Story Blurb
The Si and Xiao families had been bound by a life-and-death friendship for generations.
The two families were close and often visited one another.
One day, the Emperor had a sudden inspiration and issued an imperial decree arranging a marriage, hoping to strengthen the families' ties.
Si Jin's parents were overjoyed, as if smoke were rising from their ancestors' graves.
Si Jin, however, had a bellyful of treasonous things she didn't dare say.
In the end, all she managed was a sullen, "I won't marry him," which brought her mother to tears, clutching her handkerchief, and left her father holding the imperial decree and sighing.
With no other choice, Si Jin steeled herself and went to Xiao Rong.
They successfully reached an agreement on the condition that Xiao Rong had inexplicably proposed: in public, they would have to pretend to be a loving married couple.
*
In the end, the truth came out.
Xiao Rong had asked the Emperor to arrange that unreasonable marriage.
Xiao Rong had made up the reason they needed to pretend to be a loving couple.
Even the personal belongings she had lost one after another had been stolen by Xiao Rong.
Every last thing had been planned by Xiao Rong.
He deceived her, schemed against her, and threatened her, determined to keep her by his side forever.
Si Jin fled in terror at once.
But an accident befell her on the road, and after escaping danger, she lost her memory.
When Si Jin woke, she saw a completely unfamiliar face.
She asked him, "Who are you?"
He told her, "I'm your husband. Don't you remember?"
Uneasy, Si Jin hunched her shoulders and shook her head in confusion.
Excitement welled in his eyes, only to be completely masked by an expression of sorrow.
He brought her before him and gently reassured her, "Don't be afraid. I'll stay with you and help you remember, little by little."

Peach Blossoms, Three or Two Sprigs
Chu Yu was the sharpest blade in the hands of the ruler of Xiliao.
His final mission before regaining his freedom was to infiltrate the Southern Jing imperial palace as Princess Yongning's male consort.
Tao Zhi was the palace maid Princess Yongning trusted most.
The final order she received before her term of service ended was to impersonate the princess and keep her men in line until the princess returned to the palace.
It was another night full of stars.
An old nanny presented a stack of name plaques.
Tao Zhi's mouth twitched. "I-is it time to attend the princess again?"
"No, it's time to take on a new consort."
*
Chu Yu found Princess Yongning rather strange.
When she summoned a man to her bed, she had to be blindfolded.
She stripped him, but only touched him, never using him.
Suspecting some hidden agenda, he investigated in secret and discovered several books written by the princess beneath her desk.
He casually opened one.
It was an erotic diary filled with things he'd never heard of or seen before, all sorts of acts and games. This business of only touching and not using was one of them.
Turning the page, he found it clearly written that once she had enjoyed the pleasure of keeping him waiting, next came...
*
Tao Zhi was very pleased with her newest consort.
He was handsome, fit, and cooperative.
He let her touch him wherever she pleased, never saying anything unnecessary.
His reactions always seemed genuine, making him perfect material for the erotic books she sold.
Using him as her model, she'd already earned quite a bit of silver. Once the princess returned to the palace, she could leave happily with her private savings.
But things were gradually getting out of hand.
Her erotic books grew bolder and bolder, and she and Chu Yu grew closer and closer.
A handsome man was a dangerous distraction. She seemed to be getting a little too absorbed in him.
It wasn't that her willpower was weak. He was simply too good at what he did.
So good that she even wanted to take him with her when she left the palace.
Asking the princess to grant her a male consort wouldn't be difficult.
But would Chu Yu agree?
What did men who wanted to become a princess's consort want?
Gold and silver, jewels, wealth, and status.
How could she compare to a real princess?
Heartbroken, Tao Zhi wrote several chapters of her story without a single erotic scene.
Lost in her writing, she found herself beginning every chapter with an involuntary description: "She was a wealthy woman, with a fortune in gold and silver wrapped around her waist."
The man who read her private musings at night couldn't help falling into deep thought as he read the latest chapter.
What did she mean by this? Had she grown tired of him and moved on to money?
