Summary from Novel Updates:The top alpha, Major General Ji Cheying, disguises himself as a down-on-his-luck beta in order to carry out a secret mission. One day, when he goes out to take out the garbage, while wearing a pair of torn socks, he comes across the poor nephew of his landlord, Xie Quan, a good-looking beta who was staying in the dirty and terrible bas**ent.
The two look at each other, each feeling a little sorry for the other.
No one expected that one of these two miserable people was the prestigious Major General Ji and the other was the most powerful mecha engineer in the Empire. And to Ji Cheying’s further surprise, this beautiful beta confessed his passionate love for him!
He was torn again and again under the prudent choice to refuse the other, after all, this is a mission, not the time to talk about love.
When the mission was over and it was time to talk about love, it was Xie Quan’s turn to become baffled, “Who do you think likes you? Who confessed? I didn’t, I’m not, don’t talk nonsense.”
Ji Cheying: ???!
It was only then that Xie Quan unexpectedly realized that the Imperial Major General seemed to have mistakenly thought that he was in love with him.
A few months later, Major General Ji, who had entered his susceptible period, was violent and fierce, not able to be approached by strangers. However, his eyes were red and he was tugging at Xie Quan, his voice hoarse, “You little liar, cheating on my feelings and not taking responsibility.”
Xie Quan sighed, lifted his hair, and tore off the invisible gland patch, finally revealing the omega gland at the back of his neck, “Bite it. I’ll give you a bite.”
Ji Cheying gritted his teeth, “You’re a f*cking omega?”
True love has nothing to do with identity and gender.
3.5 STARS - I LIKED IT
MY REVIEW:
Don't let the summary fool you; the actual gender reveal doesn't exactly happen like described. It's definitely more serious than described lol.
I was also mainly expecting action and comedy based on the summary and tags on Novel Updates, so I was surprised by the amount of suspense and mystery throughout the book. It kept me hooked, that's for sure! However, I felt like the author was too wordy at times trying to drag out the suspense by rehashing scenarios from different people's perspective.
Xie Quan was a rare cold and intelligent omega love interest. I loved how rational and calm Xie Quan was, even in the face of his pheromones going out of control. He was cold hearted, logical, and smart, which helped him out of many situations that could have gone south quickly.
On the contrary, Ji Cheying was a rare male lead alpha who also had a super tight control on his emotions and pheromones. Best of all, the man knows consent! Even in the midst of his susceptible period! They really were meant for each other, but man, they had to go through so much to get there.
Also disappointed there were no extras. I want to see how they spent their future together!
