On the first day of the school year at Huajing University, the testing device at the campus clinic exploded in front of Hua Sheng.

No one knew that this soft-spoken freshman in the finance department, whose pheromones were so faint they might as well not exist, was a top-tier Enigma, the kind who appeared only once in twenty years.
Even fewer knew that someone had looked through his gender registration receipt, and that it had already been sent over an encrypted line to a place thousands of kilometers away.
Shen Yu'an, the law school's only S-class Alpha, had been inseparable from Hua Sheng since kindergarten. He was quiet and cold-faced, and everyone in Huajing said he was unfeeling. Only Hua Sheng knew that Shen Yu'an would pick every last piece of green pepper out of his plate, and that whenever someone dared to use their pheromones to pressure him, Shen Yu'an would stand half a step behind him and say, coolly, "Take it back."

They had meant to get through college in peace, but a pair of unseen hands had already reached for Hua Sheng's file, his secondary gender, and his father's cross-border acquisition.
Hua Sheng folded the receipt and smiled. "Let him investigate. The deeper he digs, the more he'll expose."
