Being the Alpha Scumbag in a First Marriage Then Love Story

Chu Bai is an ordinary researcher stationed on the desolate resource-rich planet Fei Xing, responsible for a warship project. After years of service, he prepares to return to the capital star for a comfortable retirement. However, an accident during his journey causes him to transmigrate into a parallel universe. He awakens in the body of a university professor with the same name, who is the protagonist of a half-finished ABO romance novel. In this new world, Chu Bai possesses a 100% pheromone match with an Omega named Nian Keyi. The original novel’s plot involves the protagonist marrying Nian Keyi and falling in love afterward. Chu Bai, aware that completing the book’s plot will cause his presence in this world to dissipate, decides to finish the storyline efficiently to secure his future. He maintains a detached, scholarly demeanor while teaching mecha design at Luoyang Union University, where he also serves as the chief examiner for the graduation assessment, much to the terror of his students.

Nian Keyi is a second-year Star Battle Department student and a young captain known for his cold, authoritative presence. He is currently on practice classes on Guo Li Star when he is forced to return to Luo Star due to an unexpected heat cycle triggered by a tolerant-type Omega incident. Chu Bai travels to the star port to pick him up. Their first meeting is tense but charged with underlying attraction. Nian Keyi, though physically vulnerable due to his heat, maintains his pride and sharp tongue. Chu Bai, playing the role of the harmless fiancé, navigates the situation with calculated gentleness. He takes Nian Keyi to their marital home in District A, where he prepares for the Omega’s needs. The heat cycle forces them into close proximity, leading to a temporary marking that bonds their pheromones. This physiological event shifts the dynamic between them, creating an involuntary emotional connection that neither can fully ignore.

As the heat cycle subsides, the two begin to interact more frequently. Nian Keyi introduces Chu Bai to his childhood friends, the twins Chang Ran and Chang Ye, who are skeptical of the arranged marriage. They engage in a holographic warship battle game called "Battle," where Chu Bai reveals unexpected tactical brilliance. During a match, Chu Bai deliberately causes their team to lose by bombing their own star port, resulting in a public humiliation for Nian Keyi on the school network. Despite the embarrassment, the incident reveals Chu Bai’s playful and manipulative side, which intrigues Nian Keyi. The twins eventually accept Chu Bai, though Chang Ran remains suspicious. Chu Bai also interacts with his subordinate, Chu Lan, who runs a warship manufacturing company. Chu Lan reveals political connections involving the Prime Minister, the Marshal, and influential families, hinting at a larger conflict involving a newly discovered Golden Wolf mine on X75 Star.

The story progresses toward the formalization of their relationship. Chu Bai retrieves the access key for a custom warship, the Z2-C9, which he designed as a wedding gift for Nian Keyi. The narrative highlights the contrast between Chu Bai’s outwardly calm, academic persona and his inner strategic mind, shaped by his previous life as a researcher. Nian Keyi, initially resistant to the arranged marriage, finds himself increasingly drawn to Chu Bai’s competence and the security provided by their pheromone bond. The chapter ends with Chu Bai returning to the marital home, expecting to register their marriage, but finding Nian Keyi absent. The tension between their arranged union and genuine attraction sets the stage for further development, as political undercurrents and personal desires begin to intertwine.
