Fang Bailang is a beta office worker, stuck working 996 every day, with faint dark circles and a slightly delicate stomach. He's an emotionally stable, low-key person who wouldn't care if the Earth exploded.
The only joy in his life is cuddling his cat after work.
He has an adorable little cat, the only comfort and emotional anchor in his exhausting life as a single person living alone. He kisses and cuddles her every day, spoiling her like a daughter.
One morning, he woke up to find the cat gone.
A pretty, adorable young woman was lying on his chest, wagging her big tail and calling him Daddy.
Fang Bailang: ...?
After spending all day coming to terms with it, Fang Bailang went home and laid down three rules for the cat, guided by stubborn habit and the moral principle of never abandoning a pet:
"Don't call me Daddy."
"Don't jump on me whenever you want."
"Don't follow me into the bathroom when I'm showering."
The little cat was disappointed, but changed her address: "Master."
Fang Bailang: "..."
Fang Bailang: "That's not allowed either."

Betas are naturally low-libido. Even with AO pheromones filling the room during a heat, Fang Bailang is completely unaffected, quietly holding his laptop and working overtime.
He thought he'd stay single until he died, until his cat's heat finally came around.
The eighteen-year-old Alpha had gone into her second gender late, and her pheromones were too volatile. The doctor recommended stopping suppressants for the time being and finding her a stable, healthy partner.
That night, Fang Bailang smoked two cigarettes on the balcony and let the smell disperse. Then he opened the bedroom door, picked up the young woman who'd buried herself in a pile of his clothes in the middle of the bed, and settled her on his lap. Holding her feverishly hot face in his hands, he said the most reckless words in a calm voice: "Want to try marking me, baby?"
"Big brother is a beta. He can't get pregnant."
