After Losing My Memory, I Made Up with My Mortal Enemy

Shen Qingyan and Mu Jue had never gotten along.

The refined young lady couldn't stand the unruly boy next door, who was always leaping about. The proud young general loved teasing his sweet-faced but sly childhood friend.

They were ill-matched in every way and bickered whenever they met. Their elders were at their wits' end. Who could have guessed that an imperial edict arranging their marriage would bring these two opposites together?

On their wedding night, they had a huge argument, just as expected. Mu Jue stormed out, slamming the door, only to hear a maid cry out behind him:

"Something terrible has happened! The young madam fell from the windowsill and hit her head!"

After losing her memory, Shen Qingyan tugged at his sleeve, bashful and coy. "Husband."

Mu Jue thought this was just another new game she was playing with him, and asked coldly, "What did you call me?"

Shen Qingyan blinked up at him, looking at the wedding robes he was wearing. "I'm the bride, and you're the groom. Isn't that what I should call you? Hus...band?"

Mu Jue's eyes widened in shock. Meeting her doe-eyed, bewildered gaze, he gave up resisting.

"That's right," he said, turning his face away, the tips of his ears faintly red. "Tonight... is our wedding night."

Shen Qingyan had forgotten many things, but she could still feel her heart race whenever Mu Jue came near.

Shen Qingyan, clutching her heart: I get it. This is what it means to be deeply in love. ✔️

Until one night, she remembered everything.

She remembered him trampling her flowerbeds and her tattling on him. She remembered how the two of them had fought from one end of the street to the other, until even passing dogs were afraid to intervene.

Furious, Shen Qingyan tried to shove him awake and confront him, but the arm stretched across her drew her in close with practiced ease.

"What's wrong?" Mu Jue mumbled sleepily, yawning. He sniffed her, then kissed her. "Want more?"

Shen Qingyan: ...

A strong, dependable guy x a sweet girl who's secretly sly. Childhood friends squabble like two rookies. First love for both, a fluffy little romance. The romance is the focus. The setting is entirely fictional, so don't overanalyze it, w.

Upcoming sweet romance: "Marrying the Older Brother of the Man I Love"

Blurb:

Ming Qi woke up one morning and realized three years had passed.

In the mirror, she was dressed as a married woman, with a gorgeous face and luxurious clothes. At a glance, it seemed she was living quite well.

Full of anticipation, Ming Qi asked her maid, "Did I marry my childhood friend, Lu Xi?"

He came from a wealthy and distinguished family, and he loved her sincerely. It had to be him!

The maid shook her head.

Ming Qi thought it over. "Then it must be Qi Yue, the scholar I once helped!"

His family wasn't prominent, but he'd already placed first in the palace exams. Maybe he'd risen through the ranks over the past three years?

The maid hesitated, then said another name.

Ming Qi: What?!

She had married Lu Yu, her childhood friend's older brother, the top scholar's superior, and the cold-faced devil of the Duke's household!

When she heard that she and Lu Yu had a poor marriage and had even slept in separate rooms on their wedding night, Ming Qi's vision went black.

Well, she was already married. What else could she do?

To preserve her current life of fine clothes and good food, Ming Qi decided to do something to win over her cold-faced husband. ✓

Lu Yu was born into a distinguished family and was the most proper and disciplined of men.

If his younger brother hadn't asked him, he would never have married a woman like Ming Qi, who loved luxury and was fickle in love.

For three years after their wedding, they had treated each other with icy politeness. He thought they would go on like that, living quiet, uneventful lives. He never expected her to suddenly lose her memory and start clinging to him, calling him "Husband" at every turn.

At meals, she wanted him to serve her food. On outings, she wanted to stroll arm in arm. At bedtime, she insisted on sharing his bed, pressing her cold feet against his calves.

If he dared to say a single word against it, she'd clutch her chest and look at him with tears in her eyes. "Husband... Do you really hate me?"

Lu Yu: "..."

He looked away and said sternly, "I do not."

Three years earlier, when the Pei family fell into trouble, Ming Qi, still unmarried, was implicated. To protect her, Lu Xi appealed to his always proper and composed older brother.

Lu Xi knew his request was outrageous. His heart pounded as Lu Yu sat in silence for a long time. At last, Lu Yu quietly agreed.

Overjoyed, Lu Xi rushed off to the border, determined to win an unprecedented victory and marry her once he returned.

On the day he came home in triumph, he hurried to the manor, only to see his older brother, who had never cared for romance, holding Ming Qi's hand tightly as he told him, "Come and greet your sister-in-law."

Lu Xi's eyes turned bloodshot. How could his brother have become a man who broke his promise?

Lu Yu lifted his eyes calmly. "I promised to marry her, but it was never for your sake."

"No Flirting with the Darkened Reverse Harem Heartthrob" by Xiao Mao Dai Kou Zhao

Blurb:

Yuan Shuang graduated from a prestigious university with an excellent resume, but unfortunately, she came from a poor family with no connections. Not only was she unable to pursue her ideals, she was also relentlessly pursued and coerced by the privileged elite.

At their wedding, her aristocratic husband finally got his wish and slipped a ring onto her finger. He promised, "As long as you're willing to love me, I'll do everything I can to give you a brilliant future."

Yuan Shuang agreed without hesitation.

Later, her husband's aloof, celibate older brother tried every way to seduce her, tempting her with, "You'll get tired of being with the same person all the time. You should give someone else a chance, too."

Her husband's gentle, flirtatious friend fussed over her, saying pitifully, "It breaks my heart to see you like this. Could you give me a chance to take care of you, too?"

Her husband's arrogant, pampered archenemy threw himself at her and declared, "As long as we don't get caught, we're still innocent."

Yuan Shuang thought they all made a lot of sense.

So she agreed to all of them without hesitation.
