You Were the One Who Abandoned Me, Weren’t You?

Song Xiao transmigrates into an ABO novel as the most forgettable background character, a Beta.

She has just one mission: save Jiang Ruotang, the elite Alpha who is exploited by her family, betrayed in love, and ultimately driven to suicide by despair.

She thinks this is just a mission. Get close to her, comfort her, change her fate, then leave once the job is done and return to her own world. She thinks she won't fall for her, won't lose herself, won't find her heart racing until she can hardly breathe as she gazes into those crimson eyes beneath the moonlight.

She was wrong.

With patience and companionship, she slowly melts Jiang Ruotang's frozen heart. From their silent standoff on the rooftop to their fingertips brushing during piano lessons; from a bowl of late-night noodles to a hug that comes four years too late. They hold hands as ginkgo leaves fall and make promises on an afternoon when the pagoda trees are in bloom. Song Xiao thinks that once the affection meter is full and the mission is complete, she can stay forever, by Jiang Ruotang's side.

But the System tells her: the day the mission is complete is the day she must leave.

Worse still, after she goes, every memory of her will be erased from this world. Jiang Ruotang will forget her, as if she had never existed.
