CHAPTER 1 The Omega Who Fell from the Future

Wei Wuxian opened his eyes and immediately knew something was wrong.

The ceiling above him was made of carved wood, not concrete. The air smelled like incense, not smoke and machines. His clothes were long, white, and tied with a ribbon.

“This is not my apartment,” he muttered.

A sharp pain hit his head, and unfamiliar memories flooded his mind.

Omega.

Ancient era.

Gusu Dukedom.

Wei Wuxian sat up. “You’re telling me I died in the future and woke up as an omega?”

A calm voice echoed in his mind.

Timeline stabilized.

Wei Wuxian sighed. “Of course.”

Before he could think more, the door opened.

A servant bowed deeply. “Young Master Wei, the imperial decree has arrived.”

“Ah,” Wei Wuxian said lazily. “That sounds dangerous.”

Arranged to the Cold Duke

The imperial hall was silent.

Wei Wuxian stood among strangers, trying not to laugh at how serious everyone looked.

The minister cleared his throat.

“By order of His Majesty, Wei Wuxian shall marry Duke Lan Wangji of Gusu.”

Wei Wuxian blinked. “That was fast.”

Heavy footsteps echoed.

Lan Wangji entered the hall.

Tall. Calm. Cold eyes. Alpha aura strong enough to make other alphas step back.

Wei Wuxian looked him up and down.

Wow. Handsome. Deadly. Definitely dangerous.

Lan Wangji looked at Wei Wuxian.

And stopped.

For the first time in years, his heart skipped.

“This is my omega,” Lan Wangji said quietly.

Wei Wuxian raised an eyebrow. “Sir, you don’t even know me.”

Lan Wangji nodded. “I will learn.”

The minister asked nervously, “Duke Lan… do you accept?”

“I accept.”

No hesitation.

Wei Wuxian smiled. “Guess I’m married now.”

Living with the Duke

The Duke’s residence was too quiet.

Wei Wuxian noticed it the moment he stepped inside. No shouting servants, no loud conversations, no unnecessary movement. Everything was neat, clean, and calm.

“This place feels like a library that learned how to walk,” Wei Wuxian said.

The servants froze.

Lan Wangji paused, then said calmly, “If you dislike it, I can change it.”

Wei Wuxian blinked. “No, no. I was joking. It’s… peaceful.”

Lan Wangji nodded, as if this answer mattered a lot.

Wei Wuxian was given a large room connected directly to the Duke’s chambers.

He stared at the door between them.

“…That’s fast,” he muttered.

A servant whispered, “Young Master, you are the Duke’s omega now.”

Wei Wuxian waved his hand. “Relax. I don’t bite. Usually.”

That evening, they had dinner together.

Lan Wangji sat straight, elegant, silent.

Wei Wuxian ate like he hadn’t seen food in days.

Lan Wangji quietly placed more dishes near him.

Wei Wuxian noticed. “You’re feeding me like I’m a rare animal.”

“You are important,” Lan Wangji replied.

Wei Wuxian paused for half a second, then smiled.

“You say scary things very calmly, Duke.”

Lan Wangji looked at him seriously. “Do you want me to stop?”

Wei Wuxian laughed. “No. It’s kind of nice.”

After dinner, Lan Wangji spoke again.

“There are rules,” he said.

Wei Wuxian leaned forward. “I knew it.”

Lan Wangji continued, “You may go anywhere in the dukedom.

You may study, train, or rest.

No one may command you except me.”

Wei Wuxian raised a finger. “And you?”

Lan Wangji met his eyes. “I will ask, not command.”

Wei Wuxian stared at him, surprised.

“…You really are a green flag.”

“I still do not know this flag,” Lan Wangji said.

Wei Wuxian laughed so hard he almost fell off the chair.

That night, Wei Wuxian lay on the bed, staring at the ceiling.

Cold duke. Powerful alpha. Respectful. Handsome.

This marriage might not be terrible.

In the next room, Lan Wangji stood silently.

He listened to Wei Wuxian’s breathing through the wall.

My omega is safe, he thought.

That is enough.
