After meeting Cha Seung-jo at the hospital, two days later, S Hotel Korean restaurant.
This place not only had delicious food but also each table was separated into individual private rooms, making it suitable for important discussions.
Having agreed to meet Vice President Cha Jae-woo here at 2 p.m., Dokang, due to his anxiety, arrived 30 minutes early.
In a tumultuous state of mind, he repeatedly splashed cold water on his face with rough hands.
Due to the nervousness, his already emaciated face had become so pale and discolored that it made him look even more miserable.
‘Opportunities are not abundant. Only once, just once.’
It was for his son.
My son, Min-woo.
Although he couldn’t give him his last name, Min-woo was the only trace he left in this world.
Whether he could reveal himself as a father while still alive was uncertain, but regardless, Dokang wanted to do anything for his son.
Having worked as Cha Seung-jo’s secretary for a long time, Dokang had subtly exposed Min-woo at opportune times, taking the initiative to direct important information toward Min-woo more quickly than anticipated.
Quietly, methodically, and faster than expected, he worked behind the scenes so that Min-woo could rise without being noticed.
Neither Cha Seung-jo nor Min-woo noticed.
It was what he could do as a father.
Before he knew it, a knocking sound came from outside the room.
‘Once, just once… Just once! I can’t miss this opportunity! Stay calm and act natural.’
“Ahem. Yes, come in.”
With Dokang’s refined response, the door slowly opened.
As an unexpected figure appeared before him, Dokang unintentionally stood up.
His eyes, as if shocked, lost their focus and shook from side to side.
The person who entered the room was none other than Kim Ji-won.
“Uh… President Kim Ji-won. What brings you here?”
“Long time no see, Secretary Choi. It seems like this is the first time we’ve met since Chairman Cha’s incident, right? It looks like your face has gotten quite beaten up during Chairman’s affair.”
Dokang swallowed hard, trying not to show any signs of nervousness while looking at Ji-won.
She naturally sat opposite Dokang, making herself comfortable.
“Why are you standing like this? Please sit down, Secretary Choi.”
At Ji-won’s words, Dokang, frozen like ice, slowly took his seat.
“Originally, I was supposed to meet Vice President Cha Jae-woo today…”
“Yes, I know. While we were talking on the phone, Jae-woo mentioned that he ran into Secretary Choi after a long time, so we decided to come out together. I have something to tell you. But Jae-woo had an urgent matter. Please convey my apologies.”
With a knocking sound, a staff member entered to take the order.
“I’ll have green tea. What about you, Secretary Choi?”
However, Dokang, lost in his vacant gaze, couldn’t hear her story.
“Secretary Choi?”
Surprised by Ji-won’s question again, Dokang, startled, opened his eyes wide and looked at Ji-won.
“Yes?”
“I asked what you’d like to drink. We need to place an order.”
“Ah… I’ll just have water.”
Right now, I couldn’t focus on having something to drink.
I needed to smoothly pass this time quickly and arrange another meeting with Vice President Cha.
There wasn’t much time.
If I were to be late, there could be trouble if Cha Seung-jo found someone else.
“Just give me two cups of green tea.”
After Ji-won placed the order, and the staff left the room, she stared straight at Dokang.
“Why are you so restless, Secretary Choi?”
“Yes?”
“Your face has turned pale. Is it because of my unexpected appearance?”
“That’s not it… No, it’s nothing.”
“By the way, you said there’s something important to tell Vice President Cha due to Chairman Cha’s affair?”
“What do you mean by that…?”
“Isn’t it about asking Jae-woo to come out because of that matter?”
“Oh, it’s nothing. I’ll convey it when I meet Vice President Cha Jae-woo later.”
Ji-won chuckled at his words.
“Is it something you have to talk to Vice President about, but not to me?”
“It’s not like that. It’s something that Chairman doesn’t need to worry about…”
“It’s nothing significant, but you have to talk to Vice President about it? I’m curious now.”
Though she laughed, Dokang remained silent, gazing fixedly at the table.
He looked extremely unnatural, and his eyes darted nervously, revealing his anxiety.
“Is it not about this story?”
Dokang suddenly raised his head and looked at Ji-won.
“Min-woo and Chairman Cha’s blood or something like that… What kind of talk is that?”
“What? What are you talking about now!”
However, at that moment, he could figure it out.
‘It’s her! She’s the one who told Chairman Cha! But how did she know? When? How? Kim Ji-won, how much do you know?’
Although he remained silent and motionless, Dokang’s mind was filled with countless questions.
“Why are you sweating so much, Secretary Choi? Are you not feeling well?”
To Ji-won’s kind inquiry, Dokang couldn’t say anything and just chewed his lower lip nervously.
“Or are you surprised at how I knew? Min-woo’s father?”
Ji-won learned the truth not so long ago.
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.
