After Losing My Memory, I Mistook the Grand Secretary for My Husband

The people of Lin'an ask themselves every day: "Did the Yan family's young lady manage to win over Lord Lu today?" "No. Let's check again later." That's right. Everyone in Lin'an has heard about the love and hate between the Grand Secretary and the heiress to the richest family. Their twists and turns are even more exciting than the stories in popular fiction. In reality, though, Yan Yi had only met Lu Xu three times. The first time, she went to a temple to pray for blessings. When she turned around, she saw him standing amid the incense smoke and green mist, looking travel-worn, his deep black eyes fixed on her. Feeling flustered, she bluffed and threatened him at once. "What are you looking at? Keep staring and I'll get someone to beat you up!" In the tranquil grounds of the temple, one gave him a "fierce" glare while the other made a brazen threat. Naturally, they parted on bad terms. The second time was two months later. By then, rumors were everywhere that the Yan family's young lady was deeply in love with Grand Secretary Lu but couldn't have him, so she had gone to his door to corner him. But that day, the two merely passed each other. At most, Yan Yi was so annoyed that she turned around and glared at him fiercely. The third time barely counted as a proper meeting. During the Lantern Festival, Yan Yi went out with her older brother. For some reason, she spotted him across the bustling crowd, high up in a restaurant. He was smiling in a way that sent chills down her spine, so she got annoyed and made a face at him. Not long afterward, an accident left Yan Yi with a head injury and muddled memories. She mistook the plot of a story she had read before the accident for reality. The first thing she did after waking up was find Lu Xu and plant a big kiss on his cheek. "Husband, I missed you." A teaser for The Golden Brazier's Flame In the second year of Wending, the highly esteemed Duke Rong was suddenly accused of treason. It was said that Shen Qianxing, Lieutenant General of the Imperial Guard, had personally led his men to catch him in the act. That night, the Duke of Rong's manor was drenched in blood. Screams pierced the sky, and afterward, the entire estate was burned to the ground. The duke's eldest daughter, the former empress, ended her life with a white silk cord. His eldest son, a mighty general of the Imperial Guard, fell beneath a storm of arrows, his face unrecognizable. As for the duke's younger son and daughter, no one ever found them. Most likely, they had been reduced to ashes in the fire. In the months that followed, everyone with even the slightest connection to the Duke of Rong's household was implicated. The ending was so tragic that even three years later, the people still spoke of it only in hushed tones. No one dared live within several miles of the former manor, afraid that mournful cries would haunt their dreams and leave them trembling through the night. Yunyao was the youngest child of the Duke of Rong, and the sole survivor of that upheaval. Three years later, she returned to the capital, changed her appearance, took her mother's surname, and renamed herself Qi Ranjun. After countless hardships, she finally made her way into the imperial city. She rose from an inconspicuous maid to the Hall of Supreme Harmony. But just as she finally had the chance to kill her enemy with her own hands, a familiar figure blocked her path: Shen Qianxing, whose face was more loathsome than that of the vengeful ghost who had come to claim her three years ago. He was also The handsome young man who had once promised, on a night when gentle breezes rippled the water and the stars glittered across the sky, to travel the world with her.
