After waking up in a hospital bed with seven years of memories missing, unemployed drifter Wu Qingzhu finds her life turned upside down.
First, she has differentiated from an ordinary BETA into a low-grade Alpha with a very faint pheromone scent.
Second, she has gained a wonderful wife who accepts her inferior genes: Lin Yujing.
Her wife is beautiful, with a graceful figure and irresistible charm. Whenever she sees Wu Qingzhu, her affectionate gaze clings to her. Aside from not being very keen on letting her go out, she's perfect in every way.
Just like that, Wu Qingzhu somehow settles into a "wonderful life" with Lin Yujing: waking up to spend time with her wife, then falling asleep in her arms.
When they're alone, Lin Yujing will lie in Wu Qingzhu's arms, seemingly boneless, playing with Wu Qingzhu's long, elegant fingers as she softly recounts their past: how they came to know and love each other, and how they decided to start a family together.
Every night, Wu Qingzhu also serves Lin Yujing clumsily, guided by the instincts stored in her muscle memory. The cool, bamboo-like scent of Lin Yujing's body makes her lose control.
But the longer they spend together, the more Wu Qingzhu feels that something is off about her lover. First, she notices that her lover's body temperature is abnormally low. Sometimes, when Wu Qingzhu is too hot, Lin Yujing trembles and tries to get away.
And at night, it seems like something is tugging at her ankle. It's long and fleshy. Sometimes, when she tries to roll over, the thing brushes against her ankle, then hooks around her waist as if to restrain her.
After one of their intimate encounters, Wu Qingzhu straightens her robe to hide the marks her lover left on her, then stares at a newly recommended post on her phone.
A user is asking why their snake always likes to lie rigidly beside them, and why its body is so cold.
A fragment of memory immediately flashes through her mind: she's lying in a pool of blood, while Lin Yujing stands beside her and says regretfully, "What a shame. You're just a good-for-nothing."
That same day, she comes across her wife's memorial photo and a death certificate. Her own name is written on it in plain sight.
In the mirror behind her, a figure resembling her wife appears, holding up a sign with shaking hands: "Run!"
