Qi Shaoyou is an alpha and a renowned artist in the illustration world. The women she draws look like celestial beauties, each one dazzling everyone who sees her.
Everyone thinks she has an omega girlfriend or wife whom she loves dearly.
Only Qi Shaoyou knows that since she presented at eighteen, she has never been in a relationship, let alone marked an omega.
Because the person she loves could never be with her.
Liang Man is an internationally acclaimed actress, her mother's close friend, and the only reason seventeen-year-old Qi Shaoyou had to keep living...
She could never be Qi Shaoyou's girlfriend, wife, or lover...
It wasn't until Liang Man's agent came begging her for help that Qi Shaoyou learned Liang Man had a serious glandular disorder.
If she wasn't marked within three months, Liang Man would surely die.
There was only one underhanded plan that might save Liang Man.
Enter Liang Man's dreams and seduce her into falling for Qi Shaoyou, then mark her.
Qi Shaoyou had no choice if she wanted Liang Man to live.
She entered the dream and became Liang Man's apprentice.
In the dream, Qi Shaoyou no longer repressed her love. Under the guise of being her apprentice, she defied her teacher and behaved without restraint, every word and action drawing Liang Man deeper into love.
Liang Man was a legendary omega actress in the eyes of the public. Only she knew she didn't have long to live because of all the suppressants she'd taken.
At the end of her life, she sponsored the daughter of an old friend. She helped the girl take up arms and fight back against every kind of malice.
She thought she was saving her former self.
Until those absurd dreams began, night after night...
In the dreams, they were teacher and apprentice, yet they did all sorts of outrageous things...
Her heart raced with fear that she might truly fall in love with Qi Shaoyou.
When she learned Qi Shaoyou had been keeping her alive all along, Liang Man immediately chose to go abroad to film, putting physical distance between them.
Time could always wash everything away...
But those outrageous dreams kept haunting her. In them, Qi Shaoyou was always there, lips pursed as she softly called her "Master."
Her voice was unbearably tender and intimate...
She must be going crazy.
Bonus scene:
Qi Shaoyou first saw Liang Man at her mother's funeral when she was fifteen. Her father had shoved her elderly grandmother to the ground.
The guests had all left. Qi Shaoyou protected her grandmother, overcome by despair. Even though she was an alpha, there was nothing she could do...
As she tightened her grip on the dagger, a voice rang out.
"Get out!" A cool voice came from the doorway, and someone appeared as if from nowhere.
Then Qi Shaoyou heard the name she would remember for the rest of her life: Liang Man.
