[Spoiled heiress x gentle, devoted husband]
In Year 482 of the Ji star calendar, the insectoid war on the front lines is intensifying. The Imperial Military Academy's graduation exam is abruptly changed to a live battlefield exercise. But a breach opens in the border defenses, and the bloodthirsty insectoids launch a massive invasion.
With the commanding officer missing and the front lines in retreat, Zhou Zhiyi, top graduate of her class, is entrusted with command in their hour of need. She leads a group of cadets with no combat experience in defending the final line of defense.
As everyone knows, Zhou Zhiyi may usually be lazy, spoiled, and obnoxious, but as a top-tier Alpha and the strongest fighter at the Imperial Military Academy, she has earned everyone's wholehearted respect as their "top student."
On the battlefield, she is their rock.
No one knows that Zhou Zhiyi hates the troublesome gland in her body more than anything. She suffers from a severe pheromone deficiency, and every heat brings her to the brink of death.
With the fortress about to fall and the tide of battle turning against them, the pheromones of a top-tier Alpha, redolent of strong baijiu, grow increasingly concentrated inside the cramped mech. Zhou Zhiyi's head pounds, but she forces herself not to retreat a single step.
Then, out of nowhere, the scent of jasmine tea erupts throughout the mech.
A massive pheromone explosion sends the aroma of strong liquor spreading across the battlefield. The insectoids present lose their ability to fight, allowing the human forces to counterattack.
But Zhou Zhiyi vanishes along with the explosion.

Wen Huan is a military medic stationed on a remote border planet. Everyone shuns him because his jasmine-tea-scented Alpha pheromones are considered inferior.
After a fierce battle with the insectoids, his superior sends him to the most remote area to tally the casualties.
Among the corpses in the desolate wilderness, Wen Huan finds an unconscious, wounded soldier and carries her back to base.
He assumes she is a Beta soldier, but the first thing the wounded woman does when she wakes is pin him beneath her. Her canine teeth cruelly pierce his gland, which cannot receive a mark, as she injects him with a flood of potent pheromones.
A tendril of mental energy invades his mindscape, and the woman's hoarse voice echoes in his head.
"It's you. I've finally found you..."
