“In the past few days, it seems 김 상무 has caused a ruckus at a club. According to the victim’s statement, 김 상무, in a drunken state, was the first to throw a punch, but I don’t think that was actually the case.”
In the hotel suite room, listening to the weekly briefing, 태경 was pressing his forehead in apparent seriousness.
한 실장, who had been coordinating with 태경 since the United States and was six years his senior, always maintained a respectful posture.
태경, adjusting his tie, asked, “Why is 김 상무 being mentioned during our weekly briefing?”
“Because I thought you would be curious.”
“Curious?”
“About 김 상무.”
태경 had a habit of not keeping the same person around him for long, but 한 실장 had been in the same position for years because of such insights.
“Continue, please.”
“Though 김 상무 unusually got involved in a fight, considering his usual reputation, it’s unlikely he threw the first punch.”
“They recognized 김 상무 at the police station.”
“Yes. They even threatened to release it to the press, but lawyers from 회동 handled it immediately.”
With 장경’s wedding approaching and 김 상무 causing trouble, 회동 must have been upset. They likely paid off someone claiming to be a victim with millions of won.
So deep was their relationship.
According to a report 한 실장 submitted earlier, 김민준 appeared weak on the outside but was actually stronger than anyone else. In the Joseon era, he would have been a loyal servant who never betrays his king.
And his current turmoil and wandering were all because of 윤우연.
“And 윤우연?”
“Quiet. 김 상무 has visited her several times, but it seems 윤우연 has not once agreed to meet him.”
“Is that so? That woman does have a tough side.”
That’s why I keep doing things I normally wouldn’t when I see her. She drives me to the edge of a cliff.
태경, finishing adjusting his tie, looked at 한 실장.
“Did 김 상무 cause the disturbance deliberately? To leak information to the press?”
“Maybe.”
“She wouldn’t fall for that.”
“…….”
“She must be very angry with me too.”
“Sir?”
“Nothing. 한 실장, you can leave now.”
“Understood.”
태경, dressed for the day, sipped the coffee 한 실장 had prepared.
The routine of starting his morning was always precise. The only thing that broke into that routine was her.
윤우연, angry at him, throwing a fit.
Gripping his shirt as if she would give everything during that kiss at 미인정, yet bristling like a porcupine, saying she knew he was that kind of guy.
“Pretty too.”
At 7:50 a.m., 태경 left the hotel room without a minute’s deviation.
From the moment he stepped into the elevator, he erased that expression.
His mind was filled with numbers, performance graphs, and economic news screens he had turned on before leaving the room.
Ding.
The elevator stopped momentarily on the 6th floor. A young couple with travel bags stood outside. 태경 turned his head away, avoiding their gaze. The couple, exchanging wordless communication, ultimately did not board the elevator.
It was a common occurrence. Without any direct intimidation, people often hesitated to enter 태경’s space.
Realizing they weren’t going to board, 태경 pressed the button. As the elevator doors closed, he briefly made eye contact with the woman on his right. She bit her lip tightly.
태경 did not react.
Zzzing.
Checking his phone pulled from the suit’s inner pocket, it was 차재희 again.
Annoyance crept in. He was certain she had blabbed about 윤우연 to their mother in the US.
“Hello?”
[Dash] Brother? Oh, why are you answering the phone today?“What do you want?”
[Dash] Mom wants to see that woman soon.Just as he suspected.
“…Sigh.”
“So?”
[Dash] Well, you might think you weren’t caught that day, but you were wrong.“…….”
[Dash] It was too obvious. You like that woman.“If you have nothing to say.”
He was about to say ‘hang up’ when 재희 beat him to it, raising her voice.
[Dash] I am talking right now!“My ears hurt.”
[Dash] Oh, sorry. Anyway, I support you, brother. Even though such a great woman will suffer a lot meeting someone as stoic as you, I’m on your side, so I support you both.
“Hang up.”
태경 scrunched his face, thinking he had endured two minutes of useless talk.
He strode through the hotel lobby and out the door. 한 실장 was waiting outside with a luxury sedan.
“Where shall I take you?”
As 한 실장 opened the door and asked, 태경 parted his lips to respond.
“Let’s go to the Wedding Tower.”
“Understood.”
“Any contact from 조인영 yet?”
“No. But she’ll bite soon.”
“Good. Set up a meeting as soon as she contacts.”
“Understood.”
If 조세훈’s wife 김하윤 is really insane, 태경 needed to approach 조인영 beforehand.
He planned to coax 조세훈’s media-shy wife out into the world.
There was no hesitation in his step for any plan to ruin 조세훈.
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.
