Yun Qingyan, born into the world, lost both her parents at ten and followed her grandfather to the frontier, where she fought on the battlefield.
Later, she helped a princess who had patiently bided her time become the new empress, and became a founding general.
An accident at a banquet left her with a child by Ji Yunxiu, whom she thought was only a friend. The two married.
What Yun Qingyan thought: We’re marrying because of the baby.
What Ji Yunxiu thought: Set off fireworks! I’m so happy! She’s finally mine.
Ji Yunxiu worked hard to maintain his aloof persona, all because Yun Qingyan had once said she liked aloof men.
Combined with other reasons, this meant they spent less time together after marriage than they had before.
When their child was almost four, Yun Qingyan lost her memories and thought she had transmigrated into someone else’s body.
(The male lead had liked the female lead for a long time before they married, but she didn’t know and had never been in love with anyone.)
