I responded calmly, “It wasn’t a matter important enough for that. Just a routine exchange of courtesies to someone close to you.”
“Well, you’re not too late, so I’ll let it pass this time. But make sure it doesn’t happen again.”
Fortunately, Klaus did not probe further.
“I am grateful, Your Highness.”
Our handsome prince is generous too. How can he be so perfect in every way?
“Hmm…….”
Klaus returned to looking at his documents indifferently.
What will you do, Lumi? Your road seems a million miles long from here.
Exhausted from the stormy day, I returned to my room completely drained.
“Ugh, I’m tired.”
I started by loosening the cloth that had been compressing my chest all day. Finally, my body relaxed.
A sigh escaped me involuntarily. The thought of having to do this every day was daunting.
“Should I just reveal everything?”
I muttered irritably as I threw the cloth aside.
Half of me meant it. Lumi had already started twisting the original story, so what harm would it do if I caused a little more chaos?
But I couldn’t act impulsively.
Besides Lumi asking me to distract the female lead, there was also the fear of being imprisoned for deceiving about my gender – it wasn’t my fault I became a cross-dressing woman.
I should understand the situation better before causing trouble; otherwise, my safety might be at risk.
Moreover, I hadn’t even asked Lumi how to return to our original world.
No choice but to continue as Muzel.
“Hmm……?”
That’s when I noticed a diary on the bookshelf. Curious, I opened it and couldn’t help but chuckle. Only the first few pages were filled in; the rest was empty.
“What’s this?”
I had thought Muzel was a perfect gentleman, but he had this silly side too.
People are all the same, it seems. Muzel was no different from me, buying a fancy diary and enthusiastically writing only in January.
I put aside the uneventful diary and started looking for something else.
On the bookshelf, there were a couple of books borrowed from the library. The titles were “The Tea Culture of the Upper Nobility” and “A Guide to the Etiquette of the Capital’s Social Circles.”
“…….”
Looking at the titles, my heart ached a bit.
Muzel, a low-ranking nobleman from the countryside, had been recognized for his remarkable abilities and became an aide to the prince. Yet, he struggled to adapt to the world of the central nobles of the capital, remaining an outsider.
The woman who captivated Muzel’s heart was the main female character, Evangelin. Despite being a countess, she was a person with a free-thinking mindset who didn’t look down upon Muzel and respected him.
In the original story, Muzel showed an attitude of not being bound by the rigid customs of the social circles. But in reality, he had made his own efforts to adapt to the aristocratic society of the capital. Hence, he would have borrowed such books.
“He tried, but things didn’t go as he wished.”
I gently ran my fingers over the cover of the etiquette guide. How much must he have struggled alone? How desperately did he try to avoid being caught out for his clumsy manners?
I felt an inexplicable sense of responsibility.
I am living Muzel’s hard-earned life, temporarily borrowed from him. Therefore, I must not recklessly ruin his life and should return it to him with care.
Until Lumi and I return home, I must live diligently.
I opened the diary I had seen earlier, scarcely written in. I wrote the current date and added a brief note underneath.
This was my message to the real Muzel.
It was my resolve.
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.
