[Sweet, flirtatious, playful drama queen x aloof, abstinent powerful minister]
[Sweet romance | Happy ending | One-on-one | Marriage first, love later]
Everyone in Shengjing knew that the Marquis's wife, Gu Yao, and Xie Yu, Marquis of Lin'an, were an unhappy couple, together in name only.
Everyone thought they'd divorce within three years. No one expected that one day, while out hunting, the marquis's wife would fall and injure her head.
When she woke, her cheeks were flushed. Shyly, she turned to the Marquis of Lin'an beside her and called him "Dear Xie."
Her voice was soft and lilting, seemingly filled with boundless affection. Everyone present was so shocked they nearly lost their eyesight.
After hitting her head, Gu Yao remembered only that she was the heroine of various storybooks and had a loving husband who was utterly devoted to her.
The first time, she was a bewitching imperial consort who brought ruin to the kingdom.
Gu Yao looked at the man standing beside her bed, asking after her condition. She vaguely recalled that she had tried to leave him, which was why she'd ended up like this. With tears in her eyes, she complained, "Sob, Dear Xie, my head hurts. Yaoyao will never leave you again. But... with things as they are between us, won't His Majesty really blame us? How about we elope?"
Xie Yu: ?!
The second time, she was a sweet childhood friend who had secretly fallen in love.
The third time, she was a glamorous courtesan.
Then one day, while Gu Yao was still playing the role of a vain merchant's daughter, her memories returned.
She saw that the man she remembered as stiff and dull had sent her a pile of gifts.
Then he came over, wrapped an arm around her waist, and kissed her red lips. His voice low and husky, he asked, "My lady, is this enough?"
The two of them had already drafted divorce papers. Xie Yu had also promised that, after three years, they could divorce on the grounds that they had no children.
At first, seeing Gu Yao injured and unable to remember their past, Xie Yu was at his wit's end.
He could handle military strategy and political debate with ease, but he was utterly helpless when it came to a woman who loved to cry and put on an act. His only solution was to avoid her.
But he never imagined that his amnesiac wife would be... like this.
He'd miscalculated.
