After contemplating for a few days, Hayeon ultimately accepted Minje’s proposal. No matter how much she thought about it, there seemed to be no better option in her situation.
After finishing her last part-time job, Hayeon packed her belongings and headed to Jihu’s house late in the evening.
“Come in quickly.”
“Sister!”
Prearranged to wait, the housemaid Miran and Jihu welcomed her with bright smiles.
“Please take care of me.”
After bowing in greeting, she followed Miran into the room.
“If there’s anything uncomfortable, don’t hesitate to tell me.”
“Thank you. You can speak casually.”
“Alright, should I?”
Smiling, Miran immediately began talking. In her mid-50s, Miran seemed to have a pleasant personality.
Entering the room Miran had guided her to, Hayeon looked around. Wow, she couldn’t help but let out a sigh.
The space allocated for her to use included a king-sized bed, a desk, a dressing room, and a small bathroom.
‘It’s much better than the one-room I used to live in.’
Hayeon looked down at the large suitcase she had brought. She had finished packing, but there was only one suitcase, making her feel quite flustered. It was a story that couldn’t help but be both funny and sad.
Throwing the suitcase down carelessly, Hayeon went straight to Jihu’s room.
“It’s so great that my sister is going to live with us.”
“Do you really think so?”
Holding a face filled with smiles, Hayeon lightly stroked the child’s round forehead.
Then, she picked up a book from the shelf.
“I’ll read you a book, little one. It’s time for good kids to go to dreamland.”
“Okay.”
The child replied solemnly. Looking at the sparkle in his eyes, it seemed he was not expecting to fall asleep but rather looking forward to how she would read the book. Chuckling, Hayeon, with a face full of smiles, slowly began reading the book.
“It was a December morning when white snow fell heavily. Jamie, who looked at the world that had turned white, couldn’t be as happy as before. Because…”
After several questions and responses, the child’s voice was no longer heard. Instead, there was a regular and steady sound of breathing.
‘So that’s why people say sleeping children are like angels.’
After gently kissing Jihu’s forehead, Hayeon quietly left the child’s room.
Gurgle.
But now, her stomach growled loudly. Only now did Hayeon remember that she had skipped dinner.
On the first day here, she couldn’t possibly rummage through the kitchen like she owned the place. What should she do now?
Sighing, Hayeon was about to head to her room when her eyes met with Minje in a large portrait.
‘Ah, it startled me.’
She should be careful from now on. Because she genuinely felt her heart race as if their eyes had met.
A bit annoyed, Hayeon placed her hands on her waist and glared at the portrait.
“Are you satisfied with yourself?”
However, looking at the portrait oozing with more than just sexiness, it seemed that being good-looking was all it had. Ugh, in this dirty world where appearance is everything!
She could no longer suppress the intensifying emotions and, pointing her finger, scolded the portrait.
“No matter how busy you are, that’s not the point. You should come until your son falls asleep!”
Kang Minje has his favorite celebrity, and disappointment is disappointment. Hayeon, who saw a disappointing side of him as a father from the first day, snorted with displeasure, and someone behind her responded.
“That’s truly regrettable.”
Hayeon quickly blinked her eyes, suspecting her ears.
That can’t be. Why can I hear Kang Minje’s voice? Is it because I’ve been thinking too much that I’m hearing things?
With a squeak like a malfunctioning machine, Hayeon turned her head quickly. Then, leaning against the wall, she met the gaze of a pair of eyes staring at her.
‘Oh my goodness! Is this for real?’
Compared to the eyes in the portrait, the eyes facing her directly were so deep and sharp that her entire body stiffened like it wouldn’t move.
“H-Ha, ha, ha. There’s a drama I’ve been into lately. I tried quoting a famous line from the drama.”
Inwardly cursing at her poor excuse, Hayeon rolled her eyes, wondering how to avoid this crisis.
“Oh, really?”
As Minje mechanically responded, Hayeon, feeling embarrassed, quickly spoke to leave.
“T-Then, I’ll be going now…”
Grrrrrr.
Of all times, a tremendous noise resonated from her stomach.
“How many days have you been starving?”
With a slightly tilted head, he asked in a muffled voice. Perhaps due to his changed mood, his sharp gaze suddenly softened.
Feeling embarrassed, Hayeon, with a reddened face, awkwardly replied.
“Oh, no. I only didn’t eat dinner tonight.”
Seemingly incomprehensible, his head tilted even more than before.
“Wait a moment.”
After saying that, Minje cautiously opened and entered Jihu’s room. It was only then that Hayeon realized he had come to see the sleeping Jihu.
Minje approached the sleeping child, suppressing the sound of footsteps.
Sitting on the edge of the bed, he looked down at the child sleeping like an angel and gently stroked the child’s forehead.
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.
2. Fantasy cultivation world setting.
