Poisonous flower on a high peak / beautiful poisonous weed x honest man / honest man turned bad
After her husband, Xu Lianzhi, sold her off to advance himself, Yu Feiwan jumped from a cliff to survive and met an exceptionally handsome man.
Though the man had lost his memory, he was capable and treated her with great tenderness. She couldn't help falling for him.
She gave him the name A Yu.
She promised A Yu she would divorce her husband and never leave him in this lifetime.
She was happy with A Yu. He would comb her hair, buy her little yellow chicks, and take her to catch shrimp and fish. Though they had no fine clothes or delicacies, she was willing to spend her whole life with him like this.
But Xu Lianzhi had A Yu killed, and not even his body was left behind.
She was furious, unwilling to accept it, helpless, and disgusted with her own weakness.
Since Xu Lianzhi wanted to offer her up to climb the social ladder, why shouldn't she climb it herself? She would drag the Xu family down with her and take revenge for A Yu.
But can someone tell her why the regent she had gone to such lengths to seduce looked exactly like A Yu?
That face, always gentle and smiling, had turned sinister and frightening.

Gu Shiliu had been stifled for nearly twenty years. At last, he wrested control of the body from the dominant personality, Xiao Chengyin.
The day before the banquet, he thought Yu Feiwan would surely attend as the wife of a court official. Since she had dared to lift her skirts and run away, then refuse to take responsibility after they'd slept together, she couldn't blame him for being petty and holding a grudge.
But once the banquet began, Gu Shiliu changed his mind. He started envying his other self. He had seen her first, so why should his hypocritical other self get all the benefits? And the man sitting beside her was an eyesore no matter how he looked at him.
If they could do it, then so could he!
