Why are you accompanying me to the gate? My mind began to race again.
Had the disciple ever accompanied me to the gate in my previous life?
Ah, yes. It seems like he did a few times. Not many, though.
In my past life, I thought that every time the disciple did so, he was yearning for affection from me.
The kind of affection full of trust that ordinary masters and disciples share.
But now, I don’t know. The disciple I taught back then was already a crafty serpent who had reincarnated several times.
Why did he occasionally accompany me? Me, who he claimed had killed him several times?
And besides, come to think of it, it’s really strange. If the disciple had reincarnated several times, why did he always die at my hands?
Couldn’t he have avoided me after reincarnating just once? Did he keep me close to take revenge but always end up being counterattacked?
“Let’s go.”
Making people confused, the disciple calmly urged.
I had no reason to refuse. Reluctantly, I nodded, and we went outside.
The weather was good, unlike my mood.
But as I walked side by side with the disciple in the yard, intending to go to the main gate, a palace maid named Giyang called to me.
“Uh… Your Lordship.”
Wondering what it was, I turned to look, and she handed me something wrapped in yellow paper, saying,
“I want to give you this.”
“What is it?”
But as the 13th prince was making me anxious, I asked without taking it, and Giyang blushed and said,
“You helped me last time, didn’t you? I’m so grateful, but I have no way to repay you. So I made some night snacks myself.”
I helped Giyang? Did something like that happen? I had no idea.
But refusing would seem strange. In my previous life, I acted like a flirt, and thanks to that, I often received gifts from women.
Although there were few who wanted to develop a serious relationship with me, many wanted to become comfortable friends.
“Thank you, ma’am.”
I took the bundle of snacks, keeping an eye on the 13th prince.
Then, as I turned to go, I realized this had been too formal.
In my previous life, I would have made some nonsense comments here to maintain my reputation as a playboy.
So, in this life, I should also make some nonsense comments. If I act too differently, the disciple will suspect my reincarnation.
“Ma’am Giyang is really considerate. Every time I find you so charming, I fall for you and my heart aches. Do you know that?”
Half jokingly, Giyang burst into laughter.
This should be enough, I thought, but I babbled a few more nonsense comments.
But just as Giyang was laughing and about to respond,
A snort of laughter came from one step ahead of us.
A sudden sound of laughter, a ‘pfft.’
Wondering what the sound was, I looked to the side, and the disciple was staring at me as if amused.
“Why are you doing that?”
His reaction was strange, and I was subtly annoyed. Even though I knew I had to put on a show, I asked with a slightly trembling voice.
Giyang also stopped responding to me and looked at the 13th prince.
“Ah, it’s nothing.”
The disciple smiled broadly and shook his head, then looked down at me with a strange look in his eyes and added,
“You think too highly of the master, considering him to be too lascivious. You speak lightly.”
(This is a time separator.)
What did he mean?
Before regressing, I acted frivolously and lightly to conceal my male disguise.
Thanks to that, my disguise was not discovered, but my reputation concerning women was not good.
But no matter what others said to me, the disciple never once argued with me about my personal reputation. Not even once.
Why then, did he openly criticize me this time, saying, “You speak lightly”?
It can’t be because I’m friendly to his maids. I’ve always been close to his maids.
Is it just because I’m annoying? Is he so upset with me that he boils inside just by seeing me smile?
Very likely. I boil inside just by seeing that bastard smile too. He probably boils even more.
Damn it. After finishing the lesson and going home, why can’t I get that damned disciple out of my mind when I’m alone?
In my previous life, I prioritized family matters and thought about the disciple only minimally.
Now that I fear him, my mind is filled with thoughts about him. It’s absurd.
Did my disciple feel the same way? Did he continue to live, thinking I killed him?
Did he leave me till the end while dealing with many enemies? To kill me happily at the end?
Suddenly, I thought about changing this life according to my will, just like the disciple.
But I soon shook my head. Thanks to that damned disciple, I had already reached the top in my past life.
If the disciple hadn’t killed me, I would have smoothly ascended to the Supreme Being position after accumulating experience.
Even if I change the past as much as I want, unless I rebel, I cannot rise any further. Unlike the royal disciple, I didn’t have the strength to rebel.
Knowing the future is not only useless to me.
No. What use is knowing the future? To conceal my regression, I cannot avoid the bad things scheduled in the future.
If I change the future to my advantage, the disciple will realize that I’ve regressed. Then he will try to kill me sooner.
Despite regressing, sadly, the only thing I can do in this life is to treat the disciple well to suppress his resentment.
Of course, even if I do that, there’s a high possibility that the disciple’s resentment won’t disappear completely, so I must prepare to flee.
I’ll carefully watch the disciple’s mood, treat him well, and when it seems like he’s about to become emperor, I’ll tactfully resign and hide.
“That’s right. I must prepare about ten hiding places in advance.”
I had a few academic friends who were packed with information on that subject. I’ll have to get their help.
My Arch-enemy Sealed My Memory and Said That He is My Husband
This is an incredibly captivating story that you absolutely shouldn’t miss! I’ll give a brief introduction here, and below you’ll find a detailed synopsis of the plot.
The female lead is a fierce and powerful demon king. The male lead is a once-in-a-millennium celestial lord, admired by the entire cultivation world.
They are equally matched, legendary rivals who have battled for centuries.
In the final duel, the female lead is gravely injured. The male lead saves her, seals her memories, and hides her true identity. He tells her that he is her fiancé. His entire life has been flawless—except for the one thing he never expected, never controlled, and never wanted to control: falling for his greatest enemy. She is his inner demon, his obsession.
When the female lead regains her memories, she is furious at his deception.
She makes his life a living hell.
And somehow, the male lead—possibly a total masochist—doesn’t mind at all. In fact, he’s happy she’s paying attention to him.
Yep, we’re back to my favorite trope: male lead suffering. If you love this kind of story, jump into the pit with me now!!!
Intro
Dong Xia lost her memory.
Her handsome and extremely powerful fiancé Li Qing comforted her: “It’s okay if you can’t remember. I’ll always be with you.”
Everyone thought Dong Xia’s ancestors must have burned incense to get such a perfect fiancé. He was the number one person in the immortal realm, yet he remained chaste and only loved her.
…
The day before marrying her fiancé, Dong Xia finally remembered everything.
She wasn’t suffering from memory loss at all.
Her arch-enemy had made her fake her death, destroyed her cultivation, replaced her memories, and pretended to be her deeply in love fiancé.
No wonder he said, “It’s okay if you can’t remember”!
Dong Xia laughed coldly as she pulled out her long knife: Li Qing, prepare to die 🙂
*
Li Qing, as the supreme being of the immortal realm, was the people’s shining beacon.
The only unknown stain in his life was his affection for Dong Xia, the ruler of the demon realm.
In the final battle of the war between immortals and demons, the sky collapsed and the earth shattered. The ruler of the demon realm was finally slain under the sword of the supreme being of the immortal realm, and everyone in the immortal realm applauded.
The cultivation world lost a ruler of the demon realm.
And in the back mountain of Li Qing’s cave dwelling, he secretly hid away a fiancée.
Notes:
1. The female lead is white on the outside, black on the inside, and the queen of flattery; the male lead repeatedly tests the edge of darkness, a VIP guest at the crematorium.
