After Losing My Memory, My Nemesis Forced Me to Marry Him

Zhu Ying, Commandery Princess of Ruyang, became the emperor's most trusted person after repeatedly earning merit in the suppression of bandits.

Grand Marshal Xiao Jinsheng was ordered to pursue and suppress the rebels, and incurred her resentment by competing with her for credit.

From then on, every time Zhu Ying saw Xiao Jinsheng, she wanted to kill him.

But during one mission, the two of them came up with exactly the same plan.

Xiao Jinsheng was as handsome as a jade carving, elegant and refined. Using his good looks to his advantage, he caught the eye of the eldest daughter of Guangming Stronghold's chief, who wanted him as a live-in son-in-law.

In truth, he planned to marry her under false pretenses, infiltrate the bandits, and bide his time before acting.

On the wedding night, Zhu Ying broke into Guangming Stronghold alone, drugged the chief's eldest daughter, and disguised herself as the bride, hoping to seize the chance to wipe out the bandits' den in one fell swoop.

But one of their subordinates betrayed them, and the two fell into an ambush. Both were injured and lost their memories.

Before they knew it, Zhu Ying and Xiao Jinsheng had completed the wedding rites, consummated the marriage, and become husband and wife for real.

When their subordinates finally found them, they were completely dumbfounded.

Fearing the pair would learn the truth, draw their swords, and fight each other to the death, the subordinates decided to play along and do their best to save this precarious marriage.

Fortunately, the two got along wonderfully after their wedding, and their feelings for each other grew deeper by the day.

But when asked how they'd met, come to know each other, and fallen in love, their subordinates didn't know what to say. So they cobbled together a moving love story based on the popular tales of the region.

The pair believed every word and grew even more devoted to each other.

Not long afterward, Zhu Ying gave birth to a daughter.

Later, Xiao Jinsheng recovered from his internal injuries and regained his memories.

But seeing his former archenemy nestled obediently in his arms, sweetly calling him "husband," he found it strange at first. Then he thought of their happy life together and looked at their clever, adorable daughter, and felt his life was complete.

Still, recalling how he and the Commandery Princess of Ruyang had once been at each other's throats, and remembering Zhu Ying's stubborn, unyielding nature, the kind that wouldn't budge even if nine oxen pulled her, made his head ache.

So he decided to put it off for as long as possible and help her regain her memories later.

One day, he hurried home after court. Their three-year-old daughter came running to him in tears and cried, "Mother ran away!"

Back at the bandits' den, a short sword was pressed against Xiao Jinsheng's throat. "You scoundrel! You actually conspired with your subordinates to make up a story and deceive me, the Commandery Princess? Prepare to die!"

After his wife regained her memories, she wanted neither their daughter nor him.
