang, who had never shed a tear no matter how many injuries he had suffered, finally reddened at that moment.

With his heavy injuries not fully healed yet, he walked into his mecha cockpit with his head high and his chest out, announcing to everyone that as long as an alpha could defeat him, he would instantly take off his military uniform.

That cruel and weak beast in Xie Ruhang’s heart waved its claws and bared its teeth. Even if his body was battered and bruised, he refused to lower his head.

Blood flowed over the entire cabin of the mecha, but the mecha he controlled majestically defeated all of his opponents. 

It was only at this moment that Tang Bai truly understood the implications behind “the light of the omegas”. He found out that Xie Ruhang really was shining and glowing. 

He watched Xie Ruhang return to the battlefield that he loved, shining brightly, becoming the marshal step by step. Countless eyes that were “prejudiced against omegas” watched him. Countless “alphas in power” tried various tactics to pull him down.

But the only thing that truly defeated Xie Ruhang was death.

He forever stopped at the night he was 37. He never saw the light of dawn at the end of the long night. He never saw the military lift the restrictions against omegas joining the army. He never saw more and more schools open towards omegas as well as the research institutes’ announcement that they were starting to research artificial uteruses. 

It was the first time that Tang Bai felt such sorrow and admiration towards an omega.

Born in the worst circumstances, not only was he not willing to accept it and didn’t allow himself to fall into depravity, but he also had an independent personality, unwaveringly sticking to his own goals. For the sake of achieving his goals, he was willing to sacrifice everything, including his own life.

Such a Xie Ruhang was like a martyr. 

On the road to equal rights for omegas, a martyr like Xie Ruhang had never appeared before, because the voices of omegas in this society were too small and could be easily suppressed. They couldn’t even sacrifice themselves. 

Although Tang Bai was the type of omega that was praised and held in high esteem by mainstream aesthetics, the type that liked to dress up beautifully, liked to watch the Paluru catwalk, liked to wear an apron and cook, came from a good family, and didn’t have to worry about food or water. He seemed especially suitable for this society.

But in fact, even Tang Bai could feel the oppression that was everywhere.

At the very least, Tang Bai had never forgotten that he really wanted a set of mecha toys when he was young. However, no matter how much he acted spoiled and shed tears, no one in his family bought it for him. They even threw away mecha models that he bought by saving up his allowance. 

An omega should like Paluru dolls.

Although Tang Bai didn’t hate Paluru stuff, why couldn’t he have both a full set of Paluru dolls and the galaxy series mecha models?

Tang Bai only thought about these things in his heart and never revealed them openly. As for taking things a step further, he had never thought about it. 

However, Xie Ruhang’s life was a strike of thunder, waking him up from his stupor. It made Tang Bai realize that this omega grew wildly in this society filled with prejudice towards omegas. The world was dark, so he used himself as a torch, becoming the sole source of light. 

He was completely worthy of the name “the light of the omegas”. 

Tang Bai was a very emotional little omega who cried easily. He could cry himself into a mess from reading about forced relationships in traditional omega romance novels. Now, it was even more impossible to stop the tears. 

In the eyes of Xie Ruhang, who didn’t know the truth behind it, it seemed like this omega had a quarrel with Gu Tunan. On the surface, he confidently argued back. But after Gu Tunan left, he quietly licked his wounds. The more he thought about it, the more wronged he felt. His two eyes held tears. 

Xie Ruhang froze. He saw Tang Bai’s curly eyelashes pick up tears that were like broken jade beads. His entire body gave off the feeling that he felt aggrieved, making people want to bully and protect him.

Xie Ruhang, who had always believed in the uselessness of tears, felt his Adam’s apple roll. He stared unblinkingly at Tang Bai’s red eyes, his red nose, and his trembling shoulders…

F**k…

That itch finally spread to the depths of his heart. There was a beast in his heart that was trying to break through the cage of reason and bite the back of that little omega’s neck.  

The back of Tang Bai’s neck felt cold. He subconsciously turned his head back and saw Gu Tunan, who was carrying the training meal, walking over.

“You cried?” Gu Tunan frowned and asked. 

Tang Bai didn’t think much of the sense of danger from just now. Instead, he glared at Gu Tunan with red eyes. 

It was precisely this scum alpha. When Xie Ruhang was at his most helpless, he actually looked forward to Xiu Ruhang going home and giving birth to children for him!

Ptui!!!

Gu Tunan was too self-centered. He didn’t know how to be considerate and take care of another person. As Xie Ruhang’s adjutant, if he had just paid more attention to Xie Ruhang’s diet, Xie Ruhang’s stomach disease in the later stages of the book wouldn’t have been so severe to the point that there was no cure. He didn’t take good care of Xie Ruhang at all!!!

Seeing that Tang Bai wanted to pounce over and bite him even though his face was filled with tears, Gu Tunan: “？？？”

Do you have to be so squeamish? I just didn’t eat your bento, and you’re this sad?

Right when Tang Bai wanted to say, “You trash. You didn’t even take good care of “the light of the omegas’,” he suddenly realized that what he read was just a novel.

That perfect “light of the omegas” was only a character in a novel. 

A huge sense of loss flooded over him. Tang Bai woodenly opened his mouth. Without holding any hope, he asked, “Do you know…Xie Ruhang?”

Hearing his question, Gu Tunan frowned. Puzzled, he looked towards the alpha sitting diagonally behind Tang Bai, “You need him for something? He is sitting right behind you.”

Tang Bai: “！！？？！？！！”

Tn: New Project! Currently, I might or might not drop it after a few chapters though since I want to put Who Dares Slander My Senior Brother and Thriller Trainee as my priority. I just found this one easy to translate and fun to read, so we’ll try out this project for the next few weeks and see how it goes. If I can handle it, we’ll keep it as a full on project. If not, then this might turn into a teaser. I’ll let you guys know in future notes.
