[Marriage first, love later + amnesia + face-slapping + farming + satisfying read]
Su Yaoyao is gentle and sweet-natured, with a delicate, charming appearance. But after her family falls apart, all she has left are her uncle’s family, who want to take everything she owns. When her aunt-by-marriage comes around to mooch off her for what feels like the hundredth time,
Su Yaoyao grits her teeth and decides to buy herself a man from a human trafficker to help her get by. At the very least, she can’t let them gobble up everything her parents left her. The trafficker has all kinds of men, a bewildering assortment of types. Ignoring their eager, flattering stares, Su Yaoyao stops in front of the man in the farthest corner. He’s tall and sturdy, and looks like he’d be good at having children. Su Yaoyao makes up her mind on the spot: him!

Liu Jing is the crown prince, moody and suspicious by nature. After someone sets him up, he loses his memory and is bought by a woman to work as her laborer, then thoroughly taken advantage of.
The woman is all sweet talk. During the day, she coaxes him into chopping wood and tending the fire. At night, she rides him like a donkey in bed, all while insisting that this is what love looks like.
Liu Jing believes her.
When his memories return, Liu Jing is furious and swears to make the despicable woman pay!
He returns to the little courtyard where they once lived. Before he can even go inside, a boy who looks exactly like him is calling someone “Dad.”
And Su Yaoyao, that wretched woman, looks just as clueless and stupid as ever.
With a dark expression, Liu Jing is about to reveal who he is and watch her break down in tears and beg for mercy, when she says, “Huh, you look familiar.”
Liu Jing: Fine. Very well!
Very pretty [laughing]
