[Sweet Romance + Both Leads Pure + Villainess + Powerful Minister + Devoted Love]
(Awakened Villainess Pretends to Have Amnesia to Save Herself + Scheming Man in Power Steals Her Love + Reborn Scumbag Returns, Only to Have His Elder Brother Steal His Bride)
Wen Ying awakens and discovers she is the doomed, troublesome cannon-fodder villainess in a story.
Because of a childhood debt of gratitude, she relentlessly pursued Pei Jingxiu and became the young marquis’s fiancée. In the end, he abandoned her, and she died miserably on the road to exile in the dead of winter.
To stay alive, Wen Ying makes up her mind: break off the engagement, make money, and run!
When the cold, dignified Chief Councillor Pei Huaizhi, who wields immense power, lights “soul-stealing incense,” Wen Ying is overjoyed. She simply plays along and pretends to have amnesia.
“Elder Brother, I don’t remember anything. I’ve even forgotten who Jingxiu is…”
She thinks her acting is flawless and that she can now roam freely beneath the vast sky. Little does she know that in the dead of night, the cool and aloof Chief Councillor will push open her carved wooden window, trap her in his arms, and coax her in a hoarse voice: “Good girl, Ying. Kiss me. Call me your husband.”
Later, Pei Jingxiu is reborn. His eyes bloodshot, he comes bearing their marriage contract, hoping to make amends.
Instead, he runs into the unattainable Chief Councillor, who is holding his soft, timid former fiancée in his arms, his eyes filled with frenzied possessiveness.
Huddled in the Chief Councillor’s embrace, Wen Ying murmurs timidly, “Who are you? Elder Brother, I’m scared…”
