I Forgot My Husband After Our Whirlwind Wedding

That day, Li Feng was working the night shift. He performed two emergency surgeries in a row and treated three patients whose conditions suddenly worsened. The intense workload left him feeling so exhausted he could drop dead at any moment. Just before his shift ended, he forced himself to stay alert and make rounds in the VIP ward for a well-known CEO.

The atmosphere in the room was solemn and oppressive, and two ceramic teacups lay shattered on the floor. As Li Feng finished his examination and prepared to leave the danger zone, the CEO's son glanced at his ID badge and suddenly asked, "Dr. Li, would you marry me?"

Li Feng: "???"

The man had an even stronger presence than the powerful CEO in the hospital bed. He stood by the window of the VIP ward with his arms crossed, leaning back in a relaxed pose. His handsome, rugged face was utterly impassive, as if he hadn't just asked, "Would you marry me?" but had instead asked, "How much is this cabbage?"

Maybe it was his mother's nagging phone call about marriage before he entered the ward, or maybe he was mentally exhausted after a night shift. For some reason, Li Feng's brain short-circuited, and he replied, "Sure!"

After they got their marriage license, the man never showed up again. Li Feng's life carried on unchanged, and he was so busy that he soon forgot he was married.

Six months later, a murder took place across the hall, and Li Feng was implicated. Sitting in the interrogation room at the municipal public security bureau, he thought the man who walked in wearing a police uniform looked familiar.

The officer taking the statement signaled to Captain Qi: Can we start?

Captain Qi looked at Li Feng, his stern face growing even colder. "I'm recusing myself from this case."

The officer taking the statement: "???"

Captain Qi glanced at Li Feng, who clearly didn't remember him, then turned and headed out. "I'm his husband!"

The officer taking the statement: "!!!"

The bureau chief in the monitoring room looked around at the officers beside him. "Your captain's husband doesn't seem to recognize him. How did they even get married?"

The officers: "Our boss is married?!"

Li Feng looked completely bewildered. "Wasn't my husband some rich third-generation heir? How did he turn out to be a cop???"

Please check out my other ongoing novel, Every Crime Leaves a Trace [Criminal Investigation]. It's currently being serialized, and I'm looking for follows. Here's the blurb:

Xia Hang spent eight years undercover in the Golden Triangle, earning countless merits. After completing his mission, his one request to his superiors was a transfer to the Major Crimes Unit of the Criminal Investigation Squad at Lang City Public Security Bureau.

His superior was confused. "Why Lang City?"

The young man lying in the hospital bed was slender, with refined features and a clear gaze. No one but the superior at his bedside could believe he was the "Snowy Owl" who had struck fear into the hearts of Golden Triangle drug dealers.

Xia Hang offered no explanation. A handsome, roguish face appeared in his mind. That man had been his emotional anchor, keeping him going through eight years deep in "hell."

Han Huaixiao slapped the transfer order in his hand down in front of Yan Zheng, chief of the Lang City Public Security Bureau. "You can't assign him to my team!"

Yan Zheng replied calmly, "And your reason?"

Han Huaixiao crossed his arms, his smile never reaching his eyes. "He's my ex. If you have a screw loose, I can check with the forensics department to see if they have a spare one."

Han Huaixiao: The youngest deputy captain of a criminal investigation squad in the system, capable, handsome, and rich, a walking bundle of sex appeal. The only blot on his flawless resume was getting dumped without warning in the middle of a passionate relationship eight years ago. Whenever he thought about the reason for the breakup, Han Huaixiao ground his teeth in rage.

Eight years after their breakup, his ex became his subordinate. Their changed relationship forced them to investigate cases together: an elevator murder, a village case, a drug-enhancement case, and a human trafficking case involving a shipping company. One major case after another, with countless interlocking connections, was solved piece by piece. As one cruel truth after another came to light, could the two men, separated for eight years, get back together?

P.S. 1. The cases, main characters, supporting characters, and place names in the story aren't based on anything real. They're all fictional. The author isn't a professional, and the story includes plenty of invented details, so please don't compare it to real life.

2. Neither lead is perfect. They are three years apart in age. Both are virgins. HE.

Please check out my upcoming novel, A Marriage Misunderstood. Here's the blurb:

Ye Zhen is the overlooked younger son of the Ye family. The first twenty-two years of his life have been filled with contempt and abuse. To him, the prominent and wealthy Ye family is a prison, and he is a sparrow with broken wings. When the Ye family forces him to marry Liang Yunian, the disabled former head of the Liang family, he thinks he is simply moving from one prison to another, more gilded one.

Unexpectedly, Liang Yunian tells him tenderly, "Ye Zhen, I've had a crush on you for three years. I know you don't like the Ye family, so I made a deal with them to have them send you to me."

After the wedding, Liang Yunian's love and care illuminate Ye Zhen's bleak, barren life. Ye Zhen gives himself to him completely, as if making a sacrifice. But just as he's fallen deeply in love with Liang Yunian, he learns that he's nothing more than a pawn in Liang Yunian's bid to reclaim power.

As the Liang family's legitimate grandson, Liang Yunian is privileged, arrogant, and ruthless. He and his classmates successfully launched a business when he was eighteen. At twenty-two, he was named successor to the Liang Group, and at twenty-four, he took full control. But at twenty-eight, he was betrayed by his own family in an internal power struggle. With both legs disabled, he had no choice but to lie low.

The family elders gave him a male marriage partner just to spite him, and the man was the illegitimate son of a wealthy family's mistress. To mislead his rivals and find some amusement during the dull days spent at home recovering his legs, he put on an act: that of a man deeply in love with Ye Zhen.

After years navigating the business world, manipulating an innocent man starved for affection like Ye Zhen was as easy as manipulating an ant. Ye Zhen fell for him and threw himself completely into the role Liang Yunian had written for him, playing along. Under Ye Zhen's attentive care, Liang Yunian's legs gradually recovered, and power returned to his hands.

On the day the show wrapped, Liang Yunian swiftly stepped out of character, and Ye Zhen, understanding his place, disappeared from his life.

Back at the top, Liang Yunian thought he would feel triumphant. But as he looked at a home with not a trace of Ye Zhen left in it, he slowly began to feel that his entire world was empty...

Years later, the media exposed a trove of evidence of the Ye family's crimes, and the Ye Group collapsed and was acquired. At a business banquet, Liang Yunian saw Ye Zhen, whom he'd searched for desperately for years. Ye Zhen, who once had eyes only for him, looked at him calmly and said, "Mr. Liang."

A business partner beside him asked curiously, "Mr. Liang, do you know each other?"

Liang Yunian stared at Ye Zhen and replied, "More than that. Our marriage certificate is still at home."

P.S.

1. The setting is fictional, and same-sex marriage is legal.

2. The top has to win back the bottom. No switching tops. Both leads are virgins. HE.
