I tore the curtains hurriedly inside the mansion and covered my body.
A woman who let her hair down and wrapped herself with a curtain.
Even if she looks mad, she won’t look like a lascivious criminal. She must not.
Then I hastened my steps cautiously. Blood had dripped a little on the thigh I cut earlier, and the soles of my bare feet stung. I was scared and trembling, but still, I was happy.
I’m escaping like this, right? Besides, I was not a hedgehog but a human being. Now I didn’t have to worry about my lifespan.
Baekho, you son of a, you don’t need a mustache like that.
I arrived at the entrance of the mansion earlier. I hid behind a large wall and looked around.
The previous commotion was nowhere to be seen. I walked tiptoeing silently.
But everywhere were traces of blood and torn clothes. But there was no dead person to be seen. It was strange.
Feeling creepy, I hid myself in the dark forest.
The grass and trees brushed against me. With one hand, I tightly held the curtain clothing so that it wouldn’t get caught on the tree branches, and with the other, I vigorously parted the trees.
I didn’t go far before I stopped dead in my tracks.
‘What’s that over there?’
I couldn’t see well in the dark. I was on full alert, hiding behind a bush and waiting for a long time to see if it moved.
“Uh….”
Uh?
It was a human sound. I blinked my eyes repeatedly to identify it. As I got used to the darkness, I could see who it was.
White skin and silver hair that seemed to bundle up the moonlight. A large, thick body like a rock.
What lay sprawled on the ground was Eidrish.
He seemed to have lost consciousness.
Except somewhere, he seemed injured, his face twisted in pain, covered with cold sweat.
Did he get seriously injured while fighting?
But on Eidrish’s body, except for the wound he got from the arrow when he first blocked me, nothing was visible.
There were bloodstains, but they seemed to belong to other people.
I hesitated and then picked up a small stone from around me. Then I threw it gently at Eidrish. The stone hit Eidrish’s thigh and fell to the ground. Eidrish had no reaction.
“Was it too weak? Right, that’s a tiger. An animal that didn’t flinch even at my teeth, so I have to throw harder.”
This time I picked up a bigger stone than before.
I threw a stone at him again. This time the stone struck his right chest.
“Uh….”
Eidrish’s face cringed sharply. He raised his hand and clutched his chest. He looked in great pain.
Did I throw it too hard this time? It didn’t seem like that.
But the certain thing was that Eidrish couldn’t wake up now.
I carefully came out of the bushes. I had to pass by Eidrish to move forward.
Thankfully, the grass on my bare feet didn’t make much noise.
Eidrish got closer and closer. The closer I got, the more clearly I heard Eidrish’s heavy breathing. When I passed Eidrish’s head, I saw his face clearly.
His long eyelashes were heavily drooping under his eyes. Under his eyes were dark, and his lips were pale.
It’s strange. From the outside, it looks like there’s no wound at all.
Considering the momentum when Baekho attacked the hooded men earlier, it didn’t make sense that Eidrish would lose consciousness with such an injury.
Maybe he got hurt protecting me earlier?
“Eek.”
I covered my mouth with both hands. What if his stomach was too sore to attack properly? So he got beaten up horribly by the hooded people and fainted!
Then he’s dying because of me! Am I a murderer?
I shook my head.
No. I didn’t do anything wrong.
From the start, they were targeting Eidrish. And if you argue, since Eidrish locked me up there, it’s something Eidrish brought upon himself.
The conclusion came soon enough.
Just go. I’m busy saving my life.
Besides, Eidrish is a villain. Perhaps dying early might be better for this world…
While thinking so, I bit my lip hard.
Such a person is better off dead, a phrase I really hated.
I’ve heard enough of it in my past life, too.
“It’s better to die early than to make your family suffer like that. I think I’d bite my tongue and die.”
I despised myself but forced myself to look away and moved my feet.
I deliberately didn’t look back. Because of the darkness and dense grass, Idrish quickly disappeared from sight.
But strangely, his afterimage became clearer and clearer.
His slightly furrowed eyebrows, pale skin, and dry lips. The big man looked pitiful, uncharacteristically so.
There must be another problem. If we don’t treat it quickly, something really bad will happen. What if he’s neglected and discovered much later?
Idrish saved me earlier.
I didn’t know why, but it was clear that he had prevented me from being skewered by the arrow. And yet, leaving him dying and fleeing didn’t sit well with me.
“No, let’s go. Idrish was a very bad guy in the novel……. Let’s go, let’s run away.”
But with every step, the lump in my chest grew larger. My pace slowed, and eventually, I came to a complete stop.
I looked back.
The mansion, and Idrish, were no longer in sight, but…
“Shall I only save him?”
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.
