Beauty destroys the heroine like a cancerous tumor. Her own perfection burdens her, and she longs to get rid of this useless sign of personality, to dump beauty somewhere around the corner or in a remote corner of the suburbs. The girl is tired of being the center of men’s attention.

The heroine and her ancestors had tiny warm-blooded insects in their blood, causing them to suffer insomnia at night. The insects were passed down from generation to generation, condemning the carriers to torment. They appeared in the first of the mothers who gave birth to a beautiful daughter. It was necessary to interrupt the order of such inheritance.

Suddenly the heroine feels that she is not in her bed, her body has disappeared, and she has become incorporeal and floating in free flight. The girl was flying in an unknown direction and could not understand what was happening.

The heroine decides to return to the world of the living by incarnating into her cat, but she can’t find her anywhere. She soon realizes that three thousand years have passed since her disappearance.
