I Accidentally Became a Disciple of the Master Spy

[Delicate, soft-bodied female spy x a seemingly frivolous young lord who keeps his true nature hidden] As a spy for the former dynasty, Wen Xia had no grand ambitions. All she wanted was to kidnap a good-for-nothing young lord and complete her assignment. Who would've thought she'd hit him a little too hard and give him amnesia? Since things had come to this, she decided to cling to the "amnesiac" young lord and say without batting an eye, "Husband, I'm your wife." As long as she could infiltrate the capital as the young lord's wife, she'd have no trouble getting information. Just as she thought her plan had succeeded, she was shocked to discover that she was the one who'd been deceived. That bastard hadn't lost his memory at all. Even more chilling, his true identity was the head of the current dynasty's spies, the cold-faced judge who would stop at nothing to wipe out the remnants of the former dynasty, including people like her! Had he faked his amnesia to use her and eradicate the former dynasty's survivors? At the thought, Wen Xia felt a chill run down her neck. To save her own skin, she used every trick in the book to keep him charmed for the time being, while packing her bags and waiting for a chance to escape. Of course, she couldn't let him get away with deceiving her. Looking at the man's handsome face and strong, narrow waist, she already had a plan. That night, she went all the way, took everything from the bastard, and ran without looking back. *, * Everyone knew Chu Heng as the dissolute heir to Prince Xin, but few knew he was also the terrifying leader of the Sheng Kingdom's spies. When he opened his eyes, he saw a beautiful woman calling him her husband in a sweet, tender voice. Years of experience as a spy told him he must have encountered one of his own. But he didn't expose her. Instead, he brought her home, acted lovey-dovey with her every day, and used the opportunity to pry information out of her. Watching her act as though her performance were flawless, Chu Heng laughed to himself. What a stupid woman. Once he'd rounded up everyone behind her, she'd be facing a hundred and eight kinds of torture. But as time passed, he began to realize that having a soft, fragrant beauty in his arms every night wasn't so bad. She was gentle and obedient. There was no harm in turning the act into reality. But just as he'd begun to fall for her, she ran off without a word! And that wasn't all. This female spy had even... humiliated him. No. This was an unforgivable grudge. If he didn't find her and repay her with interest, he, Chu Heng, wouldn't be fit to call himself a man! But when he traveled thousands of miles to find her, he saw her bite a grape offered by a handsome young man and point casually at him. "This gentleman looks rather handsome, but... a bit old." Then she turned to another young man, tender as tofu. "This one suits my taste better." Chu Heng was so furious that he struck his head by accident and truly lost his memory. He didn't remember who he was. He only remembered that his wife was called Wen Xia, that he'd lost her, and that he had to get her back by any means necessary. *, *, * Marriage first, love later, one-on-one, both leads are sexually inexperienced, happy ending.

[Delicate princess x rugged hostage prince] The Noble Consort only wanted to find her daughter a promising husband. She dragged it out until Chu Rongyu became the oldest princess still waiting to marry. Under her mother's repeated threats, she had no choice but to visit the most efficacious temple in the capital and pray for a happy match. Maybe because she hadn't been devout enough, a rough, rude man knocked the fortune-stick holder onto the ground. As luck would have it, the fall produced the best possible fortune. The Noble Consort was overjoyed, thinking her ideal son-in-law was just around the corner. But instead, she received an imperial decree of marriage: Princess Qingyang was to wed the young lord of the Wei family. Who were the Wei family? Nothing but the leaders of a border vassal state, from a barbarous land, an uncivilized people. But Chu Rongyu was quite pleased, for one reason only: he was honest and simple. On her wedding day, she was stunned to discover that her groom was the very man who'd knocked over the fortune-stick holder. He was burly and tall, with a muscular build and sun-browned skin, nothing like the refined gentleman the women of the court admired. She found that hard to accept. But later, Chu Rongyu decided that her husband's strong physique had its advantages. After all, she could never get enough of that fine waist... *, *, * Wei Shuo had come to the capital to learn useful skills so he could return home and lead his people in developing agriculture, promoting trade, and becoming self-sufficient. Instead, before he learned anything useful, he received an imperial decree of marriage and a delicate Central Plains princess. Looking at the princess's soft, fair skin, he felt a headache coming on. After all, his people on the grasslands admired physical strength. A delicate woman like her would never find a husband in their tribe. But later, Wei Shuo realized how shallow he'd been. This woman was a master at working the fields, exactly what his tribe lacked most. To strengthen his tribe and secretly learn from her, Wei Shuo became the kind of person he'd once despised most: the devoted lapdog of a delicate woman. His daily duties included, but weren't limited to, carrying water for the princess to irrigate the fields, carrying her across muddy ditches, and keeping watch through the night for her... But after all that effort, all he got was the princess's merciless dismissal: "The servants can do all that. You're making a fuss over nothing, Consort." So, on a cold winter's night, Wei Shuo made up his mind and climbed into the princess's bed wearing only a thin undergarment. No one else would steal the job of keeping her warm, right? *, *, * [Mini-scene] The capital was stiflingly hot. Wei Shuo was sweating buckets as he worked, so he simply took off his clothes and went bare-chested. Chu Rongyu quickly turned her back and scolded him repeatedly. "This is the capital, not your barbarian homeland." Wei Shuo raised an eyebrow. "Is that so? You were peeking through the crack in the window. I thought this was your sort of thing."
