[Mad Prince x Amnesiac Assassin]
Outside Beicang City, in the secluded Yun Yin Villa, a woman who had been bedridden for a long time slowly opened her eyes.
When she woke, she couldn't remember anything, but the people serving her called her “Princess Consort.”
From what others told her, her name was Wei Peiluan, the newlywed wife of Prince Duan, Li Jingyi, and the third daughter of General Wei's household.
-
Prince Duan Li Jingyi doted on the princess consort living in his villa. Everyone in Beicang City knew about it, and everyone envied her.
For her sake, the prince set aside his duties at court.
For her sake, the prince handed over his military token.
For her sake, the prince refused to let any outsiders disturb them, so he could spend his time quietly keeping her company and caring for her at the villa.
Everyone among the maids and servants at Yun Yin Villa knew how deeply the prince and princess consort loved each other.
Even when she had been unconscious for two whole months, the prince still slept by her side every night, never leaving her for a moment.
-
Two months ago, a bounty suddenly appeared in the martial world.
“Kill Prince Duan Li Jingyi, and receive ten thousand taels of gold.”
With the order issued, a thousand riders surged toward Beicang City.
Among the assassins of the Shadow Pavilion, Shadow Nine was the most formidable. She even stood before Li Jingyi with a blade in hand.
The night was pitch-black, the wind and rain bleak. Li Jingyi split the silver skull mask with a single stroke of his sword.
Beneath the mask was a face so beautiful it took one's breath away.
The bloodlust faded from Li Jingyi's eyes, replaced by a trace of amusement. He angled the long sword in his hand half an inch aside and drove it straight into the beauty's heart.
A beauty as rare as this was impossible to find. Since she had delivered herself into his hands, the best thing to do was hide her away.

Clever seduction | Love at first sight | Love and hate | Chasing the wife | Pursuing the elder brother's wife (?)
Playboy with a sickly, spoiled streak x Timid, delicate young widow
After guarding the frontier for ten whole years, the Marquis of Wuyang suddenly dies of illness. His widow, Mu Zhen, returns to the capital with his coffin.
Mu Zhen had been married to the Marquis of Wuyang for only a year and had never been to Huajing.
She had once heard from the marquis that he had a younger brother and sister in the marquis's household.
His second younger brother, Liu Duyi, had been plagued by illness since childhood and lived in a temple outside the city.
His third younger sister, Liu Jiamiao, was exceptionally clever. Since their parents passed away, she had managed every matter, great and small, in the marquis's household.
Mu Zhen was nervous all the way from the frontier to Huajing.
How was she supposed to get along with these siblings-in-law she had never met?
-
Fortunately, though her sister-in-law Liu Jiamiao was assertive and fiery, she treated Mu Zhen, her elder brother's wife, with great courtesy.
But when she first met her second brother-in-law, Liu Duyi, she was shocked to find that he had exactly the same face as the Marquis of Wuyang.
In her alarm, she even knocked over her late husband's memorial tablet in the mourning hall.
Everyone in Huajing knew the Marquis of Wuyang and his younger brother were twins.
The marquis had been a martial arts prodigy since childhood. He inherited the title at eighteen and went off to guard the frontier.
His younger brother, Liu Duyi, had grown up constantly taking medicine. He couldn't withstand the wind or the rain.
Because the marquis's household enjoyed the emperor's favor, Liu Duyi had grown into a carefree, irreverent playboy. No one in Huajing dared provoke him.
-
At his first meeting with his sister-in-law, Liu Duyi said brazenly, “Well! Where did this beauty come from?”
At their next meeting, Liu Duyi seized her by the throat and demanded, “How exactly did my elder brother die?”
-
Everyone in Huajing said that the Marquis of Wuyang's household was harmonious, and that the sister-in-law got along well with her late husband's siblings.
But no one knew that when night fell and all was quiet, the younger brother-in-law and his sister-in-law would lie together, whispering intimately, night after night.
Until a cold dagger was pressed to Liu Duyi's throat. He gave a cold laugh and said, “Sister-in-law, are you going to kill me too?”
