Green was indignant at Seon-woo’s absurd guess. She wouldn’t use floor-touched ingredients, no matter her cooking skills.
“This seaweed was soaked earlier. The one I spilled was for the soup, but it seemed too little, so I was soaking more.”
Her voice grew softer as she explained, while Seon-woo’s smile broadened.
“I’ll enjoy it.”
He picked the seaweed salad first, piling it onto his warm rice before taking a big bite.
“How is it?”
“It’s good.”
“Really? That’s a relief. I’ve made seaweed soup before, but this is my first time with seaweed salad.”
Green’s face showed genuine relief.
“How did you make it for the first time?”

“I took advice from the famous Chef Baek’s cooking methods.”
Green waved her phone. In a world where a cooking novice could easily follow recipes with a simple search, it was indeed a wonderful era.
As Green reached for the seaweed salad with her chopsticks, Seon-woo coldly pulled the plate towards himself.
“I made it for myself, so I’ll eat it all.”
“Why are you being so stingy about food?”
Green stood up and went to the counter. In a large bowl, there was much more seaweed salad than what was served on the plate.
Ignoring Seon-woo’s baffled look, Green scooped up some seaweed salad and stuffed her mouth with it.
“Eek!”
She nearly went numb with the intense taste of vinegar.
“What happened here?”
Green alternated between checking Chef Baek’s recipe and the vinegar bottle.

Seon-woo, wanting to hide the truth, watched her with a look of pity.
“The vinegar is labeled ‘3 times vinegar,’ so I guess you’re supposed to use only one-third of the usual amount.”
“Ah!”
With this realization, Green glared at the vinegar for a moment, then strode to the table and ruthlessly cleared away the plate of seaweed salad. She couldn’t forgive herself for making Seon-woo, who never lies, say it tasted good.
“There are plenty of other side dishes, so enjoy your meal anyway.”
Seon-woo cautiously observed Green. Trying to act nonchalant, she burst into laughter when their eyes met.
“Pfft! Oh, come on! Stop looking, it’s embarrassing.”
“Pfft! Ah, sorry.”
“I think I’m developing a trauma with seaweed. I can’t make dried pollack seaweed soup for a while. Just buy it.”
“Understood. Pfft!”

They ended up taking longer to eat than usual, laughing throughout the meal. Seon-woo found Green’s embarrassed yet laughing figure quite adorable.
Towards the end of the meal, Seon-woo realized Green had dressed up considerably.
She wasn’t as elaborately dressed as for mother-in-law Park In-young’s gatherings, but she had done light makeup and wore a blouse that seemed too fancy for home.
Initially thinking it was for him, Seon-woo asked a more realistic question.
“Green, are you going out today?”
“I have to return the clothes I got for sponsorship to Hanna. Jenny is only free for lunch, so I’ll return the clothes and take some photos of Jenny. It’s a busy day.”
Seon-woo didn’t like the idea of being left alone in the spacious apartment.
Before marriage, he had lived here alone for over ten years.
“Can I come with you?”
“You, Seon-woo?”

“They’re your best friends. I’d like to meet them.”
“Actually, they’ve been giving me an earful all year. I didn’t invite them to the wedding.”
Pondering for a moment, Green suddenly became curious about Seon-woo’s friends.
“If I introduce you to my friends, will you introduce me to yours?”
“You’ve already met one of my friends.”
“I have? When?”
“Secretary-General Ahn Yong-ki has been my friend since high school.”
“Seriously? Ahn Yong-ki is your only friend?”
“Yes.”
At Seon-woo’s confident reply, Green was once again speechless. This man always managed to surprise or dumbfound her.

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.
