ABO: Beyond Remembrance

Beautiful general x ailing prince, one-on-one, both Alphas. Because the recipient has poor health, the medicinal scent on his body masks his pheromones, so he is always mistaken for a different sex.

Bu Yue first met Jiang Ningyu when she was seven. Thinking he was a little girl, she treated him courteously and remained patient no matter how much he misbehaved.

When she saw him again at fourteen, he had grown tall and strong and presented as a Qianyang. Dashing and heroic, he made Bu Yue feel that all the tenderness she had spent on him over the years had gone to waste.

When Jiang Ningyu pinned her down in a fit of madness at the age of twenty, Bu Yue finally lost her patience and slapped him.

Bu Yue: Is something wrong with your head, or your eyes? Can’t you tell I’m a Qianyang just like you? Can’t you smell my pheromones?

Jiang Ningyu: …Isn’t that just the smell of medicine?

Bu Yue: …You! Utter! Idiot!

I try not to think of you, yet thoughts of you return. A lonely lamp glimmers through the long night, and half the bed lies empty beneath the quilt.

The rain falls on, the water clock drips on. Gusts of wind shake the paper window. How can my heart not break?

Longing for You: Try Not to Think, Song dynasty, anonymous
