Blurb:
Pei Zhaoyue had a face of breathtaking, delicate beauty, yet in everyday life he was merely an aloof, overlooked son born to a concubine.
Everyone said he had no interest in political power struggles, but only Pei Zhaoyue knew how despicable, shameless, and wicked he really was.
He harbored feelings for someone he should never have dared to desire. His heart had just begun to stir, and his blood ran hot, but no one knew his secret.
His legitimate elder brother, the Crown Prince, teased him for nearly reaching twenty without a single person by his side to care for him.
Pei Zhaoyue simply lowered his eyes, giving nothing away.
That day, after several rounds of drinks, Pei Zhaoyue accidentally drank the spiked wine meant for the Crown Prince.
The sober Crown Prince smiled faintly, lips parted. Amid the haze of wine, he seemed to hear his sixth younger brother mumbling:
"Ruan... Ruan..."
The Crown Prince's blood froze. He thought he must have misheard.
He assumed it was the name of some peerlessly beautiful woman from the pleasure quarters.
He forgot that his own wife was surnamed Ruan, and her given name was Tao.

A scheme left Pei Zhaoyue and Ruan Tao with amnesia.
The two relied on each other in a village, and he took advantage of being younger to trick Ruan Tao into doing all sorts of improper things.
"Ruanruan, I'm your husband."
He trembled as he lied to her. In his bare eyes, full of longing, was a possessiveness that surprised even himself.
He lured her into bed and had his fill of her.
Later, Ruan Tao learned the truth and slapped him hard, eyes red.
The man caressed the mark her slap had left on him, savoring it as he closed in step by step. His gaze was obsessive, but his words were tender:
"That was too light, baby. Harder next time."
