Eun Jae took the bowl with both hands. Seeing Eun Jae always adding courtesy even to small matters, Mrs. Sung San smiled contentedly.
Eun Jae, who had energetically scooped up a spoonful of seaweed soup, had her pupils greatly dilated. Mrs. Sung San, looking at her as if it was expected, giggled.
“Do you like it? You’re narrowing your eyebrows. You eat well with anything.”
“Wow, wow…”
As if she was at a loss for words, Eun Jae, who put another spoonful of seaweed and conch into her mouth, gave a thumbs up to Mrs. Sung San.
“It’s really so, so delicious. This is the first time in my life that I’ve had such delicious seaweed soup. How are you so good at cooking, aunt?”
Just then, another kitchen aunt, who was working together, entered the dining room. The kitchen aunt, who had overheard the conversation from the kitchen, chimed in while wearing her apron.
“Mrs. Sung San used to run a big restaurant when she was in Jeju Island. She even has a firstclass certification in Korean, Western, and Japanese cuisine. Even if you cook using the same recipe, no one can match Mrs. Sung San’s hand taste.”
Eun Jae, having heard the glamorous anecdotes about Mrs. Sung San, finished off the seaweed soup in her small bowl.
“Hey, Sun Woo, did you sleep here?”
“No.”
At Eun Jung’s unexpected fuss, Sun Woo, pretending to be nonchalant, slowly opened his eyes. Sun Woo slowly got up, making an excuse that he had fallen asleep after lying down for a while.
His entire body was stiff, possibly from sleeping curled up on the small sofa.
Even the dreams that he thought had quieted down had started to recur, causing him to lose sleep during the night. His condition was at its worst, unable to get proper sleep for the second day in a row.
Sun Woo looked around, picked up his mobile phone that had fallen to the floor, and checked the time.
It was a little before 6 o’clock, but he hurriedly got his weary body up. Unlike the studio apartment, it was a bit of a distance from his family home to the hospital, so he had to leave early.
Sun Woo was about to enter his room with his bathrobe draped over the sofa, but he hesitated.
She should still be sleeping.
While Sun Woo hesitated at the door, wondering what to do, Eun Jung slapped her knee as if she had forgotten why she had come up here.
“Ah, Eun Jae was downstairs. I came up to tell you that, in case you were looking for her.”
“Downstairs?”
“I was on my way back from home, and Eun Jae was there. It seems she was helping Mrs. Sung San make breakfast.”
“Why, why was she there…”
Eun Jung laughed, looking at Sun Woo, who was clutching his forehead as if he was in a dilemma.
Did Mr. Yoon Kang have the same expression back then?
Eun Jae’s situation constantly reminded her of her own when she first came to this house 30 years ago.
“Mom was the same on the day she first came here. She felt like she had to do something and couldn’t sleep.”
“Ha…”
“Eun Jae said she would have a meal at home. You too, hurry up and wash, come down and eat.”
Eun Jae, who had vowed to just help set the table, ended up being chased away by Mrs. Sung San’s touch. It was when Eun Jae, reminiscing about the regrettable taste, had stepped into the living room after exiting the dining room, wiping her wet hands on her skirt.
“Hello, Ji Eun Jae.”
Eun Jae, who had run into someone standing in front of her, stopped in her tracks, turning pale.
“Wh, why are you here?”
“Did I come somewhere I shouldn’t have? I wouldn’t know if it was you.”
Contrary to Eun Jae, who almost lost her breath running into Tae Gyu, he calmly greeted her.
She hated it. Revealing her surprise at encountering him who seemed to know something. And becoming his plaything.
“I was surprised because you suddenly appeared in front of me. I am usually easily startled.”
“Really?”
Tae Gyu smiled meaningfully, watching Eun Jae trying to avoid him with a quite plausible excuse. He casually approached her and whispered.
“So this time, don’t get startled and listen well.”
“……”
“I’ll be living here starting from today.”
“What?”
She had managed quite well until a while ago. But it seemed hard to hide her expression this time, didn’t it?
It was as expected. Eun Jae stared at Tae Gyu with a face surprised beyond belief. Tae Gyu, watching Eun Jae’s eyes widen in speechlessness, felt amused but was somehow irked.
“Why? Is there something uncomfortable?”
“No? Nothing.”
Her startled appearance was cute, but something hidden in her eyes kept scratching at Tae Gyu’s mood in a strange way.
“Why do you get startled like you’ve seen a ghost when you look at people? It makes me suspicious.”
Ji Eun Jae. Do you know?
Your wavering eyes, your frantic actions, and your efforts to pretend nothing is wrong, they constantly made me suspicious of what’s between you and Yoon Sun Woo.
“Are you still talking about that?”
“Yeah. I said I won’t believe it.”
Eun Jae stuck out her tongue at Tae Gyu’s attitude, which was beyond firm. The way she clenched her teeth and whispered was quite cute to Tae Gyu.
“Yoon Tae Gyu, are you really going to do this?”
“What did I do? Oh, you can misunderstand. It’s true that I moved here because of you.”
Don’t bite down hard, you’ll hurt your jaw. His tender words and giggles seemed annoying to Eun Jae.
His intention to tease me was clear. Eun Jae, who had lost her words looking at Tae Gyu, let out a short breath.
“Okay, let’s say you’re right. With me, who has already registered my marriage with my cousin, what can you do?”
“I don’t care about that kind of thing? If you are bothered, I can leave Korea. I don’t care where I am as long as you’re there.”
Goodness gracious. What is he talking about?
She never dreamed that his freespiritedness would apply to moral concepts as well.
Tae Gyu, who would casually blurt out things that would only happen in overthetop dramas, suddenly chuckled and whispered closely to Eun Jae.
“Why do you suddenly bring that up? Why, has your mind changed?”
“I’m not like you―”
“Was Yoon Sun Woo not as great as you thought? Well, I can see why you wouldn’t want to date someone as curt as him. He may have a good figure, but he has pathological cleanliness obsession and lives in his own pride.”
“Ha… let’s stop talking.”
Eun Jae, who didn’t feel the need to continue the conversation, clenched her lips tightly and swallowed her following words.
No matter what you say, he listens as he wants, and talks as he pleases, what kind of conversation is this?
Seeing this, it’s clear they are too alike. You wouldn’t guess they weren’t cousins.
As Eun Jae sighed and tried to leave her seat, Tae Gyu quickly grabbed her wrist.
“Tell me whenever you change your mind. I can handle at least that much.”
“There’s no need, and you will not have to take responsibility for me.”
Pulling her with force to place Eun Jae back in front of him, Tae Gyu stared straight into Eun Jae’s eyes.
“You heard it vaguely from the grandfather, didn’t you? Why Yoon Sun Woo rushed to marry.”
Eun Jae looked at Tae Gyu as if she pitied him.
I’m sorry, but it wasn’t surprising since I knew it before marriage. The marriage had different purposes from the beginning.
Yes, it was a fake marriage!
Eun Jae, who was annoyed by the constant pestering about this matter, wanted to just blurt everything out.
Exhaling what felt like countless sighs, Eun Jae responded in a calming, soft tone.
“Tae Gyu, I want to get along well with you and this household. As family.”
That was the moment. The hand that Tae Gyu had been holding Eun Jae’s wrist with was forcibly separated in an instant.
“I’m getting angry having to watch this continue.”

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.
