In the first year of Jinghe, the crown prince ascended the throne.

Before long, two rumors spread through the capital.

First, not a single person had seen the new chancellor since he took office.

Second, the beloved young lady of the Duke of Xu's household had gone missing!

That same year, at the Yan residence in Langzhou, a thousand miles away, a new "maid" appeared. She had lost her memory.

At first, Zhizhi had just recovered from a serious illness. To show her gratitude, she volunteered to help clean the study. On her very first day, she broke a white jade vase. Just as she was about to sneak off and cry, a cold voice beside her ordered, "Don't cry."

Later, Zhizhi got curious and accidentally dropped the jade carving a friend had given Yan Pei. Before she could sneak away, the man behind the desk drawled, "You break it and think you can run? Who spoiled you like this?"

His friend thought to himself: Wasn't it you?

Later still, as the young girl approached adulthood, with her graceful figure and stunning beauty, Yan Pei thought: Since she doesn't remember who she is, he might as well keep her for the rest of her life.

But then Zhizhi disappeared.

Looking at the empty room, Yan Pei gave a cold laugh.

Dare to leave without saying goodbye? Fine. You've gotten bold.

Two months later, inside a carriage belonging to the Duke of Xu's household in Shengjing.

Xu Nianzhi looked at the person before her, first stunned, then giving a little huff. "Thank you, Chancellor, for looking after me these past two years. I've paid you back in full for everything I broke. From now on, we owe each other nothing."

Owe each other nothing?

Yan Pei was so furious he actually laughed. Then he bent down and kissed the red lips he'd long been yearning for, before murmuring hoarsely, "All I want is you."
