She wasn’t ready to face Melissa, who had caused her death. She needed more time to prepare herself to confront her.
“From now on, you don’t need to wake me. I’ll call you when needed. It’s easier for you too.”
“Of course, it’s easier. Climbing up to the attic of this mansion isn’t easy, you know? It’s fortunate the lady is kind, but how easy do you think it is to take care of a child not related by blood when the Duke is gone?”
Rael snorted and left the room. Whitney closed the door and took a deep breath.
‘Am I okay like this?’
Leaning against the door, she closed her eyes, hoping for her inner anger to subside. She needed time to fully navigate through this situation.
The next morning, Whitney sorted out the mess in her head. There was still time before the banquet.
To save Cheston, who had been unjustly killed, she needed to establish her foundation first. Whitney had been ignored by her stepmother and sister all her life. Naturally, she believed everything was her fault and was accustomed to accepting and agreeing.
She now realized all of it was to manipulate her easily. By isolating her, they made her believe only their words. They meticulously oppressed young Whitney, preventing her from realizing what was wrong.
The first thing she thought of doing was to have her debutante ball, which should happen around her 20th birthday. That might be her opportunity. There was still half a year left.
‘I need to learn about Prince Cheston.’
To help him, she needed various preparations. She had to change herself first. If Melissa hadn’t ruined her dress at the debutante ball, she wouldn’t have become a social outcast.
All the blame had been placed on her, but on reflection, Melissa was behind every cause.
The green dress, the only one her mother left her, was ruined by Melissa’s so-called fashion adjustments. It was obviously mended, but Whitney didn’t care. Her stepmother wouldn’t give her a decent dress anyway.
Melissa approached her with a forced expression.
She should have realized when Melissa spouted nonsense about how a countess should live a modest life and not waste money on new dresses for a debutante ball. It was all Melissa’s scheming to isolate her in social circles.
Whitney opened the wardrobe and looked at her mother’s legacy.
‘Perhaps it can be decently mended.’
Then, as now, she had no money. But she didn’t want to sell the jewelry her mother left her to buy a dress. The fabric was good quality and still felt soft despite its age.
There was time until the debutante ball, so she had to do something. She couldn’t just be victimized again.
Even if Whitney didn’t discover Prince Karl, someone else would. The trap to eliminate Prince Cheston didn’t rely on Whitney’s word; it could have been anyone.
‘Melissa would gladly take Karl’s side.’
If Karl truly loved her, and Whitney had died without knowing anything, she would have chosen Karl over Cheston.
She would have helped him to avoid falling off the cliff, saving his life. Thus, Whitney owed a debt to Cheston.
Him dying because of her, and her being saved but ending up dead.
‘This time, I’ll save him.’
Whitney closed the wardrobe and left the room. Before that, she had something to do.
She needed evidence to reclaim her rights.
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.
