The dark night sky had gradually brightened.
I lifted my eyelids due to the harsh morning sunlight streaming in through the car window.
The aftermath of the marriage registration form that Ji Han suddenly handed over seemed to have been quite significant.
I spent another sleepless night, almost as if I hadn’t slept at all.
The cell phone placed beside my pillow lit up brightly. There was a text message from Jae Ha.
[I’ll be there on time. Do your best today. —Jae Ha]He had agreed to come to the W Group building in time for the shareholders’ meeting.
After finishing my shower, I sat down in front of the vanity.
As soon as I started applying makeup, another message appeared on the cell phone screen.
[I have an urgent matter, so I can’t pick you up. See you at the meeting. —Ji Han]
“I thought you wouldn’t come anyway.”
I murmured as I read the message.
I didn’t believe Ji Han when he said he would pick me up, knowing that he had gone straight to Seo Rin last night.
The vivid image of me sweeping his empty spot from my past life, when he never returned, still lingered.
‘That’s right… You didn’t even show up on the day of our divorce.’
This aspect wasn’t any different from the past.
A bitter smile spread across my lips as memories from the past suddenly overlapped.
The marriage wasn’t one that I had loved to death.
Although the relationship didn’t start with love, I had thought in my past life that, like other couples, we could have a child and live a life filled with affection as time passed.
‘Such a foolish and naive thought…’
“Today will be the end.”
This tiresome relationship would end along with the shareholders’ meeting.
I put down the lipstick I had been applying to my lips.
As I turned to leave, the house looked eerily empty.
The house was filled with large pieces of furniture, but the empty spaces felt especially heavy.
The space that had been my only sanctuary after losing my family and being left alone.
The newlywed house was a wedding gift left to me by my grandfather.
“I’ll be back.”
The front door closed.
As the darkened house receded through the closing door gap, it was unlike the bright world outside. Just like the relationship between Ji Han and me, which would soon become that of strangers.
Upon arriving at the W Group building, I passed a sign that read “W Group Emergency Shareholders’ Meeting” and walked down the long hallway.
It was my second time walking this path, but with different emotions, my mind was in turmoil.
As the time approached, I saw a familiar figure of a man standing in front of the closed conference room door.
“Uncle.”
Hyun Ik turned around at my call.
“Yeo Jin, will you be okay?”
In my past life, facing the shareholders’ meeting, my uncle asked me the same question.
His worried gaze was the only comfort in this desolate place.
The only person who had been grateful for being on my side.
As I held his wrinkled hand while looking at his trembling eyes, I felt warmth.
“Thank you, uncle. I’m fine.”
He licked his lips as if contemplating my words that I was fine.
“But, can you really trust that person?”
Then he asked softly about Jae Ha.
He had already heard my plan and had a worried look on his face.
Jae Ha was the eldest son of the Hojin Group, and he was born with the legitimacy of Hojin.
I could fully understand my uncle’s considerable concern about him.
“Yes. Today’s shareholders’ meeting will go well.”
Hearing my confident answer, he nodded and I gave him a faint smile.
“And instead of trusting him, trust me.”
Then I turned my back on him and took a step towards the entrance.
My hand on the door handle trembled with the voices of the shareholders coming from beyond the conference room door.
The day of the shareholders’ meeting I had longed for since my return.
It was a moment I could only dream of.
“Let’s go in.”
I would start anew here.
I would not forgive Ji Han, who betrayed me and drove me to death, nor Seo Rin.
With a deep breath, I opened the tightly closed door wide.
. . .
As I opened the door, the conference room was filled with shareholders.
It was my second time facing them, but the rising tension was inevitable.
“Nice to meet you. I am Yoon Yeo Jin.”
The once turbulent room quieted down as if the water had stopped flowing with my entrance.
I saw my nameplate, “Yoon Yeo Jin,” on the desk prepared in the center, and the person sitting next to it entered my view.
He paled and gave me a small wave, sitting in the seat next to me as if it was natural.
It was Ji Han, who would become a stranger today.
“I think you have a lot of curiosity and doubts about me.”
I vividly remembered the words of those who had been talking about me.
The persistent gazes following my naive appearance.
Various reasons why I couldn’t be a successor, such as being an announcer with no knowledge of management or being a woman.
In my previous life, I had no choice but to endure it, but now it was different.
“You must be curious about what I have, right?”
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.
