- Chapter 1 - Are You... "Incapable"?
In the early light of dawn, the young girl on the bed fluttered her long eyelashes and opened her eyes. She looked around the unfamiliar room, her gaze hazy and confused.
“What happened to me?”
She knit her brows and looked down. Realizing there wasn’t a single thread of clothing beneath the quilt, she let out a piercing scream. “AH—!”
The shrill sound startled the person in the bathroom. Pei Suyu stepped out, casting a cool, indifferent glance at the bed. “Keep it down,” she said flatly. “It’s only five in the morning. You’re disturbing the neighbors.”
“You… who are you?!” The girl was pale with fright. Her fingers trembled as she frantically yanked the slipping quilt back up to her chin. “What did you do to me?”
Pei Suyu’s brow twitched almost imperceptibly. She picked up a towel and began drying her short, chestnut hair as she approached the bed. The girl retreated further into the covers, eyeing her like a cornered animal.
Stopping at the bedside, Pei Suyu spoke in a measured tone. “My name is Pei Suyu. Last night at the Nightfall Bar, I went to use the restroom and found you surrounded by several Alphas. You were in the middle of a heat flare and screaming for help, so I stepped in. You were too delirious to answer any questions, so I had no choice but to bring you back to my place.”
The girl froze, fragments of memory beginning to resurface. Her face flushed a deep crimson. “Then… what about my… my clothes?”
Pei Suyu understood the unspoken question immediately. She pointed toward the bathroom with a shrug. “I took them off. They’re in the trash.”
This was the breaking point. The girl’s eyes sparked with indignation, her previous timidness vanishing instantly. “Even if you saved me, what gives you the right to strip me and throw my clothes away? Where are your manners?!”
Pei Suyu arched an eyebrow. She leaned over the bed, looming over the girl with a sharp gaze, and slowly began to unbutton her own shirt.
The girl’s bravado crumpled. She stammered, shrinking back, “What… what are you doing?”
Pei Suyu pulled the collar aside, revealing a fresh set of teeth marks on her shoulder. “Are you part dog?” she asked dryly. “For a young lady, you sure were a wild one last night. It wasn’t enough that you tore your own clothes to shreds; you had to go and bite people, too.”
The girl’s face turned beet red, but she still muttered stubbornly under her breath, “You’re the dog. I was born in the year of the rabbit. Even rabbits bite when they’re cornered. If you hadn’t provoked me, I wouldn’t have bitten you.”
Pei Suyu only wanted to see this “great deity” out of her house as soon as possible. “Your name?” she asked, her patience wearing thin.
“Huh?” The girl blinked, taking a second to process the question. “I’m Gan Lu.”
Pei Suyu paused. The name sounded strangely familiar, but she quickly masked her reaction. “Do you remember what happened now? Do you want to call the police? I can still recall the faces of two of those men.”
Gan Lu’s almond-shaped eyes narrowed. A flash of ruthlessness crossed her delicate, fox-like face. “Of course. I’m going to ruin them. How dare they plot against me.”
Without a word, Pei Suyu walked over to the wardrobe to find a suitable change of clothes. When she turned back, she saw Gan Lu staring into space, lost in thought.
“Hurry up and get dressed. I’ll give you a lift.”
As soon as the words left her mouth, she noticed Gan Lu looking at her with an incredibly complex expression. Pei Suyu couldn’t quite read what the girl was thinking.
Gan Lu took the clothes, hesitating before she finally burst out, “I think… I remember something else from last night.”
Pei Suyu watched her, waiting.
With a pained expression, Gan Lu blurted out, “After you brought me back, my heat hit its peak. I was burning up, so I tore my clothes off and… and I grabbed onto you—”
The corner of Pei Suyu’s mouth quirked into a smirk.
Gan Lu looked miserable as she continued her fierce critique. “And then you threw me into the bathroom and blasted me with a cold shower! Every time I tried to get near you, you just sprayed me with freezing water!”
As if on cue, Gan Lu let out a loud sneeze.
Pei Suyu showed no sign of remorse. She turned around to give the girl privacy. “Stop dawdling. Put the clothes on.”
As she pulled on the borrowed outfit, Gan Lu couldn’t help but grit her teeth and grumble, “I’m seriously starting to doubt you’re an Alpha at all. Or maybe you’re just… ‘incapable’…”
She cut herself off the moment she felt a suffocating gaze from above. She fell silent instantly. For some reason, when Pei Suyu looked at her with that expressionless face, she felt a sudden, instinctive wave of guilt.
It was like being a student caught doing something wrong by a teacher; one look was enough to make her heart race with nerves.
Pei Suyu didn’t lower herself to argue. She glanced at the girl’s rumpled trousers. At 170cm, Pei’s clothes were clearly too long for the girl, so she knelt down to roll up the hems.
“Where to?” Pei Suyu asked once Gan Lu was ready.
