Forbidden Love

Synopsis

I was the "fake princess" despised by the entire realm, and also the current Crown Prince's wife. Everyone had been waiting for him to abandon me. Yet year after year passed, and the Crown Prince only grew more deeply in love with me. Until the day he fell from a cliff and lost his memory. He forgot that I was the younger sister he had cherished for seventeen years. He forgot how he defied all moral order to keep me by his side. He forgot all the entangled love and hatred between us. He even forgot that we had a three-year-old child. The entire court rejoiced. The Emperor and Empress acted without hesitation: With a single imperial decree and a divorce edict, they erased me and the child from his world completely. It was clear how much the Emperor and Empress despised me, even abandoning their only grandson. Within half a day, my child and I were sent out of the capital. The carriage jolted along the road. I was still in a daze. After being confined for so long, sudden freedom felt unreal. It was so light it almost made breathing feel unfamiliar. I took my child and changed our identities, heading south to live in hiding. I opened an inn and learned to live an ordinary life. The noise of the streets, warm bread and coffee... I thought my life would end like this. Until that day, when I went to pick up my child from the school as usual, someone suddenly blocked my way, holding a blade. The man's voice was low, but carried an undeniable authority. "You have two choices." "Either become my woman and enjoy a lifetime of honor and wealth." "Or die…" I looked at the familiar man in front of me and stunned. Good. He might have lost his memory, but his madness hadn't changed at all.
