I Married the Imperial Guard Who Was Hunting Me

Synopsis: Relying on her delicate, helpless little-white-flower persona, Jiang Weiyao could always get away clean after killing someone. That is, until she discovered that someone had set his sights on her— Pei Yunheng, the infamous Commander of the Imperial Guard. He was arrogant and ruthless, cold-blooded and iron-fisted. He was merciless, unafraid of those in power, and anyone who fell under his watch was guaranteed to meet a miserable end. Fortunately, Heaven was on her side. Pei Yunheng fell off a cliff and lost his memory! With a pair of bloodstained hands wrapped around her neck, Jiang Weiyao stared at Pei Yunheng, whose gaze had been knocked clear by the fall, and an idea struck her. “I’m the daughter of a prestigious family, while you’re a down-and-out scholar. I fell hopelessly in love with you, but our elders refused to let us be together, so we had no choice but to elope for love. Who could have known that you’d accidentally hit your head and forget everything—even me…” As Pei Yunheng stared at her in stunned disbelief, his expression practically cracking apart, Jiang Weiyao burst into uncontrollable sobs. * At first, Pei Yunheng didn’t believe a word she said. Jiang Weiyao knew that perfectly well. He appeared calm and impassive on the surface, but secretly, he tested and observed her time and again. No matter. She had plenty of energy and plenty of tricks. Jiang Weiyao deliberately led him into doubting himself, then cleared up each misunderstanding one by one. Step by careful step, she laid her trap, until at last Pei Yunheng became firmly convinced that she loved him with all her heart. To support the household, Pei Yunheng worked three jobs by himself. Every morning, the moment he opened his eyes, he cooked and washed clothes. Then, with a hearty “Moo!” off he went to earn money. With his first month’s wages, he bought her a silver hairpin. Jiang Weiyao idly toyed with it, thinking: Not bad. I can keep this act going. Every day, she slept until the sun was high in the sky, enjoyed being waited on by her sworn enemy, and spent the money her sworn enemy had earned for her. Until one day, she noticed that the way Pei Yunheng looked at her was becoming darker and darker, deeper and deeper— like a snake slowly tightening its coils. His memories were returning. Jiang Weiyao panicked. That very night, she faked her death, grabbed a horse, and fled. Before leaving, she cleaned out every last bit of money in the household. The only thing she left behind was that silver hairpin. The next time she heard news of Pei Yunheng was three years later. She had settled down in a small town a hundred li away, where she heard that he had repeatedly distinguished himself in the capital, earning promotions and honors. The Emperor even intended to arrange a marriage for him. She treated everything that had happened in the past as nothing more than a dream and sighed as she pushed open the door to her home. Several Imperial Guards stood lined up in the courtyard. At the very center sat him, leisurely playing with that silver hairpin. The blazing firelight illuminated his deep, pitch-black eyes, revealing every trace of obsession, longing, and resentment hidden within them. “Madam. Long time no see.” Jiang Weiyao’s vision went black. Inside the room, a red cord swayed, and a bell rang softly. Pei Yunheng, his memories restored, gripped her neck with a large hand, the veins standing out on the back of it. His eyes were bloodshot. “We said we were hopelessly devoted to each other. So why did you leave first, Madam?” He bent down and slipped the silver hairpin into her hair. His heavy breathing trembled with emotions he could barely suppress. “If you’re going to lie to me, then lie all the way to the end.” * Pei Yunheng once believed that he was a demon devoid of the seven emotions and six desires. Until he met someone who made him willingly rebuild his flesh and blood.
