The blurb may still change, but I'll post it for now
[Charming, bright female lead who's always up to something] × [A truly miserable young man whom everyone wants to hurt]
Yingchuan Prince Fatan, the beloved concubine's son and a noble of royal blood, once knelt outside the Golden Hall for a long time to refuse a marriage to Yuan Yi, all so he could marry his first love and bring her into his princely residence. Unfortunately, his first love became the Crown Prince's secondary consort, and Fatan was forced into the bridal chamber to marry Yuan Yi, the daughter of a powerful minister.
On their wedding day, he ran away.
Yuan Yi knew that if he left, he would never become emperor.
She also knew that his life would be glorious, yet end in tragedy. He would work himself to the bone and die unjustly, leaving nothing behind but an unmarked grave.
But she still wanted to save this young prince, who would one day become the backbone of his country.
A year later, Yuan Yi accompanied Fatan, Prince of Yingchuan, whose army had been defeated and whose mother's family had been exiled, to guard the imperial tombs at Wansui Mountain. She also followed him to his fief to raise a rebellion, helping him guard against attacks from all sides. She had thought she could at least keep him alive, but for the sake of his first love, he returned to the palace alone.
Yuan Yi sighed. She'd been making a fool of herself.
She faked her death and left for her hometown, where she rode a camel and showed lost travelers the way.
Yuan Yi didn't know that Fatan had risked his life alone for her.
He was ambushed and lost his memory. He asked everyone he met, "Have you seen her? She has a tiny red mole between her eyebrows, and dimples when she smiles..."
People asked him who she was to him, what her name was, and where she came from.
Fatan only said she was his wife.
He knew nothing else.
Later, he met her in the sea of yellow sand. He clutched her sheer veil, his eyes red at the corners.
Looking down at him, she smiled and pried his hand away. "My lord, you've mistaken me for someone else."
High-drama warning:
1. The male lead is a real jerk, but he's also truly miserable.
2. The female lead is from the desert.
3. Screenshot saved.
Core message: Strive to embrace the sun
