[Bai Zhi]
“Sir Bai Zhi, do you plan to get married this year?”
Bai Zhi, who had just finished a wonderful speech, had a dry throat. He was sitting on a chair backstage and opened his thermos to drink water. Hearing the question raised by the reporter, Bai Zhi smiled and asked, “Why do you think a person should get married?”
The reporter replied, “To have a family. Tang Bai, who is younger than you, has already started a family. Don’t you feel a sense of urgency?”
“Of course not. I will only be happy for him, happy that he has a happy marriage. There are many beautiful loves in the world, but this has nothing to do with my choice to be single. It is wonderful to have a happy family, but marriage is not the only way to achieve happiness. Marriage has never been a necessity in life.”
Fine wrinkles appeared at the corners of Bai Zhi’s eyes as he smiled, and the green eyes behind the lenses were as tranquil as a clear spring in the forest.
“Omegas have independent thinking abilities, talents, dreams and souls. Our values are not limited to being good wives and mothers. We can also work. Our bodies and souls belong to ourselves. Only when we really want to get married, will this marriage be meaningful.”
“And I want to marry my career.”
….
In July of the 233rd year of the Star Calendar, Tang Bai investigated the working conditions of omegas and raised issues such as unequal employment opportunities for omegas and unequal pay for equal work among ABOs, which promoted the development of omegas’ labor and social security rights.

[Li Songyun]
“Hello, Teacher Li!”
“Good morning, Teacher Li.”
“Good morning, Teacher Li.”
“Where are you going, Teacher Li?”
Li Songyun smiled at his colleagues and students who greeted him, “I’m going to visit students’ homes.”
“Although there are patrol teams on patrol, this is a slum after all. It’s not safe for you to walk around alone, Teacher Li.” Someone kindly advised, “If it’s not a big deal, Teacher Li should not go.”
“It’s a very important matter.” Li Songyun said in a gentle tone but could not be denied, “A child has dropped out of school, and I want to bring her back.”
Li Songyun worked as an etiquette teacher and a Chinese teacher in this school. He taught Chinese to the lower grades and etiquette to the entire grade. Today, when he went to a class in the upper grades to teach, he found that an omega student in the class had disappeared.
The omega child was tall, always keeping her head down and her back hunched, as if she wanted to curl herself up into a ball to reduce her presence.
Li Songyun asked the students to hold their heads and chests high in class. Even though the child tried hard to straighten her back, she could only do so for a while. When the etiquette class was over, she became listless again.
The child’s timid eyes would only light up with new spirit when Li Songyun talked about the future and the outside world in class. Li Songyun was very happy that the new world he described could give the child some aspirations.
He hoped that these children could step out of this small world and have their own future.
The future of those children did not necessarily have to be successful. The ordinary life of an ordinary person was also something that people in these slums envied.
Li Songyun came to the front of the newly built residential building and knocked on the door according to the address given by the student, who opened the door to him was a rickety old woman with cloudy eyes staring at him warily, “Who are you looking for?”
“Hello, my name is Li Songyun and I’m from ……”
“Mr. Li!” His student exclaimed, rushing up, “What brings you here?”
“Grandma, this is our school teacher ……” Grandma hurriedly went to close the door before the student could finish her introduction, and while doing so, she said angrily, “What’s the teacher doing here? Our family Ning Ning won’t go to school! There’s no money!”
Li Songyun stopped the door as quickly as he could and softly said, “Mam, don’t close the door yet, I want to ask Fu Ning why she didn’t come to school.”
“She’s going to marry! Marrying someone! Do you understand?!” Grandma pulled hard on the door, but the soft-looking teacher, Ms. Li, got stubborn with her and said seriously with his body against the door, “Why would Ning Ning want to get married at her age if she doesn’t study?”
“Aiya why are you so annoying as a teacher, at her age she should be married off what to read! Reading is also a waste of money, what is the use of an omega reading ……” Fu Ning stood in the door against her will, listening with lowered eyebrows to her elders’ complaints about her money loss.
She was obviously very tall, but her head seemed to be hanging down into her chest.
“Fu Ning, do you want to study?” Li Songyun asked.
Fu Ning was stunned for a moment and subconsciously looked at her grandmother. She didn’t dare to answer, but Li Songyun didn’t care what Fu Ning’s answer was. Even if Fu Ning didn’t want to study today, he would take the child back to school.
Li Songyun grabbed Fu Ning’s wrist and forcefully pulled her out of the door. He then said coldly, “Old woman, I will pay for Fu Ning’s tuition.”
The indescribable cold temperament in his body frightened the cursing grandmother so much that she was speechless for a moment. She then forgot to stop him and just watched Li Songyun lead Fu Ning out. “Fu Ning, raise your head and chest out.” Li Songyun said to the omega beside him.
The child once secretly asked him for help, saying that she didn’t know how to walk alone through the long corridor after class.
“Remember what I told you? Don’t care about other people’s eyes, just look straight ahead.”
“If we keep moving forward, the day will always dawn.”
….
In August of the 233rd year of the Star Calendar, Tang Bai joined the Omega Protection Association and established the Omega Youth Education Program: Fire of the Stars.

