After Losing My Memory, I Was Forcibly Married by My Sworn Enemy and Taken Over

A pitiful young woman with amnesia is deceived, falling for an obsessively possessive and dark crown prince. This story features a "Chase Wife Crematorium" plot, forced marriage and seizure of power, and a runaway with a child.

Ruan Yang has fair skin, dark hair, and a beautiful face, but she was born into commoner status and is simple by nature. Her life only improved when she became the concubine of a wealthy man.

Ning Xian cherished her, protected her, and loved her. They spent three sweet years intimately, truly devoted to each other in their small bamboo house. After a night of passion, she lay in his warm embrace, feeling that if things could continue like this, her life would be complete.

But fate is unpredictable. Her husband did not return for several months, and everyone said he must have met with misfortune. She wiped away her tears, intending to raise her child alone and dedicate her life to a Buddhist temple when she heard the old nanny beside her say:

"The young master said Ruan is lowly and unworthy to be the child's birth mother. If she indeed has a child, it will be given to someone else to raise after birth."

"How pathetic. She probably doesn't even know that the young master isn't dead at all. She's just usurped another's place. Tomorrow, the new mistress will move in. The young master hasn't returned for so long simply to avoid her!"

Ruan Yang didn't believe it until the next day when she saw a young woman slowly disembark from her husband's carriage. Only then did she realize that all their past vows were mere illusions. In Ning Xian's eyes, she was humble and lowly, to be discarded once he tired of her.

She swallowed the tears welling in her eyes, took a dose of miscarriage medicine that night, and drove away alone. When she opened her eyes again, Ruan Yang was back in her true home. Recovering her memory, she discovered she was not a hunter's daughter at all. She was the daughter of the powerful Jiedushi (military governor), whose family commanded hundreds of thousands of soldiers, and whose aunt was the current Empress.

Love, to her, was merely fleeting, an embellishment. The man who had once betrayed her was no longer important. Years passed, and Ruan Yang married her childhood sweetheart as she wished, living happily with Young Master Lu. Just when she thought her life would continue this way forever, she caught sight of a cold, terrifying gaze in the corner.

...

Ning Xian was born with a cold disposition and was never sincere with anyone, let alone the daughter of his mother's killer. Yet, with just a little provocation, the woman's cheeks would flush. Unfortunately, Ruan Yang was merely an insignificant passerby in his life, and he never considered a future with her.

But he didn't know when he started to linger over the clothes she sewed and the pastries she made. He thought, since she was so devoted to him, what harm was there in showing a little more pity? But it was too late. The night before he returned home, he learned that Ruan Yang had been framed, and her carriage, with her inside, had plunged into a ravine.

Overnight, the capital ran with blood. Ning Xian ordered his men to scour the world to find her body. But karma was swift; his search for his wife yielded nothing. Then one day, as he went to the cemetery to mourn his deceased wife, Yangyang, he glimpsed a young woman on the opposite bank, smiling gently as she wiped someone's sweat, carefully protecting her slightly swollen belly.

Ning Xian froze for a long moment, trembling all over, completely engulfed by jealousy. On her wedding night, as the red candles burned down, he led his troops into her home, abducted Ruan Yang, and forced the groom in his wedding attire to watch his scandalous night with Ruan Yang.

At this moment, Ruan Yang still didn't know that their ill-fated entanglement had only just begun. This madman would be a cage from which she could never escape for the rest of her life.
