When Chen Yuan woke up, she found herself in the arms of her rival in love, Xie Chensui.
Her chest was damp, and she was saying things she couldn't understand.
"What? Did the car accident knock you silly? Weren't we just pretending? And now you can't wait?"
Chen Yuan closed her eyes in despair.
Damn mouth, kissing blindly without even looking.

Chen Yuan figured she must have been out of her mind before losing her memory to have gone and married her rival.
Xie Chensui said coolly, "You were the one who pursued me."
Chen Yuan: ?!
Why had she given up on so many goddesses?!
She couldn't take it anymore. She didn't want to spend her life with an ice queen! She was going to divorce Xie Chensui and rise up from the bottom to claim her victory!
Then she looked at her empty bank balance, yielded to reality, and quietly put her luggage back where it had been.

After enjoying the good life for a while, Chen Yuan decided to take back everything she'd said.
Actually, apart from her cold face, Xie Chensui was warm in every other way.
Chen Yuan had always thought theirs was just a simple transaction of money for sex: Xie Chensui gave her money, and she gave Xie Chensui, um...
Then her memories unexpectedly returned. She might have been living off Xie Chensui, but she was no longer the naive fool she'd once been. She had to escape Xie Chensui's clutches right away!
Before she could make a move, Xie Chensui saw through her intentions.
She looked at Chen Yuan and raised a hand. "Why didn't you tell me your memory was back?"
Chen Yuan closed her eyes, expecting a beating. Instead, Xie Chensui took her hand and guided it slowly down from her lips.
"You clearly said you liked it here... here... and here..."
She opened her eyes and heard the other woman ask sadly, "Are you really willing to leave?"
Chen Yuan's face flushed scarlet as she hurriedly pulled her hand away from the woman's upper thigh.
What a seductress...
She had no chance of escaping now.
*
Every night, after Chen Yuan fell asleep, Xie Chensui would trace her face in the darkness.
It was supposed to be a marriage of convenience, and she didn't dare hope for anything more. But fate made Chen Yuan lose her memory and forget everything that had come before.
Just this once, she would cross the line...
She closed her eyes and held Chen Yuan a little tighter.

Afterword:
A goddess invited Chen Yuan out for a meal. She had planned to enjoy being waited on hand and foot while getting this fool to help her with some things, but the person in front of her seemed distracted the whole time.
"Shh..." Chen Yuan signaled for her to be quiet. The goddess followed her gaze toward the next table and immediately understood.
So that's Xie Chensui, the one who likes me?
She should have said she wanted to show off in front of her rival. Before asking someone for a favor, it was only right to give them a little incentive.
The goddess cleared her throat and was just about to move closer to Chen Yuan when Chen Yuan fell into someone else's arms.
She watched Chen Yuan flirt with Xie Chensui as if no one else were there, her pupils contracting.
Wait, wasn't I supposed to be the protagonist? How did you two end up together?!
[Chen Yuan is a free bird who eventually lands and makes her home in Xie Chensui's arms.]
