On the day the top scholar was to take a second wife, his deceased first wife appeared at the wedding hall and brought along a wild man.

The wild man was a bricklayer, and also the one who had saved her life.

She had lost her memory and spent three months as the man's wife. She wanted to divorce the top scholar and part ways, each going their own way in peace.

Her mother-in-law flew into a rage: Divorce? Don't even think about it! You can only be cast off!

The top scholar was devastated: I've cherished you for so long, thinking of you day and night, and you repay me by abandoning me!

As he finished, he felt a sinister, icy glare sweep up his back.

Zhao Min had been brilliant since childhood and became a top scholar at a young age. His only stain was marrying the least favored youngest daughter of a ninth-rank official, making him a laughingstock.

Changing wives wasn't difficult. He had even considered killing her.

But when news of her death arrived, he inexplicably felt as if a piece of his heart had gone missing.

When she appeared at the wedding hall again, lively and lovely, her tender gaze fell on another man: a coarse, lowly bricklayer.

Consumed by jealousy, he naturally refused to let her go.

Three days later, at the poetry gathering hosted by the Duke of Zhenguo's residence, he unexpectedly received an invitation, despite having been turned away at the door many times before.

There stood the bricklayer, transformed into the heir of the Duke of Zhenguo: dressed in blue with a jade crown, peerlessly handsome, standing on the dais. His gaze passed over the crowd and fell on him.

He said, "If the top scholar refuses to divorce her, then we'll just have to make her a widow."

Huo Qingling, heir to the Duke of Zhenguo, was famed for his breathtaking beauty throughout the capital, yet his ruthless methods meant no one dared meet his eyes.

Naturally, no one knew that the young girl he had loved for years had happily married another man on the day he returned to the capital.

One day, an underling reported that someone had tampered with her carriage. It had been saved just as it plunged off a cliff, but she remained unconscious.

He immediately dropped what he was doing and rushed to her side.

When she woke, her eyes were innocent and confused, and her voice as sweet as ever.

She called to him, "Brother, who are you?"

She had lost her memory.

At that moment, he keenly realized his chance had come.
