Gu Yunshen's car had long disappeared into the distance, leaving me stranded in this remote area with no choice but to walk home.

Cars zoomed past me one after another, each ignoring my plight.

Among them, a friend of Gu Yunshen, who had never liked me, stopped to mock me.

"I've never liked your suck-up behavior. You only know how to snatch people away when Zhiya isn't looking.

Shameless!" "Just focus on being a good assistant and stop having those delusional thoughts!" he sneered before revving his engine, leaving me choking in a cloud of exhaust.

I pulled out a wet wipe to clean my face, taking the opportunity to wipe away my tears.

I never meant to come between anyone.

When I found myself inside this romance novel, Song Zhiya had already left Gu Yunshen and the protagonist, Ji Pingyan, to get engaged abroad.

The system informed me that achieving a perfect score in my mission could not only change his inevitable tragic fate but also reward me with four million to take home.

**Chapter 1:** Gu Yunshen was trapped in a fire caused by a production mistake, and I risked my life to save him.

When he woke up, he had forgotten everything and even accused me online of being the instigator.

**Chapter 2:** He reluctantly agreed to marry me, and I spent months meticulously planning our wedding.

On the day of the wedding, Song Zhixia called him in tears, and he left me without hesitation.

I could have blamed my mere sixty percent progress in my plan.

But this time, even with ninety-nine percent, I couldn't escape the fate of a reset.

The system comforted me, saying at least I only had ten days left before going home.

However, due to going against fate, I would face some backlash before returning.

With a bitter smile, I fought the urge to cry again.

After all the torment I had endured to please him, why fear the last bit of pain?

Knowing Gu Yunshen had filming scheduled the next day, I arrived early to prepare.

I wanted to avoid causing trouble for anyone before I went home.

Gu Yunshen was late, and despite calling for an hour, there was no answer.

The director was afraid to confront him, so he vented his frustration on me instead.

"You're his assistant; couldn't you have coordinated with him in advance?"

But I had clearly confirmed everything with Gu Yunshen yesterday.

I apologized profusely, sending message after message on WeChat asking when he would arrive.

I instinctively worried about his career.

This film was crucial for him; performing well could earn him a major acting award he had coveted for four years.

Besides, the director was a big name in the industry, and offending him would have dire consequences.

While I was frantically pacing, I learned Gu Yunshen had messaged the director to say he was taking the day off for personal reasons.

His reputation was solid, and his status high, so the director believed him immediately and agreed.

But the damage to the crew was done, and the director sent the costs to the agent for compensation.

Upon learning this, the agent blamed everything on me, deducting three months of my salary as a lesson.

She even posted the incident in the company group chat, where Gu Yunshen was, as a warning.

Gu Yunshen remained silent, offering no defense for me.

Soon, Song Zhixia posted a photo on her social media.

In the picture, their fingers were intertwined.

"Hehe, just one word of boredom and the future Best Actor lied to take a day off to hang out with me."

Comments quickly followed:

"Now that's a match made in heaven!"

"Wishing you two eternal happiness. Don't let that awful Su Jiancheng take advantage again."

"Ugh, what does it matter if she tries? Four years and she still couldn't win Yunshen's heart. What a waste."

Gu Yunshen only replied to Song Zhixia, "As long as you're happy, I'll do anything."

He openly displayed his affection for Song Zhixia, ignoring others' insults towards me.

I couldn't help but message him in protest.

"Why didn't you tell me in advance that you were taking the day off? I'm not just your assistant; I'm your girlfriend."

His reply was swift.

"You're just an assistant. I don't need to inform you about everything."

So, just an assistant.

For Song Zhixia, he who never took a day off suddenly requested three, now drawing a line between us.

Indeed, nothing and no one mattered more than Song Zhixia.

I couldn't be bothered to reply further, deleting all information about him from my phone.

I was done. I was resigning.

When I went to the office to find my manager, I accidentally bumped into Song Zhixia.

She frowned and rubbed her shoulder, ready to scold me, but held back when she saw it was me.

"What are the odds?" she said.

It must be because Gu Yunshen was back to handle some matters and couldn't bear to leave her alone, so he brought her along.

She quickly picked up my resignation contract that had fallen to the ground and gasped.

"Jing An, aren't you just taking a leave to spend time with me? Why are you causing a fuss about resigning?"

With just one sentence, she made me seem unreasonable.

She held my hand and apologized.

"I'm sorry, Yunqiao. We were out late having fun and lost track of time. I begged him to take a day off to be with me, and I forgot to tell you."

"Don't worry, we won't do this again. We'll definitely inform you early next time so you won't be inconvenienced."

"That post on social media last night was too harsh. Don't take it to heart."

"I'm actually very grateful that you've looked after Jing An so well all these years."

She smiled warmly and gracefully.

I smiled back, trying to pull my hand away.

"No need to say these things, I really..."

Song Zhixia's smile didn't waver, but she held onto my hand tightly.

I didn't think much of it, just didn't want to be entangled with her any further.

With a sudden force, I slapped her across the face.

A clear red handprint appeared instantly on her fair skin.

She held her face, looking incredulous, and then wanted to retaliate.

Gu Yunshen rushed over and grabbed her hand.

"Zhixia, what are you doing?"

Watching Gu Yunshen stand in front of me, all my grievances surged up, and I couldn't help but cry.

Song Zhixia, also teary-eyed, pointed to her face.

"Brother Yunshen, she hit me first. She said I was shameless for stealing someone else's boyfriend and slapped me. I was just about to fight back when you happened to come by. She must have done it on purpose to provoke me!"

Gu Yunshen slowly released her hand.

He believed Song Zhixia's words, gently touching her face, speaking softly.

"I misunderstood you. Does it hurt?"

He wiped away Song Zhixia's tears, shielding her behind him, and looked at me coldly.

"You owe her an apology."

My tears hadn't even stopped when he clicked his tongue.

"You're the one with poor character, and yet you still have the nerve to cry."

The system couldn't stand it and shouted at Gu Yunshen from the side.

"If you're blind, go get treated. Why do you only believe her words and not your own girlfriend's?"

"Have you forgotten how Song Zhixia left you to marry Ji Ningchen abroad, and it was Yunqiao who saved your life when you tried to kill yourself?"

"You once said she was your only salvation in this world. Have you forgotten it all?"

"Just wait, when she really leaves, you'll regret it."

Gu Yunshen chuckled softly, then spoke calmly.

"Zhixia has always been the only one in my heart. I don't care about anyone else."

His words left not only me but also the system stunned.

"How does he seem to hear what I say?"

I didn't respond, just gently wiped my tears and then spoke softly.

"I'm sorry."

Gu Yunshen was a bit surprised.

"You're right. I'm of poor character, so I'm not fit to be your assistant."

I took back my resignation letter and signed it.

"So I'm resigning."

His expression froze for a moment, his smile slowly turning cold.

"Are you serious?"

I ignored him and walked past him.

He was about to follow when Song Zhixia grabbed his arm.

"Yunshen, she's just pretending. She wouldn't really leave."

He really stopped.

I scoffed and ignored it.

Whether it's true or not will become clear in time.
