“Madam, I’ll give you extra time. Make two dresses, please.”
“Two of the same evening gowns?”
At the madam’s query, Closet whispered something in her ear.
“Really? Are you serious?”
“Just get it ready. I’ll have Melba bring the next outfit.”
With a reluctant expression, the madam turned and began urging her assistants into action.
The assistants, looking like they’d been struck by lightning, busied themselves around a resigned Roselia.
Fortunately, they didn’t undress her, as Melba had provided her detailed measurements.
Exiting the salon, Closet seemed excited, while Roselia followed with a weary expression.
“I’m looking forward to it. Right? Hehe…”
A men’s evening gown wouldn’t differ much anyway.
Contrasting with Closet’s excited demeanor, Roselia looked visibly exhausted.
It was then that a familiar voice called out to Closet as they walked towards the waiting carriage of the Duke’s residence.
“Lady Closet.”
Both Closet and Roselia naturally turned towards the direction of the voice. There stood Jucid, whom they had seen before at Lady Herden’s tea party, accompanied by a male who seemed to be her domestic assistant.
Closet’s expression did not appear too pleased.
On the other hand, Jucid blushed upon making eye contact with Roselia.
Oh no… not you too…?
Jucid’s reaction, akin to that of other young ladies smitten with Roselia, left Roselia feeling awkward, especially under the fierce gaze of Jucid’s domestic assistant.
“Isn’t that Lady Jucid? What brings you here?”
“Oh, didn’t you know? I’m also a regular at this salon.”
At that moment, Closet’s expression twisted noticeably.
“Weren’t you usually frequenting the central boutiques of the commercial district, Lady Jucid?”
“Well, I switched because I find the outfits here suit me better.”
As she spoke, Jucid was also styled with an updo hairstyle, much like Closet’s.
And that wasn’t all.
Jucid was wearing the same sapphire necklace that Closet had recently favored.
Jucid’s eyes, similar to Closet’s in color, had a more bluish-gray hue compared to Closet’s clear and deep sapphire-like eyes.
Roselia frowned as she started to piece together the situation.
It seemed Jucid, while envious of Closet, also imitated everything Closet did.
“Oh, did I mention this? Recently, my brother said he would take me to the Raphelios Empire. I’ve been so busy with invitations to various parties lately.”
“Is that so…”
“Oh, and may I join you at your debutante ball with my brother?”
“……If Viscount Soho graces the event with his presence, we would be honored…”
“Surely the Duke will attend this event, right?”
“…….”
“Even if he’s busy, he’ll attend your debutante ball, won’t he? I’m already nervous at the thought of seeing the Duke.”
Roselia sighed softly, realizing the direction the conversation was taking.
It seemed Jucid, unable to best Closet in other areas, felt superior by bringing up the subject of her ‘brother’, Closet’s weak spot.
Roselia quickly turned to Closet.
“Lady, the carriage is waiting. We should hurry.”
“Ah? Oh…”
Finally escaping Jucid’s boasting, Closet heaved a sigh of relief.
“Lady Jucid, I must go now. I’ll send you an invitation, and we can meet at the Duke’s ball.”
As Closet was about to leave, Jucid added a remark.
“I’d prefer if Antonio personally delivered the invitation…”
Both Closet and Roselia turned their gaze towards Jucid.
Why me?
While Roselia looked perplexed, Closet, unlike before, glared at Jucid with obvious animosity.
“I don’t send Antonio on such errands.”
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.
