I was shocked. Does this guy go out and fight every day? Why does he always have new wounds?

And really, who gets injured there in a fight?

I stood there, dumbfounded.

A minute passed, and I was still staring at it, not knowing what to do.

The room was filled with the overpowering scent of pheromones and the rich smell of fresh blood seeping from the wound. It constantly teased my senses.

His blood really was delicious, but the location of the injury was too awkward.

Who… Who even gets hurt there…

But if I didn’t eat today, I’d be starving again.

I rubbed my empty stomach, torn between two thoughts fighting in my head.

Just as I hesitated, the person who had been “asleep” slowly opened his eyes.

“Not going to eat today?”

---

I fell to the ground with a thud, my soul almost leaving my body.

Even when he got out of bed to help me up, I was still trembling uncontrollably.

I stammered, “You… you knew all along?”

He raised an eyebrow, “Knew what? That you snuck home with me, crawled into my bed in the middle of the night, or that you secretly wore my clothes and underwear?”

I froze on the spot, completely petrified. So, he knew everything from the very beginning.

I quickly bowed and apologized, “I’m sorry, I’m so sorry,” and hurriedly explained my reasons for doing it.

He walked over to the bar and poured himself a glass of red wine. In the dim light, he looked like a high-ranking vampire duke—noble, elegant, calm, and composed.

Through our conversation, I learned his name: Xi Chenyi.

“So, you’re a vampire who transmigrated here? And you’re following me just because my blood tastes good?”

“Mm-hmm.” I nodded, worried he’d misunderstand, and quickly added, “But I’m not freeloading! I help clean your house during the day!”

“Heh.” Xi Chenyi chuckled lightly, then asked, “How old are you?”

“19.”

In the interstellar age, adulthood is 20.

Xi Chenyi seemed to grind his teeth, “Tsk, still just an underage little vampire.”

“Can you control your pheromones?”

I blinked in confusion, “Pheromones can be controlled?”

Xi Chenyi sighed and pinched the bridge of his nose, “Ever since you started following me, your pheromones have been all over the place.”

“Right now, this entire room is filled with your scent.”

“Sutang, I’m an adult Alpha too.”

Last night’s “meal” was Xi Chenyi cutting his finger and letting me suck the blood. But his hand wouldn’t stay still, constantly stirring around.

Early in the morning, he took me to get registered as a legal citizen of the Federation.

Then, he bought me lots of clothes, most of which he personally selected.

When it came to buying underwear, he found the right size for me with ease and nonchalantly said, “Next time, don’t wear mine. The size is too big for you.”

The sales staff nearby couldn’t stop laughing, teasing, “Your husband treats you so well.”

I clenched my fists, wanting to punch him. How could he say something so personal with such a straight face? What about my dignity?

Besides, it’s not like I used to wear such a small size. I only shrank because I transmigrated as an Omega!

Finally, he sent me to a university not far from home.

Through the internet, I learned his true identity: a General of the Federation.

Not only did he have the highest-level pheromones, but his mental strength was off the charts.

The number of Omegas chasing him could form a line from the Federation to the Empire.

“No wonder he always has wounds,” I muttered.

No surprise there—being a Federation General, he’s such a good person. Even after learning I transmigrated here, he helped me get registered, though we weren’t in the same household.

“Hey, still looking at Xi Chenyi?” My seatmate glanced at my phone screen. “Stop dreaming, he’s out of our league.”

Several Omegas in front overheard and turned around to protest:

“Who says he’s out of reach? Old Master Xi once said if he hasn’t married an Omega by 30, they’ll force him into a pairing.”

“Exactly! He’s only one month away from turning 30. What if we get lucky?”

“Heh, didn’t you see today’s news? Xi Chenyi has already been seen entering a hotel with an Omega. You really think you still have a chance?”

---

That comment kept echoing in my head even as I got into the car.

Just then, I received a news notification.

“Shocking! Xi Chenyi and Omega Star Seen Entering Hotel Together. Omega Responds: Preparing for Marriage.”

One of the images was of Xi Chenyi and an Omega celebrity, Cheng Yuzhen, walking into the hotel together. Cheng Yuzhen was holding onto Xi Chenyi’s sleeve, and they appeared very close.

Another image was a screenshot from Cheng Yuzhen’s personal device: “Thank you all for your blessings. We’re currently preparing for the wedding.”

Netizens were already gossiping wildly, and the comment section had exploded.

Congratulations, congratulations! General Xi is about to tie the knot.

Hmph, I was still hoping for that one-in-a-million chance to pair with Xi Chenyi. Guess that’s over.

The world’s most bitter candy is Xi Chenyi’s wedding candy; the most bitter wine is his wedding wine; and the hardest thing to bear is his wedding day. Tonight, thousands will cry themselves to sleep!

I twitched, feeling a bit awkward. Could they stop being so cheesy? It was giving me goosebumps.

Most comments were offering congratulations, but some weren’t as optimistic.

Am I the only one who thinks these two don’t suit each other at all? Xi Chenyi’s face looks terrible.

An Omega fan quickly replied:

His face looks bad because he was caught by the paparazzi. General Xi was trying to protect our dear Zhen, but they got photographed and exposed ahead of time, so of course he’s not happy.

Uh… you’ve got quite the imagination, haven’t you?

If you’re jealous of our Zhen, just say so. You’re such a loser. You’re not even worthy of Xi Chenyi’s toe! Go wash up and dream on.

We vampires don’t have a word for “loser,” so I looked it up online.

To summarize, it boils down to three words: short, poor, ugly.
