Lu Ming, a recent college graduate and lowest-grade Omega, unexpectedly lands a job at the massive Hengyao Group. He is settling into an uneventful internship when a chance encounter brings him face to face with Gu Baiyu, the Alpha who rules Hengyao and stands at the very top of the corporate ladder.
Their first meeting happens because a clueless office newbie dumps trash all over him!
Gu, who had paid little attention to the intern, happens to run into him during a heat. Though he insists he's no "good guy," he seals off the news, uses his pheromones to soothe Lu Ming, and takes him to the hospital. Later, he transfers Lu Ming to his own department and helps him grow step by step. As they spend more time together, they fall in love.
Unfortunately, as the company's head, Gu doesn't treasure their relationship enough. After giving Lu Ming a permanent mark, he tells him, "Get the mark removed. And if there's a child, you can't keep it."
Heartbroken, Lu Ming does as he's told, only to learn that Gu is about to get married. In a fit of anger, he leaves the city…
Years later, Lu Ming returns home from work as usual. When he hears a knock at the door, he gets up to answer it and finds Gu standing there, a face he hasn't seen in years…
Though Lu Ming was once a lowest-grade Omega, he no longer has any pheromones in his body. Unable to hold back his curiosity, Gu Baiyu asks why. Lu Ming replies calmly, "I had my glands removed. It's more convenient to live as a Beta."
