   ✨A story of redemption for two souls. The protagonist (O) harbors extreme self-loathing due to her parents' actions and constantly tries to change her gender or commit suicide, a situation linked to banned drugs. The other protagonist (A) is fiercely protective of her, initially unaware of O's family history and believing O doesn't reciprocate his feelings. The story includes scenes of O's true nature being revealed during her heat cycles, leading to possessive behavior towards A. The later episodes, after resolving various issues, are very sweet, though still ongoing.

    Reader note

    In the orphanage where Shen Qing grew up, every child had an S, A, or B tattoo on their back. Children with an S tattoo were all very beautiful, while none of the children with a B tattoo survived to adulthood. This is a transmigration novel featuring the beautiful, strong, and tragic Shen Qing versus the brave, resourceful, and powerful Lin Zhi. The Jiangcheng City orphanage divided the children into three categories—S, A, and B—for trafficking and profit. Shen Qing arrived at the orphanage at the age of eight and suffered immense torment. To avenge his family and prevent anyone from becoming like him, Shen Qing infiltrated his enemy's inner circle for years, secretly handing over evidence to the police to bring the criminals to justice. However, an unexpected incident forced him into a corner, and Shen Qing killed his enemy. From then on, he gradually strayed from his original intentions, weaving a vast net to kill everyone involved in human trafficking, becoming the biggest villain in the original story. Finally, his schemes were exposed, and he committed suicide. Lin Zhi, a Peking Opera martial arts actor and a million-follower food blogger, unexpectedly transmigrates into a melodramatic novel filled with tragic twists and turns. To make matters worse, he becomes the submissive male lead, Lin Zhiyuan. Looking at the arrogant and domineering scumbag before him, he thinks, "With this weak constitution, he still wants to be my scumbag?" Then he glances at the villain Shen Qing beside him—so handsome, with almond-shaped eyes that seem to evoke pity. Lin Zhi can't help but swallow hard. "Luckily, at this stage of my transmigration, he hasn't broken the law or turned evil." "Honey, listen to your brother, you can't sacrifice yourself for revenge." "I'll help you get revenge, but you can't break the law or do anything to hurt yourself." "I'll help you get revenge, will you be my wife?" The protagonist suffers immensely in the early stages, experiencing intense self-loathing and self-harm, even contemplating suicide with his enemies. Later, he becomes incredibly sweet and cuddly, pampered by the scumbag. The scumbag is brave, resourceful, deeply devoted, and extremely doting on the sadist. The romance is incredibly sweet.
