Falling in Love with My Amnesiac Rival

Shen Mingxu and Jiang Yue Bai were two hugely popular young actresses who rose to fame around the same time. Because they were similar in age, played similar roles, and enjoyed comparable popularity, people jokingly called them "the formulaic rivals" and "destined adversaries."

Media outlets flooded the internet with articles pitting them against each other, while their fans fought tooth and nail.

People inside and outside the entertainment industry constantly linked them together, yet the two women had never spoken in public. Even when they passed each other, they would deliberately ignore one another.

The whole world thought they were bitter enemies, but nobody knew they had once been inseparable.

Even fewer people knew that Shen Mingxu had been in love with Jiang Yue Bai for seven whole years.

An accident left Jiang Yue Bai with a head injury. When she woke up, she remembered everyone and everything, except Shen Mingxu.

Acting on a sudden impulse, Shen Mingxu tricked her, saying, "I'm your girlfriend."

Jiang Yue Bai happily accepted. Shen Mingxu was clearly her type.

The moon was in her arms, but the sword of Damocles still hung overhead.

With the moon she had long yearned for now within reach, Shen Mingxu was overjoyed, yet began to feel anxious and insecure. She was afraid Jiang Yue Bai would hate her once her memories returned, so she didn't dare get too close. She simply stayed quietly by her side.

For Shen Mingxu, that was enough.

But Jiang Yue Bai abandoned her aloof, untouchable persona and became clingy, pressing her: "Aren't we a couple? Why don't we hug, kiss, or get into bed..."

Shen Mingxu was horrified and cut off her blunt suggestion, lying, "We're a platonic couple."

"But you want me." Jiang Yue Bai met her gaze, her eyes roiling with hidden desire. "And I want you too."

The day Jiang Yue Bai learned the truth, she slapped Shen Mingxu, spat out a vicious "Liar," and walked away.

But they still hadn't finished filming the dual-female-lead drama they were starring in together.

So in the show, they were passionately entangled, while offscreen, they were consumed by love and hate.

Everyone knew they had already reached a bad ending, but fans shipped them even harder.

[Blurb Two]

Shen Mingxu and Jiang Yue Bai, who were rumored to be sworn enemies, joined the same livestream dating show. The announcement set the internet ablaze.

Their fans rolled up their sleeves, ready for a fight. Spectators who loved a good spectacle piled in, eager to watch the two tear each other apart.

Wait, weren't they supposed to be enemies? Why are they feeding the dogs to the slaughter?

Wasn't Jiang Yue Bai supposed to be a cold and aloof beauty, untouchable as a mountain peak? Why was she so forward and clingy around Shen Mingxu?

Wasn't Shen Mingxu supposed to be a cheerful, lively puppy? Why were her eyes red when Jiang Yue Bai got hurt?

The CP fans, who were so obsessed they forgot to eat or sleep, had this to say: "Enemies are supposed to become wives!"

[Blurb Three]

The livestream dating show A Heart-Fluttering Week became a huge hit. The "Mingyue" pairing, made up of Shen Mingxu and Jiang Yue Bai, gained countless fans, breaking through a crowd of established pairings to top the CP supertopic charts.

A renowned director offered them a script for a dual-female-lead drama, inviting them to star in it.

Before filming their kissing scene, Jiang Yue Bai asked Shen Mingxu, who had no experience with on-screen kisses, to coach her.

"I've never filmed a kissing scene," Shen Mingxu replied, blushing.

"What a coincidence, neither have I. How about we rehearse together, so we can get it in one take when the time comes?" Jiang Yue Bai openly stated her intentions.

When the kiss ended, Jiang Yue Bai was limp in Shen Mingxu's arms, panting for breath.

She was definitely not platonic. Jiang Yue Bai was sure of it.

And Shen Mingxu couldn't be platonic either!

Pre-release: After the Washed-Up Alpha Is Vengefully Claimed by a Crazy Beauty Omega

Shang Lu's mother damaged her gland when she was young. After her secondary gender manifested, she became an E-rank Alpha.

