Because of her extraordinarily beautiful face, Qiao Jiu has run into all kinds of trouble.
Timid and socially anxious, she is used to hiding away in a dark room.
After transmigrating into an ABO world, she has no glands or pheromones. She disguises herself as a beta in the lowest rungs of the Federation and scrapes by with odd jobs.
Then one day, one of the top Alphas from the news collapses at the corner on her way home. Strange tentacles sprout from her back, and her body burns with unbearable heat.
"Eat him."
"Take him. I want him."
The tentacles writhe toward the man and coil tightly around him.
Qiao Jiu: [Hamster screaming] She has absorbed a top Alpha.
This is terrifying!
But being wrapped around a man feels so good.
So when the man opens his eyes and asks where he is and who he is, Qiao Jiu timidly tells the biggest lie of her life.
"This is my home."
"I'm your girlfriend."
*
There is more than one amnesiac top Alpha.
Each Alpha tastes different when wrapped up in tentacles.
This one smells so good, and that one smells good too.
So Qiao Jiu empties her savings to buy several apartments, telling each one,
"I'm your girlfriend."
And even,
"I'm your wife."
*
The top Alphas look down on everyone. After recovering their memories, they find it unbelievable that they could fall for a lowly rat.
But they still love her.
When one of them is exposed, only his brothers support him. They all agree:
Alpha A: "They don't get it. Sure, she's a lowly beta, but hugging her is like absorbing incredible pheromones. My soul feels whole."
Brother B: "I get it. It's the same with my partner."
Brother C: "I get it too. Only my wife can suppress my rut."
Brother D: "Exactly. I feel the same way about my girlfriend."
Wait.
The same feeling?
Could they all have the same girlfriend?!
Wait, what?
Their girlfriend isn't a beta at all. She's the only perfect-genetics human being in existence?!
