It was a late afternoon, and Kim Tae-seok was patrolling the palace as usual. When he turned a corner, a hand suddenly grabbed him by the collar, and Kim Tae-seok was helplessly dragged.
“Thud!”
As his back forcefully hit the wall, a groan escaped from Kim Tae-seok’s mouth.
“Krrk!”
Regaining consciousness and looking ahead, he saw the familiar face of someone.
“It’s been a while.”
A chilly voice reminiscent of a winter frost, sharp eyes as if facing a hungry beast.
Caught off guard by the unexpected appearance, Kim Tae-seok stumbled with his words.
“G-Gwangho-gun nari?”
“I’ve been following my person lately.”
!”
Feeling a piercing aura, Kim Tae-seok, tense, swallowed hard.
It seemed that the incident of trailing a woman had been exposed.
“Srrung.”
A spine-chilling sound was heard.
If Geon breathed, it felt like frosty breath would come out immediately.
The chilling sensation of the blade touched Kim Tae-seok’s neck.
“Do you really want to die?”
“H-Hold on. This is the palace.”
Since this was the palace, even if it was Gwangho-gun, he couldn’t casually touch him.
However, as if Geon was peeking into Kim Tae-seok’s inner thoughts, he swung the sword that had touched his neck.
“Shashak!”
When Kim Tae-seok’s tightly tied cord broke, countless secret beads fell to the ground.
Seeing that his neck was unharmed, it seemed that Geon had only cut the cord.
As Kim Tae-seok’s legs gave way, Geon matched his height and bowed his waist.
It was the place where Kim Tae-seok had been stabbed by Geon’s dagger a few days ago when he attacked Myeongok’s house.
“Kkh!”
Another low groan escaped from Kim Tae-seok’s mouth.
The pain, as if his shoulder was being torn apart, didn’t seem to ease because the wound hadn’t healed.
With a voice full of vitality, Geon growled.
“Think carefully. Between me and your master, who will lose their head faster?”
“Kuhuk!”
As Geon’s strength increased, an indescribable pain pierced Kim Tae-seok’s shoulder.
When the sky above him turned yellow, Geon released his grip.
“It won’t end with a warning next time.”
With those words, Geon left.
Pressed by the aura Geon left behind, Kim Tae-seok couldn’t get up for a while.
The pain in his shoulder began to subside as the stiffness eased.
As Kim Tae-seok’s senses gradually returned, he started to regain his composure.
He had been exposed for trailing Gwangho-gun, and Geon mentioned the master from his mouth.
This meant that Gwangho-gun knew about the truth of the past assassination incident. It was clear that everyone by Gwangho-gun’s side had already known.
The testimony of a mere soldier could not be evidence, so there was nothing Geon could do against the real powers like Minister Minsangju and the Crown Prince.
However, due to the recent incident, Kim Tae-seok’s body tremors did not stop.
Geon’s threat would not be a simple bluff.
If his life was precious, he had to compromise at least this time.
Inside the medical office barracks of Gwangho-gun’s unit.
Yeonwoo, who revealed his identity to Choa, spoke hesitantly in confusion.
“How did you know? I mean, since when…”
“When Yeonwoo-nari came to our house, I knew it.”
Yeonwoo recalled the day he had visited Choa’s house with Dae-bok, the day he had been caught.
He thought he hadn’t been discovered since Choa showed no particular reaction, but it seemed Yeonwoo’s speculation was wrong.
“Even though I worked in Hyeminseo, taking care of many people, do you think I can’t distinguish between male and female bodies?”
Choa was convinced when she slightly lowered Yeonwoo’s pants. There was no masculinity in the curves extending from Yeonwoo’s pelvis to below the abdomen.
With the thought that his identity had been properly exposed, Yeonwoo’s face turned pale.
“I-I must ask you not to tell anyone about this.”
“Don’t worry. Who would I tell?”
Choa smiled reassuringly, as if comforting the anxious Yeonwoo.
“I never knew Yeonwoo-nari was a woman, but it’s a dream. I apologize for deceiving you.”
“I… I’m not blaming you. In fact, I felt relieved knowing that Yeonwoo-nari is a woman.”
Choa spoke calmly.
“I grew up without male friends, so when I talked to Yeonwoo-nari, my heart felt comfortable, like talking to a long-time friend.”
“I felt the same way.”
“So, I wanted to get closer to Yeonwoo-nari… Even though I’ve met you while living a busy life, I didn’t have the leisure to make friends. And meeting Choa for the first time was as good as meeting a friend of the same gender.”
“After finding out that Yeonwoo-nari is a woman, I wanted to get even closer. I don’t know if there’s a reason for cross-dressing, but I won’t ask because it must be an unspoken reason.”
Choa grabbed Yeonwoo’s hand and spoke.
“I will keep Yeonwoo-nari’s secret until the end. Take care of yourself in the future.”
“Choa Agassi…”
Touched by Choa’s sincerity, Yeonwoo gently placed his hand on top of the hand she held.
A warm feeling passed between their palms.
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.
