In the waiting room of a high-end skincare clinic in Cheongdam-dong, a gossip session unfolded.
The main topic of conversation was the officially announced marriage news of Jiyoung and Jongwon last Monday.
“I heard the news, but I never thought Kim Jiyoung would actually go through with it.”
“She probably did it for her own benefit. Her father’s term as the head of the office is ending soon, isn’t it?”
“Still, that’s true. Isn’t Senior Jongwon a bit too much? Acting all superior and now this!”
“Why? Senior Jongwon seemed fine to me…”
“Oh my! Haven’t you heard the rumors?”
“What rumors?”
In response to a friend’s question, another friend whispered in her ear.
“In the messy things happening in the business world, about… 80 percent can be traced back to Park Jongwon. His relationships with women are also incredibly complicated.”
The friend’s eyes widened upon hearing the details.
“Really? I didn’t see him like that. Kim Jiyoung seems decent if you look at it that way.”
“That’s what I’m saying. Considering that Kim Jiyoung couldn’t marry Kang Hajun, it’s a blessing in disguise, isn’t it? If that had happened, it would have been dreadful just to think about.”
“In that sense, it’s fortunate that Han Seoa married Kang Hajun. If it were me, I would have wandered around everywhere after the marriage announcement.”
“True. But does Han Seoa not get skincare? I want to get to know her, but I need to know where she gets her skincare.”
“Me too! If I find out where, I’ll share it!”
In a massage room at the same time, Jiyoung was receiving skincare treatment, and the staff couldn’t contain their excitement.
When the door was closed, the soundproofing was effective, but they asked Jiyoung to leave the door open, citing discomfort.
Although there was a curtain on the door, and her face couldn’t be seen, her voice revealed her identity.
Since it wasn’t a real marriage, and she expected a predictable conversation, she thought it would be fine…
But it turned out to be embarrassing as her friends, who had previously flattered her, now carefully chose their words and avoided some topics.
At that moment, the friends started whispering and lowering their voices.
“Hey, hey, gather around, gather around.”
“Why, what’s up?”
“I just heard some fresh news… It seems Han Seoa was kidnapped?”
“Kidnapped?”
At the elevated tone of one friend, the others tried to calm her down.
Although it prevented the news from becoming a sensational topic within Taesung Group, the business world was silently sharing information.
“They say Kang Hajun rammed a dump truck to rescue Han Seoa!”
“What? So, what about Kang Hajun?”
“They say he got seriously injured.”
Jiyoung’s eyes widened in surprise.
Although she didn’t hear every detail due to her friends’ low voices, she could guess some details.
After the treatment, while her friends went for their skincare, Jiyoung headed to her car.
Then, she immediately called Jongwon.
“What do you mean Kang Hajun got seriously injured!”
Dial tone Ugh… It was an accident. Someone who was on a business trip to Jeju suddenly appeared, and we were all surprised!
“So what happens now? Isn’t it all over?”
Don’t worry. I’ve already prepared a way to get out. Han Seoa… has no choice but to aim for the next.
“Will there even be a next? How did you manage to hide things while handling them like this for so long?”
Unable to contain her rising irritation, Jiyoung yelled angrily. It wasn’t just anger about what happened to Hajun, but the fact that it angered her so much because it was all to save Han Seoa.
Above all, the faint hope had disappeared. As the situation became uncontrollable, it seemed like there would never be a next.
Oppa has thought of everything…
“Enough with the thoughts. Since it failed, send the recorded file to Hajun as promised.”
As Jiyoung tried to hang up the phone, Jongwon urgently shouted.
Wait, just a moment!
Jiyoung, clenching her lower lip so tightly that it bled, did not hang up, wanting to hear what Jongwon was saying.
And what Jongwon said afterward made Jiyoung’s eyes widen, and her entire body shivered.
“Someone has surrendered.”
At Seokhun’s words, everyone in the hospital room simultaneously widened their eyes.
“A person sent by the broker organization. They confessed to the incident involving only Choi Youngju. They think Choi Youngju won’t wake up.”
Well, that makes sense. Both Hajun and Taehyuk breathed a sigh of relief. It was because Jongwon seemed scared and had surrendered. It was probably because he was afraid of getting a larger sentence if he didn’t surrender.
Seoa thought the matter was resolved faster than expected and felt glad. However, she couldn’t hide her disappointment.
“Park Jongwon’s secretary, Jung Jaehwan, who resembles the culprit from eight years ago. It seems like he deliberately deceived the eyes of the assailant.”
“We must definitely save Choi Youngju. Is there only one secretary?”
Taehyuk called his secretary.
“Yes, Vice Chairman.”
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.
