After a serious illness, Chu Yi lost her memory.
To make matters worse, her father was gravely ill, her older brother was away at war, and she had to marry her archenemy, the Ninth Prince Motai Jing, at once. The emperor had decreed the marriage, and there was no escape.
With troubles both inside and out, the days ahead were sure to be difficult.
On their wedding night, Motai Jing left her behind. She became the laughingstock of the entire Anjing City, scorned by the nobility and even bullied by the servants in her own household.
Motai Jing also had a beloved woman. He had a whole garden of crabapple trees transplanted for her, while Chu Yi, who merely went to admire the flowers, was warned not to damage them.
So when her memories returned, the first thing she planned was to join forces with Motai Jing. They would trade favors, then part ways once the job was done.

But Motai Jing had long since fallen for Chu Yi. To protect her, he had risked everything to petition the emperor for their marriage, helped her in secret under a secret identity, and even been willing to get hurt himself.
After all, having an heir sooner would have solved a lot of problems, but he respected her too much to force himself on her.
Caught up in the struggle for imperial power, he had too many things he couldn't control. And because he was too proud to admit his feelings, he could only act cold while quietly giving her everything. He had agreed to their separation only because he was too stubborn to take back his words.
But when their plan started heading toward success, he panicked!!!
