"Clever little wallflower princess x half-blood, untamed general"
"Princess tames her husband x pretending turns real" "An ancient-style cosplay romance"
Princess Shen Chutang of Rouyang has a secret no one knows.
She loves writing romance stories. Her tales are full of secrets and daring scenes, and after meeting her new husband, Xie Junxiao, inspiration comes pouring out.
Though they are practically strangers, he satisfies her in every way, both on and off the page:
First, he's a border general, strong and sturdy, and able to take a lot of rough handling.
Second, he comes from a humble family with simple ties, so he's easy to control.
Third, he's a foreign-blooded hybrid with green eyes and wheat-colored skin, exactly to her taste.
Though handsome and eye-catching, he's far too defiant to tame. Rumors have long claimed that the princess and her consort don't get along, so much so that even the Emperor has considered letting her divorce him and choose someone else.
Shen Chutang is too lazy to get to know someone new, and even less willing to let her inspiration go. So she has no choice but to make him put on a show of affection with her...
But no one can force Xie Junxiao to do anything.
The clever princess thinks hard and comes up with a plan.
She takes some memory-loss powder she's happened to come across and secretly sprinkles it into his food.

Before their wedding, Xie Junxiao didn't like Shen Chutang.
She was so talented, she must be sentimental and melancholy. She was born into wealth and royalty, so she must be bossy and demanding. She was breathtakingly beautiful, so she must...
On their wedding night, the young general, who had little experience with women, saw the princess's dark brows and snowy skin beneath her veil. His ears turned red, and he rolled out a bedroll on the floor.
She was reserved and dignified, while he was clumsy and had no idea how to please her. He tried hard to learn, but to no avail.
Then one day, he awoke with a pounding head. The princess he adored was stroking his cheek as she told him, "My husband has lost his memory."
"You've been madly in love with me for years, and only recently did your wish come true."
"Don't worry. I won't hold it against you. But you must serve me well..."
Hearing her call him "my husband" again and again, Xie Junxiao nodded in a daze.
Obeying the princess in everything was a consort's duty.

Little scene:
At first, Shen Chutang was still a little awkward around Xie Junxiao.
Later, she got hooked. But the more she played, the more she overdid it.
In a panic, she went to ask about it, only to learn that...
The memory-loss drug only lasted three days.
That night, in the Princess's Residence, Xie Junxiao cornered Shen Chutang at the edge of the bed.
The tall young man leaned over her, one hand gripping her slender, pale waist. His dark green eyes narrowed like a wolf's. "Tonight, Your Highness doesn't want to be the empress and her consort, or the master and her wicked disciple..."
"Then how about we try being princess and consort again?"
