Moonlight Over the Brocade Palace

The empress, Xie Ruyi, was lovely and radiant, and wholeheartedly adored the aloof Emperor Duan Yu, yet she never fought for his favor.

In the eyes of outsiders, the emperor and empress were perfectly harmonious. But the truth was:

Xie Ruyi: If you like someone else, don't touch me.

Duan Yu: I feel the same way.

Xie Ruyi knew Duan Yu had married her only for the power of her general's family. His heart belonged to another, his own moonlight. Heartbroken, she decided to erase Duan Yu from her heart. An accident gave her what she wished for: she forgot him completely.

But at that moment, Duan Yu was shocked to discover that the woman he had searched for in vain was right in front of him.

Urgent question: Is it too late to win his wife back?

After losing her memory, Xie Ruyi was innocent and adorable. "You made me your empress, so you must really like me, right?"

Duan Yu went along with her misunderstanding. "That's right. My Ruyi is so clever."

From then on, he made steady progress on the road to becoming the perfect husband.

The emperor and empress were blissfully in love every day, making everyone around them envious, until one day Xie Ruyi suddenly remembered everything. She headed for the imperial study with a sharp sword in hand...

...Bonus Scene...

When Xie Ruyi saw the "stick figure" portrait of Duan Yu's moonlight that he had hidden away, she nearly fainted with rage. "Duan Yu, is that what you think I look like?"

No wonder he hadn't recognized her all these years!

Duan Yu calmly produced a jade pendant that had been missing for years. "Ruyi, look what I found in your storeroom."

Xie Ruyi: "Duan Yu, you're finished!"

The little crown prince ran over to plead for him. "Mother, don't make Father kneel on the abacus!"

Later, Duan Yu painted a family portrait. Xie Ruyi rubbed her forehead helplessly. "Our son paints better when he wets the bed than you do when you paint!"
