“It’s not long. Just enough to clear the doubts about me.”
“Then… do we break up?”
Tae Sang nodded his head with a stern face and spoke calmly.
“Of course, as Hyo Sung’s family, you will receive appropriate treatment after the divorce. The same during the marriage.”
“Appropriate treatment?”
“If we get married, not only Miss Han Da Jeong but also her family are my family. I know you have a brother who’s a piano genius… Han Young Jin, right?”
“……Yes.”
“Classical talent cultivation is one of the areas where both the chairman and I have great interest. Pianist, professor, conductor. Whoever he wants to be, wherever he is in the world, we can invite the person Young Jin wants as a mentor.”
“Really?”
Da Jeong asked with her voice raised in surprise.
There were numerous musicians that Young Jin searched for daily on video. Even Da Jeong, who knew little about piano, knew how remarkable these people were.
They were people she would feel overwhelmed to even have a conversation with, let alone have a lesson.
Meeting such musicians and playing piano with them. She could already visualize the joy on Young Jin’s face.
“Of course, I plan to become a real family to Young Jin. As a brother when he needs one, and as a father when he needs one.”
“…….”
Family. Her heart swelled at the warm resonance of that word.
How wonderful would it be if Young Jin had a sturdy fence? She had thought about it thousands of times since their parents passed away.
If this very reliable man could become that fence… just thinking about it brought tears to her eyes.
Da Jeong closed her eyes tightly for a moment then opened them again. Then she slowly opened her mouth with her small hands clenched.
“I’ll, I’ll think about it.”
“…….”
Tae Sang looked at Da Jeong with quiet eyes. His quietness was like a beast right before a hunt.
Now was the time to stay calm. If he was too hasty, the frightened Da Jeong might run away somewhere.
He trapped his fluttering heart in his eyes and forced out a calm voice.
“You can refuse if you don’t like it. I don’t intend to burden you.”
With words that he didn’t mean, Tae Sang slowly left the room. Da Jeong averted her gaze and awkwardly nodded her head.
Thud.
After the door closed lightly, Da Jeong sat down on the edge of the bed with a flop. As she let out a long sigh and placed her hand on the bedding, the rustling noise dug into her ears.
Turning her head, she saw the large bouquet of flowers that she had blamed on the owner’s taste.
“Ha.”
Now she could see it wasn’t the florist’s taste that was lacking, but her own sense.
This wasn’t a bouquet for a patient. It was a proposal bouquet.
A few days after receiving a proposal as turbulent as a storm.
Da Jeong was on her way back from a flight to LA, a journey that alone took over 11 hours.
In the busy flight with barely any time to eat, the only thing she looked forward to was the rotating rest periods.
“Sigh…”
Da Jeong laid down in the bunk (the crew’s sleeping space), a long sigh escaping her lips. She buried her head deep into the pillow, but sleep didn’t seem to be coming.
‘Will you marry me?’
No matter how much she shook her head or tossed and turned, Tae Sang’s voice clung stubbornly to her ears.
At first, she thought there was no need to hesitate. She couldn’t possibly engage in such a nonsensical affair, despite her desire to be of help to him.
However, the moment she decided to reject him, her previously still gaze subtly shifted sideways.
If she married him. If he became her husband. If she lived with him in the same house. Her imagination took flight, even picturing them welcoming the morning together.
Something she could never have felt within reach. That’s why it hurt more, and it was all the more troubling.
Da Jeong heaved a sigh, turning the blanket over her head. In the pitchdark field of view, Cheol Jung’s figure began to float.
‘Really? You came to visit me? Oh dear, I feel so sorry. Even if I came to see you first, it wouldn’t make things better.’
‘What nonsense are you saying?’
‘Da Jeong, Hope Orphanage isn’t just a place of hope for you all. It’s also a place of hope and a guiding light for me. Who will take care of our orphanage after I pass away… Just thinking about it kept me from sleeping well. But now, one of my worries has been relieved.’
‘What are you talking about, you’re really something.’
Cheol Jung always laughed off difficult situations. Seeing him with reddened eyes, it was hard for Da Jeong to hold back her tears too.
Whining, whining.
Her phone alarm rang from the bedside as she was lost in thoughts of holding hands and shedding tears, causing a prickling sensation at the tip of her nose. Da Jeong, who had spent all her rest time awake, got up from her seat with a haggard face.
How many nights had she been losing sleep due to the shocking proposal? Da Jeong fixed her uniform with a blank expression and exited.
As she returned to the cabin, a senior coworker who worked with her greeted her with a happy face. It seemed like they had been eagerly waiting for her to come.
“Da Jeong, the guest in 1A is still sleeping, so prepare the meal later.”
“Yes, got it. Have a good rest.”
After seeing off her senior, Da Jeong was left alone in the galley.
To soothe her chaotic mind, she brewed a cup of warm tea. As she dipped and removed the teabag in the tea water, she found herself caught up in the same thoughts again, and her eyes shot open at a strange sound.
“Ah, cough…”
‘…?’

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.
