Although she wore a composed expression, was she concerned about my departure? As she thought about him being left alone in this spacious room, her heart ached.
“You said you’d stay for two more days after I leave, right?”
“Two more days.”
“Make sure to sleep well even after I’m gone.”
“…I’ll try.”
“Don’t mix medicine and alcohol.”
It was a common conversation, but she couldn’t think of anything else to say. Da Jeong bit her lip quietly, feeling a pang of helplessness.
What could I do for him, not being a doctor or an expert?
As the frustrating feeling piled up like snow, she suddenly opened her eyes wide with a start.
“Would it help if you heard my voice on the phone?”
“…?”
“Hearing a person’s voice on the phone can help you sleep, right? It’s not the same as having me here, but wouldn’t it be somewhat effective?”
A voice.
Tae Sang recalled Da Jeong’s voice whispering in his ear. Just thinking about it made his blood rush to his ears.
His trembling pupils turned towards Da Jeong.
“I think it’ll be nice. Listening to your voice before bedtime.”
“…I’ll make the call.”
Nodding shyly, Da Jeong, the ending credits rolled at just the right moment.
She looked wistfully at their intertwined fingers.
During the movie, it felt like reality had disappeared entirely.
The predetermined relationship and the uncertainty of each other’s feelings all seemed to be covered up, just like the movie’s protagonists, they could share their hearts.
But when the magical moment ended, reality came back into focus. As she hesitated and began to withdraw her hand bit by bit, he still didn’t let go of her entangled fingers.
Da Jeong had no choice but to move her hand a little more boldly. At that moment, a soft knock sounded in the living room.
“Who…?”
She sent an puzzled gaze towards the direction of the door, and Tae Sang stood up and began to clear his seat.
Suddenly, chilly air rushed down onto their intertwined fingers. Unlike before, it was a cold sensation, and Da Jeong quickly withdrew her hand.
“Just a moment.”
Saying that, Tae Sang strode towards the entrance of the room. After a while, he returned with a large shopping bag.
“What’s this?”
Da Jeong asked, looking at the shopping bag extended in front of her.
“Instead of the dress you’re wearing now.”
“Instead…?”
“Because of the wine.”
“Ah…”
She had forgotten about that small stain. Da Jeong was amazed by his thoughtfulness.
She peered into the shopping bag with a curious expression, and her eyes fell on a large box decorated with a ribbon. In the center was the logo of a brand known as the best of the best in the luxury world.
“Is this… for me?”
Da Jeong asked cautiously as she took out the box.
“Go ahead and open it.”
“How did you prepare something like this when I can’t even go out?”
“Thanks to capable staff.”
“Ah…”
It made sense that he had a long conversation with the staff while they cleared the tray.
She realized belatedly. He had been planning this situation from much earlier than I thought.
“Well, let’s open it.”
Da Jeong slowly pulled the end of the ribbon.
The satin material untied smoothly with one pull. When she held the two sides and opened the lid, the rustling sound caught her ears first.
“Wow…”
As Da Jeong looked inside the box, she couldn’t help but let out a sigh.
Neatly folded in the center was a cream-colored dress. It was meticulously adorned with pink dried flowers that encircled it. There was even a thank-you card on top of the dress.
“Is this… for me?”
Da Jeong asked as she cautiously took the box out.
“Go ahead and open it.”
“Right now?”
“I want to see how it looks on you. I want to be the first one.”
Tae Sang said with a gaze that seemed to pierce through her.
It was a strong desire that went beyond curiosity. It was a strong desire to see her, the first person he wanted to see.
He hid his boiling emotions behind a subtle smile.
“Oh, but even if it doesn’t suit me, I won’t say anything.”
Da Jeong said, looking at the shopping bag.
“There’s no way it won’t suit you. I asked them to bring the loveliest outfit from the store.”
“Lovely…”
The voice that entered her ears somehow felt very passionate. She couldn’t help it, and her cheeks turned red.
Da Jeong quickly responded, bowing her head.
“Oh, I see. I’ll put it on and come out.”
She got up as if fleeing and hurriedly walked into the bedroom. She leaned against the closed door, and her heart pounded strongly, as if it would burst out of her chest.
Unconsciously, Da Jeong pressed her chest tightly.
“Ha… it’s really not good for my health.”
With a sigh that seemed to shake her chest and melting eyes, as always, he was an overwhelming man to deal with.
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.
