Blurb:
On the night of the Ghost Festival, someone cried, "There's a ghost!" The people in the prince's manor were reminded that they still had an unwanted male consort.
A terrified old servant, a maid who got reprimanded, Madam Xiang who was caught... All of this proved that the consort had been possessed by a ghost.
Not only that, the spirit possessing him was a powerful evil ghost, skilled at bewitching people's hearts. Just look at Madam Lan, who usually avoided socializing, the young master from the Marshal's manor next door, and even the prince himself. Hadn't they all fallen under his spell?
What finally confirmed the rumors was the consort's sudden disappearance after the Mid-Autumn banquet.
"Wen Jin" had lost his memory. Everyone said he was the first male consort in history, a famous laughingstock in the capital, but none of it felt real to him.
Sure enough, after experiencing one strange incident after another, he came to an outrageous conclusion: he wasn't Wen Jin. He might really be a ghost.
To find out who he really was, Wen Jin left the prince's manor.
Wen Huaiyu, skilled at solving crimes; "Young Master Liufeng," peerless in both painting and martial arts; one of the candidates to become the Lord of Hanyu City; a guest elder of the Qingcheng Sect; a disciple of the Poison Sect...
The more identities he acquired, the less he could remember who he was.
At last, several years later, Young Master Liufeng saved the emperor and joined the Court of Judicial Review.
On the day he entered the court, at the palace gates:
Prince Su stared at the newcomer in shock. "Wen Jin, I finally found you! What are you doing here?!"
The top scorer's wife looked at him in delight. "Huaiyu, so you're Young Master Liufeng!"
Investigating Censor Li Zhuo said, "Hero Wen, thank you for your help in Linjiang Prefecture!"
Wen Jin held a folding fan and bowed with a smile. "I am Wen Jin, courtesy name Huaiyu, currently serving as the Minister of the Court of Judicial Review."
Wonderful. Everywhere he looked, he saw familiar faces!
Notes:
1. No CP, adored by everyone. Both men and women fall for the protagonist, but their feelings are unrequited. The protagonist never falls for anyone. (This is important!)
2. Set in a melodramatic fictional world. The jianghu and the imperial court are closely intertwined. Both men and women may serve as officials, but consorts and princes' husbands cannot hold important positions.
3. Includes a substitute marriage. The original Wen Jin became the prince's consort in place of his younger sister. There is more to this arrangement than meets the eye.
