Hyun Woo, always so meticulous, had not even changed his clothes since coming home, all because of Sori’s relentless calls for water and her mother throughout the night.
Suddenly, Sori’s eyes flew open.
Her eyes roved around, her body still stationary.
“Where is this…”
Where else but her own room in Hyun Woo’s house.
But how did she get home?
After drinking with Ji Tae and Yeong Min, her memory blanked out at some point.
“Oops!”
Startled, Sori realized the gravity of the situation and rushed out of her room into the living room. The house was as quiet and tidy as ever.
Startled, Sori got up, realizing the gravity of the situation, opened the bedroom door, and stepped into the living room. The house was as quiet and tidy as usual.
Sounds were coming from the kitchen. Apparently, Hyun Woo was already up and having breakfast.
Sori quickly headed to the kitchen and, seeing him busy, placed her hand on her belly and bowed respectfully.
“Professor, you’re up early.”
Her tone resembled that of a feudal servant.
Hyun Woo, standing at the sink doing something, shot her an indifferent glance.
“Go wash up.”
Oh.
She hadn’t checked her appearance yet. Surprised, Sori forgot to reply and hurried back out of the kitchen.
After showering, Sori re-entered the kitchen slowly.
“I drank too much yesterday. How did I… You don’t seem to have drunk much. You look fine?”
The dining table was set with white rice and side dishes.
As he served the bean sprout soup, he spoke in an indifferent tone.
“Sit down. Start with the hangover cure.”
“…Yes. Thank you.”
The atmosphere felt chilly.
Without a moment to gauge his mood, Sori devoured the soup. She didn’t remember ever drinking this much, even on her first day at work.
After clearing the table, Sori, feeling her feet numb, insisted on doing the dishes.
Her head still felt like it would split, but she couldn’t show it as he was watching.
Eating had brought back the flush to her face and sweat cooled her skin.
She felt like she was dying.
Why is the professor still sitting there?
Please leave for work already.
Feeling unworthy to face him, Sori washed the dishes slowly.
He watched her from the dining table, sipping tea, his sharp gaze on her.
After finishing the dishes, Sori removed her apron and gloves and turned around.
Click-click.
She walked towards him, quicker than usual, as if she needed to.
Standing almost like a criminal in front of him, time seemed to slow down for Sori.
Then, their eyes met as he turned to look at her.
“May I sit here?”
Her hand hesitated as she was about to pull out a chair.
His gaze was ominous.
“Maybe I should stay standing?”
So, she straightened up again, eyes wide.
“Did I make a big mistake yesterday?”
Otherwise, there would be no reason for him to glare at her so frighteningly.
“No more.”
“Sorry?”
“Don’t even think about touching alcohol again.”
“But I have to socialize for work…”
“Just know that if you overdrink like this again, I’ll throw you out. Understand that.”
His prohibition on alcohol was stern, yet she couldn’t help but let out a
In a sudden moment, Sori felt her brain splitting with pain and involuntarily screamed.
Startled, Hyun Woo turned to her and grabbed her arm.
“What’s wrong?”
“I know you’re really angry right now, but… can I sit down to be scolded?”
Swiftly, Sori collapsed into the chair beside him.
As expected, her flushed face with beads of sweat showed a clear hangover.
Resting her cheek on the cold table and closing her eyes, Sori murmured, “I feel like I’m dying… Honey.”
Why did she find it so easy to call him ‘honey’?
She couldn’t imagine his expression, but decided it was better to be a bit shameless now that things had come to this.
Suddenly, she grabbed his hand from the table and placed it on her face.
“Do I have a fever?”
“…”
“I won’t really die, right?”
“You won’t die from a hangover.”
“But could I die from Professor’s anger?”
He seemed amused and let out a small, wind-like laugh.
After Hyun Woo left for the hospital, Sori, now alone at home, lay comfortably on the sofa.
Thankfully, being on the night shift, she had more time to recover.
“I really went overboard. Drinking like there’s no tomorrow, especially in front of the professor.”
Though she had narrowly escaped the morning crisis, something still felt unresolved.
“Ah, what is it? It feels so uneasy.”
Sori recalled their conversation before he left for work.
‘Do you remember what happened yesterday?’
‘No.’
‘Not at all?’
‘Maybe?’
‘You should remember.’
‘Should I?’
Sori suddenly sat up on the sofa.
What mistake had she made?
Remember. She needed to remember.
“My head just can’t recall anything. Ugh.”
Right then, Sori’s phone rang. It was from Suhyang.
“Mom! Why are you calling in the morning when you love to sleep in?”
[Dash] Did you overdrink yesterday?“How did you know?”
[Dash] You were calling for me so much while drunk. Professor Seo was so worried he called me late at night.“I was looking for you
There seemed to be more mistakes that she couldn’t remember.
Sori raked her fingers through her hair in frustration, trying to recall.
But in the end.
She couldn’t bring back to mind the fact that she had stolen his kiss, nor what he said afterward.
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.
