Your Scumbag Husband Lost His Memory and Remarried I’m the Most Favored Woman in the Capital Why are You Crying?

Chu Ningwan lived a life defined by her devotion to Shen Yu, the heir to the Marquis estate. In her previous existence, she forcibly restored his memories after he lost them following a battlefield accident. This act inadvertently caused the death of Su Qingyao, a woman Shen Yu had fallen in love with during his amnesia, and her unborn child. Consumed by grief and hatred, Shen Yu blamed Chu Ningwan for the tragedy, leading to a miserable marriage filled with control and resentment that ended with his death and her own. Upon dying, Chu Ningwan vowed never to have ties with him again, only to awaken back in time to the day before the memory restoration procedure was to take place.

Realizing she had been reborn, Chu Ningwan understood that her mother-in-law, Madam Shen, was the true architect of Su Qingyao’s death, having forced the pregnant woman to drink poisoned wine to hide the scandal. Determined to alter her fate, Chu Ningwan rushed to stop Divine Physician Jiang from restoring Shen Yu’s memories. However, she arrived too late; Shen Yu had already regained his memories and, possessing knowledge from his previous life, immediately chose to marry Su Qingyao. To her shock, Chu Ningwan realized that Shen Yu had also been reborn and was intent on elevating Su Qingyao, who was revealed to be the illegitimate daughter of Chu Ningwan’s father, General Chu Zhennan.

Refusing to remain a victim, Chu Ningwan severed her engagement with Shen Yu by seeking a different path. She discovered that the unconscious Prince Regent, Xiao Changyan, could be cured by her unique blood, which acted as an antidote to the gu poison afflicting him. She answered the imperial proclamation to treat him, successfully awakening him and striking a bargain: she would cure him completely in exchange for becoming the Regent Princess. This alliance provided her with the political leverage needed to protect her mother and maternal family from the schemes of her father and the Shen family.

The Prince Regent agreed to the terms, and an imperial decree was issued to dissolve Chu Ningwan’s engagement to Shen Yu and arrange her marriage to Xiao Changyan in three days. This timeline coincided exactly with Shen Yu’s planned wedding to Su Qingyao. When Chu Ningwan returned home, her father attempted to force her to accept Su Qingyao as a sister and persuade her mother to tolerate the illegitimate daughter. Chu Ningwan firmly rejected these demands, exposing her father’s infidelity and refusing to betray her mother’s feelings.

As the wedding day approached, Shen Yu remained convinced that Chu Ningwan was merely playing hard to get, unaware that she had found a powerful ally in the Prince Regent. He arrogantly assumed she would still enter his household as a concubine alongside Su Qingyao. Meanwhile, Chu Ningwan prepared for her own wedding, securing her position and setting the stage for her father’s downfall. The narrative concludes with the impending double wedding, marking a decisive shift in power as Chu Ningwan steps away from a toxic past and into a future defined by her own agency and political strength.
