When Yun Changsheng heard the doctor’s words, he was so frightened that he almost fainted. It took a lot of effort to stand firm.
He was still dreaming of “my son marrying into the royal family” moments ago, and now, the doctor told him that Yun Xingze has become a beta.
The huge gap between his broken dream and reality made him fall directly from heaven to hell.
“Doctor, I beg you, you must find a way to save him!” Yun Changsheng grabbed the doctor’s arm anxiously, his voice trembling. “He has been an omega since he was a child. If he becomes a beta, he might as well die!”
The doctor glanced at Yun Changsheng helplessly, and replied, “Sir, your son was obviously stimulated. The action of cutting the gland was very forceful, and this kind of trauma will only lead to those pheromone-synthesizing cells dying… It’s irreversible.”
“How is this possible. How hard can a person afraid of pain cut down so hard?” Yun Changsheng couldn’t believe this fact. “I don’t care, doctor. You must rescue his glands! You must know, he is someone the Second Highness likes…”
Luo Wenchuan frowned, utterly disgusted by Yun Changsheng’s words.
To him, it didn’t matter what gender Yun Xingze was.
However, no matter who it is, changing gender overnight is probably unacceptable.
Luo Wenchuan was a little worried that Yun Xingze would be sad when he woke up, so he asked the doctor, “Is there really no way to recover?”
After a moment of silence, the doctor replied, “Sorry, Your Highness, we have done our best.”
Luo Wenchuan stood there with no expression on his face, but his fingers tightened unconsciously.
Beside him, Yun Changsheng was so remorseful that he was about to cry. His face turned pale, and he muttered to himself: “It’s over, it’s over now…”
The doctor turned to leave. Luo Wenchuan closed his eyes, restraining the emotions in his eyes, and calmly walked into the ward, closing the door to block Yun Changsheng and Qin Shuang’s sights.
He acted very calm and peaceful.
If it wasn’t for the uncontrollable force in the sound of the door closing, Qin Shuang would have mistakenly thought that Luo Wenchuan held no sadness in his heart.
But Qin Shuang knew that at this moment, the saddest person was Luo Wenchuan.
Seeing Yun Changsheng wiping tears with regret, Qin Shuang frowned at him and said, “Okay, isn’t Xingze okay? What if he is became a beta. I think it’s pretty good, maybe he can do better in NCLM…”
“What do you know, woman?!” Yun Changsheng glared at her. “Didn’t you see that the second prince likes Yun Xingze. Our son was going to become the crown princess! Becoming beta now, how could the family still want him?”
In Yun Changsheng’s view, Yun Xingze becoming beta is no different from being a waste person.
Qin Shuang didn’t want to talk to Yun Changsheng anymore.
Up to now, Yun Changsheng still regards Yun Xingze as a tool at his disposal.
“Plus, the Chi family doesn’t want him anymore. How can we continue getting information from the Mecha Research Institute in the future?” Thinking of this, Yun Changsheng hope was completely gone, and he wanted to die. “It’s really a loss… My son, technology…”
Inside, Luo Wenchuan sat next to the medical cabin.
The hatch opened slowly, and the person inside continued sleeping.
Yun Xingze didn’t seem to be sleeping very well; his eyebrows were slightly wrinkled.
Luo Wenchuan stretched out his hand, gently smoothing the center of his brows, and brushed his rough fingertips across his smooth skin, as if he was touching the most precious treasure.
Numerous messages kept pouring into Luo Wenchuan’s terminal.
People from the royal family are questioning why he left the conference in public.
Classmates asked him curiously why he concealed his identity.
Teammates excitedly congratulated him on becoming the heir.
Everyone who knew Luo Wenchuan seemed to have sent him messages at this momentous moment.
But Luo Wenchuan’s eyes could only hold Yun Xingze, the one person who couldn’t respond to him for the time being.
At this time, Luo Wenchuan suddenly remembered that Yun Xingze had sent him a few messages before the engagement banquet started.
He only read the message that contained the location, and he didn’t have time to read the rest of it.
Luo Wenchuan turned on his optical brain and clicked on the dialog between him and Yun Xingze.
[Senior, I’m at the Price Hotel, let’s go back to Noah Star together after the end.] Sending time: 4:40 pm.
[Senior Dachuan, I may not be able to accompany you back toight.] Sending time: 4:52 pm.
From the beginning of looking forward to returning to Noah Star with Luo Wenchuan, to the later ‘I can’t accompany you back’.
Luo Wenchuan had no way of knowing what happened during this time, but he guessed that Yun Xingze should have learned the truth about the engagement banquet.
When he sent this message, Yun Xingze should have been ready to cut his glands.
