What on Earth Did I Do Before I Lost My Memory?

[I'm experimenting with a different writing style in this one. If you have a lot of dealbreakers, this story may not be for you. The later parts also become pretty disconnected from reality, so if you decide to read it, I recommend buying one chapter at a time.]

Chu Zhi finally finishes her graduation project after staying up for three nights straight. Overcome with excitement, she faints.

She thinks she's about to die from overwork, but when she opens her eyes, it's five years later, and she's lost all her memories from those years.

That's not all. A beautiful older woman standing before her is holding a three-year-old child and claims to be her live-in partner.

Chu Zhi stares as the wailing child calls her “Mom,” and her mind goes blank for a moment...

Chu Zhi: What on earth did I do before I lost my memory?!

Bai Qingming, 29, is left in debt after her parents die. Her job screws her over, and her only family is her seriously ill, fourteen-year-old sister.

Chu Zhi, 27, is forced to take over her family's company. She's busy from morning till night, and her only family is her three-year-old niece.

Down on her luck, Bai Qingming is introduced by a friend to a job caring for Chu Zhi's niece.

Less than two months later, Chu Zhi loses her memory in an accident.

Looking at her amnesiac boss, Bai Qingming thinks of her sister's enormous medical bills. She grits her teeth and tells a huge lie for her sister's sake.

Bai Qingming: I'm your live-in partner.

Chu Zhi: Wow! I have a partner and a daughter!

Bai Qingming: ...

She regrets it. She really regrets it.

After Chu Zhi regains her memories:

Bai Qingming: Someone like me could never be forgiven. I've already prepared myself to go to prison

Chu Zhi: Girlfriend! I don't care! You're my girlfriend!

Bai Qingming: ???

* Chu Zhi has a secret crush on Bai Qingming.

* Their relationship begins with a lie. Read with caution if that bothers you.

This is a third-person, one-on-one, lighthearted and melodramatic (?), sweet romance. Enjoy!

Theme: Everyone must pay for their mistakes.
