Arranged marriage to love | Possessive pursuit | A lofty beauty goes mad for love
Voluptuous, gentle noblewoman vs. cold, unhinged Emperor
The late Emperor arranged the marriage, forcing Shen Qingzhi, a noblewoman from Jiangnan, to marry the Crown Prince, Xue Zhiheng. The Crown Prince disliked the match and treated her coldly, leaving her to endure the capital's gossip.
Years later, after the Crown Prince ascended the throne, his ministers urged him to appoint an empress. Only then did Xue Zhiheng order her to enter the palace.
After entering the palace, Shen Qingzhi obeyed him in everything. Though she had never lifted a finger around the house, she cooked meals and soups for him.
Xue Zhiheng loathed flattery and turned away her affection.
She didn't care and continued to serve him considerately day after day. As time went on, Xue Zhiheng visited her chambers more and more often at night. He never held back in bed, caring only about his own pleasure.
Everyone knew Xue Zhiheng was disciplined and proper, and kept his distance from women. Only Shen Qingzhi knew about the sickly possessiveness beneath his cold exterior.
When she repeatedly refused the position of empress, he imprisoned her in his palace and insisted on reading every letter from home.
Shen Qingzhi had only wanted to keep her head down in the palace and protect her family. She never imagined she would lose herself in the process...
One night, she escaped the palace amid the chaos, but the Imperial Guards pursued her to a cliff.
She would rather die than return to Xue Zhiheng. Before everyone's eyes, she leapt.

Shen Qingzhi woke up in an unfamiliar town, alive and well, but with no memory.
Her rescuer was a handsome scholar named Wen Heng, gentle as jade and as bright as the moon. He was exactly her type.
Wen Heng treasured her, caring for and indulging her despite their humble life.
They fell in love, and she became pregnant not long after their wedding. He took excellent care of her throughout her pregnancy.
Shen Qingzhi thought the three of them would live happily ever after, until one afternoon, her memories returned.
The hardworking, thrifty husband before her had the exact same face as Xue Zhiheng...

Shen Qingzhi began planning her escape again. Just then, she received a letter from her mother urging her to return home: "There's a distant cousin in the family, a refined gentleman of impeccable character who is willing to marry Zhi'er."
She no longer hesitated. While Xue Zhiheng was away, she took the child and headed straight for Jiangnan.
On a dark, windy night, the carriage came to an abrupt stop in the forest.
Xue Zhiheng lifted the curtain, leaned in, and grabbed her by the ankle. His eyes were ominous. "Qingzhi, who are you going to marry after taking my child with you?"

Reader's guide and content warnings:
★ The heroine really does value her life!!!
★ Strong male lead, weak female lead. A taste of a sinister, possessive Emperor and an over-the-top forced-marriage melodrama. The story includes amnesia, faked death, running away while pregnant, male stand-in fiction, and a groveling-after-the-breakup arc. The hero is crazy, so proceed with caution if that's not your thing!
★ Both are virgins and each other's first love. The hero is pure in body and mind.
Theme: Find hope and thrive even when trapped in desperate circumstances.