Luo Wenchuan couldn’t imagine how decisive Yun Xingze was to make up his mind to cut his glands in just twelve minutes.
The next two lines suddenly stung Luo Wenchuan’s eyes
[The smell of roses.]
[Don’t forget.]
The last two messages were sent at 4:58 pm.
Luo Wenchuan’s pupils suddenly shrank, and his fingers trembled slightly.
Before cutting his gland, Yun Xingze was afraid that Luo Wenchuan would never be able to smell his pheromones in the future, and specially sent a message to tell him not to forget that his pheromone smelled-
Like roses.
After a long time.
Luo Wenchuan turned off the optical brain that was still receiving news.
He fell into a long, sad silence.
Luo Wenchuan didn’t know how Yun Xingze sent these two messages.
Seeing Yun Xingze’s sleeping face, he couldn’t help pursing his thin lips, and his eyes turned red.
Time passed by, and in the quiet ward where only the ticking of the instrument could be heard, Luo Wenchuan’s hoarse voice sounded, with a strong guilt: “…I’m sorry, Xingze.”
Luo Wenchuan’s throat rolled. His heart was full of regret and remorse.
If only he could find out about the royal family’s movements sooner.
If he could stay by Yun Xingze’s all the time.
If he hadn’t given the self-defense box to Yun Xingze…
Then Yun Xingze might not have to suffer all this.
Thinking of this, Luo Wenchuan summoned his courage and slowly raised his eyes to look at the gland on the right side of Yun Xingze’s neck.
The wound was bandaged, but the sight stabbed Luo Wenchuan’s eyes.
It told him this was irreversible.
Luo Wenchuan slowly stretched out his hand, wanting to touch Yun Xingze’s cheek, but stopped in mid-air.
In the end, he swallowed and said in a hoarse and soft voice: “I will always remember… Your pheromone smells like roses.”
Compared with the sadness and quietness in the hospital, the online forums have already exploded into a bloody storm.
The first thing is news of the heir, which directly paralyzed the largest forum for ten seconds.
The second prince, who came back from the barren star, left midway in a public press conference, but the king still established him as the heir.
Every word of this news whetted the appetite of the people.
The second is the amendment to the Marriage Act. That the law of “highly matched alphas and omegas must be bonded” being expanded from the barren stars across the whole country.
This bill has been criticized by many people, but because it only affected the barren stars, most people had an attitude that it had nothing to do with them.
But with this new amendment, it sparked unprecedented heated discussions. Most voices were strongly objecting.
Just when these two pieces of news attracted the attention of the entire empire and even the Federation, a third piece of the hottest news appeared on the hot search-
Yun Xingze cut his glands in public at the engagement banquet.
If it were an ordinary omega, perhaps this news could only be regarded as a relatively big social news.
However, Yun Xingze has recently made a big splash in NCLM, and his popularity has risen. Moreover, his fiance is Chi Yu, the son of General Chi Yin, and Luo Wenchuan, the new heir to the royal family, is also involved.
For a time, the public’s attention to this news was no less than that of the heir or marriage law.
Someone at the scene recorded the video and uploaded it to the empire’s largest news site.
Every sentence Yun Xingze said at the banquet satirized the Yun and Chi families, and criticized the oppression of omega by the rule-makers. Every word wept with blood, and his calm tone echoing through the hall had a huge impact.
The moment he cut his gland, all the omegas felt astonishingly refreshed and heart-wrenching pain.
“God, this is too painful… I really admire Yun Xingze’s courage!”
“To be honest, if it were me, I probably wouldn’t dare to cut it. But it would be more painful for me to get engaged to someone I don’t like. ”
“Seeing those two families who forced the marriage and regretting it, I just want to say they deserve it! Although I feel sorry for Yun Xingze, he is very cool. The value of omegas is not determined by glands!”
“So, in the end, what is the point of such a marriage bill?!”
“People called to boycott this bill a long time ago. At that time, everyone thought it had nothing to do with them. Now it’s our turn. Who can still say it’s not their affair?”
“Yun Xingze, he has strength, ability, and courage, so he dared do this. But even more omegas will be silently swallowed by this unfair bill.”
“The scary thing is that some people are swallowed up without knowing it.”
Y’know, the thing I don’t get is why the gov’t, king, etc., think the public won’t backlash. 🤨

Counting fingers for the next chapter 😁
Govt probably not worrying about backlash is probs due to their military strength ? Considering Chi Yin’s attitude there’s probably a lot of people in power who thinks like that too 🤷 Thanks for the update!!!
