At a spring banquet, the Ninth Prince fell in love with Gu Huanyu at first sight and meant to take her by force.
Gu Huanyu asked to go to her maternal grandmother's home to avoid the prince, but her wicked stepmother seized the chance to frame her on the way there.
She fell off a cliff and lost her memory, then was rescued by a young hunter.
.
The young lady was delicate and frail, with tears glistening in her eyes. She couldn't even remember where her home was.
The hunter and his wife were delighted at the sight of her. With looks like hers, if they raised her well for a few years, she would make the perfect wife for their fine eldest son.
Just then, the wood door behind them slammed open. Lu Shuang stood in the doorway, staring straight at the snow-white beauty before him, so transfixed that his eyes couldn't even move. The firewood in his hands fell all over the ground.
.
A noble young lady from a distinguished family had fallen into the countryside. After her accident, Gu Huanyu had injured her head and could no longer remember her own name or age.
By the time she finally remembered, she had already spent a while foolishly calling someone else her dear big brother.
She had even agreed to become his wife.
At first, Lu Shuang regarded the noble young lady who had dropped into his life as a goddess. Even sneaking a glance at her made him feel timid and careful.
Later, his powerful frame blocked her way, and he gripped her struggling wrists tightly. His reddened eyes filled with anguish and pleading. "Sister, don't go back. Stay here in the mountains with me for the rest of your life! Wouldn't that be wonderful?"
.
The Ninth Prince, Murong Yan, endured humiliation for years before killing his father and brothers to seize the throne. He schemed and maneuvered in every direction, and fortunately, in the end, he obtained everything he desired.
Except for her. She was the one thing he could never have.
And another thing he never expected was that the young hunter he once couldn't even be bothered to look at would become his lifelong enemy.
.
The thing Lu Shuang regretted least in his life was saving Gu Huanyu.
The thing he regretted most was also saving Gu Huanyu.
She was the bright moon in the heavens, far beyond his reach. He was the mud on the ground, vile and wretched.
She was too pure, haunting his dreams. He could only claw his way out of the mud, clean his spear and don his armor, sleep on his weapons and steel himself with bitter hardship, until he could seize that moon back with his own hands.

After her family fell on hard times when she was young, Yu Zhao was entrusted to the Wang family and raised in their home.
The Wang family raised her for ten years. To repay their kindness, she turned down Xie Qi's proposal and married a poor scholar instead.
She knew his family was too influential for a poor relation like her, a cousin who had come to rely on them, to marry into.
They had been married for only six months, and life was peaceful enough, when disaster struck.
The dynasty fell, and chaos engulfed the land. Her husband died of illness, and Yu Zhao fled north with her mother-in-law and sisters-in-law. They were separated by a passing army, whose soldiers, greedy for her beauty, took her prisoner.
The once-noble young lady had become a delicate flower whom anyone could trample in these turbulent times.
.
Yu Zhao was held in the camp, but strangely, the man in charge never laid a finger on her.
She went to great lengths to escape and search for her family. At last, the commander of the army appeared. She had heard he was decisive and strict with his troops, and despised anyone who kept female slaves.
She slipped away when no one was watching and cried out to him for help. But she never expected to see the person who appeared before her in her dreams.
The vast army marched past at a steady pace. At its head, a stern figure sat astride a horse, looking down at her with a mocking, disdainful gaze.
She recognized him: Xie Qi, her late cousin's friend, and the heir to a marquisate whose proposal she had once rejected.
Xie Qi glanced at the heroine, still rooted to the spot in shock, and slowly curved his thin lips in a mocking smile.
"Cousin, long time no see."
He gave a cold laugh, his voice reckless. "I'm afraid you've ended up in my hands after all."
.
On the day Xie Qi heard the news that she was happy, he slaughtered his way across the battlefield.
Time had passed. He had become a young general feared throughout the Western Regions, while she had become the bride of a talented young man, and now she was a widow.
He resented her for rejecting him back then. Seeing her fall so low now was satisfying.
He decided to show her no more mercy. She had abandoned him first, so it was only natural that he keep her by his side and treat her as he pleased.
After keeping her near him for a long time, he thought that if she behaved and obeyed him, he might put the past behind them and give her the title of Marchioness.

A recommendation for my friend's novel, Crossing the Line with Someone You Know, by Fei Fei
Sitting across from her at the blind date was her ex-boyfriend's best friend.
This financial prodigy, fresh from Wall Street, maintained his usual aloof, untouchable air. His shirt buttons were fastened to perfection, his faint smile flawless, and his long fingers tapped slowly against the chin resting in his hand. He looked composed and unconcerned.
"Long time no see."
Looking at the elegant gentleman before her, Wen Ning remembered that he had once been bewitched into falling for a Cinderella, only to be cheated on and suffer the first major humiliation of his life. Back then, she had even mocked him without a shred of sympathy.
But before long, she too was spectacularly cheated on by the boyfriend her family had arranged for her. As she got drunk and cursed the jerk on the street, Gu Yanchi happened to pass by.
She had watched him fall from his pedestal, and he had coolly remarked that she had poor judgment in men.
They had both seen each other at their most undignified.
.
A highly upvoted question on Zhihu: Two people who are too much alike are unlikely to end up together.
They'll struggle to appreciate each other and will only find each other irritating.
--
So, what is it like to marry your sworn enemy, someone you can't stand?
Wen Ning typed: Well, it's like opening a bottle of aged liquor when you don't know the year. The first kick is strong, and the aftereffects really hit you.
In short, it's one word: pretty satisfying.
By chance, she noticed a familiar username below, "Wenjiu Ning Litchi." It read:
It's not mutual. She's the only one who can't stand me. But she'll never know that I've always loved her.
I've loved her for so many years. At last, my wish has come true.
Theme: With enough effort, even an iron rod can be ground into a needle.

