“Brother! Brother. Brother. Brother!”
Byunghoon rushed into the house excitedly. Jaeho, who had just finished showering, casually shook his head to dry his hair and greeted with his eyes. Byunghoon glanced at Jaeho’s body with admiration for a moment, then quickly approached and got to the point.
“Brother! Have you seen the fan club?”
“Manager Jung is here. Say hello.”
Jaeho pointed to the sofa where Jung Minho, the manager of the Taemyung Group’s secretariat, was sitting, shuffling through documents.
Byunghoon was struck anew by the realization that Jaeho was the third-generation heir to a chaebol. Jaeho rarely talked about his family, but in truth, when he met people from Taemyung, his demeanor as a sharp businessman would occasionally surface.
“Oh! Manager Jung! Long time no see.”
“Yes, Byunghoon. It’s been a while.”
The three sat on the sofa. Byunghoon joked about the flashy L-brand sedan he had seen in the parking lot, asking if it was Manager Jung’s, and Jung slightly laughed and nodded.
“But what brings you here, Manager?”
“I came to report on the quarterly performance of our subsidiaries. I heard the director was free after his shoot.”
Jaeho frowned slightly.
“I’ve told you not to call me that.”
“What else should I call the director, if not ‘Director’?”
“Just Jaeho. As before.”
“How can I do that? You are the heir of Taemyung.”
Manager Jung smoothly handled Jaeho’s teasing with a sly reply. Byunghoon suddenly clapped his hands.
“Wow. The dignity of a third-generation chaebol. Cool. Lee Jaeho. The heir of the great Taemyung Group, hiding his identity to become an actor, and even excelling in acting. Brother, the more I know, the more amazing you are?”
Byunghoon gave a thumbs up and winked. Jaeho, though disliking such talk, couldn’t help but chuckle at Byunghoon’s teasing.
“The outside director doesn’t need to know everything. That’s enough. And I have no intention of taking over the group. That’s just something my grandfather says.”
“A decision never made wrongly.”
Jaeho cut off Manager Jung’s words and asked Byunghoon.
“But why are you here? Something about the fan club?”
“Oh!”
Remembering his purpose, Byunghoon pulled out his phone and smiled meaningfully.
“Seems like an opportunity has come?”
As Jaeho looked puzzled, Byunghoon quickly accessed the fan club and clicked on a daily post, showing it to Jaeho.
“A chance to reunite with Sister Dajeong.”
[Dear members of ‘Sweet Jaeho’, I’m taking a month off to go to the sea! I got the leave because of that tough situation I mentioned last time. ㅠㅠㅠㅠ But I haven’t found a pension yetㅋㅋ A month-long rental for a private pension in Taean, anyone knows? ㅎㅎ And for a complete rest, I’ll take a break from the fan club for a month. See you in a month!]Jaeho’s eyes brightened as he quickly read the post, a sincere smile spreading across his face. Manager Jung, seeing his expression, extended his hand to Byunghoon.
“Let me see, Byunghoon.”
After Jaeho read it twice, the phone passed to Manager Jung. Byunghoon chattered endlessly in his ear. Saying that his brother might finally meet Sister Dajeong after 13 years. How thrilling it must be. That despite his appearance, his brother’s loyalty to one woman is truly enviable…
“Honestly, a playboy suits you better, doesn’t it? Look at you. You look like you could break many hearts. Ah! You’re already breaking the hearts of so many fans.”
Manager Jung half-listened to Byunghoon’s chatter, his eyes gleaming meaningfully.
“Director, I’ll look into the Taean pension right away.”
Jaeho held his breath for a moment.
In that brief moment, both of them present knew the long wait that had just passed. Both were people of Jaeho. One supported the actor Lee Jaeho, and the other, Taemyung’s Lee Jaeho. They genuinely supported Jaeho’s life.
“……Will you do that for me, Manager?”
Jaeho, usually confident in front of numerous cameras, was nervous as he gave this reply. Byunghoon teased him in a soft voice.
“How many years have you wandered around insisting on hiding your identity? Brother.”
Having finished her last day at work, Dajeong completed a simple handover and bid farewell to her colleagues. It was a brief parting, but she left the hospital without looking back, feeling oddly emotional. Kyungmi, who had agreed to leave work with her, drove up from the parking lot to the ground. As soon as the car stopped, Dajeong quickly got in.
“Where in Taean?”
“Just a deep place. Countryside. No supermarket nearby.”
“How did you find such a place? I’m worried about the lack of people.”
Kyungmi expressed concern about the safety.
“You should have chosen a bustling tourist spot instead of going to the countryside. The countryside is not like it used to be. Be careful and don’t let people know you’re a woman staying alone.”
Dajeong nodded. Anyway, she wouldn’t have much interaction with the locals.
“Did you book it online? Did you find it through a search?”
“No. I posted on Lee Jaeho’s fan club and someone recommended it.”
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.
