The Traitor's Wife

[Female lead with amnesia] [The emperor steals his minister's wife] [An old flame pursues his wife] Jiang Lanwu was an orphan taken in by the governor and his wife. After Runzhou was pacified, she was betrothed to become a bride of the Cui family. Her husband was a noble and bright man. After their marriage, they lived in harmony, treating each other with tenderness and respect. Who could have guessed that an imperial examination fraud case would land her husband in prison under false charges? Awu ran about everywhere seeking help, but to no avail. She could only watch as her husband was exiled a thousand miles away, while his uncles drove her out of their home. Just as she was at her wit's end, a nobleman happened to pass by and took her and her mother-in-law in. In return, however, she had to go and serve another nobleman. Her benefactor said that if she served the nobleman well, her husband might still have a chance at survival. The emperor had countless women. Once her husband returned after the amnesty, she could still be Madam Jiang. Late at night in the imperial retreat, after bathing, the beauty let her long hair fall loose and wore only a thin veil as she presented the emperor with the letter of appeal written in her husband's blood. But the emperor did not hurry to read it. The beauty lifted her delicate face, revealing a vision of breathtaking beauty. "I've long heard that your beauty is unmatched in all the world. Now that I've seen you, I know the rumors were true." She stared back in bewilderment, only to see the man's gaze darken with barely contained anger. "Awu, do you really think you could make me search for you this long?" * She couldn't remember when she had crossed paths with the most powerful man in the world, but the emperor had never forgotten her. [Male lead's perspective] In Prince Jin's eyes, Awu was the gentlest palace attendant, with eyes only for him. He never imagined that, amid the chaos of war and surrounded by ravenous predators, she would really dare to flee the army, only to become someone else's bride. When they met again, she sweetly called another man her husband. * If she's forgotten, then he'll just make her remember. Reader's guide: No romantic feelings while the relationship is ongoing.
