Song Tinghan despises the inferior, despises worthless things, and despises betas who are good for nothing.
Born into a prestigious family, she is the high-and-mighty heiress of the Song family, the arrogant bully of Yuncheng, and a star adored by all. Her unforgettable beauty is a familiar sight in all kinds of glamorous venues, and the rich scent of violet perfume clings to her...
But no one would guess that a woman so alluring is an alpha.
An inferior alpha.

Pei Dong is exactly the kind of person Song Tinghan hates most: a beta who never fights for anything, takes life as it comes, and is forever mediocre and silent.
She's curious what the point of the little mute's life is. Why are there so many useless people in this world who can live without a care? "It's such a shame you aren't a star, with a face like that." She often taunts her, pinching her chin, only to get a calm, unruffled look in return.
A bland, boring beta, as insipid as plain water, never giving off so much as a hint of a strong scent.
Song Tinghan hates Pei Dong, but that doesn't stop her from using her freely during her heat. "Your face is the only thing you have going for you." This pretty plaything, there for her to use as she pleases, is even better than many unreasonable omegas.
Yes, a "plaything."
She has never taken her obedient-to-a-fault assistant seriously. Even when she can't control the way her pheromones spread over Pei Dong, even when she grows inexplicably anxious if she can't see her... She's only marking her territory.
Pei Dong belongs to her. What's wrong with that? She could never fall in love with a useless mute. She's destined to marry a high-quality omega...
So is there any way to mark a beta permanently?

Pei Dong is an excellent mission agent.
A mission agent needs to be patient with her target, so she tolerates the taunts and torment, the bad temper and the pranks. She even puts up with being abandoned on set for hours in the cold and hungry because the other woman forgot their plans.
She's a coolheaded agent, so calm she can face death without flinching to complete a mission. She never thought there was anything shocking about her actions, until the System panicked and told her Song Tinghan would completely fall apart if she left. For once, she felt a flicker of interest.
A dumb dog is a dumb dog, after all.

It's over.
Looking at that face that was always so calm, Song Tinghan thought,
I'm done for.
"Pei Dong..." She struggled to call the girl's name, the surging heat making even her heart boil. "Xiao Dong..."
But Pei Dong is a beta, impossible to mark, without pheromones to soothe anyone, and so boring that even her ways of flirting are annoyingly limited.
So when the girl saw Song Tinghan's eyes turning red, she merely smiled indifferently. "I can give you two options." She toyed with her chin, amused, then took a muzzle out of the cabinet as if granting her a favor. "Put it on..."
"Or get out."
The beta really is a beta. She won't undergo a second gender differentiation later.
The mute is pretending to be mute. She'll speak later.
Very, very romance-focused, with a massive groveling arc.
Literary style, female alpha with no cheat ability.
