Story Guide

Episode 1

Avery has had enough. Her Arctic fox beastman Lucien has clawed her arm again, and the wound is deep enough to split flesh. When she confronts him, he doesn't apologize — he complains he's hungry and blames her for doing a terrible job taking care of him. That's when it clicks: after a full year registered together, he's never once planned to sign a partnership bond with a class-C citizen like her.

At the community center, Avery asks to terminate the contract and pick a new partner. The staff are shocked. But Avery is done crying over a fox who thinks she's beneath him.

Episode 2

The center explains the rules: Avery spent everything to choose Lucien, so she can now pick a replacement from beastmen in the same price range. She wants a canine — loyal, clingy, fine with an ordinary neighborhood. None are available right now, but there's another option.

A wolf. Wild and untamed, yet the staff swear he's the most obedient beastman they have, trained since he was young, never hurt anyone without cause. If no one claims him today, he goes to the underground fighting pits — fights to the death for entertainment. Avery doesn't hesitate: "Then I'll take him."

Episode 3

Kane will be delivered in three days. Avery tucks the deregistration paperwork into her bag and heads out — only to spot Lucien with Selina, a class-A woman from the new apartments across the river whose parents sit on the foundation board. They've been growing closer, and Selina keeps bringing premium nutrient supplements.

Selina needles Avery about her appearance, and Lucien doesn't defend her. He calls being registered to Avery the worst thing that's ever happened to him, and mocks her class to Selina's face. Selina scolds him, but the damage is already done.

Episode 4

Avery remembers when Lucien was different. Back when she couldn't afford class-A nutrients, he still smiled and called meeting her the luckiest thing that ever happened. Then another fox mocked them both — a "defective product that can't breed" paired with a lower-class human — and something in Lucien shifted.

He met Selina, who could give him the life he craved. When Avery asked him to keep his distance, he lashed out: she only took advantage of him when he had nowhere else to go. But Avery remembers the truth — Lucien once knelt and begged her to save him.

Episode 5

The truth comes out. In this age of scarce fertility, beastmen bear children for humans through partnership bonds. Lucien was the center's brightest candidate — until tests showed he couldn't conceive. Overnight, no one wanted him, and the center planned to send him to the underground fighting pits.

Avery, who grew up in foster homes wanting a real home, spent her savings and took on loans to register him. She never mentioned that day again. Yet in his heart, she became the person who exploited him at his weakest. When she asks if being with her is truly miserable, he sneers that she'll cling to him forever. So she makes her call — and promises him a gift.

Episode 6

Avery heads to the Community Mall for supplies, buying things for the wolf partner arriving in three days. For once, there's no bitterness in her — she even tells Lucien to go shopping with Selina without a fight. He's baffled she isn't jealous.

That night, Lucien is home early, demanding dinner. Avery mentions the cream cake he once threw away, and he spots her purchases, assuming they're for him. Then she drops the truth: she's filed for deregistration, and in three days he won't have to see her anymore.

Episode 7

Lucien doesn't believe it. He accuses Avery of playing hard to get, of staging a deregistration stunt to make him beg. When she stays calm, he gets angrier — tearing the calendar to shreds and vowing that even after a partnership ceremony, he'd still see Selina publicly.

Then he spits the cruelest line yet, calling her a defective product who can't breed and registering her the biggest mistake of his life. Avery walks away. At her door waits Kane, a wolf beastman flagged high risk — who kneels and says he belongs to her.

If you love a good "she chose the wrong one first" story, this one's worth a watch.
