Lin Wei opened her eyes in excruciating pain. A cold, metallic ceiling came into view, while the scent of disinfectant mingled with a faint animal smell around her. She struggled to sit up as unfamiliar memories flooded her mind. This was the Beastfolk Alliance in the year 3023, and she had become the alliance’s universally acknowledged “good-for-nothing female beastfolk,” Lin Wei.
The original host was the daughter of an alliance noble family, but she had been born unable to awaken her beast form, and her mental strength was so low it couldn’t even be detected. She was the laughingstock of the entire alliance. More outrageous still, according to a betrothal arranged by her family years ago, she had four fiancés, each a prominent figure in the alliance.
“You’re awake?” A cold mechanical voice sounded as a silver-haired man walked in. His icy blue eyes were full of impatience. “Lin Wei, stop pretending to be sick for sympathy. I’ll end our engagement in front of everyone at tomorrow’s coming-of-age ceremony.”
He was Gu Yan, the Empire’s marshal and a member of the War Wolf clan. In her memories, this fiancé had despised the original host and treated her with icy indifference every time they met.
Before Lin Wei could process everything, another figure barged in. Ye Jin, the handsome and wicked young heir of the Black Panther clan, leaned against the doorframe, his scarlet eyes full of mockery. “Little good-for-nothing, I hear you got yourself admitted to the medical pod again? You’re so fragile it’s disgusting.”
Next, the gentle and refined white fox priest Su Mu and the taciturn giant bear general Lu Zhan appeared in the doorway as well, their eyes equally distant and impatient.
Four fiancés, four different kinds of disdain.
