(Marriage first, love later/double strength)
(The upright girl who values love and keeps promises, is strong in martial arts VS the ambitious, cunning and playful prince)
When Jiang Xian woke up, his martial arts skills were all gone, and his memory stopped a year ago.
During this year, something unexpected happened. She hid her sword and changed her skirt, transforming herself into the official concubine of Dugu Zhi, the deposed prince of Daliang.
Dugu Zhi has a surly temperament and a notorious reputation, but he treats her very well. He not only protects her at all times, but also teaches her how to gain a foothold in the palace; Jiang Xian also gradually understands the reasons behind his absurdity.
Later, Jiang Xian resumed his martial arts and wanted to escape from the palace, but after much hesitation, he decided to stay and protect him.
The two get along day and night, and their relationship grows stronger.
Until the rebellion happened...
Jiang Xian witnessed with his own eyes that Dugu Zhi, regardless of his life, rescued his former sweetheart from the arrow formation of the rebel army.
She went to ask for the truth, but was placed under house arrest by him.
At this moment, Jiang Xian regained his memory and remembered that the marriage was just about both parties getting what they wanted, and everything before was just a show.
Jiang Xian no longer hesitated, broke through the palace gate with three swords, and rode away.
——
At the palace banquet, Dugu Zhi took a look at Jiang Xian. An abandoned daughter of a declining marquis, she was upright, dull, and scheming, so she was the perfect choice for marriage.
In order to stabilize Jiang Xian, he gave her more and more tenderness and preference. He thought he was awake, but little did he know that if he got involved in the situation, he would eventually become addicted to it.
When he witnessed Jiang Xian's injury, he experienced the fear of losing control for the first time in his life. He revealed his sharp claws that had been hidden for many years and washed the court with blood.
Before Jiang Xian left the palace, he left letters to everyone except him.
Duguzhi rubbed these letters and murmured:
——Axian, now that I have glimpsed the light of the sky, how can I return to the dark night?
