I Woke Up to Find My Mortal Enemy, the Princess, Had Become Empress?

When he woke up, Lu Jing, heir to the Duke of Dingguo, found himself lying on the bed of his sworn enemy, the reigning Empress Xiao Qingyin. Even more shocking, seven years had quietly passed. He had become an incompetent emperor notorious throughout the land for his debauchery, yet he had lost every memory of those crucial seven years. With urgent military reports and impeachment petitions piling up on one side, and empty treasury coffers and layers of mystery on the other, he had to break the deadlock. He staked his life on raising five hundred thousand in military funds within seven days. From then on, he ruthlessly reformed the inner court and launched a sweeping investigation into the imperial merchants. At the heart of a web of conspiracies, he struck without hesitation, raided a powerful family’s estate by night, and uncovered irrefutable evidence, shaking the entire court. Just as he cleared his name and regained power, war flared again on the northern frontier. He volunteered for the campaign and set off for the border. Faced with exhausted troops and arrogant, hard-to-control generals, he earned their respect with his expertise and decisiveness. With the enemy at the gates and the court obstructing him, he and the Empress worked together from within and without, devising one ingenious plan after another. They set Eaglebeak Pass ablaze and tricked the Royal Guard into their trap. In the end, they won through persuasion, forcing the Northern Di to submit without a fight and sue for peace. His triumphant return was not the end of a golden age. A massive corruption scandal erupted in Jiangnan, grain shipments were cut off, and disaster victims went hungry... The unseen hands behind it all had never stopped moving. What truth and deep feelings lay hidden in the memories he had lost? See how the amnesiac emperor Lu Jing rises from the brink of ruin to command the tides of power, cleanse the court, and join forces with Empress Xiao Qingyin to repel foreign enemies. Once they unravel seven years of misunderstandings, their love only grows stronger. In the end, they stand side by side, surveying the realm and ushering in a peaceful age for generations to come.