Gan Lu hesitated. “Take me to the Great Deer Building. I need to find my mother and have her crush those bastards who set me up.”
The Great Deer Building?
Pei Suyu’s eyes sharpened. “Is your sister named Gan Hu?” she asked reflexively.
Gan Lu was stunned. “How did you know that?”
Pei Suyu felt her world start to tilt. She forced herself to stay calm and looked at the confused girl. Pressing a hand to her forehead, she said, “Wait here for a moment. I need to think.”
She hurried into her study and pulled a dusty book from the shelf. The title read: The Heiress’s Revenge.
It was a Yuri novel Pei Suyu had confiscated from a student during class. She vaguely remembered the students whispering: “Look, this bit-part Alpha has the same name as our homeroom teacher! Should we tell her so she can memorize the plot and stay safe? What if she transmigrates?”
It had been a self-fulfilling prophecy. She had confiscated the book, flipped through a few pages that night, and fallen asleep—only to wake up inside the story.
The strange thing was that since her arrival, she hadn’t been able to read the book at all. She only remembered the first chapter: Gan Hu, the “fake” heiress of the Great Deer Group, was jealous of her younger sister. On the sister’s birthday, Gan Hu had drugged her with a specialized heat-inducer to ruin her reputation.
The name “Gan Lu” had only appeared once back then, so Pei Suyu hadn’t made the connection. It wasn’t until she heard “Great Deer Group” that it finally clicked. She had transmigrated.
She tried opening the book again, and to her shock, she could read it now. The plot flooded her mind.
Gan Lu was supposed to be a pampered heiress. After being drugged by her sister, her pheromones would fall into a state of permanent “disorder,” releasing a scent that made Alphas obsessively addicted to her. This would lead to her being hunted by countless Alphas, including her sister’s fiancé. Eventually, after seizing control of the family, Gan Hu would give the “naïve” Gan Lu to a sadistic Alpha as a toy. That would be the catalyst for Gan Lu to “blacken,” using her intoxicating scent to manipulate Alphas for revenge.
Pei Suyu could see the darkening of Gan Lu’s character, but the ending was a mystery.
As for her own character? Pei Suyu was a mere “cannon fodder Alpha”—Gan Lu’s tutor who fell for her because of the pheromones. But the proud Gan Lu found Pei’s gaze disgusting and accused her of predatory behavior. Pei Suyu didn’t just lose her job; the book summarized her end in one sentence: Her fate was wretched.
Sifting through this chaotic information, Pei Suyu rubbed her temples. It seemed her intervention had already changed the plot.
Gan Lu hadn’t lost her virginity to a random Alpha, and she hadn’t developed that strange pheromone disorder… right? Would the rest of the plot change too?
Pei Suyu felt uneasy. Saving Gan Lu was already trouble enough; she didn’t want to be rewarded with “gratitude” that turned into a death sentence. The best plan was to stay far away from this future “Scum Omega” to stay safe.
Transmigrating was tragic enough; she wasn’t going to live out a “cannon fodder” life. Just as she was sorting out her thoughts, a frantic pounding came from the study door.
“Pei Suyu… I-I’m so hot…”
Gan Lu’s whimpering plea came from the hallway. Pei Suyu opened the door to find the girl curled in a corner, her face flushed and sweat beading on her fair forehead.
She reached out helplessly. “It hurts… help me… please.”
As she moaned in distress, the scent in the air began to shift rapidly—sweet peach, creamy strawberry, crisp pine…
Pheromone Disorder Syndrome?
Had she failed to escape the plot after all?
Pei Suyu frowned, unsure of what to do. The scents kept shifting, as if testing different aromas to see which one would pique Pei Suyu’s interest. But Pei Suyu remained as indifferent as an iceberg. Gan Lu, caught in her delirium, began to mumble.
Pei Suyu leaned in to listen.
“…Sister… I’m like this… and you still have no reaction,” Gan Lu whined softly. “Are you… are you really ‘incapable’?”
Pei Suyu was so annoyed she actually laughed. She scooped the girl up from the floor. Regardless of the plot, she couldn’t bear to watch this vibrant young girl rot into the “Flower of Evil” from the book.
First things first: the hospital.
Gan Lu’s consciousness was fading. She instinctively snuggled into Pei Suyu’s embrace, murmuring, “Don’t spray me with cold water again… it’s so uncomfortable.”
Pei Suyu sighed and carried her down to the car. Seeing the girl drenched in sweat, she took a tissue to wipe her brow. In that moment of closeness, Gan Lu lunged and sank her teeth into Pei Suyu’s shoulder again.
“You definitely must have been a dog in your past life!” Pei Suyu hissed. She pinched Gan Lu’s chin to rescue her twice-injured shoulder.
“It hurts—” the culprit whimpered back, still finding the strength to argue. “Liar… I’m not a dog. I’m a rabbit.”
