The historical romance "Spoiled by My Older Brother After Losing My Memory" is currently being serialized. If you are interested, feel free to check it out.
A single imperial decree of marriage forces Cui Ning'an to marry in her older sister's place and become the general's wife, concealing the truth behind her sister's death.
The two are strangers, yet the emperor's command forces them to live together. This can hardly be called a match made in heaven.
After their wedding, she discovers that her husband has long been in love with her sister. From beginning to end, she has been nothing but a substitute.
But even someone as reserved as her cannot withstand Xu Hengmiao's tender concern and passionate affection.
Cui Ning'an's defenses gradually crumble beneath these invisible blades.
She drinks strong liquor, and, with her vision blurred by drink, tells him the truth and returns his love.
After one night together, even if their bond as husband and wife should come to an end, she will have no regrets.
Everyone says that the Cui family's young lady is a red camellia, one flower blooming with such fiery passion that it sets the whole mountain ablaze.
Xu Hengmiao, however, thinks his wife is a block of ice, impossible to warm no matter how he tries.
He hears that she loves red coral jewelry, so he goes to great lengths to find the most beautiful red coral necklace and gives it to her with all his heart.
She thanks him coolly, then turns around and locks the necklace away in the storeroom.
From then on, whatever he gives her, that same day the gift is locked away in the storeroom to gather dust.
Xu Hengmiao gradually begins to wonder if his information is wrong. Why does every attempt to please his beloved fail to touch her heart?
One day, he notices something unusual about his beloved wife's handwriting and finally realizes she married in her sister's place.
He calmly puts the letter away, pretending nothing has happened.
It doesn't matter. He can wait until she is willing to tell him the truth and give him her sincere feelings.
It is only a matter of time before he warms this block of ice.
After watching his half-drunk, half-awake wife tell him the whole story, he sees her turn to leave.
Xu Hengmiao grabs her and patiently kisses away the tear tracks on her face.
“I have never loved the wrong person. It has always been you.”
[Bonus Scene]
Cui Ning'an notices that her husband has seemed a little strange lately.
He acts weak: “This old injury has flared up again. I can't move for a while. May I borrow your shoulder to lean on?”
He feigns illness: “I've caught a chill, so I can't go outside into the wind. Please stay here and talk with me.”
He plays the victim: “I've spent years fighting far from home and never known the warmth of a family. I beg you to turn your attention to me.”
One day, news arrives that he has fallen in battle. Heartbroken, Cui Ning'an travels a great distance to retrieve his body.
Instead, she finds him alive and well, laughing and chatting in front of the military tent.
Cui Ning'an gets angry and rushes up to punch him.
“You lied to me again?”
Xu Hengmiao clutches his wound, then spits out a mouthful of blood.
“This time I really didn't lie. I almost died.”

Wen Zhuyue, the youngest daughter of a merchant family, encounters bandits on the road. She is injured and loses her memory amid the flames. Fortunately, when she wakes, her older brother is by her side, so the days ahead should not be too bad.
Her older brother arranges for her to recuperate in a secluded courtyard. Though he is cold-faced and taciturn, he takes care of her in every way.
During the days when her memories are hazy, the bond between the siblings grows stronger. They drink wine, brew tea, go boating, and talk about everything.
Unexpectedly, the day a band of marauders appears shatters their peaceful life completely. The shock brings back all the memories buried deep in Wen Zhuyue's heart.
She and her older brother are strangers. Their claim to be siblings is false, their deep affection as brother and sister is a lie, and behind her brother's warmth lies a heart of utter hypocrisy.
Wen Zhuyue immediately plans her escape, but before she can get far, a young gentleman grips her wrist and blocks the way inside the room with his tall frame.
His handsome, refined face bears a look of absolute determination. His breath quickens beside her ear as he says, “It's just as well that you've remembered. I don't want to be your older brother anymore, either.”
Theme: Love that goes beyond appearances
I feel like the style of the painting has changed. The machinations in the palace are childish, like children with no IQ playing house.
Have you finished writing the extra? Why does it feel like Extra 5 ended halfway through?
I went to Yunnan for a few days to find inspiration. Updates are irregular. Please forgive me, little angels (love love)
Cheers (???_??)?
