Having finished her cold coffee elegantly, O Chaewon waved her hand lightly, signaling to a man at the back table. It was Team Manager Kim Young-hoon. He rose from his seat and joined O Chaewon’s table as if they had a prior arrangement. O Chaewon narrowed her eyes.
“Team Manager.”
“Yes?”
“Did you see Jae-ho’s watch?”
“What? Oh, no, no.”
O Chaewon chuckled softly. In truth, Kim’s answer didn’t matter much. Her question was more like talking to herself.
“He was wearing a watch worth 200 million won.”
She knew he had come straight from the countryside. This meant he had been wearing that watch from the countryside, not caring if it got scratched or dented, using a 200 million won watch as his daily accessory.
She laughed in disbelief. It seemed more striking than any show of wealth.
“Anyway, did you take some photos? Let me see.”
Although she had enough money, the sight of the watch had made her gulp. And every time she saw him, why did he seem even more handsome? Throughout the interview, she couldn’t take her eyes off him. His deep voice, compelling gaze, and chiseled jawline made him breathtakingly attractive.
O Chaewon received the tablet from Kim.
“Hmm… Oh? This is a good shot. But it’s too staged, so pass. Hmm. This one looks natural. Seems like it was taken in a hurry. Ah, this one too. Maybe I’ll pick about five photos.”
After selecting a few photos and passing the tablet back, O Chaewon smiled meaningfully.
“Send those photos to this phone. I guess it’s time for me to participate in Jae-ho’s fan club activities. Of course, it’s not under my name. This will be fun. You’ve created the ID, right?”
“Here it is.”
Kim maintained a business-like expression as he handed over a piece of paper. O Chaewon pulled out an unfamiliar phone and logged into the fan club app using that ID.
“Are you sure there won’t be any backlash? I know you’re good at your job, Team Manager, but just in case.”
“Of course. Both the phone and the club membership are registered under a foreigner’s name. But don’t use it for more than a month. Long tails get stepped on.”
“Got it.”
Leaning back on the sofa, O Chaewon began to operate the phone. Her spirits were slowly recovering from the cold gaze of the man who had just rejected her.
“You’ve worked hard. You can go first.”
Why did he say acting didn’t matter to him?
Those words echoed in O Chaewon’s ears, sounding like Jae-ho would soon be announced as the heir to TaeMyung Group. If that happened, he wouldn’t need to act anymore. Her heart raced for no reason.
She just needed to separate him from that girl.
“She must have checked the documents by now.”
No matter how Jae-ho responded, their relationship would fracture. Trust is like a glass; once broken, it can’t be overcome. What remained was for them to naturally drift apart.
“She won’t stay if she thinks she’s been used as a plaything.”
Humming, O Chaewon started writing a post in Jae-ho’s fan club.
Her excitement surged as she wrote with the thrill of a fan who had just met Jae-ho by chance. The thought of how exhilarating it would be for a real fan in this moment made her even more enthusiastic. This post would soon become popular in the fan club and inevitably reach Yoon Dasom’s ears.
Walking across the long, perfectly landscaped lawn, Jae-ho stood in front of the mansion’s entrance.
Every time he stood here, he was reminded of his first day. Led by his mother, the grand mansion seemed like a castle to young Jae-ho. It looked huge enough to house over a hundred people. He was shocked to learn that actually, less than ten family members lived there.
The space given to Jae-ho on the second floor’s right wing was spacious enough to play soccer in. It was a house in itself, with a room, living area, study, terrace, and bathroom.
It was a space large enough for a family of four, yet it was all for Jae-ho alone. It took him a long time to get used to it.
“I’m here.”
The mansion was bustling. Servants were busy preparing food and tidying the house. Though it was a family gathering, the preparations for the birthday celebration seemed extensive. Mijung, carrying a vase, noticed her son and beamed, rushing over.
“My son! You’re earlier than expected! What a surprise!”
Mijung hugged Jae-ho tightly. Like most mothers, she chided him for being too thin.
“What are you talking about, Mom? I’ve gained weight. I’ve been eating well.”
“Eating well? What’s there to eat in the countryside?”
Mijung led Jae-ho to the living room sofa, still holding his hand. She fussily adjusted his hair, face, and arms, repeatedly expressing how long it had been since they last met.
“Aren’t you hungry? I’ll get you some snacks. Maybe some fruit…”
“It’s okay, Mom.”
“Your mother should have brought you some side dishes! All I do is worry about you.”
“Really, I’ve been eating well.”
Jae-ho tapped his mother’s hand gently.
Her once delicate and beautiful hands now bore the marks of time, but they were still beautiful. Jae-ho understood his mother better now.
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.
