Contract Marriage with the Devil Duke (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 57
Dimidius sent Orentia back first and quietly stared at the spot where she had been. The indoor garden had been filled with the scent of flowers, but he couldn’t tell whether it came from the flowerbeds or from Orentia, who had just been beside him. Dimidius always smelled a fresh floral fragrance from Orentia.
“It still feels like that scent lingers.”
His decision to attend the hunting tournament alongside Orentia had been because of the tears she’d shown him. He’d nearly given up on the wish he’d made during the masquerade festival—that it would be impossible to stay together for long. But when she ran to him, clung to him, and wept, his carefully buried emotions surged uncontrollably.
At that moment, Dimidius felt as if the colorless world around him had suddenly burst into vivid hues—all because of one person named Orentia. It was an extraordinarily special experience.
So this time, he planned to gather his courage little by little and move closer to Orentia. Of course, he might get hurt again. She might suddenly come to her senses and leave him far, far away. But Dimidius thought he might just be ready to endure all of that.
He held the image of the place where Orentia had been in his eyes for a long time before finally standing up. He needed to return to his bedroom, yet he already missed seeing her again. How wonderful it would be if they could sleep together. But rushing too quickly might backfire.
Dimidius swallowed hard and returned to his bedroom.
[This is the timeline separator]
On a bright, clear day.
Orentia changed into riding attire for the first time in a while and mounted a horse. She had learned to ride from Sokor when she was young, but since she hadn’t needed to ride in all this time, her skills had surely grown rusty. Since she intended to participate in the Imperial Hunting Tournament, she planned to intensively practice from now on to grow close to her horse and improve her riding.
The horse Orentia rode was a white stallion. It had a gentle temperament, making it ideal for a beginner.
Today’s riding instructor was Podeon. He had readily accepted her request to teach her riding again.
Podeon watched Orentia as she slowly rode the horse and spoke kindly.
“When you lift yourself by tensing your legs, your heels rise, causing your legs or body to shift forward. So remember to keep your heels down—it’s something you must pay close attention to, my lady.”
Orentia bobbed slightly in the saddle and nodded.
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.
