“‘The forbidden word is Kang Seung Won?'”
Hyeju was slightly taken aback by the unexpected choice of words. Usually in situations like this, they would say something like ‘foreign words are forbidden’ or ‘exclamations are forbidden.’
“Have I talked about Kang Seung Won too much…?”
Hyeju felt a little remorseful.
But was it really so unpleasant to the point of designating it as a forbidden word? It’s not like it was about someone else, it was about her own brother. Moreover, it wasn’t even gossip, so why?
“What about you?”
The sharp eyes turned towards her.
Eyes that were clearer and deeper than others. You could call it a gaze filled with excellence. As they had a drink, the intensity in the eyes deepened, causing Hyeju’s heart to flutter.
“My heart races for Kang Ju Won? Me…?”
While her pride was hurt, Hyeju desperately tried to find the reason behind this racing heartbeat.
After careful consideration, she did come up with an answer.
“Oh Hyeju, your tolerance for alcohol has weakened. It’s just that you can’t make clear judgments when you’re drunk, that’s all.”
It was because she had been drinking too little lately. When two people are alone in a drinking session, anyone would feel tense if a goodlooking man stared at them so intently, right? Isn’t that the case?
“Why are you staring like that? Have you fallen for me again?”
“Who would fall for you? Hah, even passing stray dogs would laugh at that.”
“Just so you know, I said I’ll buy you a drink. I didn’t give you permission to fall for me on your own.”
“Look at you, Axe Soldier.”
“Just give me the word.”
Oh no, this guy’s skill of interrupting conversations is no joke.
Hyeju tried to be brave on her own and eventually formed a triumphant smile. Prepare to be defeated today.
“I forbid interrogative sentences.”
“!”
He had never lost with that in the forbidden word game before. As expected, Juwon’s eyes subtly flickered, as if he hadn’t anticipated it.
“Isn’t that too broad?”
“Isn’t that a question mark at the end?”
“Well, isn’t it?”
“Did it happen again just now?”
…I fell for it.
I, Kang Ju Won, am a man who never loses in drinking games.
I thought I had delivered a decisive blow, but Oh Hyeju was not to be underestimated.
“Drink up.”
Hyeju extended a glass of alcohol using her surface tension skills.
“You’re overflowing with affection, aren’t you?”
“Yes, of course. I’ll fill it up as much as my affection allows.”
Juwon raised his glass with a face filled with a sense of defeat.
The bitter first sip went down his throat.
Two hours later.
Hyeju’s cheeks were as flushed as the ripe drinking session.
Having fed Juwon with alcohol through the forbidden interrogative sentences and realizing that he couldn’t stand the thirst, she started making him drink a glass at a time, eventually forgetting about the drinking game and moving on to singing. Thanks to that, her enthusiasm reached its peak, and she was urging Juwon to go to a karaoke room.
“Let’s go to the karaoke room, karaoke! There’s a karaoke room nearby that has amazing echo, right?”
Of course, Juwon didn’t even listen with his ears.
“Why are you getting upset when I made you eat so much meat. Fine then.”
“I ate a lot, so I’m trying to digest it. I’ll buy the second round!”
“Not going.”
“Why? You lost in the game! Karaoke, let’s go to the karaoke room!”
“Are you crazy?”
Seeing him cross his arms and humming a tune with his nose, Juwon broke into a cold sweat.
If it was a karaoke room, he hated it. Although God gave him a perfect “Made in the Cave” badge, he didn’t give him the right pitch. Furthermore, he completely lacked a sense of rhythm, so even if he started properly, the rhythm would get completely messed up after the first verse.
Seeing the eyes that were full of anticipation after hearing only good voices, and witnessing the shock and disappointment after they started singing, Juwon made a resolution.
In my entire life, I would never voluntarily go to a karaoke room.
“If you want to go to the karaoke room, go alone. I’ll drop you off in front of it.”
“What’s the fun of going to a karaoke room alone! I didn’t agree to that. The person who lost in the game was supposed to choose the second location! Why are you breaking the promise now?”
“The karaoke room is not included in the second location.”
“Why do you get to decide that on your own? It’s completely unfair!”
I almost wavered for a moment as I found her face cute while she crossed her arms and looked at me. But the more reason to gather myself.
“No matter how unfair or tempting it may be, I absolutely can’t go to the karaoke room.”
It was a secret I had to protect, even if it meant maintaining my dignity as the representative.
Plop, pitterpatter. It happened to rain.
Kang Ju Won wouldn’t miss this perfect excuse.
“It’s raining, so I should go home today.”
“It’s raining?”
As soon as they stepped outside the store, Hyeju looked up at the raindrops falling one by one. A glimpse of her white teeth appeared between her slightly parted pink lips.
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.
