“Besides, I’m a trainee now, right? A trainee must give their all to their duties.”
“Is that so? Then I must give my all to my duties as a drill instructor.”
Relieved that Biyeong seemed to lose interest, Yeonwoo internally sighed in relief.
Biyeong had never thought about the man Yeonwoo would marry in the future.
The girl who was always so young was now a full-grown woman eligible for marriage.
Yet, he couldn’t imagine another man beside Yeonwoo.
Why did the thought of a nonexistent man for Yeonwoo make him feel uneasy?
No matter how much he pondered, he couldn’t find the reason.
Skilled in martial arts but naïve in emotions, that was Biyeong.
Before training, Biyeong was an infinitely kind brother, but as training started, he transformed.
“Put on a sandbag on each leg.”
His soft demeanor vanished, replaced by the stern face of a drill instructor.
“Quick footwork is essential in real combat. Wearing these sandbags is to build stamina and move lightly for attack and defense against enemies.”
The weight of the sandbags, unnoticed when carried separately, became significant once strapped to the body.
Running with sandbags was a common part of regular training.
Following Biyeong’s instructions, Yeonwoo strapped the sandbags to her legs, readying to run.
“Should I start running around the training ground now?”
“Yes. But first, put on this leather armor.”
Biyeong then placed a set of leather armor before Yeonwoo.
Contrary to expectations, the armor dropped heavily to the ground with a thud.
Knowing leather shouldn’t make such a sound, Yeonwoo picked it up with apprehension.
As suspected, the armor was unexpectedly heavy and hard, as if it had stones inside.
“The armor feels too hard, almost like it’s filled with stones.”
“Of course. It does have stones inside.”
Yeonwoo’s suspicion was correct.
Checking the inside of the armor, she found stones wrapped in cloth.
“Wearing this to run…?”
Seeing Yeonwoo’s incredulous look, Biyeong nodded affirmatively.
Then, with a cheerful smile, he uttered a daunting statement.
“You’ll run 50 laps wearing it.”
The dawn hours were completely spent running around the training grounds.
Breathing became labored, sweat poured like a waterfall, and her heart pounded as if it would burst out.
The special training continued late into the night after the trainees’ training had ended and resumed every morning and evening, turning into a daily ordeal.
Exhausted from sweating all day and rolling in the dirt, Yeonwoo was in a sorry state.
Her muscles screamed from every part of her body, and the copious sweat made her feel sticky and grimy.
Normally cautious of revealing her gender, she had been wiping her body with a damp cloth, but today, that wouldn’t suffice.
She desperately needed a proper bath.
Ensuring everyone in the barracks was asleep, Yeonwoo sneaked out.
She hurried to a nearby stream she had noticed before.
“Nobody’s around, right…?”
After thoroughly checking for anyone’s presence, Yeonwoo began to peel off her layers of clothing.
The thickly layered clothes formed a small mound on the ground as she laid them down one by one.
It was no wonder she was soaked in sweat, having to wear so many layers to conceal her feminine physique.
Once she removed her clothing, Yeonwoo’s pale skin was fully exposed to the moonlight.
Her feet dipped in the stream, causing small ripples on the surface.
―Plop.
Soon, Yeonwoo fully submerged herself in the stream.
The fatigue from the day’s training seemed to wash away with the water, enveloping her in a pleasant coolness.
“Ah… I feel alive.”
The moon, emitting a soft glow, created a mystical atmosphere, and the sparkling stars beautifully adorned the sky, drawing out her admiration.
Bathing in the stream that reflected the night sky felt like bathing in heaven.
The sweet sound of insects added to the charm of the place, making it a blissful escape.
Then, an unwelcome sound disturbed Yeonwoo’s peace.
The crunching sound of gravel underfoot indicated someone’s approach.
―Trudge, trudge.
The footsteps grew closer, and soon the rustling of clothes could be heard.
Yeonwoo quickly hid behind a nearby rock, peering out with just her eyes above the water.
She watched intently towards the source of the sound, and soon the figure of the person emerged.
Bathed in moonlight, the familiar face became clear to Yeonwoo.
“Sir Gwangho…?”
Illuminated by the moon’s halo, the figure revealed itself to be Gun, the fearsome tiger of Baekaksan.
And he was in a state of undress, with his upper body completely exposed.
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.
