“Goodbye, my true love. I had a lovely time yesterday.”
-Gentle, timid, honest Beta VS possessive to the max, cold and stubborn Alpha
-Substitute / my take on ABO / AB / regret-and-pursuit romance / no side characters
Chen Lanxu was ordinary in every way: mediocre talent, bland pheromones, and a dull personality. Only her face stood out. Her bright, striking looks were a stark contrast to her gloomy nature.
Ever since their school days, everyone who saw Chen Lanxu beside Jiang Yichi praised the eldest Miss Jiang for her kindness in keeping such an ordinary Beta around and helping her along.
Only Chen Lanxu knew what a bastard Jiang Yichi was.
As the sole heir to the Jiang Group, Jiang Yichi was born proud and arrogant, cool and composed, and never fell in love. Jiang Yichi favored Chen Lanxu only because she had the face Jiang Yichi loved.
Chen Lanxu knew her place, and Jiang Yichi was more than happy to remind her from time to time that she was only a substitute.
Chen Lanxu endured it until she was twenty-three, the day of her university graduation ceremony.
Jiang Yichi had too much to drink and was even more cruel than usual. Her pheromones surged with fierce intensity, like a savage black dragon awakening. But Chen Lanxu felt nothing. There was a time when that would have moved her to tears, making her believe she was one of a kind in Jiang Yichi’s heart.
Before dawn the next morning, Chen Lanxu disappeared.
She vanished from Jiang Yichi’s world without a trace.
Goodbye, first love. Chen Lanxu’s first love, all on her own.

Jiang Yichi’s little canary had flown away.
Jiang Yichi went on being the CEO Jiang, presiding over her business empire.
There was no need to rush. What was there to be anxious about? It wasn’t the first time. Every time, Chen Lanxu came back in a sorry state, kneeling before her and meekly admitting she was wrong.
Jiang Yichi waited three months before she finally realized something was off. Her Beta...
might actually have run away for good!
The kind who couldn’t be found even if you turned the whole world upside down!
Jiang Yichi searched frantically for three years. When that woman finally appeared before her again, she was calm and composed. “You’re in the way. Please let me pass.”
The little Beta who had always seemed timid and weak in her memory was no longer afraid of her at all.
What Jiang Yichi cared about most was this: who was the child holding Chen Lanxu’s hand!?
Several names flashed through Jiang Yichi’s mind, and every one seemed possible.
CEO Jiang’s face went dark in an instant.
The little bird that had flown free for too long: she would bring her back.
By any means necessary.
She, Jiang Yichi, had never agreed to leave love in yesterday.
