The Villainous Commandery Princess Tries to Win Back Her Husband, but Loses Her Memory Along the Way

[Villainous Tsundere Young Princess x A Pretentious Ice-Queen Type with Ten Thousand Schemes]

Xie Yao, Princess of Pingyang, is spoiled, domineering, and arrogant. Her reputation is so terrible that she has passed the usual age for betrothal, yet no one has come to ask for her hand.

The Northern Defender King loves his daughter more than life itself and has declared that he will find his precious only daughter the finest husband in the world.

The infamous father and daughter set their sights on Xiao Shijin, heir to the Duke of Jin.

He is so handsome that no one in the world can compare. Xie Yao points at him with her riding crop on the main street. "That's the one!"

She keeps arranging "chance" encounters with Xiao Shijin, from the academy north of the city to the willow grove in the south. When he finally turns to look at her, she smiles and says, "See? We must be fated to meet."

The refined young gentleman has actually been chosen by Princess Pingyang. Plenty of people lament his misfortune, but Xiao Shijin himself seems utterly unmoved.

At a palace banquet, the Chancellor's daughter dances so beautifully that the whole city is captivated, then shyly looks toward Xiao Shijin.

The Northern Defender King goes on high alert and cuts in, asking the Emperor to grant Xie Yao and Xiao Shijin a marriage decree on the spot.

Triumphant, Xie Yao gives the talented Chancellor's daughter, who has never gotten along with her, a meaningful, challenging look. On the way home, she gets her comeuppance.

She hits her head.

When she opens her eyes again, she doesn't even recognize her own father.

With her wedding approaching, Xie Yao sneaks out again and bumps into an unfamiliar gentleman at a street corner.

After trading barbs for a while, Xie Yao loses her temper and asks him, "Which family's young master are you?"

On their wedding night, the bridal fan breaks, and they gaze into each other's eyes. Xie Yao stares wide-eyed.

The "unfamiliar gentleman" looks at her shocked expression, then smiles as if a thought has just occurred to him.

"I'm your husband."

The Duke of Jin's estate is in chaos every day after the young master gets married.

The heir's courtyard has been transformed: solo martial arts practice by day, duets reciting stories by night.

Every now and then, a servant passing by can hear the Princess of Pingyang cracking her whip.

Good heavens, these newlyweds may quarrel in bed and make up afterward, but what if they actually start fighting?

Xie Yao: "I want something sweet."

"You shouldn't eat too many pastries."

"Then I want something spicy!"

"You were complaining about feeling unwell just yesterday."

She snaps, "Even my father doesn't try to control me!"

He just smiles. "That's because I'm not your father."

Xie Yao cannot make head or tail of it.

How did she ever fall for this black-hearted white lotus before she lost her memory? That couldn't have been her!

Reader's Guide:

1. The heroine is direct early on, tsundere later, and eventually regains her memories. The hero is a white-cut-black type, scheming from head to toe.

2. A sweet story about doting on each other. One-on-one romance, both leads are sexually inexperienced, happy ending. The author only writes heroes with impeccable gentlemanly conduct.

3. An alternate setting, very loosely based on history. Everything serves the sweet romance.

Message: Even when all seems lost, a new path can still open up.
