Naive, romantic damsel in distress princess vs. free-spirited wanderer with an unknown past
During the Jiaxing era, historical records say that the emperor abandoned a princess while on campaign. After ascending the throne, he and the empress lived together in harmony for decades. His only unfulfilled wish was to find the precious person in his heart, so he posted notices across the land, searching far and wide for his lost pearl. But so many years had passed that her face and voice might have changed. Only the rouge mark between her brows remained unforgettable.
Ci An knows nothing of this. She lost both her parents the year before and is still in mourning, spending each day in sorrow. After offering one last stick of incense, she is to travel to Jiangnan to pay her respects. On the way, bandits attack her carriage, and a young man saves her. He is handsome, and the two hit it off immediately, so they travel together.
Pei Jue is an assassin. When a mission goes wrong, he mistakenly takes someone for a noblewoman traveling to the capital to claim her family. He should have killed her without a second thought, but the moment he raises his blade, she holds out the jade pendant she treasures as her only connection to family and looks at him with innocent eyes, promising to repay him for saving her life. Pei Jue pretends to accept the pendant, while privately thinking of a grander plan. He leads her deeper and deeper into his trap, until he naturally marries her. Then, on their wedding night, he lifts the red veil himself...
Several months later, Pei Jue regains his memories and becomes the long-lost Fourth Prince of the Lin Kingdom. He fakes his death and returns to the Lin Kingdom to accomplish great things. Before leaving, he catches sight of the princess he once personally sent back to her home in the clouds: his wife. She is deeply in love with the newly appointed top graduate of the imperial exams. They have been married for two months and already have a little scoundrel, becoming the talk of the town.
His eyes turn bloodshot. He races home, ascends the throne, and makes his first order to keep her by his side. He personally admits his past mistakes to her, listing all the ways he once trampled on the princess’s sincere feelings for him.
Content warnings
1. The heroine is a naive, innocent flower who knows nothing about love between men and women.
2. At first, the hero is only playing around. He’s a total womanizer.
3. There’s the old amnesia trope, but the hero gets his memories back and won’t forget anything about the heroine.
HE ending. The early chapters may be frustrating and make you want to sulk, but things get better later. The hero will truly love the heroine. Please don’t flame me; I won’t take it too seriously if you do.
Theme: Even different plants can grow from the same branch
