Suddenly, Sae-ah moved toward the back gate. While rushing down the hill, she instinctively kept looking back.
The voice of Director Lee, who had already sunk deeply, was quite serious. Her legs, walking as if being chased, wavered.
Only when she saw one or two people passing through the narrow alley, she caught her breath, touching the wall of someone else’s house.
“As soon as the candidacy is confirmed, get out right away. I don’t want to see you like this anymore.”
A fierce warning, with rolled eyes and a low tone. Although she had prepared herself for Director Lee to come soon, did he actually help her avoid him?
The day she signed the prenuptial agreement in the car. In a coercive situation, she desperately looked at Director Lee for help. However, in his face reflected in the rearview mirror, there was no trace of sympathy.
Whenever Nam Tae ordered, even coming to the company and threatening her, he could do it anytime. He pretended to help while pressuring her. Since Nam Tae started to move, she was ready for him to drag her somewhere secretly.
She was pressured while pretending to help. Now that Nam Tae had started to move, who knew when and where he would take her and cause harm?
She stopped walking at the sound of a car approaching from behind.
A silver car with the company name “Friendship, Security Company” written on it passed by slowly.

A week passed in a hectic manner. With two days left for the business trip, Kang Woo’s watch ticked even faster.
His large, motionless body moved suddenly. While unbuttoning a shirt, a squeaking sound of the chair’s wheels was heard.
After checking the email from Daniel Oh, the manager of G-coms USA, he stood up from his seat.
During the business trip to the United States, he planned to handle briefings on collaboration projects, discussions with key local figures, confirmation and cooperation of development procedures, and more.
Large-scale investments were about to be made soon. This included not only the capital of CI Soft and G-coms but also various external investment funds.
Given the situation, he worked until almost midnight throughout the week. He didn’t even have time to see Sae-ah. He had to be satisfied with exchanging a few words before going to work and just before falling asleep.
Yesterday, he even spent the night in his office, so he couldn’t see her even for a short time. The desire to see and touch her was like a chimney.
After washing his face and brushing his teeth at the company in the morning, he took out a new shirt from the cabinet and changed. Unable to take a shower, he felt sticky. Should he take some time to visit the hotel sauna, or should he go home?
He was irritated at the thought of being scolded again after forgiving her. He took off his non-prescription glasses and rolled his stiff eyes. His eyes, unable to sleep, were causing trouble again. As if one eye would burst like a blood vessel.
Checking the time while pulling up the striped shirt cuffs, he continued to simulate. It seemed like it would take about 1 hour and 30 minutes if he moved tightly.
He already washed up. Should he suggest having a meal with Sae-ah?
Soon, he was supposed to visit Minyoung for the final check before Minyoung’s business trip. Since it would take about an hour, he should say, “See you around 7 o’clock.” While typing this message, there was a knock.
“Sir, Senior Manager Lee has arrived.”
Secretary Choi, who was right behind, showed a smile.
“Chairman, it’s been a while.”
He stopped typing the message and put his phone on the desk. Turning his body, he gestured towards the sofa.
“Thank you for coming. Please have a seat.”
With a kind tone, Minyoung said that the tea was fine. He mentioned having a few drinks, saying that he would be full, and neatly placed his light ivory coat on the side after folding it without wrinkles. On top of it, a black tote bag was placed.
Kang Woo, who had prepared the materials, also took a seat. Minyoung crossed her legs carefully, making sure the thin stocking’s texture didn’t show on the sofa, and flirtatiously crossed her legs. The tone-on-tone dress fluttered.
“As you’ve probably seen from the schedule, on the first day, we’ll tour the G-coms branch and then have dinner with Daniel Oh.”
Minyoung’s gaze was fixed on Kang Woo across from her. While holding a highlighter and underlining on the paper, the shirt’s collar, which had been slightly opened, spread.
Unexpectedly, the neatly dressed man unbuttoned his shirt. Was he subtly emitting masculinity, or did he want her to see?
When the man’s long eyelashes, which had been drooping, lifted, Minyoung quickly averted her gaze to the paper.
“You’ve planned the schedule very meticulously. In my case, my secretary plans the business trip schedule for me. Does the Chairman do the same?”
“Yes.”
Kang Woo’s lips moved slowly after finishing the schedule sharing. If there were questions, he would answer; if not, he would think about wrapping up.
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.
