The butler informed Prodia of the sudden visit of a guest. Once again, seeing someone who had come to visit without sending a letter, it was obvious who it was. “Could it be Copied again this time?” “Yes, miss.” Under normal circumstances, one might have found it absurd. However, for the current Prodia, there was no more welcome guest than him. It was indeed a royal official who had come to visit on his own. It was undoubtedly related to the upcoming Martial Arts Tournament. Soon, Prodia welcomed Copied in the reception room. What came out of his mouth was, of course, a story about composition. “Teacher, could you create one more song? I’ll pay the price without feeling reluctant.” Copied, who had gained fame as a composer after the opening ceremony performance, seemed to have tension built up in his neck. Although it was expected, Prodia found it so absurd that he burst into laughter. Having come again to ask for a similar request on the theme I had already stolen. Truly a shameless disciple. But in the current situation, he was actually a great help. Prodia glanced at Copied. “Why do you need another song? The opening ceremony performance is already over.” “Ah, that’s…” “Could the theme for the next competition be music?” Copied showed a startled reaction but quickly denied it, saying, “I, I don’t know much about the competition. I just need it personally. You know, these days, I’ve become quite busy.” Yes, he must have become busy because of the song I gave him. However, now that the empire is in the midst of the Martial Arts Tournament, it is prohibited to hold other performances, foolish disciple. ‘If you’re going to make an excuse, you should have come up with a plausible one.’ Prodia asked with a smile. “I see. Then, let’s hear specifically what kind of song you need.” “You said you needed a song that is both unconventional and can captivate the hearts of the public, just like last time.” Prodia barely held back a laugh again. He came because he needed a song for the competition. But isn’t it too late to come and request a song right before the competition? There must be something. Prodia initially rejected Copied’s proposal, observing his reaction. “Creation takes time, you know. Such a sudden request is a bit difficult.” Then Copied showed a desperate look. “Teacher, I’m a bit urgent this time. I can even offer you 9 to 1 this time.” What kind of situation is making him come to this extent? At that moment, an uneasy premonition crossed Prodia’s mind. ‘…Could it be.’ However, at the moment, there was no way to confirm my speculation.
To come and request the same theme that had already been stolen once, it’s truly a shameless disciple. However, in the current situation, it is actually proving to be quite helpful. Prodia glanced at Copied. “Why do you need another song? The opening ceremony performance is already over.” “Ah, that’s…” “Is the theme for the next competition about music?” Copied showed a startled reaction but quickly denied it, saying, “I, I don’t know much about the competition. I just need it personally. You know, these days, I’ve become quite busy.” Yes, he must have become busy because of the song I gave him. However, now that the empire is in the midst of the Martial Arts Tournament, it is prohibited to hold other performances, foolish disciple. ‘If you’re going to make an excuse, you should have come up with a plausible one.’ Prodia asked with a smile. “I see.

At that moment, an uneasy premonition crossed Prodia’s mind. ‘…Could it be.’ However, at the moment, there was no way to confirm my speculation. And a few days later, the five men headed to the circular arena to hear the instructions for the next competition.
“I see. Then, let’s hear specifically what kind of song is needed.”
“As you mentioned last time, a song that is unconventional and can captivate the hearts of the public… I need it.”
Prodia once again barely managed to suppress laughter.
As expected, a song is needed for the competition.
But requesting a song right before the competition, isn’t it too late?
There must be something.
Prodia, for the time being, rejected Copied’s proposal and observed his reaction.
“Creation requires time, you know. Such a sudden request is a bit inconvenient.”
Upon hearing this, Copied showed a desperate look.
“Teacher, I’m a bit urgent this time. I can even offer you 9 to 1 this time.”
Male lead is a Destined Young Husband (Female-dominant)
One-sentence summary: Wife-master, listen to my explanation!
Li Ruantang, a young lady from a prestigious family, stumbled and fell. When she woke up, she saw a noble and beautiful young man sitting by her bedside, wiping away tears.
The young master had slightly reddened eyes, and his every move exuded charm.
The sight made Li Ruantang’s eyes hot and her heart flutter. After all, she had made a bet with the young master Meng from the neighboring family. If she couldn’t marry a husband before the end of the year, she would have to admit defeat and give up the jade she had worked so hard to obtain.
Outside the window, the flowers were in full bloom.
Rather than losing the bet, the jade, and her face, Li Ruantang calculated that it would be better to seek marriage with the young master in front of her, killing three birds with one stone.
…
Meng Jun never thought that an accident during a spring outing would lead to them rolling down a cliff and into a river, yet still survive.
Now they were trapped in an unknown village, and Meng Jun had overheard that the family who had rescued them had their own intentions.
After all, it was Li Ruantang who had lost her mind and sought marriage first. He was only trying to protect himself!
Glancing at Li Ruantang, who was listing her own merits, the young husband’s voice softened, and he blushed as he lied, “W-wife-master, Wife-master, don’t you remember me?”
The young husband’s voice was clear and handsome, coaxing Li Ruantang’s heart to be soft and sweet, and she spared no effort to protect him.
It wasn’t until they returned to the capital that Li Ruantang suddenly remembered.
When they had fallen off the cliff, in order not to implicate Wei Yunruo, whom he secretly admired, the young husband had instead pulled her, who was slightly farther away, down the cliff with him…
Short summary by Yuushi L: Initially, the male lead (ML) liked another girl, while the female lead (FL) liked the ML. Both fell off a cliff. The FL temporarily lost her memory, and the ML, fearing others might take advantage of him, claimed FL was his wife while they were staying in a village.

However, during their time living together in the countryside, the ML’s view of the FL had completely changed. From this point, his pursuit of the FL begins.
