“Ms. Han Da Jeong.”
“Yes?”
As she halted and turned around, a small piece of paper was in his hand, seemingly taken out of nowhere. The rectangular piece of paper shimmering in the light was unmistakably a business card.
“You will need it.”
“Why are you giving this to me…?”
“Because he is a man who may lack ability, but has pride. Mr. Kim, the director.”
He said, extending the business card closer to her.
“Do you mean I should negotiate with him if needed?”
“Let’s just say just in case.”
His phone number was clearly printed on the business card. Though it was just a short series of numbers, it was more than enough to blur the line between public and private affairs.
Da Jeong stubbornly looked at the extended hand for a moment before finally accepting the card.
“Thank you for caring. …Vice President.”
With the added short remark, the blurred boundary line became clear again.
Tae Sang looked at Da Jeong with distant eyes. Being pushed outside the line in this manner was uncomfortable, and he wanted to protest.
But not knowing when to retreat was not his style.
“It’s nothing.”
The airplane, which had greatly decreased its altitude, was now ready to land.
It had been a long and strange day. An unprecedentedly troublesome passenger had appeared in her life, and the Vice President had even pushed his business card onto her.
As she walked across the immigration hall with blank eyes, the chest pocket felt unusually heavy. The small piece of paper seemed to have gained extra weight thanks to the three characters ‘Vice President’.
With her mind in a whirl, Da Jeong headed towards the taxi stand. Usually, she wouldn’t even look in that direction, but today she desperately wanted to go home and rest.
“Sir, to Hwagokdong please.”
As she stated her destination, the driver gave a light nod and started the car.
As the wheels slid onto the road, a gentle vibration was felt from the seat. Da Jeong leaned back into the seat, relieving the tension from her stiff back.
As she made herself comfortable and let her body relax, she finally felt that the work had come to an end. As she closed her eyes and reclined her head, a thought popped into her head.
‘Ah, the phone….’
She realized she hadn’t turned off flight mode even after a while since landing. Suddenly lifting her head, she took out her phone.
As she tapped the screen in a familiar sequence, the data connection was soon established. She was about to send a message to her roommate about her journey when a flurry of notification sounds poured out like a flood.
Kkae, kkae, kkae, wake up. 300+
The chat window, spitting out over 300 messages, was a group chat with her colleagues.
Wow, so? Who is he?
Turns out, he was the director on vacation.
Nope. Not the director but the director’s brother.
I don’t know who he is, but he really made a big move.
Were they a flight attendant who went to run an errand in business from economy?
Yes. A flight attendant who went to run an errand from first class, not economy.
But I heard that the vice president who was on a business trip was also on that flight.
Crazy! I don’t know who they are, but they’ve rung the bell of their life for sure.
Yeah. Right. Friends, thank you for your fervent support.
I didn’t know where and how to set the story straight. While it was common for things that happened on the plane to spread like urban legends, today was a bit too much.
Da Jeong let out a small sigh and picked up her phone again.
Guys, I didn’t ring the bell of my life…
But our vice president… Is that rumor really true?
The message that came up a second before she slowly typed caught her hand.
‘Rum…or?’
Da Jeong stared at the screen, her fingers frozen.
Is it about the divorce? Or could it be about his infamously cold personality? She knew very well that he’s none of her business anymore, but she couldn’t stop the curiosity that was leaking out.
A moment later, a torrent of colorful eyewitness accounts gushed out.
They say he fired an entire department because they didn’t perform well.
He sent his secretary to an overseas branch just because she touched his shoulder while helping with his jacket. But to a much better department, even promoted her.
Does the vice president have a fear of women?
“Fear… of women?”
Her head tilted to the side and a questioning voice slipped out of her mouth. Da Jeong quickly closed her mouth and stared at the screen.
The photo next to the speech bubble was the face of a colleague who always asked for accurate information. Da Jeong erased the message she was writing and tapped the keypad again.
Fear of women? Are you sure?
Yeah. Sure. A friend working at the headquarters told me that he doesn’t even let women come near him. Even the engagement that was broken recently was forced by the adults in the family.
“……”
The head that was slightly tilted now completely laid to the side.
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.
