Yuan Qiao was left on a mountaintop to keep watch while her elder sister secretly met her lover. By chance, she and Pei Zhao, her father's political enemy, fell off a cliff together.
The good news: They were rescued.
The bad news: She was in the Pei residence.
Half the officials at court owed their careers to the Pei family. They were people no one dared to cross.
And Pei Zhao had reached the highest ranks of government at a young age. He was also the most notorious ruthless figure among the younger generation of the Pei family.
They said he was ill-tempered and merciless, and that anyone who opposed him was tortured to death.
But the Yuan family, young and old, seemed determined to court disaster...
Her father was an upright man who would bang his head against a pillar to prove his resolve at the drop of a hat. “I would rather die than serve that Pei scoundrel!”
When they heard the Emperor had arranged a marriage between the Pei and Yuan families, her elder sister wailed and threatened to elope. “How can I marry a brute when my cousin is so much better?”
Thinking of this, Yuan Qiao closed her eyes. After all, she was one of the Yuans.
Falling into Pei Zhao's hands, she might as well have died when she fell off the cliff.
With a heart full of despair, Yuan Qiao waited for Pei Zhao to wake up and torture her. Instead, she heard that he had hit his head and lost his memory.
Inside the tent, the man slowly sat up. His imposing presence and sharp, hawklike gaze pierced straight through the curtains and into Yuan Qiao's heart.
Before he could speak, tears were already spilling from Yuan Qiao's eyes, falling in fat drops onto the back of Pei Zhao's veined hand.
“Husband, don't tell me you've forgotten me too? I'm your beloved, the Qiao Qiao you always said you loved and begged to marry!”

Extra scene:
Before long, all kinds of unbelievable stories about Pei Zhao were circulating around the Pei residence.
Onlookers: “Oh my goodness, Minister Pei actually apologizes first, and even kneels on the bed board!”
Yuan Qiao: “Mm, of course he does.”
Onlookers: “Does Minister Pei really love his wife so much that he can't bear to let her out of his sight?”
Yuan Qiao: “Oh, absolutely.”
Pei Zhao, passing by, twitched at the corner of his mouth. I lost my memory, not my mind.
Later, the guards sent to investigate Yuan Qiao's background hurried back to the Pei residence, eager to expose all her lies.
They were determined to restore their master's image as a cool-headed, wise, and lofty minister.
But the words had barely reached their lips when they saw with their own eyes the man kneeling on the bed board and apologizing, begging the young Lady Yuan not to leave. Their cool... cool-headed, wise, lofty... lofty minister, well... had really lost his mind.
