The Man I Picked Up Was the Emperor

Pei Ying rescued a man with amnesia from the river.

The man was so handsome that Pei Ying tricked him into coming home, telling him they were husband and wife.

Pei Ying and the man got up to all sorts of mischief in the mountains. Then one day, a crowd arrived, saw the man, called him "Your Majesty," and promptly fell to their knees in a sea of people.

Pei Ying was stunned.
