Ming Chen transmigrates into a novel as the daughter of the housekeeper.
The heroine, Ruan Shengwei, is a fake heiress who was switched at birth. Overnight, she falls from a life as heaven's favored child into the depths of society. Before, countless people had held back from taking her by force because of her status. After the Ruan family casts her aside, she is tossed from one hardship to another until she finally claws her way back to life.
Ming Chen is the first person to kick her while she's down.
She's vain and greedy. When she discovers that Ruan Shengwei is a fake heiress, she secretly informs the Ruan family. After Ruan Shengwei is thrown out, she secretly livestreams her life to others.
She pretends to be Ruan Shengwei's best friend while secretly laughing at her and landing her in trouble.
Once Ruan Shengwei fights her way back, Ming Chen is the first person she deals with.
In the end, Ruan Shengwei's admirers break both of Ming Chen's legs, and she has to fight dogs for scraps.
Ming Chen feels sorry for what Ruan Shengwei has been through.
After transmigrating, she follows the young lady's every order. If Ruan Shengwei says one, Ming Chen never says two. If Ruan Shengwei says the moon is round, Ming Chen will agree even when it's only a crescent.
Everyone says Ming Chen is Ruan Shengwei's lapdog. If the young lady tosses her a bone, she'll lick it a couple of times and bring it right back.
Then the real heiress is discovered, and Ruan Shengwei falls from the top to rock bottom overnight. Everyone around her disappears. Only Ming Chen remains.
Ming Chen leaves the Ruan family with the young lady.
To save money, they share a room.
Things get stranger and stranger.
Every morning, Ming Chen wakes up with several hickey-like marks on her neck.
The handkerchiefs she uses disappear.
The cups she drinks from somehow get broken.
Whenever she helps the young lady put on her shoes, the young lady gives her a sinister look.
Then one night, Ming Chen wakes up to find herself on top of the young lady, doing whatever she wants. The young lady's face is flushed, but she doesn't resist. She even pulls Ming Chen's head down to kiss her deeply.
Only then does Ming Chen realize that the shock has triggered a second differentiation, turning her from a beta into an alpha.
And the source of that shock is the young lady, who keeps releasing her pheromones around Ming Chen.

Ruan Shengwei knows she's a flower blooming in the mud.
She pretends to keep her tail hidden.
But when the Ruan family throws her out, she loses control.
She has the lowest-quality pheromones. Anyone who catches a whiff of them will vomit, except for her little beta.
Ruan Shengwei thinks that this time, she won't be let go.
Her low-quality pheromones are meant for her little beta alone.
Her little beta is the personal antidote she made just for herself.