She couldn't smell pheromones or give a lifelong mark, making her little different from a Beta.

Dull and taciturn, she had a stunning appearance, which attracted plenty of admirers. Confessions of love were a common occurrence.

Shang Lu turned them all down. When someone wouldn't take no for an answer, she told them she was a defective Alpha.

The suitors who claimed they couldn't live without her couldn't hide the contempt in their eyes.

She had long since gotten used to it.

On the day of the college entrance exams, Shang Lu was injured saving someone and fell into a coma in the hospital. When she woke up, she found herself bound by a marriage agreement.

Only then did she learn that the elderly person she had saved was the head of the Jiangcheng Pei family, one of the city's most powerful families.

The person who brought her the marriage agreement was the old man's eldest grandson, Pei Changqing, the future heir to Pei Group.

Not wanting to hold Pei Changqing back, Shang Lu honestly told her she was a defective Alpha.

The cool, moonlike woman simply smiled faintly. "I don't mind."

Shang Lu's dead heart suddenly began to beat again.

After their marriage, Shang Lu learned that Pei Changqing had a pheromone dysregulation disorder and had an insatiable appetite for sex. But Shang Lu was unable to mark her, so she could only make up for it by increasing the frequency to satisfy Pei Changqing's needs.

Even though her hands ached so badly she could barely lift them, Shang Lu was incredibly happy.

Only with Pei Changqing did she feel needed.

She thought she could live happily with Pei Changqing for the rest of her life.

But at some point, Pei Changqing changed. She ordered Shang Lu around, verbally abused her, and even called out the name of Shang Lu's younger sister, Shang Xianyue, when they were swept up in passion.

Shang Lu pretended none of it had happened. She couldn't live without Pei Changqing.

On their first wedding anniversary, Shang Lu took a bouquet of flowers to Pei Changqing's office, hoping to surprise her.

"How could I ever like a defective Alpha? It was just a bit of fun, and you actually believed me. You really are unbelievably stupid."

With red-rimmed eyes, Shang Lu picked up the roses scattered across the floor and bowed to Pei Changqing.

Pei Changqing, an S-rank Omega, is the current CEO of Pei Group and its future heir. Cool and aloof as the bright moon, she is famous for her hatred of Alphas.

After a deliberately caused medical accident left her with pheromone dysregulation disorder, she refused to be marked by an Alpha and could only endure the torment day after day.

Then she unexpectedly met an E-rank Alpha whose pheromone concentration could ease her suffering without making her lose control.

The little Alpha was pure and pretty, without any of the usual Alpha flaws, and was good in bed too. Pei Changqing nearly considered spending her whole life with her.

Then she was bound by a System and learned that Shang Lu would betray her in the future.

The once-mighty business elite would end up homeless on the streets.

She decided to strike first.

After cruelly abandoning Shang Lu, she discovered it had all been a prank by the System.

Pei Changqing begged Shang Lu to take her back, but someone new was already by Shang Lu's side.

"President Pei, if you have even a shred of conscience, stay away from our Lu Lu. She can't take any more of your games."

*

After divorcing Pei Changqing, Shang Lu stumbled into a career as a singing streamer.

The top donor in every livestream was always the same person, supporting her from the days when she was a nobody until she became a famous internet personality.

They arranged to meet, but Shang Lu was drugged unconscious. When she woke up, she was back at the Pei family home, facing a terribly gaunt Pei Changqing.

She was trapped in the house where they had once lived as a married couple. Before every livestream, she had to cover the mottled kiss marks on her body.

"Why don't you react to me?!" Pei Changqing screamed hysterically. "Why?!"

"Because I'm a defective Alpha. I can't smell your pheromones."

Pei Changqing: "Then you can forget about leaving my side for the rest of your life!"

*Kind, awkward, pitiful Alpha x cruel, crazy, stunning Omega

*Younger woman and older woman, seven-year age gap

*Shang Lu will eventually undergo a second differentiation and become an S-rank Alpha