Thanks for the chapter! Yun Changsheng is disgusting
Social conditioning. Remember at the beginning even pre reincarnation xingze only loved chi yu because they were matched. In the core well matched pairs were described to always be happy together and the whole empire knows that only the highest match can marry the royal family it was only on the border worlds where the rule was inforced before that the ‘truth’ of ‘high compatability’ revealed that it wasn’t sunshine and roses and no one in the core of the empire believed it because the border world were poor backwater hicks/criminals
That’s exactly it.
Cannot wait for YXZ’s scientific/mech skills to be revealed and faceslap everyone who thinks his only worth is as an omega.
And I’m really hoping Luo Wenchuan’s guilt isn’t going to make YXZ think that Luo Wenchuan only likes him because he was an omega. PLEASE COMMUNICATE WITH EACH OTHER!! I also think YXZ is super cool for being so decisive in cutting his gland; hoping Luo Wenchuan will understand that soon too and stop feeling guilty all the time…
He’s become an inspiration for a cause and Luo Wenchuan shouldn’t regret sending the self-defense package. Omegas do need the ability to defend themselves now more than ever. I’m glad we get to see activists making the points that unlike Yun Xingze, many omegas will not be able to avoid forced marriages and some may die trying to get rid of their glands. He is the single success story (lived, unengaged) out of thousands if not millions of tragedies. And this tragedy was alpha-made. Marriage itself is rooted in ownership of omegas. In this society, marriage is the transaction of property as well as power, as shown when Yun Xingze was about to be sold off for spoilers in the mecha design industry. Alphas don’t even view omegas as people. We have no idea the scope of this mindset but pretty much every governing official with legislative power either already believes this or could be bribed to agree with it. Not a great look for any of them.
If the Chi or Yun families try to slander Yun Xingze in the future, the public probably won’t trust them based on this clip alone. Both families’ delusions have been caught in 64k HD. This video had better be used in the court case because it is a goldmine of guilt.
Thanks for the chapter! I’m glad he’s stable
Thank you very much.♡♡♡♡
Thanks for the chapter!
Thanks for the chapter <33
that mecha institute is gonna lose it’s sh*t…
actually, yxz’s act of cutting his glands never made me happy or feel like he’s so cool or badass. I LOVE AND HATE THAT SCENE SO MUCH. yxz’s act speaks for itself, the law itself literally shows how oppressed omegas are. it’s discimination against one whole gender. I FUCKING DESPISE THE LAWMAKERS. what kind of bill is that. the situation is too bad that yxz even decided to change his gender. IM SO SAD IM CRYING, LIKE, LITERALLY.
I don’t think the King and Queen decided on LWC as the heir bc they genuinely want him to be the future king. They chased him away from the capital the first time he showed his strength/ambition. They ignored his wellbeing. And, naming an heir at this time of conflict with the other power, they’re basically painting a target on his back and saying ‘actually, just kill this one and the future we envisioned won’t be bright anymore’. Plus what the Queen did to YXZ (basically getting fid of the only known omega whose pheromones LWC wasn’t allergic to). That’s why I think they did it only to keep the first Prince safe. Hoping the enemy would get rid of LWC for them.
As for this fiasco with the gender, I agree with what one commenter said earlier – they didn’t expect any backlash from the law since they always promoted the idea that the higher the match rate, the greater the happiness. Since this was implemented only on border lands, the people who had the power to resist the law wouldn’t have the knowledge the law isn’t as good as it sounds. So yeah, it’s exactly how the previous person said it – social conditioning.
Potential spoiler alert: why do you think LWC became the villain in the original novel?
I’m wondering if this is going to start a revolution, numbers of omegas cutting their glands and I’m kind of here for it. They shouldn’t be prompted to a lifelong torture. with somebody try don’t like. And what do omega glands even do for them? Make them hard to have choices during their estrus. Make them susceptible to SA. Like what? id cut my glands long ago in that situation.
Bless the cute translator for asking why the gov’t thought they could do this and no one would backlash.
The banning of reproductive choices in most US States, the woman currently on trial for her miscarriage. The 10 year old forced to a full term pregnancy.
The Chinese government “encouraging” women to have kids as their civic duty.
The general hatred to anyone on the LGBTQ spectrum, especially the non gender-conforming ones.
The world doesn’t really care, we have to make them care.
Of course government don’t really care about backlash most of the time. They’d play stupid, trivialize the horrible decisions they made as if people are stupid, ridicule the people for our exaggerated reactions. I’m experiencing it currently in my country and it’s probably happening in many places. It’s really ugly.
Stupid and selfisjh, they think they have the power, so they can force their ways on others, especially on the weak ones
Thank You for the new chapter (*’∀’人)♥
me thinking, if LWS state a coup and ally to alliance.
Like we really don’t know if alliance is bad. It just view as opposed as we are on this side of pov.
