At eight years old, Le Xi's parents died in a car accident, and she first met Chi Chuji at the funeral. It was said that her alpha mother came from a powerful family, but to defy an arranged marriage, she ultimately abandoned her betrothed and eloped with her omega lover, giving birth to Le Xi. Chi Chuji (ji, fourth tone) was the fiancée her mother had abandoned. (The engagement has since been dissolved.) The family's dynamics were complicated, and Le Xi occupied an awkward position, with no one truly caring for her. So before long, Chi Chuji took her away. Le Xi knew Chi Chuji didn’t like her. But it didn’t matter—at the very least, Chi Chuji still took care of her and raised her properly. For ten years, they lived together under the same roof in an indifferent, distant coexistence. But no one could have predicted that one day, Le Xi would undergo a secondary gender differentiation, and everything would change. Chi Chuji: You’re just here to atone for your mother’s sins. I don’t like you. Le Xi: Mm, I know. You love me.
