I reached out to the two choices that were actually one.
Then the letters that forced ‘YES’ shone brightly.
“Well thought, Elizabeth!”
Zero joyfully jumped at my quest acceptance. Seeing Zero like that, I firmly said,
“Instead, I’ll move according to my will this time.”
For that, I urgently needed the help of Duke Keaton, Elizabeth’s father.
So, having returned to the Duke’s residence, I first ran to Elizabeth’s father, who was also the Duke.
“Father!”
Duke Henry Keaton seemed very unhappy as he was unable to attend the important event of the Crown Prince’s wedding in the palace, being preoccupied at home to fix the mess I had made by pretending to be a villainess.
“What is this? You seem determined to bring shame to our family. Didn’t the Emperor himself warn that both you and I will be placed under house arrest if you cause another disturbance?”
“That’s not what’s important! Zombies, no, monsters have broken out in the palace!”
“What nonsensical talk is that? The palace security is a thoroughly secure place, suddenly monsters are…”
“It’s true! The first victim of the monster infection was Her Highness the Crown Princess, and those infected with the monster turn into flesheating beasts.”
Like monsters.
“What did you say?”
“I saw it clearly with my own eyes! Even in the palace, there were barriers so that people couldn’t get out. You can’t escape without the blood of a person who has become a monster… no, a beast.”
“……Is that really true?”
“Yes. It seemed like someone intentionally targeted the day of His Highness the Crown Prince’s wedding for this plot.”
At my words, Duke Keaton’s face turned fierce.
Being a god of the empire, the Duke would painfully understand how dangerous this situation is.
The criminal chose the day of the Crown Prince’s national wedding, used a vile trick to turn the Crown Princess into a zombie, and even blockaded the royal family.
This is clear treason.
I breathed deeply and shouted at the Duke with conviction,
“We must contact the magic tower immediately to break the barrier in the palace!”
Loyalty to the royal family? It’s not that, I just want to go home.
I spoke with sincerity rising from the desire to go home quickly, but Duke Keaton’s reaction was quite dull.
“How can I believe that? Do you know how big a burden it is to take troops to the palace? It could be considered rebellion.”
Yes, your honor. Your daughter, notorious for being madly in love, suddenly claims monsters have broken out in the palace; you must think I’ve gone mad.
Ah, but this is a real emergency!
‘If I knew it would come to this, I would have taken some evidence when I ran away.’
No, but I had to survive first, who would have thought to take something?
Unaware of my bursting frustration, Duke Keaton was cold.
“Is it not because today is the wedding day of the Crown Prince whom you’ve been plotting against?”
This rotten…
When you act too well as a lovecrazed original villainess, there comes a moment when it feels like you’ll go mad.
‘I’m not doing anything because of that person!’
Crown Prince? He’s not my type. The Crown Prince has a truly perfect classical prince appearance. Blond and blueeyed.
I like black hair and red eyes. If I must choose, I love the cold and lonely Northern Duke style. Therefore, the Crown Prince is totally off my radar.
‘Come to think of it, wasn’t there a Northern Duke character in ‘The Flower Girl’?’
A younger brother of the Crown Prince, the 2nd Prince, who is hardly mentioned in the work, but exactly my type of handsome man.
‘Chase after such a man!’
The Crown Prince? This was an insult to my taste.
‘Zero, I don’t need to act like Elizabeth Keaton now, do I?’
「Eh? Uh……. That, that’s right? Since the original has been completely destroyed.」
Good.
‘I don’t need to act like the original villainess anymore, now that we have a zombie situation.’
Let’s be honest.
I threw away the mask of a vain young duchess that I had shown before the Duke and said firmly,
“The Crown Prince is, absolutely, not the reason.”
From the beginning, that person, engaged to Elizabeth, had moved on because he fell for the heroine.
A handsome face means nothing. A piece of crap is a piece of crap. Even if he’s the male protagonist in a novel, it doesn’t mean he isn’t a piece of crap.
“My father might not believe my story. But a truly unprecedented emergency has occurred. We must act quickly to protect the royal family.”
At this moment, the character Elizabeth Keaton seemed truly pitiful. She knew that her father, the duke, disapproved of her, but she never expected that he would ignore her completely.
“So?”
“Pretend to be deceived just once, and take the magicians to break the barrier around the imperial palace.”
Without hesitation, I unfastened the brooch, a token of the Keaton duchy, from my lapel and handed it to the duke.
“I will wager this. Will you believe me then?”
Without this brooch, Elizabeth Keaton was nothing. Losing this clear proof of identity, tantamount to being banished from the family.
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.
