    Shen Nanzhi's fingers hooked around her car keys, her shoe tip crunching over a withered sycamore leaf. On the other end of the phone, her friend Jiang Wei's wailing seemed to pierce the receiver. "Zhizhi, my life depends on you! After the Mid-Autumn Festival, whether your best friend survives or not depends entirely on you!" Shen Nanzhi finally couldn't help but smile slightly, the night wind ruffling her hair. "Just a USB drive left behind at 'Sheng Ye'?" Her voice held a hint of mockery, as if it were as simple as dropping a lipstick. Jiang Wei's voice immediately rose, exaggerated with relief: "'Just'? Sister! That's the entire project plan I worked on for three sleepless nights! The client specifically requested it to be shown first after the holiday! If it's lost, our director will slice me up and eat me with sauce!" She paused, then softened her tone, adding pitifully, "And... 'Sheng Ye' is such a place, my legs go weak just going in alone... Zhizhi, you're the best! Help me out!" "Okay." Shen Nanzhi opened the car door and got in, the engine humming softly. "Which private room? Do you know the approximate location?" "V07! It should be near the sofa... Or... Uh, the sink? I don't quite remember, I was a little tipsy last night..." Jiang Wei's voice grew weaker. "V07..." Shen Nanzhi repeated, the navigation address already set. "Alright, I'll go look for it. I'll let you know when I find it." "Love you, Zhizhi! Mua! I'll treat you to a big meal later!" Hanging up the phone, Shen Nanzhi shook her head, drove off the tree-lined road, and merged into the night traffic. The city's neon lights flashed, outlining its bustling skyline. "Sheng Ye" was one of the city's top nightclubs, extremely private, which also meant strict security. She needed to figure out how to get in and find a pretext to rummage through her things. Half an hour later, Shen Nanzhi's car stopped in front of "Sheng Ye's" grand entrance. A waiter in a sharp uniform opened the car door for her. Today, she wore a simple black spaghetti strap dress with a silk shirt over it, looking relaxed and casual, but thanks to her cool and refined face and undeniable aura, she didn't seem out of place. Instead, she looked exactly like a wealthy young woman who frequented the place for pleasure. She didn't go to the front desk but walked straight in, her gaze subtly sweeping over the room numbers on both sides of the corridor. The rooms starting with "V" were in a deeper area, the environment becoming increasingly quiet. When she was almost at V07, she paused slightly. The room door opened from the inside, and a mixture of laughter and the strong smell of smoke and alcohol poured out. Several men stood at the door, seemingly about to leave. The one in the lead, wearing a flamboyant purplish-red velvet shirt, was embracing a hot girl, laughing and joking without a care in the world. Shen Nanzhi stepped aside to let them pass, her gaze quickly sweeping into the private room—the lighting was dim, several drunken people were slumped on the sofa, and the coffee table was littered with cups and plates. The USB drive was nowhere to be seen. "Hey, where did this little sister come from? Who are you looking for?" The man in the purplish-red shirt noticed her, his gaze lingering on her with a drunken, frivolous air. Shen Nanzhi didn't want to get involved, and said calmly, "Sorry, wrong place." She turned to leave. "Don't go," the man reached out and stopped her, grinning, "Looks unfamiliar, first time here? We brothers haven't finished our game yet, want to join in?" The men beside him also chuckled suggestively. Shen Nanzhi frowned slightly, a hint of annoyance flashing in her eyes. Just as she was about to refuse coldly, a slightly hurried voice came from behind her. "Nanzhi? What are you doing here?" Shen Nanzhi turned around and saw a man in a manager's uniform walking quickly towards her, his face showing just the right amount of surprise and familiarity. She paused for a moment, recognizing him as a junior from high school, two years her junior, whose surname seemed to be Chen. She hadn't expected him to work here. Manager Chen naturally stood next to Shen Nanzhi, separating her from the man in the purple-red shirt, and smiled as he smoothed things over: "Young Master Li, this is my friend, probably here to see someone. Sorry to interrupt your enjoyment." As he spoke, he subtly revealed his "Shengye" manager's identity. Young Master Li sized up Manager Chen, then glanced at the expressionless Shen Nanzhi, seemingly finding it uninteresting. He pursed his lips, put his arm around his female companion, and swayed away. "Manager Chen...?" Shen Nanzhi relaxed slightly. "Senior, just call me Chen Feng." Chen Feng breathed a sigh of relief and lowered his voice. "Why are you here alone? And you ran into Li Shao and his gang. They always cause trouble when they're drunk." "I'm here to help a friend find something. She left her USB drive here last night; it might be in V07." Shen Nanzhi explained her purpose concisely. Chen Feng understood: "V07 just ended; the cleaning staff hasn't gone in yet. I'll help you look." With his help, things went much more smoothly. Chen Feng told the waiter not to clean up yet and accompanied Shen Nanzhi into the messy private room. She groped around in the sofa cushions, checked the sink, and finally found the small silver USB drive next to the trash can in the corner (luckily, it only contained a clean ice bucket and fruit peels). "Found it." She picked it up and breathed a sigh of relief. "It's good that it's found." Chen Feng smiled. "Senior, don't come to places like this too often in the future. If you really have to come, bring your friends." "Thank you, I'm so grateful to you today." Shen Nanzhi thanked him sincerely, holding the USB drive in her hand. "I'll treat you to dinner another day." "You're too kind, Senior." Shen Nanzhi didn't want to stay any longer, so she thanked him again and turned to leave. Chen Feng watched her slender figure disappear around the corner of the corridor before turning his gaze away. The professional smile on his face faded, and he looked thoughtful. Stepping out of "Sheng Ye," the evening breeze made Shen Nanzhi feel that the smell of smoke and alcohol she had picked up had dissipated a bit. She got into her car, took out her phone, and texted Jiang Wei: "I've found my manhood." Almost instantly, she replied: "!!! Zhizhi, you're my god! I love you to death! How is it? Did you run into any trouble?" Shen Nanzhi looked at her phone screen, the image of that purple-red velvet shirt and Chen Feng's timely appearance flashing before her eyes. Her fingertips paused for a moment before she replied: "It's fine, everything went smoothly." She started the car and merged into the dazzling river of cars. The cold metal casing of the USB drive pressed against her palm, like a small, insignificant interlude tonight. Little did she know, from the half-open door of the booth diagonally opposite V07, a pair of calm eyes had been silently watching her every move through the crack. From her appearance in the corridor, to being harassed, to being rescued, and finally finding her belongings and leaving. The owner of those eyes held a nearly burnt-out cigarette between his fingers, the smoke blurring his deep gaze. Only when the black-clad figure completely disappeared did he slowly withdraw his gaze and stub out the cigarette. The ashtray was already overflowing with similar cigarette butts.

