Dead wife returns / Arrogant powerful official loves fiercely / He thinks his wife loves him, but she doesn't, and then he loses it
After the old woman who raised her in the countryside dies, Fang Xinian takes a divorce agreement and goes to the capital to seek out her relatives. Because she looks like the deceased wife of the King of Jin's residence, she is seized and made to stand in as his dead wife.
This king is a powerful noble with a reach that covers the heavens. He does whatever he wants, whenever he wants, and is extremely cruel and arrogant. The emperor is already wary of him, and it will take just one more step for his entire household to be executed.
Fang Xinian thinks he is likely to die soon. Since they're both unfortunate, she tells him her troubles and begs him to take pity on her and not make her stand in as his wife.
But Guyan Jin is unmoved and continues to do as he pleases.
He gives her a hundred taels of gold and bolts of silk, and builds the legendary House of Gold for her, making the news spread throughout Chang'an.
Fang Xinian waits anxiously for the imperial court to punish him.
One day passes.
A second day passes.
Why hasn't his household been executed yet?
In the end, Guyan Jin smiles and says, "You've gone to a lot of trouble, Madam."
At first, Guyan Jin loathes political marriages between noble families, so he enters into a fake marriage with Fang Xinian, a woman from a humble household. He never expects her to become infatuated with him.
Guyan Jin finds her troublesome and gives her a letter of divorce. But later, he hears from a subordinate that she died for love, overcome by grief.
When she comes back alive, he learns that she has lost her memory. Guyan Jin doesn't mind protecting her in a different way and giving her a peaceful, happy life.
One rainy day, a gust of wind makes their robes brush against each other, and their fingertips accidentally touch. Guyan Jin stiffens.
He silently rubs his eye, which has something in it, while she gently cups his face. Her fragrance washes over him, and she leans close, her lips near his.
There's no reason a fake marriage can't become real.
Until Fang Xinian finds a suitable match and sends him a wedding invitation.
Only then does Guyan Jin realize that he is not as noble and composed as he imagined. He finds Fang Xinian and backs her up against the edge of a table, trapping her in a tiny space.
"I won't stop you from marrying someone else, but you cannot marry someone else. I won't allow it."
"?"
One day, Fang Xinian hits her head and suddenly regains her memories. Not only does she get wrongly accused of being in love with Guyan Jin, but rumors also spread that she died for him.
She looks down at her swollen belly and feels as though the sky is falling.
That night, Guyan Jin is sent outside with a cold expression, where he spends the whole night in the chilly wind.
A silly, sweet girl v a cold-faced ex-husband who loves doing laundry, a ruthless and aloof powerful official
*The heroine is lazy by nature and has little ambition. If she has the option to enjoy herself, she'll choose that. She's something of a couch potato.
*Both leads are each other's only romantic and sexual partners. The details appear a little later in the story.
