At eighteen she is already a legend in the army. The coldest, sharpest soldier in a generation, perfect at everything she touches and interested in nothing but the next target. They call her a machine. No one knows she is the lost heir of a slaughtered crime family, alive only because someone hid her, and that every medal she earns is one more step toward the man who killed her parents. Three men know who she really is. The youngest general in the country's history loved her before either of them had a word for it, and now guards her from the shadows — she files him under "older brother." The soldier she grew up and bled beside would burn the world for her, and she is certain he only ever sees a little sister. And the mafia lord who has hunted her for three years means to set a crown on her head or a bullet through it, whichever keeps her. She misreads the first two and underestimates the third. She is wrong on every count.

Bai Zhaoyan died in the apocalypse and transmigrated into the body of a universally despised female in the ancient Beast World, just as she was trying to seduce the White Snake. The original owner of the body was gluttonous and lazy, overweight and complacent, ugly in appearance, and had forcefully taken four Beast Husbands for herself. Her leader brother felt she was a disgrace and wanted to drive her out of the tribe; no one in the entire tribe could stand the sight of her.

When she remembers her mission and turns to look, she finds that the four Beast Husbands who once loathed her have, at some unknown point, all changed their attitudes. White Snake: "Zhaoyan, I was wrong. Please, just look at me one more time." Black Wolf: "You were the one who took me in. You can't abandon me." Fire Fox: "Big sister, kiss me. Big sister, hug me.
