“Eh, what is this……?”
“Butterflies……?”
Hundreds of brilliant, multicolored butterflies filled the sky.
Fluttering gently, the butterflies shimmered with the multicolored light of jewels.
It was a truly spectacular sight. All who watched were left speechless, their gaze fixed on the butterflies.
“Look over there……”
“The butterflies……”
What was even more surprising was the fact that at the center of these mysterious butterflies was Princess Gloria Ainstern.
The situation made it clear that it was Princess Gloria who had summoned these butterflies.
Gloria, who had been silently keeping her eyes closed, gently opened her eyelids.
Beneath her long, golden eyelashes were a vivid and deep blue iris.
“Madam, what in the world……?”
Grayan asked Gloria with a look of surprise.
Gloria’s blue eyes peeked at Grayan. Her gaze seemed somewhat timid. It was clear that she was inwardly concerned about him.
Perhaps because of this, Grayan felt a strange feeling. However, he couldn’t tell exactly what this feeling was. Not yet.
“These are, well, my friends……”
Gloria stammered in response. She blinked rapidly and avoided eye contact, clearly hiding something.
“……Friends, you say?”
“Yes.”
When Grayan asked again, Gloria replied curtly as if she didn’t want to explain further.
Grayan found it odd, but he didn’t press further. If he tried to force it, she might run further away. He already knew that was her personality.
It would be fine to take it slow. Until the day she opened up her heart on her own.
“These butterflies will bring prosperity back to the village.”
At Gloria’s words, not just Grayan, but all the onlookers wore a puzzled expression.
These unknown butterflies would bring prosperity back to the village?
Especially, the villagers glanced at Gloria with eyes full of unease and distrust.
Wasn’t it Princess Gloria who caused the drought in the village with the unreasonable excuse that the wheel was stuck in the mud?
And now she wants to bring prosperity back to the village……? They couldn’t believe it.
They couldn’t help but suspect if she was here to make the village more barren.
However, the butterflies summoned by Princess Gloria felt more sacred than ominous.
How should one say it, it was as if a divine blessing had descended upon the earth……
So, some harbored a somewhat hopeful expectation.
In the midst of everyone’s mixed feelings, Gloria clasped her hands tightly together.
It seemed like she was praying, but what she was doing exactly was unknown.
Then the butterflies began to spread out over the entire village.
The butterflies, which seemed to be made of light, seemed more like spirits than living beings.
Countless butterflies fluttered around, sprinkling the ground and river with shining powder of light.
As if in a scene out of a myth, the people watched as if they were entranced.
And then, after a while.
There was a surprising change in the village.
The dried, cracked ground regained its glossy sheen.
The dying flowers bloomed again, new leaves sprouted instantly on the trees, and the wilted grass took on a fresh glow.
Not only that, the river which had exposed its bed began to flow again.
It was truly, a miraculous phenomenon.
Some stood with their mouths open, dumbfounded, others cheered or screamed.
“Look! The river has started flowing again!”
“Look at this soil. It’s back to normal, no, it’s even better than before!”
“Mom! Look at the flowers over there! They’re in full bloom! There are so many!”
As the villagers rejoiced, Gloria, who had drawn the butterflies back, smiled faintly.
On her face as she watched the villagers was a feeling of relief.
Grayan, who had been watching her from the side, was once again filled with a strange sense of discomfort.
The rumors about Gloria, the cruel things she had done in the past.
‘That’ Gloria and ‘this’ Gloria were too different. As if they were different people……
‘Can you become like a different person when you lose your memory?’
“Squawk!”
Just then, April cried out and jumped into Gloria’s arms.
Gloria, who had reflexively held April, showed a weak smile. April rubbed her face on Gloria’s dress. Gloria, while carefully stroking April, spoke in a loving voice.
“Thank you, April. Our good bunny.”
“Squeak.”
Grayan watched the scene with an indescribable feeling. What was this ticklish feeling in his heart… He was trying to figure it out internally.
“…!”
Gloria’s body suddenly tilted to the side. Grayan quickly caught her. April, who had clung tightly to Gloria’s dress, was flustered.
Gloria seemed to have fainted. Grayan blankly looked at her, who had quietly fallen asleep with her eyes closed.
He didn’t know well, but had she overdone herself in making the village prosperous again?
…What were the butterflies she had summoned? The power that made the land fertile and made the river flow… it was like a miracle that would only appear in old tales.
“Squeal…”
“…Don’t worry. She’s just fainted.”
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.
