Matched to a Violent Alpha as an Omega

Shi Chan is an omega who transmigrated from a brutal cultivation world, where he survived as a rogue cultivator before dying during his Golden Core tribulation. In his new life, he possesses the rare and beautiful body of an omega in a futuristic empire that enforces mandatory marriage to combat declining birth rates. Although his fiancé, Major General Xu Lihan, publicly announces his engagement to another omega just before Shi Chan’s twentieth birthday, Shi Chan remains remarkably calm. He views the empire’s society as a peaceful refuge compared to his past life, where he was constantly hunted and nearly consumed by others. Despite his family’s expectation that he should be devastated, Shi Chan is more concerned with maintaining his comfortable, low-stress lifestyle. He has secretly cultivated to the fourth level of Qi Refining, giving him physical strength far beyond that of a typical omega, and he plans to use this power to protect his independence.

Shi Chan’s family, led by his father Shi Wen and mother Li Manman, treats him as a commodity to be traded for social and financial gain. When Xu Lihan breaks the engagement, Shi Wen is furious not because of his son’s heartbreak, but because he loses a prestigious alliance. The Shi family accepts compensation from the Xu family and attempts to arrange a new marriage for Shi Chan within the one-year delay period granted by the system. However, Shi Chan is matched with Xi Ming, a lieutenant general disgraced for the catastrophic loss of the 823 border incident. Xi Ming is widely hated by the public, rumored to be severely injured by radiation, and living in isolation. Despite the stigma, Xi Ming was never officially convicted, allowing him to remain in the marriage matching pool. Shi Chan’s parents, seeing an opportunity to curry favor with the patriotic Xi family, secretly negotiate the marriage without consulting Shi Chan, effectively selling him into the union.

Shi Chan confronts his parents and demands to sever all familial ties as a condition for agreeing to the marriage. He uses his hidden strength and knowledge of the Xi family’s reputation to intimidate his father into submission. After formally cutting ties with Shi Wen and Li Manman, Shi Chan travels to the Xi family’s old residence. There, he meets Xi Hanrong, a distant relative who warns him to take care of his cousin. Upon arriving, Shi Chan is greeted by staff who are awestruck by his beauty. He is led to his quarters, which are luxurious and well-appointed, a stark contrast to the cold isolation Xi Ming has endured for years. The staff informs him that Xi Ming rarely leaves his room and has driven away all previous servants due to his volatile mental state.

That evening, Shi Chan hears distressed noises from Xi Ming’s room and enters to find the alpha in the midst of a severe mental energy outburst. Xi Ming, suffering from radiation-induced physical deterioration and psychological trauma, is on the verge of losing his sanity. He initially tries to drive Shi Chan away to protect him, but Shi Chan, recognizing the man he once admired as a hero in his youth, chooses to stay. Shi Chan uses his spiritual energy to soothe Xi Ming’s turbulent mind, a process that requires a temporary mark. Xi Ming, driven by instinct and desperation, marks Shi Chan on the neck. The act establishes a spiritual bond that calms Xi Ming’s pain and stabilizes his condition. For the first time in years, Xi Ming experiences peace, and Shi Chan finds himself drawn to the alpha’s protective nature.

The next morning, Xi Ming questions Shi Chan about his motives, suspecting he was sent as a tool for political gain or medical relief. Shi Chan admits he was forced into the marriage but chose to sever his family ties to avoid being treated as a pawn. He also reveals his genuine admiration for Xi Ming, referencing the old title of “Commander of the Stars.” This honesty disarms Xi Ming, who has grown to despise the empire and its citizens. Xi Ming decides to keep Shi Chan by his side, not out of love, but because the omega’s presence provides essential mental relief. He grants Shi Chan authority over the household and shares his assets, signaling a shift in their dynamic. As they begin to navigate their new life together, Xi Ming remains focused on his plan to watch the empire crumble, while Shi Chan seeks a quiet existence, unaware that his cultivation skills and unique perspective may alter the course of their shared future.
