On the day Su Zhi discovered that his partner—whom he had just made things official with—was actually an Enigma, he failed to realize the danger lurking behind that title in time.
Due to a sudden research institute break, Su Zhi brought his experimental samples to the remote City Z to relax. There, he encountered a mysterious Alpha and unexpectedly fell in love.
His Alpha boyfriend was handsome and tall, with an imposing and cold appearance. At first glance, he seemed difficult to get along with, but in reality, he was an introverted gentleman—steady and reliable. Even during intimate moments, he only offered restrained kisses on Su Zhi’s fingertips, never overstepping.
His emotional stability was nothing like a typical Alpha.
After two months of dating, Su Zhi’s stereotypes about Alphas changed. Su Zhi: “I don’t think Alphas are that irrational after all.”
That was until Su Zhi accidentally discovered the truth: the other man wasn’t an Alpha at all. He was an Enigma—a rank with pheromones far more dominant and violent than any Alpha.
Enigmas are a secondary differentiation of Alphas, standing at the very top of the gender hierarchy. However, they suffer from pheromone disorders far more extreme and uncontrollable than Alphas. According to secret official statistics, 90% of Enigmas have committed malicious acts against their partners due to pheromone riots—including coercion, imprisonment, and abuse.
Su Zhi closed the file, hesitantly trying to withdraw his hand from the other’s grasp. “If you can’t mark me [as a Beta], it will easily trigger a pheromone imbalance.”
The tall Enigma tightened his grip on Su Zhi’s fair wrist and pressed a cool kiss against it. He lowered his eyes to hide the thick darkness within them, his voice rasping: “…It won’t.”
Su Zhi couldn’t smell it, but the room was already filled with uncontrollable pheromones, so dense and distorted they were more terrifying than a pheromone storm. Like an insatiable beast, they greedily infected every inch of his skin.
He wanted to lock Su Zhi in a cage.
