There are many reasons why a love-based relationship falls apart, but one common reason is known.
Infidelity by one of the partners.
“Why won’t you agree to the divorce?”
If Heeju had been unfaithful, Jae-min would have brought it up.
So, it’s not Heeju’s infidelity. Then, is it this man’s affair?
Chaewon stared intently at Jae-min.
“Do you think changing your image will make a difference?”
His confident demeanor suggested he might not be the guilty one either.
Or is he just shameless?
“Ah, it’s pointless to argue. Just sign the divorce papers already.”
…What could be the reason Heeju left home, unable to go through with the divorce at the courthouse?
“I already told you, the divorce is on hold.”
“What’s the point in staying together if we don’t get along?”
Ah, so it’s a matter of incompatibility?
But would Heeju leave the house crying just because of that? Even if she’s fragile, something seems off.
“How can a couple always get along perfectly? It’s about adapting to each other.”
As Chaewon smiled, placing her slender wrist on the table, Jae-min blinked in confusion.
Jenny, who had been watching silently, finally spoke up.
“Sister, where did you get that watch, ring, and clothes from? You don’t have money since you use allowance from brother, so where did all these come from?”
Chaewon’s gaze shifted to the short-haired woman. After a long, probing stare, Jenny widened her eyes.
“Why are you staring like that? It’s rude.”
“Are you the sister-in-law?”
“Oh my… Brother, it seems like sister has really lost her mind after leaving home!”
Considering such a storyline wasn’t bad, Chaewon nodded.
“Let’s go with that. Assume I have a short-term memory loss.”
Everyone’s eyes widened in shock.
“I might have some memory issues for a while, so please understand.”
As they stared at each other in silence, Jae-min leaned back in his chair and spoke.
“Did you really have an accident? Is that why you’ve changed so much?”
“Yes, so until I fully remember, our divorce is on hold.”
It wasn’t a lie, so Chaewon nodded easily.
“Also, I need to work, and it’s hard to commute from here. So let’s be a weekend couple for now.”
“Weekend couple?”
“It’s a pity, but there’s no choice.”
“I’m not saying this because I’m upset!”
“Yes, I’ll visit sometimes, not just on weekends.”
“What are you talking about!”
“Then, let’s take this time to think about what it means to be a family.”
For now, it’s just about buying time until Heeju wakes up.
Chaewon stood up.
“Again, share the new password if you change it. If it doesn’t open next time, I’ll come in with a bulldozer.”
“Oh my!”
As Olga gaped in surprise, Chaewon met her eyes.
“Understood?”
As Chaewon prepared to leave, the handbag in her hand was different from before, causing Olga and Jenny’s eyes to widen even more.
“Mom, sister must have scored a big compensation after the accident!”
“That’s it. It makes sense now. She had an accident, went crazy, and splurged on luxury goods with the compensation!”
“I’ve written the new door lock number here for your reference. See you on the weekend.”
As Chaewon turned to leave, Jae-min quickly followed her out.
“Hey, hey! Aren’t you staying?”
Chaewon stopped and turned around abruptly, causing Jae-min, who was walking fast, to step back in surprise.
After blinking several times, Jae-min gathered his wits and frowned.
“I don’t know what game you’re playing, but I’ll never live with you. We’re definitely getting divorced, so just—”
“If you keep acting like this.”
Chaewon moved her red lips with a subtle smile.
“It makes me even less inclined to go through with the divorce.”
Jae-min, with a dazed expression, gulped as he watched her lips.
“See you on the weekend then,”
He watched as Chaewon slipped her slender feet into high heels, his expression vacant.
Leaving him a slight smile, Chaewon disappeared with the sound of a harsh door slam.
“Ha, what’s with her…”
The once innocent wife had returned, transformed into a formidable force.
Standing in the empty entrance, Jae-min was left in prolonged confusion.
The middle-aged woman in a suit, sitting beside Mrs. Kim Bok-Rye, lowered the paper she was holding.
“That concludes Mrs. Kim Bok-Rye’s conditions for gifts and inheritance.”
As she finished, the family members seated on the sofas facing each other quietly sighed, all pondering how to meet the challenging conditions.
“Mother, it’s too much to ask our son to go to college at his age.”
“Quiet!”
Everyone winced at Mrs. Kim Bok-Rye’s sharp voice.
“There’s no age for learning. Youngest, since you wasted your youth and didn’t finish school, now’s the time to study. Don’t even think about squandering the company!”
Choi Pal-Do, who had to retake the high school equivalency exam at 55, clenched his eyes shut.
“Mom, I’ve always obeyed you, why—”
“That’s exactly your problem!”
“Grandma! Grandma, what about me? I’m about to marry Jenny and was preparing to take over dad’s company, and now you suddenly want a business plan?”
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.
