Shen Zhiwei is the youngest professor at a top university, and her Alpha pheromone level is the highest possible. Unfortunately, she's wooden and clueless about romance.
Even when someone with too much time on their hands shows her a photo of Zhong Luxi, the wealthy Omega actress who's all the rage right now, she only studies it carefully for a while, then shakes her head. "Sorry, I don't know her."
As if she were trying to identify someone from a missing-person poster.
The young professor doesn't watch dramas or follow celebrities. She has no interests outside of research. Even her students say Professor Shen is an iron tree that will never bloom.
But nobody knows that Shen Zhiwei has been secretly married to Zhong Luxi for five years. They have embraced and made love countless nights, and Shen has kissed Zhong Luxi's cool lips over and over.
It's just that, in their fifth year of marriage, she sees her Omega wife less and less. Most of the time, she can only see her on billboards at the mall, or rewatch her wife's movies late into the night.
Or she sees paparazzi photos on social media of her wife acting alongside some unknown young star, whispering and smiling intimately.
But Shen Zhiwei doesn't complain.
In the end, Zhong Luxi is the one who grows tired of her. After they meet again and make love, she lies languidly in bed and hands over the divorce agreement she's prepared, her voice light and airy. "Professor Shen, the truth is, I was only addicted to your pheromones."
"Now I'm over that addiction. Let's part on good terms. Don't worry, I'll compensate you generously."
Shen Zhiwei silently accepts the divorce agreement. The woman who has always been as bland as a glass of water has trembling hands as she signs, but in the end, she writes her name one stroke at a time.
After signing, she bolts out the door. Distracted and disoriented, she's struck and knocked to the ground by a car coming from the side. As her consciousness fades, the last thing she recalls is her wife walking toward her with a bouquet and a smile five years ago.

Fortunately, the accident didn't leave her seriously hurt, and Shen Zhiwei was discharged after a few days of recovery.
Her life was no different from before. After the accident, she continued to devote herself to academia as usual, and soon became the youngest academician in the empire.
The only difference was that, after she left the hospital, an unfamiliar Omega kept pestering her. She was dazzlingly beautiful, but her eyes were full of shattered sorrow. She stubbornly insisted that the two of them had been in love for five years.
After Shen Zhiwei was elected an academician, her students kept her celebrating all night. Exhausted, she returned home, only to see that Omega downstairs again. The Omega had stood all night in the falling snow. Her dim eyes suddenly lit up when she saw Shen Zhiwei.
The Alpha politely tilted her umbrella toward the other woman, but her gaze was clear and unfamiliar. "Sorry, but I really don't know you."

Zhong Luxi had thought Shen Zhiwei was just medicine for her addiction, just a pastime when she was bored.
Until Shen Zhiwei forgot her completely.
They had been secretly married for five years, and nobody knew they'd ever been together. She was the only one who remembered their past.
#Once, she lied when she said she didn't know her. Now, those words have become the truth.
[Bonus Scene]
After a long time apart, Shen Zhiwei was suddenly stopped by that unfamiliar Omega again.
The Omega's belly was just beginning to show, but her expression had grown more confident and almost possessive. "I've thought of an absolutely foolproof way to prove we're lovers."
Shen Zhiwei looked surprised, but the Omega shyly and coquettishly lowered her gaze to her belly.
"A baby."
Shen Zhiwei: ?
