Chapter 1

“A beta marrying General Pei You is your good fortune. If you publicize this matter, you know full well what the consequences will be,” the Su family’s steward said sarcastically.

Su Ling kept his head lowered. His overly long hair half-covered his face, revealing only the sharp tip of a thin chin. He wore a new white suit that was too large for him, making his already slender frame look even smaller.

“I’m talking to you! Behave yourself! Did you hear me clearly?” The steward spoke arrogantly, not taking Su Ling seriously at all.

“I know,” Su Ling replied in a soft voice that sounded a little muffled.

The steward looked at him with pure disgust and waved his hand impatiently. “Go on, go on.” Useless trash.

Su Ling walked toward the hover car. The only thing accompanying him as a dowry was a single household robot.

No ceremony. No guests. No wedding gifts. No wedding blessings… On a pitch-black night, Su Ling married quietly.

Not a single member of the main family came. Only a few servants “saw him off.”

“General Pei You is the strongest alpha, young and handsome—the dream lover of so many people.”

“Yeah, so what if he’s paralyzed? Maybe that little slut Su Ling can climb on top of him himself.”

“Hahaha, they call him a general, but who knows if he can even still use it!”

“Looks good but useless. Afraid someone’s going to grow grass on his head. Hehehe.”

“Look at the way he walks, striding so fast, like he’s eager to get married. Shameless little bitch, already craving a man.”

The car door closed, cutting off the servants’ mocking laughter. Su Ling clenched his fists tightly, his face flushed red with anger.

Sitting alone in the hover car, he felt he could somewhat understand the original owner’s actions.

That’s right—Su Ling was one of the transmigration army.

He had just graduated high school and gotten into a good university, full of hope and expectations for the future. Then an accident killed him, and somehow he had transmigrated into a book.

Getting a second life should have been a good thing, but transmigrating on the original owner’s wedding day made Su Ling feel his life was in serious danger. The original owner had died at the hands of the male lead, the general!

Not long ago, General Pei You had been injured in a battle and was completely paralyzed. Apart from being able to move his eyeballs, he couldn’t move at all.

His original fiancé—the omega most compatible with him, Su Qingluan—was unwilling to marry a cripple and wanted to call off the engagement. But Pei You had repelled the invading insectoids and protected the safety of the entire interstellar space. He was hailed as Nalan Star’s God of War. Online public opinion was flooded with prayers for his recovery.

At this time, the Su family didn’t dare cancel the engagement. After several discussions, they decided on a substitute marriage. They chose the least popular original owner—a beta—and secretly married him off under cover of night.

The original owner had a gloomy personality, was jealous and vain. He didn’t dare resist the suffering he endured and could only curse endlessly in his heart. After unwillingly marrying the male lead Pei You, he used every vicious method he could think of on Pei You.

In the end, the true male lead appeared to redeem Pei You, and the original owner died a miserable death.

Su Ling felt a little guilty. Of course he wouldn’t humiliate the general or commit all sorts of evil, but he couldn’t guarantee he could change the original owner’s fate. He had to divorce before the general recovered!

He turned to look out the window. Towering buildings, hover cars coming and going—not a single bit of greenery in sight. Everything was so strange and cold.

Fewer and fewer buildings entered his field of vision.

The hover car landed in front of a heavy metal gate.

“Madam of the General, YD3571972408 greets you,” a mechanical electronic voice said from the mouth of a square humanoid robot. “Please follow me.”

Hearing that form of address, Su Ling shuddered, but he still politely thanked it and followed.

The house was nearly two thousand square meters. Silver-gray metal walls paired with black metal furniture gave off a cold and solemn feeling. There was not a single decoration to indicate that the master of the house was newly married.

It didn’t feel like a home. It felt like an iron coffin. Following behind the robot, Su Ling muttered inwardly that living in a place like this might turn someone even more mechanical than a robot.

He had thought the bedroom would be better. Unexpectedly, it was even colder and more austere. A deep-gray sheet covered the silver-gray bed. The general lay on it wearing black pajamas—pure black with not a single pattern, looking for all the world like a corpse.

The general had a large frame. Even lying down, one could see the faint outline of his chest muscles. His figure was excellent.

Suddenly meeting a pair of cold eyes, Su Ling jumped in fright.

Those pitch-black pupils seemed not to see Su Ling at all. They glanced at him once, then turned away again to stare at the ceiling.

Su Ling didn’t know how to react. Thinking that he might die at this man’s hands left him uneasy. But the man was indeed handsome—sharp features, a high nose bridge, even his eyelashes long and curled. A face carved finely by God, so perfect it made one feel inadequate.
