Su Yu is a useless alpha.
She's pretended to be a beta for eight years, almost convincing even herself.
Until she meets Xie Zhixu, a top-tier omega and the Federation's youngest chief meteorological analyst.
Brilliant, exceptionally capable, cool and proud, Xie Zhixu looks at Su Yu as if she's a string of garbled code interfering with her calculations: utterly insignificant.
Maintaining absolute rationality and making precise assessments are not only Xie Zhixu's work principles, but her creed in life.
When her childhood sweetheart and fiancee of ten years cheats on her, Su Yu thinks she'll be heartbroken. Instead, Xie Zhixu calmly says, “It's a data error. Correct it in time, and you can avoid a bigger mistake.”
Other people see her as cold and heartless. Only Su Yu understands that beneath her shell of absolute rationality lies a wall she's built layer by layer around herself, hiding a softness she never shows anyone.
Su Yu isn't discouraged by her coldness. She edges closer, step by step, until she finally breaks through Xie Zhixu's defenses and reaches the softest part of her heart.
They begin to embrace and kiss.
But everything falls apart after that night.
Su Yu suddenly undergoes a second differentiation, becoming a top-tier alpha. She pins Xie Zhixu beneath her and sees shock and anguish in her eyes!
Xie Zhixu becomes cold and distant toward her again.
Su Yu is treated as another error to be corrected.
Later, during a meteorological survey, Su Yu, whose pheromones are still unstable after her second differentiation, loses her footing because of a pheromone imbalance and falls to the bottom of a cliff.
Xie Zhixu, who has always been composed and level-headed, panics. Ignoring everyone's attempts to stop her, she leads a search for Su Yu for three days and three nights.
At last, Xie Zhixu finds Su Yu in a cave, and finally understands that Su Yu is a variable in her life that she cannot ignore or correct.
*Both leads are sexually inexperienced. Xie Zhixu has had no intimate relationship with her former fiancee.
