Zhong Chichi had only gone on a trip and come back with a man, one who was gravely injured and unconscious.
Though kindhearted Zhong Chichi was frightened, she steeled herself and dragged the man all the way home.
Though, to be fair, he was practically being hauled along the ground.
After several days of devoted care, the man finally woke up. Unfortunately, he remembered only his name and nothing else.
He said his name was Cheng Muyuan, and that since Zhong Chichi had picked him up, she was responsible for him.
Though Zhong Chichi was confused, she still let Cheng Muyuan stay.
Cheng Muyuan, the Snake King, had been harmed by treacherous enemies. Badly injured and unconscious, he had collapsed by an unfamiliar roadside. When he woke, a young woman as beautiful as a celestial maiden was beside him, holding a bowl of medicine.
With just one glance, Cheng Muyuan decided that the woman before him was his wife, the Snake King's destined consort.
He began pretending to have amnesia, putting on a pitiful act and shamelessly staying in Zhong Chichi's home.
As time passed, Cheng Muyuan realized that Zhong Chichi wasn't very bright and was easy to fool. With just a little trickery, he completely made the timid beauty his.
As time went on, something was bound to go wrong. One day, Zhong Chichi learned Cheng Muyuan's identity and fled in the middle of the night.
That night, Cheng Muyuan stared in the direction Zhong Chichi had run. It didn't matter if his timid, frightened wife had run away. He could just catch her and bring her back...
