“We are in a relationship, with the premise of marriage.”
She couldn’t respond immediately to those words. Understanding this dizzying situation came first.
Struggling to calm her breathing, Seo Woo asked.
“First, where are we?”
Whether it was a proposal or just a date, she had to know where she was hearing it.
The CEO stood up from his seat and headed to the window. After a brief silence, he turned back.
“We are at the hotel where you and Eun Seo Woo had dinner yesterday. A topfloor suite that uniquely uses the same elevator as the restaurant.”
Yesterday.
That meant she had spent the night here.
“…Did I fall asleep after drinking wine?”
Although she didn’t want to confirm the truth, she bravely asked. She felt like she already knew the answer, even without hearing it.
How dark and beautiful the shameful past was that she was writing in front of the CEO. She still couldn’t log out of the world. This was indeed a regrettable reality.
“When I returned, Eun Seo Woo was asleep on the table and wouldn’t wake up. From the empty wine bottle, it seemed like you fell asleep drunk. Do you need an injection?”
“…I don’t usually fall asleep like that.”
Suddenly, she blushed as heat rushed to her cheeks.
It was like screaming “I’m not really this dumb” after messing up a test by cramming at the last minute and seeing the pathetic score on the floor. Who would believe her?
“Your mobile phone, Eun Seo Woo, wasn’t visible.”
She had left her mobile phone in the shopping bag inside her locker when she changed into dry clothes in the afternoon. She had realized this on the subway on her way to the hotel after work. It was too late to go back.
She couldn’t be late for ‘dinner with the CEO’ just to fetch her mobile phone.
“I had no way to contact your family. Knowing it would be rude, I had no choice but to bring you here. This was the only place where we could spend the night unnoticed. Today is the weekend, so you don’t have to worry about going to work.”
So, I was carried into a hotel room by a man, now, after getting drunk? And not just any man, but the CEO?
Seo Woo instinctively checked her clothes. Thankfully, she was still wearing the dress from yesterday.
That wasn’t the issue. What did the CEO say? He didn’t propose a relationship, did he? She still didn’t understand what was going on.
Life that she thought would reset with drinking wine had gone seriously awry. She had completely entwined with the president, and in a way she had never even thought of.
“Let me clarify, to avoid misunderstandings, Eun Seo Woo alone slept in this room. Han Secretary carried Eun Seo Woo, and we came up to the room together. After that, Han Secretary and I immediately left, so you don’t have to worry.”
“Ah, yes. Thank you for saving me… but why did you come back here?”
“I had something to say, so I came back.”
“That is…”
“Let’s date.”
“Ah…”
As if she had heard something she shouldn’t have heard again, Seo Woo slightly furrowed her brows. The president asked with a face that he couldn’t understand her reaction.
“Weren’t you interested in me?”
Seo Woo felt like she had been hit by a direct hit. Contrary to the complex emotions she was feeling, the president’s question was so simple that it was refreshing. Why is everything so simple to this man?
“Mr. President, that’s…”
“First of all, that Eun Seo Woo likes me. That she was falling for my bad ways.”
Ugh. Who would understand the feeling of getting that phrase back from your ‘ultimate favorite’. He remembered everything that happened in the lounge, and he knew it was her.
“It was impressive. And…”
“…”
“I want to marry that kind of Eun Seo Woo.”
“Wait, no, wait a minute.”
Seo Woo shook her head and reached out her hand.
Calm down. This crazy president.
“Marry?”
“Have you never wanted to?”
“No, it’s not that I haven’t imagined it.”
Seo Woo swallowed her breath and continued her words.
“Since I’ve imagined it, it’s even more impossible. My liking for you is just… It’s a different world. A person who would never intertwine. Just like liking a celebrity…”
“There’s no law that says you can’t marry a celebrity.”
“That’s right. There are cases where a fan and a celebrity get married… No, that’s not it. You and I can never be together.”
“Why not.”
As if he didn’t like it, the president asked. Seo Woo gave up and blurted out.
“I don’t want to be Cinderella. The fact that you’re a chaebol’s son and I’m a normal house’s daughter, isn’t that too oldfashioned a relationship setting? Me and someone like you overcome all obstacles and achieve love and live happily, I’m not the style to dream such a hollow dream.”
The corner of the president’s mouth rose slightly. It looked like he was enjoying it…
“Then what type of dreams does Miss Eun Seo Woo have?”
For the first time, he asked about her. Despite feeling like she was shrinking, Seo Woo tried her best to respond clearly.
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.
