A Handbook for Pampering Your Secret Wife

[One-line summary] She's both the stand-in and the one he never forgot~ [The Male Lead's Version] He Zichu, known as a God of War, discovers a woman who looks exactly like his late wife. He schemes, plans, and goes to every length to make her his. [The Female Lead's Version] Her family has fallen into ruin. To save her father and brothers, Wei Yun blocks the carriage of a powerful official of the court. That day, thunder roars and rain pours, soaking her to the skin. Once the foremost noblewoman in the capital, she sheds her pride and dignity, taking step after step toward He Zichu. The man's dark, shining eyes pass over the young woman. His voice is flat and emotionless. "If you're mine for a day, you'll be mine for life." She answers softly, "Mm." Years later, a new emperor ascends the throne. His harem remains empty, yet one particular female bedchamber attendant by his side is especially favored. Every night, the new emperor retires to his chambers, with the attendant serving him at his side. The next day, when the emperor goes to court, the attendant remains in the palace, rarely seen in public. Then one day, a physician diagnoses a pregnancy. The new emperor announces to all under heaven that Wei Yun, the legitimate daughter of the Wei family, is to be named empress, and promises to cherish her for the rest of her life. [Content Warning] There are plenty of mysteries in this story. What seems to be true at first may not be the whole truth, so please be patient~ [Reading Guide] 1. 95% sweet romance, 5% heartbreak. 2. Both leads are virgins. The reason will be explained in the story. 3. This isn't a traditional concubine story. After the heroine regains her memories, her personality will change. The two souls sometimes switch places, one strong and one weak. 4. The setting is a fictional historical era, not the Ming or Qing dynasty. China's history is vast, and women's status in many dynasties wasn't as depicted on television. Please don't argue about it; it's exhausting. The author bows to you all~ 5. This story is full of sunshine and isn't for people who just want to pick fights. If you provoke me, I'll argue back ten times as hard (a serious and solemn statement~ QAQ). Theme: As long as life goes on, keep striving.
