After My Fiancé Lost His Memory

Jiang Sui was an orphan whose life was worth less than a blade of grass. Gravely ill, she had little time left. On the snowy night when she was dying, the young Wei Yuan happened to pass by. His dark eyes rested on her with pity. Wei Yuan took her home. In the years that followed, he tested medicines on himself to cure her illness, taught her to read, write, and understand people and the world, and helped her buy a home and land so she could make a life of her own. Jiang Sui loved Wei Yuan. He was a young man with a noble cause, who spent half his life fighting bloody battles. He was the great hero who rescued her and the people from hardship. So when time passed and Wei Yuan was gravely injured and lost his memory, forgetting that he had once loved her and become engaged to her, she never resented him, even when he broke all ties with her because he loved someone else. Every year, she still prayed for her benefactor's safety, happiness, and good fortune. And when Wei Yuan was accused of treason for trying to save the woman he loved, she spent her entire fortune to rescue him from prison and torture. She stayed by Wei Yuan through the hardest days of his life, and was even willing to risk her own life to save the woman he loved. The day Jiang Sui died, snow was falling heavily too. The difference was that the young man she loved was lost in the joy of seeing his beloved return from the dead. He would never take her home again. * The people, the realm, and his sense of duty were shackles that bound Wei Yuan. He had devoted himself to them all his life and been framed by villains. He had done right by many people, but wronged the one person who loved him most: Jiang Sui. Fortunately, fate took pity on him and gave him another chance at life. But the young woman who should have been his, according to his memories, had already married someone else. He found a way to abduct Jiang Sui, and made himself endure, one by one, the hardships she had suffered in her previous life. Wei Yuan knelt on the ground, his eyes red-rimmed. “Do you still hate me?” The young woman smiled gently. “I never hated you.” “I just don’t love you anymore.” 1. A melodramatic, bittersweet, angst-heavy romance. The heroine is no self-sacrificing saint, and the blurb doesn't tell the whole story. I'm not great at blurbs, so give it a couple of chapters. The heroine gives up on him starting in Chapter 13. He'll suffer as much as she does, and if you don't believe it, check out my older novels. Wei Yuan goes too far early on, so he gets his just desserts trying to win her back, and failing. 2. Wei Yuan's memory loss isn't straightforward, and the other woman isn't a jealous female rival. Wei Yuan loves only the heroine, from beginning to end. 3. No fantasy or supernatural elements. It fits the historical romance genre. Upcoming novel: Falling for the Untouchable. If you're interested, please add it to your collection. Bai Wan is an insignificant background character destined to be cannon fodder in a novel. Cowardly and dull, of low birth, and neither talented nor beautiful: that's how others see Bai Wan. In the original story, she marries up and becomes the wife of Prince Wei, who treasures her. She lives a happy life. That would have been the best ending for the woman she used to be. But the Bai Wan she is now wants something else. At a flower-viewing gathering, she catches sight of the dazzling, spirited Crown Prince from afar, and falls in love. The Crown Prince is upright, disciplined, and virtuous, a bright moon high in the heavens. The thought of him spending his life with another woman makes Bai Wan go mad with jealousy. * Three months later, a major incident shook the capital: the Crown Prince vanished without a trace. At the same time, a concubine-born daughter of the Bai family died of illness. She was so insignificant that no one paid attention, apart from Prince Wei, who mourned her deeply. * Xie Fusheng was austere and desireless, absorbed in government affairs. All he wanted in life was for the people of Great Zhao to stop being displaced and to live in peace and prosperity. Then Bai Wan appeared and completely destroyed the life he had planned. She was obsessive, malicious, and quite mad. Because she loved him, she kidnapped him and held him captive in a remote village, forcing him to marry her. That miserable life lasted two years. Just as he was getting used to it, the royal family found him, and the madwoman was thrown into prison and tortured, just as he had hoped. He wrote the imperial edict himself. As he listened to the eunuch vividly describe Bai Wan's horrific state in prison, Xie Fusheng changed her sentence from being cut to pieces to death by beheading, then changed it again to death by poisoned wine, so her body would be left intact. Xie Fusheng knew Bai Wan was mentally ill, but still went to see her before she died. Covered in wounds, she looked at him without a trace of her former tender affection, cursed him to die a horrible death, and then drank the poison without hesitation. Xie Fusheng thought it was laughable. But when he actually saw Bai Wan die in agony, he felt no satisfaction at having avenged himself, nor any sense of relief. * Years later, Xie Fusheng ascended the throne, still without choosing consorts or appointing an empress. Then, at a palace banquet, he saw the wife of Prince Wei, and his reason crumbled completely. This woman, whom he had once sworn to regard as a nightmare and whose flesh he had wanted to devour, was also his late wife, the one he now longed for with all his heart. A dark story. The heroine is genuinely ill. Theme: Flowers bloom and fade in their own time; encounters and reunions are never something we can plan for
