Novel blurb:
Ruan Yuyan, the most beautiful woman in the capital, accidentally fell into the water and lost her memory. When she awoke, she had forgotten her past, remembering only that she had a handsome and noble-looking fiance.
But she couldn't remember who he was.
Once the news spread, a peerlessly handsome young man barged into the Ruan residence. His eyes red, he looked at her pitifully. "Yuyan, how could you forget me?"
The young man was His Highness Prince Jin, Rong Huan. He told Ruan Yuyan that he was the fiance she'd forgotten.
Ruan Yuyan looked up at the handsome young man before her. Just seeing his face made her heart race. She nodded, believed him, and prepared to fulfill their engagement.
But when she took Rong Huan to meet her father, her usually stern father visibly paled, while her gentle mother couldn't hide her surprise.
They asked her, "Yuyan, are you sure you want to marry His Highness Prince Jin? You won't regret it?"
Ruan Yuyan looked back at Rong Huan in confusion.
Rong Huan looked guilty. "We'd just had a fight before you fell into the water. You angrily said you wanted to break off our engagement. It was all my fault."
Ruan Yuyan understood.
Later, when Ruan Yuyan's old friends heard the news and came to advise her to think it over carefully,
Rong Huan looked aggrieved. "They've never liked me."
Ruan Yuyan felt sorry for him.
Later still, when Gu Sheng, the newly appointed top scorer in the imperial examinations, came to her door and said that he was her real fiance,
Rong Huan looked disgusted. "Yuyan, don't let him fool you. His cousin, who's staying at his house, is already carrying his child. How could you ever fall for a man like that?"
Ruan Yuyan agreed.
Until...
On the eve of her wedding, that persistent top scorer barged in and knocked her to the ground, making her hit her head. When she awoke, all her memories had returned.
Ruan Yuyan: As if a racing heart means you're in love! Back then, I was clearly furious at Rong Huan's despicable face, which I still remembered hating even after losing my memory!
*
Rong Huan had loved the adorable, sweet-looking Ruan Yuyan since childhood. But he had a sharp tongue. Every time he tried to win her over, he ended up making the little girl cry and say she hated him.
Rong Huan thought it wouldn't be so bad if the two of them spent their whole lives bickering like that, until he heard that the Ruan family had taken an interest in Gu Sheng, a scholar from a humble family, and planned to betroth Ruan Yuyan to him.
But Gu Sheng wasn't a good man either. He had a beloved cousin in his heart, yet he still went after Ruan Yuyan.
Rong Huan immediately made an elaborate plan and exposed Gu Sheng's true nature in front of Ruan Yuyan. He just never expected her to have an accident as a result. After he rescued her from the water, she lost her memory and remembered only that she had a fiance.
A fiance?
Rong Huan thought that title sounded perfect for him.
A few tips:
1. A sweet, melodramatic romance with the classic amnesia trope.
2. Before the heroine lost her memory, the leads were sworn enemies.
3. More to come~