After I Was Forced to Marry the Coldhearted Minister
I think Xiao Lu has to be sick for now. When Huanhuan is kidnapped by the Ninth Prince and wants to get married, he will have to be sick again. I hope he will remember his lesson. If he continues to treat Huanhuan with this uncertain attitude, he will lose Huanhuan.
I think Xiao Lu's crazy look needs to be cured. He needs to be made to lose his ring again. He needs to go crazy and die. He needs to be made to feel as if his heart is fried. What kind of attitude should he have every day? Except in bed, if he dares to force himself, I'll let him fly!
If it weren't for God's perspective, no, given the current situation, I actually support Huanhuan's escape. Now Xiao Lu seems to be on the road to becoming a bandit and will never return, and he kills people at every turn. Although the three bandits were extremely vicious, they still beat and killed women who were hurt. No wonder Huanhuan was disgusted with them. Now Huanhuan was supported by a huge sense of guilt, and she felt completely confused. After Huanhuan figures out these changes in Xiao Lu, how many excuses and how long can this guilt give him? Support Huanhuan, and find a place deep in the mountains with your stepmother to live a peaceful life. At present, it seems that the stepmother is quite decent, and with her unborn brother, the two of them should be able to get along well. As for Xiao Lu, he is still going crazy. I can't bear to let Huan Huan see him looking so stupid now. Isn't it very clear when it comes to foreign wars? When it comes to dealing with Huanhuan, it seems that he is pushing Huanhuan away every moment. Although it looked like he had a pretty good catch.
It's well written. Will there be updates tonight [EYE][EYE]
But if the heroine goes to the second male lead now, she will lose both her wife and her troops.
Anyway, if Xiao Lu was a bandit for a day, Huan Huan would not be able to be with him sincerely. The daughter of a wealthy family might have had values from her childhood that she would rather lose her life to Xiao Lu than hang out with him in a bandit's den for no reason. Nowadays, the bandits on the mountain still mainly rob people. Although the imperial army also does not care about the life and death of the people, they have not done anything to rob homes or homes. I think if Li Wei, Xiao Lu and others don't raise a big banner to put an end to the chaos, save Piaoping in the troubled times, and save the building from collapse, but still bully the people who are worse off in this troubled times, Huanhuan may even have to wear away the last feeling of guilt. Xiao Lu, you have to figure out what to do to make Huan Huan have feelings for you. Being a loyal dog with a rough coat is more worthy of readers and Huan Huan's liking than being a black-hearted big-tailed wolf. Of course, there is no way to survive if you go down the mountain. The ninth prince at the foot of the mountain is even less of a thing, not to mention that the princess he marries doesn't look like a good person. Huanhuan is a hell that starts with 18 levels of hell and focuses on not letting people live.
Will Xiao Lu immediately seize it by force? Or do you hate it in your heart, but are reluctant to let it go, waiting for Huanhuan to run away for the second time, and then have a big explosion when you get on the sedan chair to get married? Anyway, both of them are poor babies. PS: Will Xiao Lu feel even more inferior now? He used to be a serious hunter, but now he has become a murderous bandit...
Fighting for favor in the harem is really boring. Ladies are obsessed with story books recently! Click to see: *"Cousin Doesn't Want to Climb High" Taken by Force When he learned that his good brother was interested in his cousin, Wang Yulou once persuaded Xie Qi to give up the idea. There are two reasons. First, the Xie family is a hereditary marquis and has a great family and a great business, which cannot be obtained by a fifth-rank official like them. Secondly, my cousin already has a sweetheart whom she likes and will be engaged to next year. Xie Qi just smiled and said nothing. He thought to himself, what does it matter? As long as she is the one he likes, even if she has a husband and is married, he can still snatch her away. * "The Escape from the Golden Palace" fake brother and sister, the princess of the subjugated country x crazy criticism of the new emperor Once the sky changes, the country will perish. Yuyin was imprisoned by Xiao Qi in the Golden Palace. She lived in fear every day, always afraid that Xiao Qi would kill her one day if she was unhappy. As expected, Xiao Qi humiliated her in every possible way, demanding more from her every night. She couldn't bear it and tried her best to escape. * "My Beautiful Wife" cookies, big beauty x white and black On the wedding night, the servant was miserable and had to carry several buckets of water during the night. On the second day, the eldest lady sitting in the main hall was smiling, "Husband and wife are considerate of each other. The prince is not in good health, so you should be more considerate of that." Lu Yuzhou coughed and sighed, "What mother said is true. It's just my fault that my body is not up to par, and my soul is suffering." Chu Lingxi subconsciously rubbed her numb waist and eyes. Her calves were still shaking faintly. She forced a smile and did not answer. *"The noble girl fell into prostitution" The down-and-out noble girl x the dandy boy Bai Rui was once a well-known and pampered girl in Changle City. After the palace coup, she was thrown into the dust and became a bird in the palm of the hands of the powerful, an actor who can be bullied by everyone. Living in a den of tigers and wolves, Bai Rui tried every means to protect herself, enduring step by step, walking on thin ice, hiding and retreating step by step. She hid herself very well, but she didn't expect to offend a bad man who shouldn't be offended.
The writing is really good, the transitions are very natural, and the plot is not draggy. I'm thinking that Li Wei's jade pendant is the same as that of Prince Xiao. It should be Li Wei who becomes the emperor in the end.
Oh my god, Su Zhi will not fall in love with Lu Shuang later, and then find out that Lu Shuang also likes Gu Huanyu, and will hate her from then on [supporting her cheek]
