The ancestors of the Si and Xiao families shared a life-and-death bond.
The two families maintained close ties and frequent interactions.
One day, the Emperor was struck by inspiration and issued an edict to arrange a marriage between the families, hoping to strengthen their alliance.
Si Jin’s parents were overjoyed as if their ancestral graves had sprouted smoke.
But Si Jin was filled with rebellious thoughts she dared not voice.
In the end, she could only mutter a sullen “I won’t marry,” which made her mother weep into her handkerchief and her father sigh while clutching the imperial decree.
With no other choice, Si Jin reluctantly sought out Xiao Rong.
They eventually reached an agreement, with Xiao Rong inexplicably proposing that they must pretend to be an affectionate couple in public.
The truth eventually came to light.
The unreasonable imperial marriage had been requested by Xiao Rong.
The need to pretend to be an affectionate couple was fabricated by Xiao Rong.
Even the personal belongings she kept losing had been stolen by Xiao Rong.
Everything had been meticulously orchestrated by Xiao Rong.
He deceived her, schemed against her, threatened her, determined to keep her by his side forever.
Terrified, Si Jin immediately fled.
But she encountered misfortune outside and lost her memory after escaping danger.
When Si Jin woke up, she saw a completely unfamiliar face.
She asked him: “Who are you?”
The man told her: “I’m your husband. Don’t you remember?”
Si Jin shook her head in confusion, shrinking her shoulders uneasily.
Excitement surged in his eyes, but he masked it entirely with a sorrowful expression.
He drew her close and comforted her gently: “Don’t be afraid. I’ll help you remember slowly.”
