SYNOPSIS:
At eighteen, Lou Huan was kicked out of his family home and went to seek refuge with his young uncle who lived in Blue Core City. Rumor had it that this uncle was wealthy, lived a life of pleasure, and had a special taste for playing with young Alphas.
Lou Huan, an S-Rank Alpha, lifted an eyebrow. …’If he tries anything funny, I’ll knock him out cold.’
And then, standing in the rain, he met Shen Wei. The wind blew through Shen Wei’s long hair; he held an umbrella over Lou Huan’s head, while at the same time… tilting Lou Huan’s chin up with his fingers. “Not bad looking.”
Lou Huan: “……”
Just as Lou Huan was about to knock Shen Wei unconscious, Shen Wei let go of his chin. “Call me ‘Uncle’, and I’ll take you home.”
Lou Huan looked at the man in front of him, who was clearly not much older than he was, and spoke reluctantly. “Brother.”
—
As the youngest captain of the Rebel Army, Lou Huan was sent to Blue Core City with a mission: get close to Shen Wei, who was known to work closely with the city’s ruler, and steal intelligence.
A few days later, acting on the information he had obtained, the Rebel Army surrounded the City Heart, laying siege to the ruler—an enigmatic figure described as cold, ruthless, and cruel, whom no one had ever seen in person.
Only Lou Huan paused when he caught a glimpse of the masked ruler in the negotiation footage, carefully hiding the emotion that flashed through his eyes.
That night, the young captain slipped into the City Heart unseen, pressing an energy blade against the ruler’s neck. “Come with me.”
The ruler, feared for his coldness and cruelty, simply smiled. He took off his mask and looked at the young assassin with that familiar teasing glint. “Long time no see, my cheap nephew. Call me ‘Uncle’.”
Lou Huan froze for a moment, then lowered the blade. He looked calmly at Shen Wei. “Wife.”

Short Story Excerpt:
One morning much later, Lou Huan stood in silence, looking at the messy bed and the marks covering Shen Wei’s skin. Just the night before, Shen Wei had nearly passed out from the intensity of their bond. Yet here he was, finding the energy to tease him.
He tilted Lou Huan’s chin up and kissed the corner of his mouth casually. “Baby, everyone says I’m the one who likes ‘playing with Alphas’. But honestly… who is the one playing whom here?”
In response, Lou Huan bit down on Shen Wei’s lips just as he was about to pull away, and pushed him back down onto the bed. “Let’s play again.”
