In frustration, Gyu-chil shouted abruptly. The startled caddy let go of the steering wheel. The cart, passing through a sloping corner, couldn’t regain its balance and staggered, tilting to the side.
“Hey! Can’t you drive properly?”
From the cart about to flip over, Gyu-chil shouted with a distorted face. The frightened caddy also shouted.
On the way to visit Seokhwa, Taejun, who had worked late, ended up giving a ride to Manager Moonkyung, whose departure was delayed.
When Taejun mentioned that he was going to see Seokhwa, Moonkyung confessed first about what happened recently.
“To be honest, President Kim Seokhwa called me a few days ago. He asked me how it would be if he introduced a woman to you, Director. I couldn’t answer.”
“I thought so.”
“…….”
“Aunt noticed and asked. Even Aunt knew about Miss Han Soeun.”
“Ah…….”
In response to Taejun’s answer, Moonkyung looked awkward. No matter how much she tried to hide, it was indeed a struggle that she couldn’t escape from President Kim Seokhwa.
With a bitter smile, a sarcastic laughter escaped Taejun’s lips.
“Isn’t it amusing? All this time, living as one pleases, yet controlling emotions when it comes to the most important matters.”
“…President Kim Seokhwa might have mentioned it because he was concerned about you. But he won’t oppose it to the end. He’s a very understanding person.”
Although Moonkyung had some desire to gossip with Taejun to some extent, she carefully maintained a neutral position. Despite working closely with the royal family, she could roughly guess their lifestyle, but it didn’t mean she understood their lives. Perhaps it was something she would never understand in her lifetime.
After driving in silence for a while, Taejun asked.
“You said you dated for several years, right?”
“About 10 years. We had a lot of ups and downs. We thought we would break up someday because of strong opposition from my in-laws, but in the end, we got married.”
“It must have been tough for you.”
“Now that it’s over, it’s just a memory.”
Moonkyung quietly watched Taejun nodding for a long time.
Seokhwa felt nervous when Taejun was said to be visiting the office.
After confirming his nephew’s harsh attitude the day before, Seokhwa’s heart had been fluttering all day. She discovered a new side of her nephew, whom she had known to be polite, kind, and affectionate all this time.
Perhaps that was his true nature, and she hadn’t known. Despite Taejun’s words, they only contacted each other once in a while. While Taejun might be like a son to Seokhwa, Taejun might have never considered Seokhwa as family.
Not long after, a sharp knock echoed, and the secretary entered.
“President, Director Kim Taejun is here.”
As the secretary left and the door opened, Taejun entered. His neatly expressionless face made her feel polite. Seokhwa, who had stood up from her chair, gestured for Taejun to take a comfortable seat and sat in front of him.
Still, being an adult, she had to speak first, but she couldn’t figure out what words to start with. The dryness of her lips was somewhat stinging.
“Taejun-ah. I…”
“Aunt.”
Before Seokhwa could call Taejun’s name, Taejun spoke.
“I was wrong.”
“…”
“Don’t say it, Aunt.”
It was such an easy apology. And that easy apology was a means of earnest plea.
“If she knows that, she’ll leave. She’ll leave without looking back.”
Initially, Seokhwa thought it meant not to tell Chairman Kim Jaepil. Since Chairman Kim knew about her kicking Han Soeun out of the house 20 years ago. However, Taejun’s direction was different. That girl, Han Soeun, shouldn’t be told, was the meaning.
Han Soeun doesn’t know what my father did 20 years ago.
That fact was surprising, but my nephew’s reaction was even more surprising.
Yesterday, my nephew, who had treated my aunt as if she were a perfect stranger, changed his attitude 180 degrees in just one day and made a desperate plea. He looked even more pitiful than yesterday.
“She’s just a friend. So… whatever it is, I’ll do it.”
His deep and sturdy voice seemed to tremble as if enduring the wind. His eyes, as if trying to withstand a stormy typhoon, were pitiful.
He’s scared.
He seemed fearless, so I, watching him, felt nervous.
Yesterday’s nephew was like a fearless child confidently stepping on a slippery glass surface. Despite being anxious, Seokhwa couldn’t even breathe, while the barefoot child, already bleeding, seemed to have no intention of turning back.
Maybe that sight would have been better.
Seeing my nephew taking a low position to protect the girl, Seokhwa’s heart ached.
“Please pretend you don’t know about that friend.”
Once again, this child sacrificed himself for me like this.
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.
