“Writer, you seem to have lived your life really well. I’ve been meticulously monitoring, but there haven’t been any negative comments yet.”
The night before the first broadcast, Bong-gi, who turned on the TV as soon as he entered the accommodation, casually uttered words. Jiho, who had taken off his clothes as soon as he entered, responded mildly. A subtle smile appeared on his fatigued face after 16 hours of shooting.
“If you look at the few articles that have been posted about our alumni, they’re all compliments. Beautiful, good at studying, kind, popular among men…”
“I was popular?”
The hand holding the stripped school uniform vest paused. Jiho looked at Bong-gi with interest.
“Do you only hear things like that?”
In Bong-gi’s scrutinizing gaze, Jiho only laughed lightly. To everyone he met outside the door and even to his family, he became someone who was accepted at some point. Among those who throw words at me, Bong-gi was the only one.
Of course, Hye-yoon’s way of speaking was more of a gentle teasing than throwing words.
Whatever it was, they were the two people Jiho felt most comfortable and thankful for.
“When we go out for the first broadcast, I’m thinking of going out first and doing some public relations with a good article.”
“No, don’t do that.”
“Why?”
Bong-gi, sitting on the bed, looked at Jiho. The first broadcast was approaching tomorrow, and the reactions were expected to be like a tidal wave. Although Jiho knew who he cared about the most, he didn’t know how to help.
In front of the most important issue, Bong-gi’s eyes deepened. Jiho, too, with his hands loosening the shirt, stopped abruptly.
“Just… as quietly as possible. Just pay attention to negative articles and take them down.”
Even after finishing speaking, Jiho’s hand was still stiff on the shirt. Bong-gi also pondered his answer slowly. As quietly as possible. Although his heart felt light because he knew exactly what Jiho wanted, it was not easy.
‘Not as “An Jiho’s girlfriend” but as her own name tag. Quietly.’
“While we can somehow upload and take down articles… Being quiet is impossible, you know?”
“…”
“Writer, you have to toughen up your heart a bit too. If you start making noise everywhere… you’ll definitely get hurt.”
Jiho, with a heavy head as his heart, nodded slightly. Then, he started unbuttoning again. As the shirt lifted on the vest, Bong-gi also slowly stood up.
“Anyway, I’ll try my best as much as possible. Quietly… Let’s try that. Let’s see who wins.”
“Yeah. Thank you.”
There was no excitement or tension before the first broadcast. Sharing a considerable camaraderie, Jiho turned his body into the shower room. Then, Bong-gi, who had a remote control in his hand, was about to turn off the TV. When he added one more number to the boring news channel, a new channel and a new screen appeared.
A familiar man in the new screen. Not entirely welcome.
“Mr. Dohyuk, this movie has surpassed 5 million.”
“Yes. Thank you for the great support.”
Bong-gi’s hand, about to change the channel again, stopped. A well-groomed face was making a fairly refined voice.
“5 million? Jung Representative must be having a tough time.”
The one who grabbed Jiho’s foot as he was about to enter the shower was Bong-gi’s voice rather than Dohyuk. It seemed inappropriate to use the large figure of 5 million audiences.
Jiho turned towards Bong-gi.
“Why? Did the production cost a lot?”
“Yeah. The breakeven point for that movie is 6 million. If we’re lucky, we might just break even.”
It wasn’t a historical drama, yet the production cost was considerable. This was the only light sentiment. Along with Jiho’s thoughts fitting with his actions, Jiho also looked at Dohyuk’s face on the screen.
“There were many competitive works, so you must have had a hard time honestly.”
“Yes. But… looking back, that’s why it seems like I came up together. Suppressing and keeping an eye on each other, wanting to win. As a result, my life is at the top. Next to the competitor I always had in mind.”
A competitor I always had in mind. Both Bong-gi and Jiho were clearly thinking of the same person by this expression. Bong-gi hastily raised his voice, and at the same time, Jiho faced the TV properly.
As if trying to respond to the interest, Dohyuk’s voice on the TV turned towards someone off-screen.
“So, I’d like to take this opportunity to thank Senior An Jiho as well. Now that I think about it, he seems to be a nobleman in my life.”
The host, whose eyes widened unexpectedly at the unexpected remark, compared to that, Dohyuk laughed naturally. Bong-gi’s body slid towards Jiho. With bigger eyes than the host on the screen.
“What are you saying? A nobleman?”
“…”
“Wow, sir… Did you act that well? I have to check out this movie.”
“…I don’t think it’s acting.”
While Bong-gi, who was bewildered by embarrassment turning into excitement, continued, Jiho calmly looked at the screen. Dohyuk, who always seemed to only be aware of himself, seemed to be trying harder than anyone else to read Jiho at this moment.
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.
