“Your daughterinlaw came straight from school, right? The traffic must have been terrible. I should have contacted her earlier. I’m sorry.”
Fearing that Soonrye would lash out at Yoon again, Yu Hyun quickly took her out of the living room.
“No, is your father around?”
Yoon cautiously opened her mouth, cooling her flushed face with the back of her hand.
“He’s in the study. You can go with me to greet him.”
“Yes, thank you.”
Thinking about facing Chairman Cha’s cold face made Yoon anxious, but she was a bit relieved when Yu Hyun said he would go with her.
Knock Knock!
“Father, your daughterinlaw is here.”
Upon opening and entering the study door, Chairman Cha was having a conversation with two young men.
“Hello.”
Yoon bowed in greeting. Chairman Cha glanced at her once before his face turned into a displeased expression.
“Why did you call her here? She didn’t need to come.”
Chairman Cha frowned.
“On the day of the ritual, it’s only natural for your daughterinlaw to be here.”
In the face of Chairman Cha’s cold rebuke, Yu Hyun’s face turned red with embarrassment.
“Your daughterinlaw needs to greet you.”
Then, seeing the men just blankly staring at her, Yu Hyun gestured with his eyes towards them.
“Hello.”
At Yu Hyun’s words, they merely nodded their heads. They were Soonrye’s son and soninlaw. Both of them worked at the Woo Sung Academic Foundation.
“What kind of attitude is that when greeting?”
At Yu Hyun’s remark, the two men awkwardly got up and greeted her again.
“Did Kang Hyun also come?”
Soonrye’s son asked Yu Hyun.
“Kang Hyun said he’d come after the shooting ended, so your daughterinlaw came first.”
Then Yu Hyun carefully closed the study door. Looking back at Yoon who was tense, Yu Hyun gave her an apologetic look.
“It may be uncomfortable, but I thought you should attend family matters, so I contacted Kang Hyun. And if you, the daughterinlaw, come more often, eventually… it will get comfortable. I think my father is acting like this because he’s not yet used to his daughterinlaw, so don’t take it to heart.”
However, Yu Hyun himself was taken aback as he did not expect Chairman Cha to speak so harshly.
“Yes, I should have known beforehand, I’m sorry.”
“No, your motherinlaw should have been here to take care of you, the daughterinlaw, but it seemed to be the case since only the men were present. But indeed, you must be hungry since you came right after work.”
Thanks to Yu Hyun’s warmth, the wounds Yoon had received from Chairman Cha’s indifference felt slightly diluted. She had only seen Yu Hyun a few times, but his good impression comforted people’s hearts.
“It’s okay. Then, I’ll go to the kitchen.”
“There are people working there, so you don’t need to push yourself.”
“Yes, thank you.”
Yoon bowed politely to Yu Hyun and went into the kitchen, and Yu Hyun sighed as he watched her retreating figure.
‘Kang Hyun needs to come soon.’
Looking at Yoon’s shrunken figure, Yu Hyun regretted unnecessarily calling her.
When Yoon walked into the dining room, Soonrye’s daughterinlaw and daughter were there. They were sitting at the table, enjoying snacks. In contrast, on one side of the kitchen, the employees were busy moving around.
“Hello.”
Yoon approached them and greeted.
“Did you come?”
“Yes.”
Soonrye’s daughterinlaw, Sun Young, put down her coffee cup and greeted her.
“You came pretty fast.”
This time, Soonrye’s daughter, Jae Jin, shot back sarcastically.
“I’m sorry.”
“If you’re so sorry, why don’t you come over and help? How can a daughterinlaw not know about the ancestral rites? It’s frustrating.”
Jae Jin was being sarcastic. At the wedding, she had even taken the trouble to visit the bridal room and picked a fight about how temporary teachers were like this and illegitimate children were like that. Since Yoon didn’t respond, she ended up leaving after having talked to herself.
Even this time, Yoon didn’t particularly respond to her words. There were times when it was better to be indifferent to someone who didn’t need to be engaged with.
Yoon put down her bag and headed towards the sink.
“Madam, please sit down. I’ve done most of the things, so there’s not much left for you to do.”
The Princess, Gong Joo Dae, stopped her.
“Let her be. It’s only natural for a daughterinlaw of this household to prepare the ancestral rites food.”
Jae Jin’s sharp comment came flying in.
“I’ll help.”
Yoon tied an apron and started to roll up her sleeves. She felt more comfortable working.
While she was working, the two were sitting at the dining table and chattering. In some ways, it could be said that the relationship between the sistersinlaw was quite good.
“You’re working at Soo Ra High School?”
After babbling for a while, Jae Jin elegantly put down her tea cup and suddenly started talking to Yoon.
Jae Jin was a teacher at Nuri High School, which was a part of the Woo Sung Academic Foundation, where Chairman Cha was a foundation director and her mother, Soon Rye, was a board member.
Just as Soon Rye was worried, Jae Jin was also concerned about Yoon being a teacher. It irked her that Soon Rye hadn’t yet secured the position of foundation director and Yoon, the wife of her cousin, was entering as a teacher.
“Yes.”
Yoon, who was cleaning a bowl with a clean cloth, responded.
“That neighborhood is a bit…right?”
Jae Jin asked, a scoff in her voice.
“Yes?”
Yoon, puzzled by what was being said, put down the bowl and turned around.
“That neighborhood is a bit rundown, isn’t it? And there are lots of problem students, right? Considering what their parents are like, it’s expected.”
At Jae Jin’s words, Yoon’s expression immediately hardened.
“What are you talking about?”
Yoon’s voice dropped. The words were so vulgar that she had no choice but to question if she had misheard.
“That school hardly sends anyone to prestigious universities, right? I guess that’s to be expected when the parents can’t provide any support.”
Seeing Yoon’s twisted expression, Jae Jin intentionally added fuel to the fire.
“That neighborhood was, in the past……”
“The parents of our school’s students are people who live their lives to the best of their ability. The students are kind and diligent in their studies. On what basis are you saying such things?”
Unable to tolerate Jae Jin’s words any longer, Yoon cut her off and stared at her straight in the eye. She couldn’t stand it any longer when she started insulting the parents after the students.
“I’m just saying that’s what the neighborhood is like.”
“That’s not true. So, please discard such strange prejudices.”
Taken aback by Yoon’s cold rebuttal, Jae Jin, who had seemed so naive, was momentarily lost for words, and in that gap, Seon Young interjected.
“Dong Seo, she’s not entirely wrong, why are you getting so upset?”
“Because she is wrong.”
Yoon thought of her students who, despite being tired from exams and evaluations, would still smile at her. They were kids who had no reason at all to be labeled as troublemakers living in a backward neighborhood.
“You said you’re a teacher, how can you say such things? Is this how you judge and guide your students?”
Although Yoon’s face turned red, perhaps from her excitement, her voice remained firm.
“What? Are you scolding me right now?”
Jae Jin abruptly stood up from her seat.
“Yes, you should be scolded.”
At that moment, they heard Kang Hyun’s cold voice. With a stern face, he was walking into the kitchen.

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.
