Contract Marriage with the Devil Duke (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 82
I was curious about the reason for Daphne’s change of heart, but she didn’t seem willing to reveal it easily. Regalis placed one hand on the table and stepped closer to her. Colorless and scentless—she gave off neither hue nor fragrance.
Daphne turned her head and met Regalis’s gaze directly as he drew near. I had expected her to flinch away, but she seemed to have steeled her resolve.
Regalis narrowed his eyes into sharp slits and spoke in a forceful tone.
“There’s nothing left for us to discuss. Our relationship ends here.”
Yet Daphne remained unmoved. She merely uttered something laden with implication.
“That may be so. But someday, you’ll find you need me.”
Every word spoken by the Saintess carried immense weight. It truly felt as if events would unfold exactly as Daphne intended.
Regalis bit his lip and turned away. Dealing with her was exhausting; he decided to seek Podeon himself.
Left alone, Daphne finally relaxed the stiff posture she had maintained until now. Battling Regalis mentally had given her a headache and set her heart racing.
Would he even know?
How intensely nervous she became whenever facing Regalis, despite appearing utterly indifferent.
She had made her decision, fully aware that Regalis would suspect her of being the one who freed Podeon. She hated the thought of him marrying Orentia far more than she feared his hatred.
Ever since she became aware of her power as the Saintess, Daphne had always felt lonely and isolated. Though everyone revered her, she could have neither a lover nor a true friend.
Just when she had lost all reason to go on living, she met Crown Prince Regalis. At a banquet shared by the clergy and the imperial family, he carried conversations effortlessly and lifted the mood with unexpected, witty remarks. She had never before met someone so brimming with confidence and ease.
‘Yes. That’s when I fell for him instantly.’
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.
