The Amnesiac Wife Is Hiding Her White Moonlight

"Please support my new novel by adding it to your reading list!"

---Story Blurb---

After an accident, Shi Heng lost all her memories. They told her she was Lu Jianlan, and that she had a fiance named Liu Shu.

Her future husband was handsome and treated her well. Though he was an overlooked concubine-born son, he was a brilliant student. First, she'd be the wife of a scholar, then the wife of a successful candidate in the provincial exams. She was thrilled.

What she didn't know was that Liu Shu had been reborn. Beneath his flawless exterior was a heart colder than anyone else's.

*

Born low and driven by ambition, Liu Shu had climbed step by step until he stood at the pinnacle of power. Then he was suddenly reborn at the moment he was being forced to take his younger brother's place and fulfill a marriage contract.

In his previous life, he had refused to the death and had never even met the Lu family daughter.

Remembering the meal she had once given him, this time he decided to lift her veil.

She was just a woman fated to die young. He could marry her, no problem. He didn't think she'd have any effect on him. Just as in his previous life, he would steadily gain power, and later marry another suitable, noble, and capable wife.

But... plans are made to be broken.

He believed those damned sweet words, only to discover that the sincere, passionate, and wholehearted love he received wasn't really meant for him. In the memories she had lost, it belonged to another man.

They had grown up together, shared the same interests, and already pledged themselves to each other.

Faced with one surprise after another, Liu Shu was taking it all in stride.

*

When all the mysteries were finally revealed...

Shi Heng: "You've been lying to me this whole time, haven't you? Then don't trouble yourself. I'll divorce you today, Liu Shu. I don't want you anymore!"

Liu Shu: "Heng'er, you were the one who started this. Whether you're Lu Jianlan or Shi Heng, Heaven made me lift your veil, so you're destined to be mine."

[In short, this is the story of a scheming minister who is reborn and only then realizes how wonderful she is.]

Tips:

1. The male lead is reborn. In his previous life, he had a wife and concubines and loved only power. He's thick-skinned and ruthless, and early on in this life he's a real jerk to the heroine. Seriously, a huge jerk. The heroine is sweet and gentle, but strong.

2. In his previous life, the male lead's marriage to his second wife was a political alliance, with no romantic entanglements. The only woman he loved was the heroine. She's the only one for him in this life, too, so read with confidence.

3. The heroine and the hero both go through painful times, and there's also an amnesia plot. The author is a sucker for this stuff. Lately I've been craving angsty, swoony, and thrilling romances, but couldn't find one to my taste, so I'm writing my own.

4. No historical research whatsoever. The author reserves the right to explain the setting however she likes. Happy ending.

---Coming Soon: The Nobleman's Kept Woman---

To stay alive, Qing Yi changed her name and hid in the Bailan House, where she became an unremarkable zither player.

At a lavish banquet full of singing and dancing, amid the clamor of raised cups and conversation, only Chu He noticed the jade-like beauty in the corner, illuminated by candlelight.

After listening to her song, he coolly looked away. So what if she was beautiful? She was just another woman who used her looks to seduce men.

But perhaps that woman had learned the art of seduction, because her pale face kept appearing in Chu He's dreams from then on.

When they met again, he sat tall on horseback while she tumbled through the rain to his feet, disheveled. Clinging to him like a drowning woman to a lifeline, she begged, "Please, save me. As long as you don't let those people take me away, I'll give you anything."

"What can you give me besides yourself?"

Qing Yi's face paled. She raised her head and answered firmly, "As long as you keep your promise, my lord."

"War is coming. I need an heir."

"All right."

Chu He thought that if it were her, perhaps their child would be likable.

After the new emperor ascended the throne, he issued a proclamation throughout the land, offering a thousand gold pieces for the return of his younger sister, Princess Jingyi, lost amid the chaos of war.

After a great fire, a humble kept woman disappeared from Fu'an Lane, and the palace welcomed back the emperor's most beloved jewel.

Five years later, when Chu He returned to the capital, he turned down everyone who tried to arrange a marriage for him. "I already have a wife."

Then, at a flower-viewing banquet, he looked up and saw the woman before him. Who else could it be but his Wanwan? But everyone around her called her Her Highness the Princess, and she already had a consort by her side.

*The male lead is Chu He. He is devoted to the heroine in both body and heart. Happy ending.

---Coming Soon: The Female Shadow Guard---

Dian Yu transmigrated into the body of a shadow guard. Carefully slacking off at this high-risk job, she hoped to survive until the day she could retire in peace.

Perhaps she was too good at staying alive, because on the journey to escort Young Master Luan Yi as a hostage in another state, she became the only assassin left alive.

"You abandoned me? You dared betray me? Who bribed you?" Luan Yi was shocked and furious.

Now's the time to leave. Dian Yu rolled her eyes and snapped, "I've put up with that stuck-up, arrogant attitude of yours for ages. And your temper is awful. Do you think there's even one thing about you that people could like?"

"I've wanted to tell you this for ages. I quit. I'm done. Get it?" Saying it made her feel as if all her frustration had vanished, leaving her refreshed and invigorated.

But the more satisfying it felt to say, the more painful the face-slapping was. In the end, she was forced to keep surviving in that job.

When Young Master Yi returned from his time as a hostage and took the throne, he issued two decrees. The first was to welcome Miss Jiang as his empress. The second was to make a maid by his side his secondary consort.

The first was just as everyone had expected. The second sparked endless speculation. Many said the king must be rewarding the maid for her steadfast loyalty while they were in the enemy state.

"I know you're proud and unwilling to live beneath others. From now on, you'll be my secondary consort, no longer a servant. Does that put your mind at ease?"

The newly appointed secondary consort stomped on the imperial decree and stabbed the king.

She laughed coldly. "A secondary consort? Whoever takes that title is a dog."

She thought they were soulmates, but he turned around and went to marry his white moonlight. All she could think was, what rotten luck.

"I don't need your shitty gratitude. I just want the reward you promised me." She glanced at him sidelong. "What? Can't Young Master Yi pay up, so you're trying to get out of it by giving me the title of secondary consort?"
