Chun Ying is the chieftain of Yaofeng Stockade. She has a ravishingly beautiful face and a bold, lively temperament, like a tiny firecracker ready to blow at any moment.
There are two things she loves most in life: mountains of gold and silver, and handsome young men.
Her two favorite pastimes: robbing the rich and abducting people.
One day, Chun Ying went down the mountain to rob the rich and unexpectedly came across a badly wounded man.
They say you should never pick up a strange man from the roadside.
But Chun Ying looked at his handsome face, still striking beneath the blood, his refined bearing that shone through his ragged clothes, and his broad shoulders and narrow waist.
She took one look, then another, and decisively brought him back to the stockade.
Chun Ying planned to demand repayment for saving his life once he recovered, and make him stay as her husband of the stockade. She just never expected him to wake up with no memory!
The man quietly raised his eyes. His dark gaze held a cold emptiness and confusion. "Who am I?"
Chun Ying wore a sorrowful, heartrending expression. "You have no parents, no home to return to, and I was lucky enough to save you... Now you're both my husband of the stockade and my servant."

Xiao Dan was born into the imperial family, and was widely recognized as a gifted heir to the throne. Cool, detached, and deeply calculating, he was adept at turning people's hearts into pieces in his schemes, and could even use himself as a pawn to achieve his ends.
On this journey south, he was acting on the emperor's orders to suppress the bandits who were harassing the people.
After learning that the female bandit was greedy and lustful, Xiao Dan used himself as bait. He had accounted for everything, but failed to foresee one thing: amnesia.
By the time his memories returned, Xiao Dan had already spent three whole months at Yaofeng Stockade.
After enduring countless difficulties, his trusted aide finally managed to see him, and wept with joy. "Your Highness, did everything go smoothly?" "Have you uncovered the stockade's secrets?" "When will you move against that female bandit?"
At last, the aide's voice trembled. "What exactly have you been doing all these months?!"
Xiao Dan recalled it coldly:
Massaging her shoulders and back, his fingertips pressing against her soft, delicate neck and shoulders; warming her feet and her bed, letting her cool feet rest against his legs; tasting her dishes and serving her soup; carrying on her family line for her...
After a long silence, he resignedly closed his eyes. His voice was hoarse, its meaning hard to read. "I've figured it out."
He had spent these past few months being someone's dog.
