“Jo Min Hyung’s golf was canceled that day due to a finger fracture.”
“A finger fracture? Did Manager Park say that?”
“No, CEO Kang did.”
For a moment, Seo Rin had many thoughts crossing her mind.
Kang Tae Joon resorted to violence?
The Kang Tae Joon she knew wasn’t the type to resort to violence at all. He was always tender and caring, a natural lover who thought of her before himself.
Therefore, she couldn’t even imagine him resorting to violence, but thinking about how he gave a proper punch to President Baek at the shareholder’s meeting a while ago, it was somewhat convincing.
What bothered her was that, once again, another side of Kang Tae Joon had surfaced because of her.
From the moment she heard about what happened to Min Hyung, she was swept up in rising anger, too focused on her own position. It was a moment of shame for her.
What must Kang Tae Joon have felt when he resorted to violence against Jo Min Hyung?
After taking a shower, Seo Rin sat face to face with Tae Joon in the living room. The fact that he had beaten Min Hyung so badly meant that he knew exactly who Min Hyung was, apart from that day’s mistake.
That’s why Seo Rin realized that it was time for her to explain her relationship with Min Hyung to Tae Joon clearly.
“I have something to say. About Jo Min Hyung.”
“Jo Min Hyung? Why, what did that kid say again?”
At the mere mention of Jo Min Hyung, Tae Joon’s thick eyebrows furrowed as if he had an allergic reaction.
“No, it’s not that. I just feel like I haven’t fully explained my relationship with Jo Min Hyung to you.”
“Ah…”
“We’re a married couple now, and I don’t want to hide anything from you.”
At the sound of Seo Rin’s serious voice, Tae Joon’s gaze also deepened. His dark eyes swept over her.
“I know. You and that guy were engaged.”
Yes, that’s exactly why I’m bringing this up, because that’s all you know.
“That’s not all.”
“Then?”
“Jo Min Hyung and I… we had a fake engagement.”
At those words, Tae Joon, who had been leaning back on the sofa, sat up. His eyes, which had been heavily settled, now sparkled as if he had just become interested.
“Fake? How?”
“We agreed to get engaged. When I came back from the United States and jumped into the company at a young age, I realized it wasn’t easy for a woman to survive in the hotel industry. Especially because I was born with a silver spoon in my mouth, I faced a lot of rejection. I had no choice but to devote myself to work. I think from then on, my father worried about me a lot. He wondered what would happen if I lived alone, only working like that.”
“So, it was an engagement arranged by your father?”
“No, I arranged the engagement myself. In the process of working, I had to meet a lot of people and every time, they saw me as a woman, not a business partner. They must have seen me as a naive youngster who thought I could work because I had my father’s backing. On top of that, my father’s concern added an extra spoonful, and too many proposals came in. So, I got engaged. If I had a man, as a woman with a partner, there would be less harassment. Additionally, I wouldn’t have to fight with my father about not accepting any more proposals.”
“But why did it have to be Jo Min Hyung?”
“Well, I thought he was in the same situation as me. He was the first to show interest in the engagement. He suggested that we take advantage of each other and then divorce after three years. It wasn’t a bad condition for me.”
“But he changed his mind, didn’t he?”
Tae Joon guessed what happened next, as if it wasn’t hard to figure out. And he was right.
Jo Min Hyung changed his mind. Or maybe from the beginning, it was a strategy to get an opportunity with her.
“From one day, he kept asking to meet, to date, and even attempted physical intimacy… When I refused, he started seeing other women. So, I warned him. Since we were still engaged, I told him to think of my dignity and meet other women in secret. But just because I allowed him to meet other women, it didn’t mean I permitted that outrageous sexual… I didn’t permit that.”
Seo Rin cut off her words as if she didn’t even want to put them in her mouth.
And Tae Joon understood her feelings. Although she hadn’t been a victim, the fact that she was exposed to a sexual assault crime would have made her more cautious.
“The women who sued that bastard came to find me. I was the official fiancée, so they thought I could help. But there was too little I could do. The evidence the women had was too insufficient. At that time, I thought they were recklessly foolish women, but now that I’m in their shoes, I understand.”
“……”
“In that situation, anyone would become reckless.”
“……”
“So, I broke off the engagement. Publicly, I used his infidelity as the reason for the breakup.”
“I understand.”
Tae Joon, who had been quietly listening, nodded his head. But Seo Rin had not yet broached the main point.
She looked at him and carefully opened her mouth.
“I… I didn’t sleep with him, Tae Joon.”
At the unexpected words, Tae Joon’s eyes widened.
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.
