Ying Shi is a double-award-winning Best Actress who rose from humble beginnings. Beloved by the public and recognized throughout the entertainment industry as an acting prodigy, she is an Alpha.
The person she hates most in this life is Lin Yanqing, another double-award-winning Best Actress.
Classically trained and top of her class, Lin Yanqing looks down on an unorthodox actress like Ying Shi.
But everyone in the industry knows Lin Yanqing rose to fame through backstage deals and has a powerful sponsor. She's no good person.
Lin Yanqing steals Ying Shi's endorsement deals and competes with her for top billing. Even when Ying Shi has to miss an event because of a severe skin allergy, Lin Yanqing makes a snide post on Weibo: "I'm in a great mood today. Made soup myself."
Even worse, she's an S+ Alpha too.
Like repels like.
Yet directors and producers everywhere see the hit-making potential in the two Best Actresses and keep casting them together: as co-leads in movies, co-leads in TV dramas, and even in a shared bed on a variety show.
Wait, what?
"It's fine, it's fine! The two of you are both Alphas, that's totally fine!"
Not long after they join the variety show, news breaks in the music world that one of Lin Yanqing's closest friends is an AA homosexual.
Ying Shi takes gleeful pleasure in it. Given how much Lin Yanqing dislikes same-sex relationships, her face must be priceless when she sees the news, right?
[Why can't her scent patch cover up that cherry-fruit fragrance today?]
[I want to hug her.]
[She hates me. I have to hold back. Yeah.]
Ying Shi: Huh???
It seems Ying Shi has gained the ability to hear her nemesis's thoughts.

Later, Ying Shi discovers that the endorsement deals Lin Yanqing stole from her have turned into disasters; the movies they compete for top billing in become massively popular and break viewership records; and Lin Yanqing's soup helps ease her skin allergies...
It seems Lin Yanqing likes her.
"Sorry, Lin Yanqing. I'm a normal Alpha. I only like delicate, frail Omegas. You wouldn't want me to bite you, either, would you?"
[Her cherry scent is even sweeter today.]
[Where should I start biting her later?]
Ying Shi: Bite me???

[It's true I'm no good person. I've wanted to mark you ever since the first time I saw you.]
[Ying Shi, if it's you, your gender doesn't matter.]
