Blurb One
Xingyi was rescued as a child by the old madam of the Duke of Ying's household. Having lost her memories, she was kindly taken in as a personal maid and given the name Xingyi.
Grateful to the old madam for saving her life, Xingyi serves her faithfully. Still, she hopes that one day she'll regain her memories and find her family.
Blurb Two
The Duke of Ying's household is famed for its loyal heroes. At a young age, the heir, Lu Yichen, followed his father to war. When he returned home for the New Year, he ran into a young woman. Her features were striking, her skin as smooth as jade, and she was exactly his type. When she looked at him with a smile through the snowflakes drifting around them, Lu Yichen felt his heart stir.
So Lu Yichen, who had always been domineering and never denied himself anything, schemed to get her by his side. With a lovely woman to dote on, he became even less willing to let her go.
Lu Yichen hinted at his feelings several times, but she acted as if she didn't notice and repeatedly tried to leave him. In anger, he confined her by his side, intending to win her over in time.

Heroine: He's injured and still acting up. When will he recover so I can return to the old madam's courtyard?
Lu Yichen, heading back to the frontier after the New Year: She can't bear to see me go. She must be unable to live without me.
Heroine: No thanks, I just want a ride. I'm leaving sooner or later.
