As If I've Never Loved (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 109
Eloise, who had fallen asleep without even realizing it the previous evening, opened her eyes groggily in the deep night, unable to tell what time it was.
Though the room was dark, she could tell from the feel of the bed and blankets and the changed temperature that she was not in the attic.
But what made her sit up abruptly was mostly the clear, cool scent of bergamot, as if it had been brushed directly onto her skin.
Ansel, who had been dozing with his head resting near her waist in the faint moonlight, stirred and rose sleepily—apparently having fallen asleep right there.
“…Sorry if I startled you. I was waiting because there’s something I wanted to say.”
He added hesitantly, “I didn’t mean to fall asleep,” his voice as gentle as a soft summer breeze.
Even in that dim darkness, Ansel took the time to tidy his hair and clothes before looking at Eloise. His eyes shone like stars in the night.
In truth, Eloise felt she owed him an immeasurable debt from what had happened the previous evening.
Thus, she was inwardly afraid of what he might say—but the words that left his lips were nothing but persuasion.
“I know your mind won’t calm down easily. But if you’re thinking of rushing off to Mayberry as soon as dawn breaks, I wanted to ask you to wait just a little longer.”
His manner was far too earnest for it to seem like he was merely using plausible words to keep her from leaving forever.
What followed proved he was worried not only about her body and heart, but also about her family and her job.
Ansel knew Eloise hadn’t told her family where she was.
Calmly, he said they too must be exhausted and confused, having just finished the funeral.
So instead of shocking them by showing up suddenly, wouldn’t it be better for everyone to take a brief rest first?

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.