[Gu Tunan]
The spaceship was vibrating, and dense holes appeared on the shell made of military metal. On the tattered spaceship, there appeared terrible and greedy Zergs. They were shaped like cockroaches, with their bodies shining with metallic luster, and their red eyes which made people feel physically uncomfortable.
“They really appeared.” Gu Tunan clearly saw the hideous appearance of the new Zerg through the detector. His gray-blue eyes showed no fear. He took a deep breath and gave the order for the space combat forces to attack. The moment Gu Tunan gave the order, Xie Ruheng checked his equipment, and then he jumped out of the hatch without hesitation!
In the vast space, the space combat mecha he controlled spread out a pair of sharp mechanical wings, and two lightsabers extended in the void. Perhaps the dangerous factors could be sensed in advance. So, the Zerg that were madly gnawing at the mecha’s defenses stopped, and countless pairs of red eyes stared at this mecha commander who looked small and harmless compared to the huge spaceship. The next moment, the lightsaber was swung out and landed precisely on a certain point on the Zerg’s abdomen, which was the only fatal point on the Zerg. The Zerg’s body twisted instantly, and it swung its body wildly to escape, but the scales all over its body quickly cracked, blood splattered, and it was killed in one blow. Everyone in the monitoring room burst into cheers. They finally found a way to defeat the damn Zerg!
These Zergs lay on the spaceship and refused to leave. They could not aim their ultimate weapons at the spaceship itself. In this case, the best solution was for the mecha pilot to take action.
The well-trained space combat teams rushed towards the Zerg on the spacecraft. The sophisticated space combat mechas allowed them to accurately control their bodies in space. The mecha combatants hovered in front of the Zerg and then waved their lightsabers. The sword light extended and stabbed towards the only weak point on the Zerg, piercing the Zerg directly.
If the Zerg’s weak spot was hit, no matter how it struggled, the final outcome would be death.
“It’s all thanks to Mr. Tang Bai for developing this batch of space combat mechas! They really solved our urgent needs!”
“Who said before that space combat mechas are useless except for wasting resources?”
“Fortunately, the spacecraft’s defense system was not broken.”
“Xie Ruheng is so awesome! He alone is worth an army!”
“After this battle, Xie Ruheng will become an admiral.”
“Xie Ruheng and Tang Bai are really a match made in heaven. Oh, I’m so envious…”
….
The whispering did not change Gu Tunan’s expression at all. His expression was calm, and the light stubble that he forgot to shave due to busy affairs made him look a lot more mature. His gray-blue eyes contained an aura of majesty without anger, which was also a bit intimidating.
No one knew what he was thinking, and no one knew that the always rational and calm Gu Tunan was distracted for a rare moment when he looked at the one-sided battle situation in front of him.
——”Gu Tunan, you shouldn’t be such a person.”
The 31-year-old Gu Tunan had made many military achievements and had become a three-star lieutenant general at a young age. He was excellent, self-disciplined, and single. He was the dream lover of countless omegas and betas.
——”You may not like spoiled omegas and think they are useless vases, but you should not discriminate against the entire omega group without reason. When an omega is insulted, even if you cannot empathize with them, you should still feel a little angry.”
He had devoted himself to charity like his little father Li Songyun. The star group he led did not ask about the background of the recruits. He was fair, compassionate and cruel.
——”You may not like the lazy, arsonist, murderous and looter people in the slums, but you should not be like those nobles such as Qin Jun. You know that the cruel environment of the slums will infinitely magnify the evil of human nature. At the same time, you also know that in such an environment, the goodness of human nature is also extremely precious.”
These words would occasionally appear in Gu Tunan’s mind. These were the words that had the greatest impact on him, or rather, the person who said these words had the greatest impact on him.
That person made him realize that an omega’s true independence and self-reliance came from his thoughts.
He once had many prejudices against that person, but facts proved that he was blinded by his own arrogance.
Maybe you really shouldn’t meet someone too amazing when you are young…
But even though there was no ending between them, the meeting also had its meaning. This relationship that ended in vain made him a better person.
….
In March of the 242nd year of the Star Calendar, the Federation and the Empire were at war with the Zerg, which fed on metals and energy crystals and were the nemesis of giant starships. When the Federation army was helpless, the space combat mecha developed by Tang Bai was put into the battle, reversing the situation and making great contributions to the victory of the Battle of Kormons.

[Director Huang]
He stood in front of the three-foot-high podium and said to the young omegas in the audience, “Now I don’t ask you to be virtuous, abide by the rules, and have marrying into a good family as your ideal.”
A little omega asked, “Then what are we going to do in school?”
He smiled and said, “Learn to be yourselves.”
….
In May of the 242nd year of the Star Calendar, Tang Bai wrote an inscription for the Federal Etiquette Academy: “I wish the omegas of the Etiquette Academy will not be limited by the secular standards of realizing self-worth. If the world is a barrier, then stab it with a sword. Serve the motherland, pursue your dreams, don’t fear wind and rain, there is a long way to go.”

[Andre]
The first thing Andre did when he ascended the throne as king was to order a thorough investigation of the people who attacked Tang Bai at the multinational academic exchange conference that year.
He could never forget the fear he felt when the explosion occurred at that meeting. Tang Bai was a different existence to him. He was an omega who was neither humble nor arrogant, had self-respect and self-love, and had a strong spirit of resistance. He was a soulmate he fell in love with before they even met, a genius mecha maker from the enemy country, and also a savior who could complete his unfinished business.
So he just wanted him to continue to shine, enjoy the joys and sorrows of this great era, continue to be dazzling and charming, and be himself to the fullest.
