[Unhinged, scheming regent x sensitive, lonely amnesiac princess]

-A story of mutual healing and finding their way to each other-

Shangguan Xue was the youngest princess of Qi. From childhood, the Imperial Preceptor regarded her as an ill omen. Abandoned by her parents, she was left to grow up outside the palace and could only return when summoned.

One day, she woke up having lost the past five years of her memories.

By then, her parents had already died, and she had been brought back to the palace as a princess. But every night, she would wake in terror after dreaming of her own gruesome death, growing more and more haggard.

To seek treatment for her illness, Shangguan Xue concealed her identity and traveled to Sheng, renowned for treating head ailments.

Rumor had it that after conquering the northern kingdom, Sheng's regent, Qi Chu, had become bloodthirsty and took pleasure in torturing people to death.

Unfortunately, Shangguan Xue happened to damage the regent's carriage axle on the road, and her maid even cursed at him...

Just as she thought she was doomed to suffer for it:

Qi Chu, sitting inside the carriage: "Miss, if you have somewhere to be, go on ahead! I'm fine!"

Shangguan Xue: ?

The next day, a "refined and gentle" scholar moved in next door.

The Hero's Perspective:

Four years ago, Qi Chu met someone who was always smiling and telling him she loved him. She accompanied him on military campaigns to defend their homeland. Before he knew it, he had fallen deeply for her, and they had pledged themselves to each other.

Later, the Sheng emperor bribed his trusted subordinate and joined forces with the enemy kingdom to have him killed.

When Qi Chu learned that someone close to him had betrayed him, it was too late. He watched with his own eyes as Shangguan Xue was thrown off a cliff by the trusted subordinate he had relied on most.

Consumed by grief, Qi Chu conquered the enemy kingdom and usurped the Sheng emperor's authority. He became bloodthirsty, turning into the treacherous villain everyone spoke of.

Just when he thought he would spend the rest of his life this way, he met her again in front of his carriage, and a glimmer of light entered his dark life.

Afraid she would despise him, now stained head to toe in blood, Qi Chu transformed himself into the "cleanest" man in the world before meeting her again.

Scene One:

At the gates of Sheng's capital, the imperial guards surrounded Shangguan Xue and her party.

Shangguan Xue's eyes reddened. "Qi Chu, what will it take for you to let me go?"

Qi Chu gently brushed the loose hair from her forehead. "Only my death."

Scene Two:

One day, Shangguan Xue and Qi Chu argued and spent a day sleeping in separate rooms.

The chief eunuch in attendance: "Your Majesty, Empress, disaster! His Majesty has been attacked. His life is in grave danger!"

Shangguan Xue rushed over and found Qi Chu lying on the bed, looking extremely weak.

Her heart clenched. She hurried to his side and asked, "Qingzhi, are you all right? Don't scare me!"

Qi Chu's voice was faint. "Xue'er, please don't be angry with me, okay? Before I die, can we stop sleeping in separate rooms?"

Shangguan Xue's eyes filled with tears. "All right! As long as you're okay, I'll agree to anything!"

Qi Chu immediately sat up and dropped the act. "You said it! For the next eighty years, you can't kick me out!"

Shangguan Xue: ...I fell for it again.

Coming Soon: Saving the Man Who Keeps Trying to Win Me Over

[Powerful Censor-in-Chief who plays the pig to eat the tiger x cheerful, optimistic heiress]

When Rong Le woke up, she found herself in a hospital with an arrow wound in her back and three months of lost memories.

While doing research at a museum, she saw an arrow stained with blood and realized that history didn't match her memories. As her head spun, she somehow transmigrated to three months earlier, with a copy of The History of Zhou in her hands.

Rong Le flipped to the section about Yuchi Yang, the character she had read about many times and found most tragic:

According to the historical record, he was one of the few loyal officials of Zhou, beloved by the emperor and revered by the people. Sadly, because he loved the Crown Princess Shang Zhi, he was blindly loyal to the Crown Prince. In the end, after the Crown Prince discovered he was the emperor's illegitimate son, he was shot to death by a volley of arrows.

Huh, why does it look like someone tore out this page?

As she touched the torn edge, she suddenly transmigrated into the history described on that page.

Oh my god, where am I? It's so cold!

Rong Le shivered all over and spotted a very handsome young gentleman lying on the ground not far away.

As she sneakily tried to take the fox-fur cloak off him, two villagers passed by. "Miss, what are you doing?"

Rong Le stopped and turned back with an awkward smile. "This is my husband. He's almost gone, so I thought I'd take off the only valuable thing we own and sell it, then give him a proper burial!"

As she spoke, she put on a sorrowful expression and squeezed out a few tears.

Just then, Yuchi Yang opened his eyes and grabbed her hand, his voice weak and faint. "Wife, I'm not dead yet."

Rong Le: ?

Later, he insisted on repaying her for saving his life and latched onto her...

Well, since it had come to this, she might as well see things through and be a good person to the end:

She would do her best to help him escape his destined death and get together with Shang Zhi.

But every time she tried to set Yuchi Yang and Shang Zhi up, why did he look at her so strangely?

The Hero's Perspective:

In his previous life, Yuchi Yang met someone who was always by his side, advising him to stay away from Shang Zhi and occasionally teaching him how to be a treacherous official.

One day, she desperately tried to stop him from meeting the Crown Prince, saying the Crown Prince would have him killed in a rain of arrows.

He only smiled and ignored her.

It wasn't until she took a fatal arrow meant for him that he was overcome with grief and finally believed everything she had said.

In the end, he went mad, killed every prince, and bathed the whole palace in blood.

On the day he ascended the throne, a Taoist told him that if he took his own life to atone for his sins, he could return to the past and meet her again.

He did as instructed.

When he opened his eyes again, he was back on the snowy day he had first met her.

Yuchi Yang smiled and quietly waited for her to appear.

In this life, he swore he would protect her, grant her every wish, and become a treacherous villain.

And most of all, he would never let her go back!

Scene One:

In his previous life, after Rong Le was shot by an arrow, she weakly touched Yuchi Yang's face and managed a smile.

"Since you chose Shang Zhi, I hope you can be happy with her. Take her back from the Crown Prince. Don't be sad. I won't die. I'll tell you a secret: I'm not from your era, and I may be going back now."

Yuchi Yang's bloodshot eyes flew open, and he held her even tighter.

In the end, he could only watch helplessly as she disappeared before his eyes, leaving only a bloodstained arrow in his arms.

Scene Two:

One day, Rong Le heard that Yuchi Yang had been captured by the Crown Prince and rushed over. She found him lying in a pool of blood.

She held him and cried, "Yuchi Yang, are you all right? Don't scare me! Boohoo!"

Yuchi Yang subtly moved his index finger, signaling his men on the roof not to make a sound.

Then he laboriously opened his eyes and pushed himself up, his breath weak. "Le'er, I'm fine, but I have one unfulfilled wish. Will you grant it for me?"

Rong Le, eyes full of tears: "All right. What is it?"

Yuchi Yang: "Let's get married."

The guards on the roof, who had just killed everyone in the room, silently gave their master a thumbs-up.

A quarter of an hour earlier, when their master heard Rong Le had arrived, he had immediately chased them out, then deliberately laid down in a pool of his enemies' blood and rolled around in it...
