I Gained a Daoist Partner After Losing My Memory

[The main story is complete. The next book is "Turns Out My Wife Really Doesn't Love Me"]

Xie Yixiu had lost his memory.

He woke up in a bamboo hut on a remote mountain. The moment he opened his eyes, he saw an unfamiliar man in white sitting beside his bed.

When the man learned that he couldn't remember anything, he took Xie Yixiu's hand. His voice trembled, and he choked back sobs as he said, "I'm the cultivation partner you've been married to for three years."

Xie Yixiu quickly accepted the fact that he had a cultivation partner.

His partner, Su Xuejing, was as pure and lustrous as jade, gentle and refined, and wouldn't even step on an ant.

They got along well, though sometimes Xie Yixiu thought Su Xuejing was a little strange.

Like how, whenever Xie Yixiu asked why he'd lost his memory, Su Xuejing's evasions were painfully obvious.

Like how he never let Xie Yixiu set foot beyond the mountain, claiming it was for the sake of his health.

Like how, sometimes, when Xie Yixiu was distracted, Su Xuejing would suddenly demand in a hysterical voice, "Are you thinking about that slut again?"

Aside from that, their days were peaceful and happy.

Until one day, while Su Xuejing was away, a man named Fang Lingwen appeared before Xie Yixiu and said he was Xie Yixiu's real cultivation partner.

Then Xie Yixiu remembered everything.

Xie Yixiu had once been an outer disciple of Taizhen Sect. Because of his lowly origins, he was shunned by everyone in the sect and suffered one humiliation after another.

Yet by sheer coincidence, his fate complemented that of the sect's senior disciple, Fang Lingwen, so the sect elders arranged their betrothal.

But Fang Lingwen didn't love him. Fang Lingwen was in love with his junior brother, Su Xuejing, who had grown up with him.

Su Xuejing and Fang Lingwen were a match made in heaven. Xie Yixiu was the one who broke them apart.

Everyone in the sect hated Xie Yixiu and wanted him dead, including Su Xuejing.

Under the daily taunts and jeers, Xie Yixiu finally broke. He went mad with cultivation deviation and fell from a steep cliff.

The last straw was Su Xuejing.

In Xie Yixiu's eyes, Su Xuejing had always been kind and warm as a spring breeze. Though he was cold toward Xie Yixiu, he'd never bullied him.

But that seemingly good man looked at him with pity and disgust and said, "You're just a mortal. You're not worthy of Lingwen. If you're trying to marry into a wealthy family, you really shouldn't go after him."

[Reader's Guide]

1. One-on-one romance, single-cherry, happy ending. The top is pure in both body and heart.

2. The bottom is falsely seen as universally disliked. His betrothal to the supporting character is ended after he leaves the sect. Both the top and the supporting character will have to grovel to win back their love.

3. Very melodramatic and dark. Mainly a story about two people going round and round in love with each other.

Young Lord Xue Liujin had lived a life of privilege from childhood. Arrogant and unruly, proud to the bone, he had only ever been thwarted in one thing:

Being forced to take a man as his wife.

On their wedding night, Xue Liujin told Su Yu, "I won't fall in love with a man, and I certainly won't fall in love with you. Make the best of it."

Su Yu had been about to say nothing, but when he got a good look at Xue Liujin, he paused and slowly replied, "All right."

*

After they had been married for a while, Xue Liujin found Su Yu more and more irritating.

They went to bed far apart, yet when he woke up, Su Yu would be curled up in his arms.

He'd said he didn't need Su Yu to fuss over him, yet Su Yu still prepared delicious meals every day to please him.

Su Yu's neck was so slender and fair, yet he insisted on leaving it bare every day, making Xue Liujin restless.

One night, Xue Liujin asked Su Yu why he treated him so well.

Su Yu smiled and said, "Because I love you, my husband."

The man's smile made Xue Liujin's heart skip a beat.

He rolled over, pinned Su Yu to the bed, and said in a low voice, "Then let me see your love."

*

Xue Liujin gradually fell helplessly in love with Su Yu.

But he could never think of a reason why Su Yu would love him, so he grew anxious and insecure, asking over and over whether Su Yu really loved him.

Su Yu would accept all his cruel teasing, his eyes misty as he looked past Xue Liujin at someone he couldn't see. "I love you."

To prove that Su Yu loved him, Xue Liujin kept picking fights.

Su Yu hadn't smiled at him before he left the house, so he didn't love Xue Liujin anymore and wanted a divorce.

The pastries weren't made with enough care, so he didn't love Xue Liujin anymore and wanted a divorce.

Su Yu hadn't been enthusiastic enough at night, so he didn't love Xue Liujin anymore and wanted a divorce.

At times like that, Su Yu would always smile gently and say, "Xiao Jin, don't be mad. I love you most of all."

Xue Liujin thought Su Yu would put up with him forever, until one day Su Yu fell silent for a moment, then agreed to a divorce.

After their divorce, Xue Liujin was miserable. He said they should go their separate ways, but in reality, he had people follow Su Yu every day.

One day, his attendant told him that Su Yu was getting very close to a man who looked rather like the Marquis.

Xue Liujin was furious, yet secretly delighted. Su Yu still had feelings for him. They'd been divorced for only a month, and he was already looking for a stand-in.

But the attendant continued, "Su Yu and that man have known each other since childhood and are very close. He was away serving as an official, but recently returned to the capital."

Xue Liujin froze, icy cold from head to toe.

So he was the stand-in.
