Yu Yi's world changed completely after her husband, Li Yao, died.
At Li Yao's funeral, his former military academy classmates, business partners, and old comrades all came to pay their respects. Perhaps they all wanted to see the civilian beta he had been willing to leave his family to marry.
And what these Alphas left behind was more than flowers and condolences. They left private addresses, money, and the warmth of their bodies when they touched her shoulder.
On one side were their relentless declarations of love. On the other was the hollow, despairing life Li Yao had left her with.
One rainy night, Yu Yi opened the door and smiled at the Alpha standing outside.
It didn't matter anymore. As long as someone could tire her out enough tonight that she wouldn't have nightmares again.
Anyone could get into her bed, but no one could make her want to go on living.
Only after the battle ended did Li Ye learn that his elder brother had died several months earlier. He rushed back, but got stranded at a transfer spaceport for some reason, where he ran into several old friends and acquaintances.
He heard that a mysterious, wanton beta had appeared in their social circle and recently become close to those old friends.
Li Ye couldn't understand what was so captivating about a beta, until he encountered a drunk female beta at the spaceport: beautiful and exhausted, listless yet unabashed. Her heavily made-up face changed the instant she saw him.
Faced with the woman's sudden, enthusiastic advances, Li Ye showed his disgust and rejected her cruelly. She seemed to sober up quickly, too, and hurried away.
It wasn't until Li Ye returned to the family home that he learned this beta was the wife his brother had entrusted to him on his deathbed, and the childhood friend he had secretly loved before he presented as an Alpha.
