“No. It’s useless.”
Jaeho smiled bitterly and shook his head.
“Let’s talk about this later, not today.”
“······I’m sorry, Mr. Jaeho.”
“I can’t let you go.”
“I want to end it amicably.”
“No. Next time. Let’s talk about it later. Let’s stop here for today.”
Jaeho reluctantly stood up first.
“Why are you so selfish until the end? Approaching, deceiving, everything as you please, until the end…!”
Dajeong’s voice was sharp like a dagger. The empty cafe echoed emptily.
Jaeho stood there, looking at Dajeong with somewhat tired eyes.
“I told you later.”
“Today is my last….”
“Stop.”
“No.”
“Yoon Dajeong!”
The section chief Jung, waiting outside, turned his head upon hearing a loud sound. Jaeho, who couldn’t hide his despair, sighed, circled aimlessly once, and opened his mouth with difficulty.
“……Let’s talk again. Later. When you feel better.”
“……. ”
“Let’s stop for today. Chief Jung will take you.”
“I don’t want….”
“Dajeongah.”
The man who stood awkwardly and looked down at Dajeong approached like he was about to kiss, bringing his lips close. Then he stared at Dajeong.
Dajeong didn’t avoid it.
She didn’t tremble.
“I love you.”
“!”
“I can’t live without you.”
“……. ”
“Even if you hate me, just stay by my side, pretending to save a person.”
“Mr. Jaeho.”
“I’m sorry. This is the only thing I can do. Go back carefully.”

Jaeho, who received a report that Hajewoo’s condition had noticeably improved, sought out Heuntae.
Entering the office, Jaeho’s face was so dark and gloomy that Heuntae was surprised. Something had happened in the past few days; half of his face had become numb, and his gaze was cold. Heuntae had initially planned to make a light joke, but he changed his mind and asked seriously.
“Did you two fight because of Grandpa going to see the nurse?”
Jaeho shook his head.
Heuntae had already heard about Jaeho visiting Dajeong. He misunderstood, thinking Dajeong was unwell, but that was probably not the case.
Since he had decided to break up, he probably refused to meet.
But he couldn’t say that directly, so he evaded the topic.
“It’s not like that.”
“How’s the nurse? Is she okay?”
“I’m taking good care of her.”
Jaeho shamelessly lied. Heuntae found it amusing that he, who had caused Dajeong to turn away with his tiresome lies, was still behaving arrogantly.
“I have something to report.”
“Go ahead.”
“The investigation into Lee Jinhyuk and Ha Jaewoo is coming to an end. Once it’s over, I’ll get married.”
Since Heuntae welcomed the marriage, there was no reason for him to object.
“Sure.”
“I’ll report back. Father’s accident was caused by Lee Jinhyuk intentionally. That day, Lee Jinhyuk secretly tampered with Father’s car. More precisely, he tampered with the brake oil, making the brakes malfunction.”
“What the…!”
Jaeho, who had forgotten the art of gently steering the conversation, spilled out the information he had discovered without any filtering. There was no room for a relaxed mind.
“Ha.”
After hearing the truth, Heuntae seemed shocked, and for a moment, he remained silent. But it was only for a moment. He returned with a calm gaze and asked Jaeho.
“Evidence?”
“There’s no evidence, but there’s a confession from a witness.”
“Well, there wouldn’t be any evidence left. Where did you find that? Well done. It’s beyond my expectations.”
“And now I’m heading to Hajaewoo. It will soon be revealed that Lee Jinhyuk is behind the .”
“Okay.”
“I’ll settle everything before the temporary shareholders’ meeting. Lee Jinhyuk will be arrested before the shareholders’ meeting, and the meeting will be canceled.”
“Do that. But…”
With thin eyes observing Jaeho like a snake, Heuntae spoke in a low voice.
“Why are you so desperate?”
After a moment of thought, Jaeho responded professionally.
“I’m tired. I’ll be going.”
Jaeho, on his way to the villa after leaving the company, stopped by his house to change clothes.
He went habitually to the dressing room, feeling a strange discomfort before undressing, and looked around. Then, he chuckled. Several sets of Dajeong’s clothes that were hanging there were neatly gone.
It probably wasn’t the secret password he had taught her.
Jaeho, who threw off his shirt as if tearing it, came out and checked the study, bathroom, and bedroom. He soon realized the dreadful reality. There was not a single item of Dajeong’s belongings left—no books, notes, toiletries, or even cosmetics.
His bare upper body trembled with excitement. His hurried touch while checking each room was impatient. After checking all the rooms, he came to the living room.
He stood still like a statue in the middle of the spacious house.
Dajeong erased every trace of herself and left.
He wanted to ask why she went to such lengths, but Jaeho couldn’t even make a phone call. The notification he would hear through Dajeong’s words was as terrifying as a death sentence.
He spat out curses while covering his face with one hand.
He was desperately alone.

“Kidnapping?”
Jinhyuk asked irritably.
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.
