Description
Rong Qiu is a beta, and an orphan at that. Despite this, he excelled and gained admission to the best school in A Star, where he had a sweet and affectionate relationship with another beta. On the day they graduated and moved in together, Rong Qiu’s lover, Qin Ye, suddenly disappeared without a trace. Rong Qiu searched every inch of A Star until one day, he entered the most famous bar and finally saw the person he wanted to see…. His lover, Qin Ye, seemed noble and distinguished, chatting and laughing nearby. The familiar voice, however, uttered words that sounded unfamiliar to Rong Qiu. “I, Qin Muye, an S-rank alpha, the youngest son of the Qin family. Destined to marry an S-rank omega, how could I marry someone like Rong Qiu, an obscure beta, he’s simply just for fun before graduation….” False name, false background—clearly, his once cherished love was now treated as worthless. Realizing this, Rong Qiu woke up, used his remaining savings, and went to the interstellar mental clinic to erase his memories…. Since it’s alpha Qin Muye who doesn’t love him, Rong Qiu decided to remember only the beta Qin Ye, who belonged to him. *** Facing the beta who left without a word five years ago, Qin Muye restrained his wrists, bit into his neck with menacing fierceness, but unexpectedly burst into tears. “I missed you.” Rong Qiu, bewildered, sniffed the unfamiliar scent and quickly pushed away the now uncontrollable alpha. His face showed the deliberate tenderness reserved for strangers. “You’re not him.” Though your appearance resembles him in every way, my lover is a beta, and an orphan named Qin Ye. *** Qin Muye: Your ex-boyfriend… Rong Qiu, smoking: None of your business, don’t mind this handsome boy’s business. *** ◆ Note: Multiple triggers, be careful when entering – cliché amnesia plot x self-sacrifice x initial antagonistic characters (including good ones, but look carefully) x bottom with a lovey-dovey brain (including giving up exams, raised in an orphanage, severely lacking love – if you can’t accept, stay away) x bottom has a catchphrase “ah” (habit since childhood, details in extra, if you can’t accept, stay away) x strong social class discrimination (if you can’t accept, stay away) x severe discrimination against beta (if you can’t accept, stay away) x has supplementary CPx to be added, chasing wife, dog-blooded clichés… ◆ If you can accept all of this, I wish you a pleasant reading. One-sentence Summary: “Sorry, my boyfriend is already dead~” Theme: Self-esteem and self-love, each person is an independent and free bird

My Thoughts on After the Breakup, He Washed Away the Memories
"After the Breakup, He Washed Away the Memories" is a wild ride through the omegaverse, tackling themes of love, loss, and second chances. This psychological romance with sci-fi elements definitely isn't for the faint of heart, diving deep into potentially triggering themes. While the premise intrigued me, the execution left me with mixed feelings.
First Impressions
Going in, I knew this was a "wife-chasing crematorium" trope, but the initial chapters were still rough. The setup focuses on Rong Qiu, our beta MC, and his unrequited love for the alpha ML, Qin Muye. I found myself frustrated with Rong Qiu's naivete and the power imbalance in their relationship. The early chapters definitely require patience, as they lay the groundwork for the emotional rollercoaster to come.
What Works Well
The amnesia plot device is where this novel truly shines. Seeing Qin Muye finally face the consequences of his actions and grovel for forgiveness was incredibly satisfying. The role reversal, with Rong Qiu now cold and distant, was a delicious turn of events. Many readers praised this part of the story, and I have to agree – it's the strongest element by far. The character development, particularly for Qin Muye, is commendable. He undergoes a significant transformation as he confronts his past behavior and learns to appreciate Rong Qiu's worth.
Areas of Concern
The pacing can be uneven. The initial suffering felt prolonged, and the introduction of various conflicts and conspiracies towards the end felt rushed. I also felt that some of the side characters, particularly Rong Qin, weren't handled well. His actions felt more damaging than the ML's and his redemption felt unearned.

Final Verdict
"After the Breakup, He Washed Away the Memories" is a flawed but ultimately compelling novel. The initial chapters require patience, but the payoff of the amnesia arc and the ML's groveling is worth it for those who enjoy the "wife-chasing crematorium" trope. While some plot points and characters could have been handled better, the overall story is engaging and thought-provoking. I'd give it a solid 3.5/5 stars. Just be prepared for a bumpy ride!
