The crafty old fox of a prime minister × his troublesome, willful little wife
Gu Shihuan and Zhu Changjun have been married for three years. They constantly clash and can't stand one another, and now it looks like divorce is imminent.
Then, all of a sudden, Gu Shihuan lost her memory.
She changed completely, spending all day causing trouble around the residence: riding horses, playing ball, admiring flowers, walking the dog, chasing fireflies, swinging on the swings, and dressing herself up in all kinds of gaudy finery.
Zhu Changjun: A new approach???
One day, Gu Shihuan tore the bird's head off the treasured painting Cranes Crying at the Moon and used it as a tile in a game of mahjong. Zhu Changjun flew into a rage and pinned her against a corridor pillar. "Gu Shihuan, are you ever going to stop?!"
Gu Shihuan's eyes welled with tears from the pain, and she gazed at him with a pitiful look.
Zhu Changjun: ...???
The people of Lin'an had been watching this couple's charade for ages, waiting for the day they'd fall out. Now their conflict was escalating, and divorce seemed imminent.
But then, one day, Prime Minister Zhu carefully helped his pregnant wife out of the house.

A cool and aloof Jiangnan beauty × a capital playboy who says one thing but means another
Su Jinyan, a Jiangnan beauty with an intoxicating fragrance and peerless looks, was sent a thousand miles away by her family to marry for political advantage and restore their standing at court. Her intended was Yuchi Jin, heir to the Duke of Jing's household, renowned in the capital for his outstanding bearing.
It didn't matter. Whoever she married, she was still getting married. She'd make the best of it.
Yuchi Jin had little regard for marrying a daughter of a fallen clan. Fortunately, she was quite pretty. It didn't matter to him either. Whoever he married, he was still getting married. She'd simply be one more person in his household.
Young and unfamiliar with love, he was always crossing her boundaries, convinced she would keep putting up with it for her family's sake.
Until one day, he brought home his cousin, who had just lost both her parents, and told Su Jinyan he planned to take her as a secondary wife.
She smiled gently and agreed.
At the time, it had seemed like nothing out of the ordinary.
Later, she left him a divorce letter and disappeared.

Scene One:
Yuchi Jin searched for Su Jinyan for a long time. At last, he heard that a wealthy businesswoman in Jiangnan was holding a grand matchmaking event.
Red-eyed, he stormed in, only to hear the matchmaker say, "Lady Su is clever and capable, but her husband died young. She's had such a tragic life."
Yuchi Jin's face darkened. "Take my son and marry someone else? Not a chance!"
Su Jinyan's expression was calm. "You got it wrong. I'm looking for a live-in son-in-law!"
Scene Two:
Everyone in the capital knew that the Minister of Justice was afraid of his wife.
At a gathering with his colleagues one day, everyone teased him about it. After a little wine, Yuchi Jin protested helplessly, "Nonsense. My wife is as meek as a mouse around a cat whenever she sees me."
As soon as he finished speaking, he caught sight of Su Jinyan standing in the doorway.
After the gathering, Lord Yuchi meekly took his bedding and went to sleep in the study.
