Tao Jing came from no particularly prominent family. By a twist of fate, she married into the Duke’s residence. She and Fu Yuhuai, the heir to the dukedom, had been married for five years. They treated each other with respect, and their life together was decent enough.
But when Fu Yuhuai was away on official business, he accidentally fell and hit his head, reverting to the memories he had six years ago.
The first thing he said when he woke and saw Tao Jing was, "Who are you? Where is Yun Wan?"
Yun Wan was Fu Yuhuai’s fiancée six years ago.

After losing his memory, Fu Yuhuai became even more distant toward Tao Jing. He even brought his former fiancée, whose family had fallen on hard times, back to the household.
Everyone in the residence waited to see Tao Jing cry and make a scene.
But Tao Jing neither cried nor made a fuss. She even asked for a divorce, considerately offering to make room for Yun Wan.
What no one knew was that Tao Jing didn’t love Fu Yuhuai. She had wanted to leave for a long time, but Fu Yuhuai had never agreed.
This time, fate had handed her the perfect opportunity.

Fu Yuhuai’s memories were stuck at the age of twenty. He woke one day to discover he had a wife. But she wasn’t the fiancée he had been in love with. She was a stranger he had never met.
Everyone in the residence said Tao Jing was devoted to him, but...
He said he still loved Yun Wan, and Tao Jing said she understood.
He said he wanted a divorce, and Tao Jing agreed at once.
He had lost his memory, not his mind.
Tao Jing didn’t love him.
"In the past five years, did I ever love you?" Fu Yuhuai asked, suspicion in his eyes.
"No," Tao Jing said, her palms sweating as she denied it outright.
Fu Yuhuai dug out every love poem he had written to Tao Jing over the past five years and laid them before her.
"Then what are these?" He pressed closer, step by step.
"You deceived me like this. Did you ever truly consider me your husband?"
At that moment, Tao Jing understood that she couldn’t get away.