Quite a bit of secondary couple plot; this book is good, but I personally don't love it. 5 & 6 are simply heaven! Highly recommended!!!

    Reader note

    That delicate, slightly salty scent of sage, fragile yet persistent, intertwined fiercely with the powerful scent of iris, like a silent war, or the embers after a desperate, passionate entanglement. Fang Yun abruptly opened her eyes. A dull, hangover-like pain struck her temples; her body felt as if it had been disassembled and reassembled, every bone screaming with a strange soreness and… an indescribable, thoroughly invaded tingling numbness. What froze her blood instantly was the two distinct yet strangely intertwined pheromones in the air. The iris, belonging to a top-tier Alpha, carrying absolute control and a languid aggression born of passion. And… hers, the sage, which had been firmly sealed by a precise suppressant, and should never have leaked even a trace at this moment! Her heart stopped abruptly, then pounded wildly, almost shattering her chest. She stiffly, inch by inch, turned her head. Beside her, the soft down pillow sank deep. Zhao Tingwen's sleeping profile appeared softer than ever in the dappled light, all coldness and aloofness gone, even carrying a hint of satisfied weariness between his brows. His normally meticulously buttoned shirt was carelessly tossed on the carpet, the blanket slipped down to his waist, revealing his smooth shoulders and back, on which... Were several clear, ambiguous red marks. Those were... The marks left by her fingernails. Fragments of memory, like sharp glass, pierced her mind: the post-victory clamor, the burning sensation of alcohol on her throat… the glass of ice water he offered as a "hangover cure"… the inexplicable, irrational heat rising within her body… the cramped space of the elevator, the sudden, uncontrolled burst of iris pheromones as he approached, capturing her like a giant net… she helplessly clawed at his arm, the scent of sage collapsing and dissipating in despair… the cold door of the suite pressed against her burning back, his scalding breath searing her neck, his voice terrifyingly hoarse, repeating over and over, "Fang Yun… don't be afraid…"… then came broken breaths, tangled limbs, an overwhelming wave… It wasn't a dream. All the chaotic perceptions stirred up by drugs and pheromones converged into a clear and terrifying truth at this moment. She had differentiated. At the most improbable moment, in front of the most lethal person, induced and forced, she broke through all the inhibitor blockades, completing her secondary differentiation—from an ordinary Beta to an Omega. And the one who marked her was Zhao Tingwen. It was Zhao Tingwen, the teacher who was always calm, always followed the rules, who had single-handedly brought her into a top law firm, and who had taken all the blame for her when she was imprisoned. He built a wall for her outside the rules. That wall, now, collapsed in the most cruel and out-of-control way, completely imprisoning her. A wave of nausea and fear washed over her. She abruptly covered her mouth, practically tumbling off the bed, staggering into the bathroom, slamming the door shut, and sliding down the cold tiles. The cold touch brought her back to her senses. She trembled as she raised her hand to touch the back of her neck. Her fingertips touched a patch of hot, swollen skin, and… a clear, deep teeth mark. A permanent mark. Tears welled up unexpectedly, not from resentment, not from sadness, but from a utter sense of absurdity and despair, as if she were being manipulated by fate. She bit her wrist hard, trying to stop the sob that threatened to burst from her throat. Outside the door, a slight movement came from the bed, seemingly the sound of someone turning over. Then, the rich iris pheromones rippled, carrying a hint of searching after awakening, slowly and irresistibly spreading out, enveloping the tightly closed bathroom door, and also enveloping the freshly scented sage she had nowhere to escape. Fang Yun curled up, like a cub trapped in the eye of a storm, her body ice-cold. The world had turned upside down. Rules shattered, walls collapsed. And the one who built those walls was just outside the door. She didn't know what expression would appear in his usually calm and unwavering eyes when he was fully awake, facing this utterly out-of-control situation. Regret? Shock? Or… another kind of madness, one she couldn't bear? Sunlight streamed through the blinds, cutting sharp strips of light across the floor tiles, like a judgment.
