In a world where scent reveals more than words ever could, two men are drawn into a story wrapped in secrets, memory, and a fragrance neither can forget. Jìn Yàoshēn, a cold and calculating Alpha CEO, walks into a quiet scent studio under a false name. He wears a fragrance that's sharp, bitter, and intimately tied to the past—a scent he knows will provoke the person he came to ruin. But Lù Zǐwēi, a soft-spoken Omega perfumer, doesn't recognize the lie. He only knows the cologne on Yàoshēn’s skin makes his pulse stutter—familiar, painful, like a ghost reaching out through the air. As their sessions continue, Zǐwēi begins to chase the feeling he can’t name, while Yàoshēn sinks deeper into the truth he swore he'd never confess. Between scent trials and silent confessions, they unravel a story of revenge turned into yearning, and longing turned into something dangerously close to love. In the end, they must decide: Will the truth break their bond— Or was the bitter honey always the taste of something healing?
