“….What brings you here?”
“It seems you didn’t even have time to check the news. I’m returning to construction.”
“Oh, is that so? Congratulations. What you saw a little while ago….it’s not a regular thing, really.”
“I’m not interested in my stepmother’s hobby. What’s the problem, it’s been 4 years since the death.”
“Thank you for understanding.”
“Next time, do it outside.”
An employee who was watching from a distance took the opportunity when the conversation stopped and put a teacup on the table from the tray.
“There are many prying eyes at the hotel.”
“Whether it’s a hotel or anywhere else. My father left this house to me.”
“Then telling me to do it outside is.”
“It means you should finally vacate the house. Your stepmother got an apartment too, didn’t she? You’ve lived in someone else’s house for four years.”
Se Hee Go was speechless, her mouth gaping open like a goldfish.
Chairman Tae Seok Jung had only recognized his son until the end. He left everything from his house, buildings, land, and even stocks and commodities to Tae Kang Hyun.
All that was left for me was two mediocre apartments and some junk.
As soon as Se Hee Go heard that Kang Hyun was not acting like a human, she started disposing of the apartments to collect money.
She could probably afford a house, but she didn’t want to leave the comfortable Seo Won Ga.
“Suddenly you show up and tell me to leave, but I’m still your mother!”
“Seo Yoon, when was the last time you visited?”
“What, what are you talking about?”
“Start packing, then.”
“That day! I met the day before the accident. On the chairman’s order. Seo Yoon wanted to break up and I just passed it on. That’s the end.”
Desperate cries erupted from her smeared lipstick.
“I’ve warned you many times. Don’t touch Yoon with a finger.”
Kang Hyun’s voice was as calm as it was pleasant to hear. The tranquility that was utterly out of sync with the situation often gave her chills.
“How could I go against your father? And why now, after four years!”
“For me, it’s still yesterday, today, and tomorrow. I just stood on that road like a lamppost every day.”
“So you’re saying that the accident was my fault?”
“Seo Yoon’s accident, was it something my father ordered?”
Se Hee Go, hiding her trembling lips, chose her words calmly, not avoiding his ruthless gaze.
“I really don’t know. Even if your father had ordered it, would he tell me such important news?”
“That’s right. I’ll give you a month, so vacate the house.”
Kang Hyun left his seat with those bland words. Just as when he met Tae Seok Kyu, Kang Hyun showed no particular reaction.
Unable to sleep for no apparent reason, Ji An yawned repeatedly at the bus stop.
“Ji An, we meet again here.”
Startled by the deep voice of the man, Ji An took a step back.
The man named Do Young Choi, who she had seen a few days ago, was smirking with the same face.
She had come out much earlier than the usual office hours, and there had certainly been no one around until just now.
“Ah, yes.”
Feeling a chill down her spine from the inexplicable approach, Ji An folded her arms and kept her distance from him with a loose stride.
“Why are you being so cold? Let’s go somewhere and have a cup of coffee.”
“No, I have to go to work.”
“That’s weird, why can’t you remember? We drank a lot and even slept together. I have a video.”
“What, what did you say?”
Strength surged throughout her body.
Growing increasingly distant from Choi Do Young, who was rapidly approaching, Ji An, blocked by a bus stop billboard, looked around cautiously while contemplating a way to escape.
“Let’s go somewhere quiet and talk, okay? You don’t want to get hurt either, do you?”
Choi Do Young threateningly reached out and grabbed Ji An’s wrist.
When he had suited up and greeted her, she hadn’t noticed, but his attire of a shortsleeved tee and shorts that were unfit for the weather revealed arms and legs covered in dense tattoos.
“Why, why are you doing this!”
“Let’s have a cup of coffee……”
At that moment, the man’s voice was muffled by the loud horn sounding from across the street.
Kang Hyun, who had gotten out of his car and was hastily honking the horn after leaning his upper body into the driver’s side window, attracted the attention of the startled bystanders.
Bang! This time the horn sounded simultaneously, and the cars that were passing by smoothly hit their brakes.
The white sedan that noticed Kang Hyun belatedly squeaked to a halt just before hitting him, grinding metal sounds echoing in the air.
“…Executive Director?”
The person who was crossing the road nonchalantly was indeed Kang Hyun.
“Ah, damn it.”
Choi Do Young, who had been arguing with Ji An, quickly avoided the commotion.
“Hey, this crazy bastard!”
“Were you trying to die!”
Kang Hyun, who had endured the drivers’ curses who nearly had a horrible accident in the morning, grabbed Ji An, who was sitting in the middle of the bus stop.
“Are you okay?”
“…Are you crazy? Who crosses the road like that. You almost got killed!”
It wasn’t Choi Do Young, who was incessantly babbling about a video and trying to drag me away, that made my legs go weak.
“That man from earlier, do you know him?”
“No, I don’t. He kept pretending to know me… But that’s not the point! You know better than anyone how dangerous traffic accidents can be. Why would you run in there!”
I was afraid of losing you. That you might disappear from my side again.
I held out over the weekend with photos, but I had to come out because I missed you.
I was going to observe you for a while before meeting you at the company.
But since the moment I saw a man approaching Seo Yoon’s side, my body moved without a second thought.
“Thank you, anyway.”
Ji An bowed her head to calm her startled heart that was ready to leap out.
I thought Kang Hyun was going to die.
Fear outweighed the question of why he was running towards me from across the street. It was enough to bring tears to my eyes.
Until the moment he almost got hit by a car.
I didn’t even see Choi Do Young trying to drag me away.
All I could see was Kang Hyun, dangerously close to life and death.
Come to think of it, it seemed like I had a similar dream.
“How can I let you go.”
“Uh……”
Startled by the sudden pain that felt like her skull was cracking, Ji An hunched over, panting heavily, clutching her head with both hands.
“What’s wrong? Did you hit somewhere?”
Bang, bang. A ringing echoed in her ears, as if someone was striking giant cymbals right next to them.
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.
