Seol Hee blinked at the unfamiliar sight of Eun Woo.
Ok Eun Woo. He was a cold, rational boss at work.
Endlessly kind and sweet to his subordinates, but in front of Seol Hee, he showed a cold and icy rational side. However, right now he seemed like he could explode at any moment. Eun Woo growled in a low voice, his teeth clenched.
“Get lost.”
Chan Jung got up off the floor.
“I said get lost!”
As Eun Woo shouted, Chan Jung backed away and got up. His eyes narrowed, overwhelmed by the imposing aura, Chan Jung turned around and hurried away. He muttered something unintelligible, but Eun Woo didn’t care.
Eun Woo turned to look at Seol Hee, who was still trembling with wideeyed surprise. He held her quivering shoulders with both hands and looked into her eyes.
“Are you okay?”
“Huh? Yes.”
“Really? Are you sure?”
His gaze fell on Seol Hee’s hands.
She said she was okay, but was she really?
Her hand was shaking uncontrollably.
Despite the warm spring weather.
As she mindlessly looked at her trembling hand, Eun Woo reached out and took it.
“You don’t seem okay.”
His warm hand made contact with her cold fingertips, causing warmth to spread. The trembling grew worse, causing vibrations within her.
Slowly, tears welled up in her eyes.
Just like Eun Woo was not himself today, neither was Seol Hee.
She didn’t like Ok Eun Woo.
No, more like he was difficult to deal with. A man who was perfect and clean in every way.
He expected Seol Hee to also be perfect, so naturally she felt tense around him.
But right now, she was glad he was there. She couldn’t imagine what would have happened if he wasn’t. She clung onto his hand without realizing it.
“Sob.”
“…It’s okay to cry.”
Seol Hee’s tears streamed down at the sound of Eun Woo’s firm but clumsy comforting voice.
Unaware of the embarrassment, she clung onto his hand as if it was a lifeline, crying and crying again.
((()))((()))((()))
“We’ve arrived.”
She had cried in front of Mr. Ok.
What on earth was she thinking?
During the drive home, she didn’t even look at the driver’s seat, just stared out the window.
Chan Jung, her boyfriend, had cheated on her, a shocking scene to witness, but somehow, her sobbing while holding his hand bothered her more.
She absentmindedly moves the fingers resting on her lap.
She must be crazy, really. Clinging onto his hand like that.
He’s just a work colleague.
When she didn’t respond to his announcement of arrival, Eun Woo asked,
“Ms. Yu Seol Hee?”
“Huh? Oh, yes. Thank you. For bringing me home.”
“Are you really okay?”
“…Yes, I’m fine, thanks to you.”
Heat rushed from her cheeks to her neck. Eun Woo’s gaze fell on her reddened throat.
“I see, then.”
Eun Woo didn’t add anything else.
Despite having a vague idea of what had happened earlier, he didn’t pry and just comforted Seol Hee.
“Take a good rest when you get inside.”
“Yes, I will.”
Just as Seol Hee was about to get out of the car, Eun Woo stopped her. His hand intertwined with hers, holding it gently. Warmth flowed into her cold body.
“Ah, also,”
“Yes?”
“What I said before still stands. Think about it.”
What he had said.
“I think we should date.”
He smiled. The corners of his mouth rising slightly. It was the second smile of the day.
Shamelessly, all the day’s events were forgotten at the sight of his bright smile, and Seol Hee’s heart dropped.
((()))((()))((()))
The moment she opened the door and entered, her mother’s sharp voice rang out.
“Hey! Yu Seol Hee!”
“I’m home…”
“Why are you coming home past dinner without any contact?”
Her mother came out of the kitchen, chopsticks in one hand. Her mother’s face was flushed but she didn’t have time to pay attention to her now.
She just wanted to go to her room and lie down. She felt like she needed to sort out her thoughts.
There was too much that happened today.
Her boyfriend, Chan Jung, had cheated on her.
Moreover, the person he cheated with was team leader I Do Young, who she hated the most in the world.
And Mr. Ok Eun Woo proposed that they should date.
“I wonder what she’s thinking, Teacher Ok. No matter how sick grandmother is, is she that desperate?”
As Seol Hee was murmuring, her mother quickly grabbed her arm.
“Hey, Seol Hee. Why aren’t you answering? We were so hungry waiting for you, we ate first. Did you have dinner?”
She only nodded.
“When you eat, you should say you’ve eaten, what did you have?”
“Steak….”
A wellcooked mediumrare steak.
Inside it was slightly pinkish blood and on top was a sauce seasoned with mango and 15yearold vinegar. She would normally have enjoyed it greatly.
But she couldn’t focus because of the man sitting across from her.
“Miss Yu Seol Hee, let’s date.”
His red lips that murmured so, the slightly twisted eyebrows shimmered in front of her. While Seol Hee, recalling the event, was opening her mouth again, her mother shook her.
“Why are you out of it like this?”
“No, nothing. I’m tired. I want to go wash and sleep.”
“Nothing is not nothing? But you said you had steak for dinner? Did you eat with Chan Jeong?”
“No.”
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.
