“The girl who kept nodding off all day at her monitor, suddenly has a full rewrite of her screenplay to do. And the next day, her eyes are brighter than ever?”
My eyes widened in shock. I must have looked like a paused scene on a screen.
“Ah, so it’s true. Kim Jun really did take you away on purpose. I was just guessing.”
Did Jeongeun know all along and still encouraged me to go quickly?
“Let’s just stop here. Feels good to let out all these pent-up thoughts. Though your heart might not feel the same. Want to finish this sandwich? We still have some time.”
On the white plate on the table, the sandwich with tomato pulled out, bitten twice, lay lonely.
“No, it just tasted so bitter like tomatoes. I’ll leave it.”
Jeongeun looked puzzled, not understanding my meaning. The conversation had filled me up more than any lunchtime meal could.
I gathered Jeongeun’s and my cups onto a brown tray, getting ready to leave.
“Oh right, Haru. Have you seen the movie made by Kim Jun? The one that nearly swept all the awards at domestic and international film festivals.”
The weight of her words felt like adding another stone to my heavy heart. I listlessly shook my head.
I hadn’t seen it. How could I? I didn’t want to.
“Hmm… Well, you should at least watch the last scene of that movie. It was released last year. It might represent what Kim Jun is feeling now.”
Jeongeun, taller than me, grabbed the tray from my hands and headed out. I watched her back for a moment, then quickly followed.
“Ms. Lee, I’ll leave the materials you requested here.”
“Oh, uh-huh. Thanks, Mijeong.”
Mijeong smiled and turned away. A long sigh of relief escaped me.
That was close. Does Mijeong have no sound when she walks? How did she appear next to me without notice?
I almost got caught. Luckily, I had minimized the internet window to the bottom left corner. It wasn’t like I was looking at something I shouldn’t, but getting caught wouldn’t be good either.
I settled back into my seat and glanced around cautiously. No one seemed particularly interested in me at the moment.
I turned my gaze back to the small window I had opened earlier on the monitor. It displayed search results for ‘the movie the train’, which I had just typed into a portal site.
I had never dared to search for it before. I hadn’t even seen the poster. The tiny window, so small compared to the monitor, seemed to mirror the size of my timid heart, too scared to scroll down.
I gathered the courage to scroll little by little, revealing the poster of ‘the train’, a movie Jun must have poured his heart into.
So, this is the movie poster.
An old train at first glance. The background was unique.
To the left, a blizzard raged with snow piled up, suggesting winter. To the right, fresh grass swayed in the breeze, with small flowers in full bloom, indicating spring.
But I couldn’t bear to look at it for long. I closed my eyes and scrolled up quickly, unable to endure the tingling pain in my heart.
When I opened my eyes, only the words I had typed in the search bar remained. The poster was gone, leaving behind a tingling sensation.
Ah, I really wanted to see at least the last scene of the movie. Can I really watch it?
As my hope of being alright crumbled, I slumped over the desk. I let my arms hang down and rested my head on the hard surface. Emptiness eased the tingling pain in my heart a bit.
Maybe it’s too much…
Then, my phone on the desk started to vibrate noisily. It didn’t last long, so it seemed like a message notification. I usually had most chat notifications silenced, so I was curious.
Lifting my head up just enough, I picked up the phone from the desk. My indifferent hand typed in the password and displayed the message. My eyes, as indifferent as my hand, scanned the message.
[All that effort to put you to sleep yesterday was for nothing.]…Huh? Wondering if I had misread it, I brought the phone’s screen closer and read it again. Could it be…?
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.
