Lan Ruoyi was born into an aristocratic family, and her fiance was the heir to the Prince of Zhennan.
After her coming-of-age ceremony, the Prince of Zhennan sent the heir's younger half-brother to collect the bride in his place. On the way, she was not only coveted by the younger brother but also attacked by bandits. Fortunately, the heir appeared in time to rescue her.
Unlike the rumors that called him cold and ruthless, the heir was gentle, considerate, and noble, a true gentleman.
At first, Lan Ruoyi thought she had found a fine husband and that the rumors could not be trusted. But as she traveled farther and farther from her homeland and finally entered the northern kingdom, she understood that her rescuer wasn't the heir at all. He was the crown prince of the enemy nation, a man who killed without blinking.
-
Huan Jin first met Lan Ruoyi in the southern kingdom, after he had secretly attacked his opponent, the heir to the Prince of Zhennan, and sent him plunging off a cliff, his fate unknown.
He toyed with the jade pendant the heir had dropped before falling. When he looked up, he saw a young woman running toward him in a panic. The moment she saw the pendant in his hand, her bright, watery eyes and soft voice implored him: “My lord, save me.”
A single glance was enough to make his heart, silent for years, race.
He used the most despicable means to impersonate another man and take her all the way back to his own kingdom.
When the truth was finally uncovered, Lan Ruoyi turned to flee. He sat astride a tall steed, smiling faintly, his casual voice touched with a cold menace. “Qingqing, where do you think you're running?”
Note:
1. Coercive love, both leads are each other's first and only partners.
2. The male lead seems gentle and kind, but is actually unhinged. Happy ending.

The two young masters of the Marquis of Changning's household were twins.
The elder, Pei Ji, traveled far and wide as a youth. His mastery of strategy and statecraft was unparalleled, and he was elegant and distinguished. The younger, Pei Lin, wore fine clothes and rode a jade-adorned horse with red tassels, galloping across the battlefield in splendid attire.
Everyone knew that Pei Lin, the younger son, and Xie Lingjia, the youngest daughter of the Marquis of Guangping, had been childhood sweethearts. Once Xie Lingjia's period of mourning was over, the Marchioness of Changning planned to send a matchmaker to propose.
But just as the proposal was about to be made, Pei Lin was ordered by the emperor to leave the capital on official business. A few days later, news came that he had died. Xie Lingjia was so devastated that she fell gravely ill, and all the doctors said she would not live another half month.
One day, the elder son, Pei Ji, came to visit. Perhaps Xie Lingjia was delirious with fever, for she mistook him for her childhood sweetheart Pei Lin and threw herself into his arms, weeping bitterly. Somehow, that outburst helped her recover from her illness.
The Marchioness of Guangping and the Marchioness of Changning discussed having Pei Ji marry Xie Lingjia. Perhaps a wedding would bring good fortune and save Lingjia's life.
The Marchioness of Changning had watched Xie Lingjia grow up and couldn't bear to see her die young or marry into another family, so she agreed.
After the wedding, Xie Lingjia's life was no longer in danger, but each day she woke later than the last. Her new husband, Pei Ji, gently helped her dress, his fingertips casually brushing the snow-white neck adorned with red plum blossoms. He was tender and attentive, and together they seemed more perfectly matched than any immortal couple in the world.
Until one day, her true childhood sweetheart, Pei Lin, returned to the capital...

The male protagonist is so cool... The female protagonist is like a tool to accompany the performance. It's so miserable...
The male protagonist is really destined. I hope he will stop being a monster and pursue his wife. Otherwise, I will support the female protagonist to stab him a few more times.
When will it become sweet(???????)
When will I regain my memory? I really can't stand the male protagonist.
So pretty! I hope the author can come up with similar themes
A lot of torture for the male protagonist, I hope the female protagonist and the baby are safe!
I hope that the male protagonist will unify the northern and southern countries as soon as possible.
Well, how can I put it, the author's idea is still very good, but the heroine is really hard to like. I really think she is stubborn and pretentious. It would be better to make her not love the hero from the beginning to the end. I would think more highly of her... On the contrary, I admire Ying Niang more. She is truly flesh and blood and thoughtful. It would have been better if she was not given a hand by the Holy Mother in the end. The male protagonist was well portrayed in the early and middle stages, and he looked like a yandere who was strategizing, but in the end he actually gave up the throne, which really made me laugh. The character design collapsed to the Javanese country, and I felt dissatisfied with Lan Huanqing. There are ten or twenty chapters in the middle where I really don't want to see the heroine being pretentious, so the author forgives me. Please keep up the good work!
Giving up the throne... It's hard to say
They are not worried about what will happen if the Northern Kingdom comes to fight, but the people injured in the war between the two countries are all civilians. The thought of a lot of people dying because of the so-called love of the male and female protagonists is unspeakable.
