[Beautiful Minister's Wife x Fake Gentle and Refined, Actually a Lunatic Prince]
After a war, Qin Qi goes from being the pampered young lady of the Northwest Marquis's household to an orphan with no one to turn to.
To comfort the loyal minister who died in battle, the emperor betroths her as the legitimate wife of the Marquis of Ning'an.
When her three-year mourning period ends, the husband she's never met comes to take her back to the capital for their wedding night.
That day, Qin Qi is dressed in mourning white, tears glistening at the corners of her eyes. Frail and helpless, yet captivating in her own way, she gives a slight curtsy to the handsome, noble man who has come from the capital.
"My lord."
She doesn't know that the charming way she lowers her head makes the impossibly noble man greedy for her from that moment on.
When she returns to the capital, Qin Qi learns that this man is not the Marquis of Anning, but the Crown Prince himself.

On the eve of their wedding night, Qin Qi encounters bandits in the mountains and disappears without a trace.
Yet no one knows that, that very night, within the warm curtains of the Eastern Palace, the Crown Prince hides the darkness in his eyes and gently caresses the young woman's face.
"Your name is Qiqi. You're a palace maid serving in the Eastern Palace. Remember that, all right?"
The young woman nods obediently.
Timidly, she moves in front of the man, her pale, delicate fingers trembling as they reach for his belt...
Later, she regains all her memories.
That night, with the lights flickering and the gauze curtains swaying, the woman he thought was weak raises a dagger and plunges it into his chest...

The Crown Prince Zhu Yu has enjoyed a smooth life from beginning to end. He was born the Crown Prince, a member of the imperial family. His only setback is Qin Qi.
He appears gentle and refined, smiling warmly at everyone, but in truth he is cold-hearted, callous, dark, and obsessive.
She mistakes him for the Marquis of Anning, and he goes along with it, concealing his real identity and naturally taking on the role of her husband.
But she still dares to turn around and spend her wedding night with that man?
P.S.:
1. Both leads are sexually inexperienced; happy ending.
2. The male lead is not a good person. He takes what he wants by force and has no moral limits.
3. The female lead loses her memory for a while, but later regains it. The male lead will have to suffer to win her back. Let him burn.
