At 18, he takes the entrance test for a prestigious sect, believing he is destined for greatness—only to be brutally rejected due to his mediocre spiritual roots. With his dreams of ascension crushed, he faces an uncertain future. However, fate offers him an unexpected path. The Bai Clan, a renowned family of cultivators, recruits men as in-laws to produce offspring with powerful bloodlines. Seeing this as his only option, Lu Chen accepts their offer, taking a concubine without cultivation talent and fathering a child. The moment his child is born, his cheat ability activates—granting him the talents, physique, and cultivation arts of any gifted offspring he sires. Realizing the potential of his newfound power, Lu Chen expands his harem, selecting women from various prestigious bloodlines to bear children who will elevate him to unimaginable heights. However, he knows that he is merely a tool to the Bai Clan, and once he builds his cultivation foundation, he will break free from their grasp to form his own family and sect. With his growing power, ambition, and the knowledge that his strength is tied to his descendants, Lu Chen embarks on a path to overturn fate, defy heaven, and carve his name into history—one child at a time.

Erika Belion never expected her life to suddenly take such a dangerous turn. She used to be just a low-income omega who worked several part-time jobs just to make ends meet with food and a roof over her head due to a difficult family situation. The wolf never expected that in the middle of a presentation by her musical group in a small speakeasy, her heat would be unleashed, and since she did not have a partner, she ended up emitting irresistible pheromones that, added to her lack of control, turned her act into a spectacle of mockery. That night she felt so humiliated that she had to leave without pay because, in addition to her zeal, she did not have the courage to look her boss in the eyes. But while Erika ran as fast as she could to her car to go straight to her apartment, feeling so embarrassed that she did not realize that from one moment to the next the laughter along with the degrading mockery towards her could be heard in the background. They stopped dead in dead silence. If only he had been in better condition or taken a moment to compose himself, perhaps he would have learned sooner that his heat would have drawn the attention of someone extremely dangerous. Among all the alphas who might have been interested in her for some reason or another... the one who was most interested was the boss of one of the most dangerous mafias on the continent. William Aballay. ----- William Aballay is the leader of one of the oldest and most powerful organized crime families. An alpha who had everything at his fingertips, he thought that in the next few years, he would be busy with the daily grind of managing his, in the process, inherited empire. Unfortunately, this is not his biggest problem at the moment. He is used to commanding and maintaining order for both his followers and his supposed competitors. He can take care of that with his eyes closed and both hands tied behind his back. What he was not mentally or physically prepared for was finding a beautiful woman who caught his attention more than any other woman he had ever met. ----- "William, our relationship is not good..." -Erika whispered, with a trembling voice, turning her back on the alpha, not being able to see him in the eyes- "I bring out the worst in you" -When she was about to run towards the door, he suddenly felt as if one hand was placed on his waist while the other snaked towards his neck, squeezing it a Little- "Ho, my dear Erika" -the black-haired man would tighten his grip a little, bringing his mouth close to the omega's ear, touching it lightly- "you couldn't be more wrong" -the shiver that this action caused only made him smile- "what you saw a few moments ago was simply the real me... the William that everyone fears and respects because he knows what will happen to them if they don't" "W-Wil..." "I would kill everyone I consider allies with my bare hands before I lost you" -he murmured, a dark smile now curving his lips- "I would kill the world itself if it dares to make the slightest scratch on you. You belong to omega... and nothing and no one will change that"

Once the brightest star, Yun Chen lost everything after an accident.
