For three years of high school, Pei Shijin acted as the Eldest Young Lady Lu Yixue’s lackey for two and a half years, and she also secretly, cautiously loved her for two and a half years.
Lu Yixue was the apple of the Lu family’s eye—noble, elegant, and dazzling. Pei Shijin, on the other hand, was like dust in the mud, hustling every day just to pay debts and survive.
She thought the farewell at high school graduation would be forever, never imagining she would cross paths with Lu Yixue again.
Until she was selling pheromones at the hospital, and Lu Yixue’s family found her, wanting her to enter a contract marriage with Lu Yixue.
It turned out Lu Yixue suffered from a hereditary genetic disease. Only by bonding with an Alpha who had a 100% pheromone compatibility and conceiving the next generation could she live on normally and healthily.
Lu Yixue’s family settled all of Pei Shijin’s debts, put her mother in the best hospital ward, and provided the best treatment. Pei Shijin had no reason to refuse.
At that moment, Pei Shijin was secretly delighted, excited, and thanking the gods for their mercy.
By day, she waited on Lu Yixue hand and foot, cooking for her and holding her umbrella; deep in the night, she tried every trick to ensure Lu Yixue was comfortable and happy.
However, Lu Yixue never once smiled at her.
By chance, Pei Shijin overheard Lu Yixue evaluating her to a friend: “A scheming social climber. It’s disgusting. I’m just dealing with her for my family’s sake.”
At that time, their daughter was already three years old, and Lu Yixue’s genetic disease was completely cured.
Pei Shijin sat in silence all night. The next day, she left the signed divorce papers and departed alone.
Lu Yixue had always thought Pei Shijin was someone who would do anything for money. She calmly enjoyed the warmth and tenderness Pei Shijin brought, yet was stingy with even a single smile.
When she saw the empty home and the divorce agreement, Lu Yixue merely treated it as shedding a burden and sent people to erase all traces of Pei Shijin.
Everyone tactfully avoided mentioning Pei Shijin in front of Lu Yixue.
Until a banquet, where she saw Pei Shijin standing beside another Omega, holding the hand of a strange child calling her “Mommy,” giving to another mother and daughter everything that had once belonged to her.
