Bai Guanshu, an official at the Hanlin Academy, lost his memory. Others told him he had fallen into the water while picking lotus seeds for the person he loved.
He was deeply devoted, with eyes and heart for no one else.
Before long, Bai Guanshu met the beloved person his colleagues had spoken of.
He was beautiful and wealthy, but had no one to rely on, which made people feel for him.
No wonder she had been so devoted to him before losing her memory.
Those people kept pressuring him, saying they would hold on to his estate for him.
Bai Guanshu naturally stepped in to help her beloved out. She deliberately acted intimate with him in front of others and made a point of explaining their wedding plans.
But...
The beloved's reaction seemed rather bewildered.
Had she overstepped and upset him?
But ever since she got together with him, life had been getting better and better.
Wasn't she supposed to have scrimped and saved to spend money on her beloved? Why wasn't he taking any?
Pei Huansi was truly at the end of his rope.
Having suddenly lost both parents, he was left with a vast estate and countless assets and riches. Naturally, the so-called relatives set their sights on him, even moving into his home and acting like his aunt and uncle.
He needed someone to rely on.
And the newly crowned top scholar, praised by his friend as a man of noble character who had devotedly pursued that friend, was just the person to get him out of an immediate predicament.
He borrowed someone else's help, only to find that person had lost her memory.
She took him for her close friend, someone she shared mutual affection with, and treated him with tender intimacy, their fingers entwined.
He shouldn't have grown greedy, nor should he have indulged in wishful thinking.
Least of all should he have thrown himself into her arms.
But in the end, whether as a side consort, a husband-servant, or even without a title,
he would accept it all.
He had made the mistake in the first place, so he might as well see it through to the end.
[A Steadfast, Gentlewoman x A Male Lead Who Throws Himself at Her and Is Easily Won Over]
A few things to know before reading:
1. The friend is just unlucky, but this one is no pushover. There will be hair-pulling drama and the like.
2. The female lead will regain her memories later on.
3. Emotionally, the male lead is very dependent on the female lead. He'll hand over full control of his estate to her, but he's not actually useless. He also loves buying things for her. He's a rich heir through and through, and he's got money to burn.
4. One-on-one pairing, both leads are virgins.
