Summary
Meng Ling, a world-class master perfumer and legendary heartbreaker, has transmigrated. She finds herself in the body of a stunning “Diamond-tier” female Alpha with ivory skin and legs for days, a life essentially lived on easy mode.
There’s just one catch: her pheromones smell like bitter melon, and during her heat, the scent is potent enough to literally knock an Omega unconscious from the bitterness.
To survive this social nightmare, Meng Ling is forced to hide her peerless beauty and take a job as a stoic, celibate Dean of Students at an interstellar university.
Everything is under control until the school hires a new guest professor, a superstar with a face that defies logic and a physique so Alpha-coded it sets the entire campus on fire. The student body is in a frenzy, and Omegas are dropping into heat left and right just from looking at him.
Now, Meng Ling has to spend every workday gulping down a bowl of “suppressant tea” just to keep her mounting irritation in check, and the two of them can’t stand each other, it’s mutual loathing at first sight.
That is, until the day the rebellious, “refined scoundrel” of a professor ends up slumped against her desk, his eyes flushed a deep rose. He’s radiating the sweet, intoxicating scent of sun-ripened oranges, the unmistakable mark of an Omega.
As her long-repressed bitter-melon pheromones begin to leak out, the man doesn’t recoil. Instead, he greedily inhales the scent, his eyes tracing the sharp lines of her buttoned-up black professional suit, and licks his dry lips, whispering: “Bite me.”
Marshal Xie Nuocheng was only using his superstar persona as a cover for a vacation. When he discovers that the “ugly,” rigid Dean Meng possesses a secret formula for pheromone suppressants, he decides to investigate.
He bites back his temper and hides his disdain, meticulously seducing and baiting her just to get close. He finally wins her trust and secures the formula, only for her to seemingly perish in a catastrophic laboratory explosion.
A year later, the truth surfaces: she was the mastermind behind that very explosion.
In a dimly lit bar, the neon lights dance across her pale, glowing skin as every male Omega in the room watches her with predatory hunger. From the shadows, Xie Nuocheng watches her, his dark brown eyes flickering with a dangerous light as he lets out a low, chilling laugh.
