Searching for My Husband

When Song Qingning was fifteen, she fished a half-dead man out of a river.

He was as elegant as a jade tree, and even dressed in coarse hemp, his extraordinary bearing shone through. But he had lost his memory.

Half a year passed, and no one came looking for him. Song Qingning took him to the local authorities, but they couldn't help.

A year went by, and still no word came from the authorities.

Another half year passed. The Song family's daughter married the amnesiac man, only for him to disappear three months into their marriage.

At seventeen, Song Qingning gave birth to their child and raised the baby alone. She lived in the thatched hut where they had wed, through wind and rain, hoping he would come back.

Four years passed. Their child was old enough to understand a little, so Song Qingning steeled herself and set out with her son to find her husband.

On the first attempt, her son fell ill, and they returned home.

On the second attempt, her son fell ill again, and they returned home.

On the third attempt, Song Qingning went alone.

When she first arrived in the capital, the Prince of Yu, with his sharp brows, bright eyes, and distinguished bearing, looked just like her husband.

Duan Xuan had grown up in the capital. One day, a country girl suddenly appeared, claiming to be his first wife.

Song Qingning: When you asked for my hand, you swore you would never let me shed a single tear. Have you forgotten?

Duan Xuan's smile stiffened. He really didn't remember. When had he ever said anything so embarrassing?

Song Qingning: On our wedding day, you told me no woman in the world was even a fraction as beautiful as I am. Have you forgotten?

Duan Xuan was thoroughly embarrassed. How could he have said something like that?

Song Qingning: Then you should at least remember the birthmark on your lower back, right?

Guard: Is this why you sneaked into the prince's bath? Guards, drag her away!
