Hannah listened to the entire story but hesitated to speak, unsure if Green’s choice was the best.
Yet, seeing Green seemingly determined, Hannah felt she needed to support her.
“You fool. What about just the hospital fees? What about your life? If you marry into that family, you won’t be able to work!”
“Not able to work?”
Green, who hadn’t considered this, was taken aback.
“The wives in chaebol families are not encouraged to work. So make sure you calculate everything – hospital fees, living expenses, and the loss you’ll face from potentially quitting your job.”
“Isn’t it too demanding? It didn’t seem like he’d benefit much from marrying me.”
“Why would a mouse worry about a cat? Why should a commoner worry about a diamond spoon?”
Seeing Green still unconvinced, Hannah gulped down her water in frustration.
“When’s the engagement ceremony?”
“In a week.”
“Come to my house that morning. I’ll take full responsibility for dressing you up in a chaebol family engagement look.”
“Really? Hannah, you’re the best!”
Overwhelmed with gratitude, Green playfully shook Hannah’s shoulders. Hannah, in response, picked up a piece of kimbap and stuffed it into Green’s mouth.
“Negotiations are all about striking first. If you’re timid from the start, it’s over. I’ll dress you up so stunningly, you’ll be able to confidently get everything you’re entitled to.”
Although Green nodded vigorously, Hannah still seemed uneasy. To her, Green, who could stand up to anyone with a camera in hand, seemed like a naive child when it came to worldly matters.
“Where are you going? Home?”
“No, to mom’s.”
“Should I drop you off?”
“No, I’ll go alone.”
After parting with Hannah, Green visited the nursing hospital where her mother was admitted. She used her earnings for the day to pay off part of the overdue hospital bills and gazed at her mother, who lay there, breathing with the aid of an oxygen mask, looking so peaceful as if just deeply asleep.
‘If you knew what I’m about to do, you’d scold me, right? Always on dad’s side.’
Even though her mother couldn’t see her, Green’s lips involuntarily curled into a pout.
‘Do you still love a husband who never visits you in the hospital?’
While pondering these unanswerable questions, a caregiver approached her cautiously.
“I hate to say this, but I haven’t been paid for this month’s work yet.”
“Oh, please wait a little longer. I’ll definitely sort it out by this weekend.”
“I’m in a tight spot too. I’m counting on you.”
After the caregiver left, Green turned back to her mother.
In a situation where her father had squandered the little family wealth trying to save ‘Wide Affairs’ from bankruptcy every month, it was impossible for her to cover both the hospital and caregiving fees.
Two months ago, they even faced a crisis of their home being auctioned off.
As she reflected on her situation, her eyes hardened with resolve.
‘Mom, I’m sorry. I have to go through with this marriage.’
On the eve of the engagement, Sun-woo called Green to see if she was pleased with the big payback he had meticulously prepared.
“How is it?”
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.
