Despite being surrounded by people, and expecting Challen to back off, he pulled her arm, bringing her closer. Kasalyn looked around, but no one seemed to view their interaction as strange. The slow tempo of the music made them appear to be just another couple dancing.
“What are you doing?”
“Why? You were so willing to dance with Emperor Parnes, but you refuse to even hold my hand? Are you still upset about today?”
“What do you mean…?”
Amidst the slow tempo of the music, they probably just looked like a pair of dancers to onlookers.
“What are you doing?”
“Why? You smiled so prettily when Emperor Parnes asked you to dance, but now you don’t even want to hold my hand? Are you still holding a grudge about today?”
“What are you talking about…?”
“Let’s not ruin the atmosphere any further.”
Though he spoke like a gentleman, Challen’s actions were anything but. He forcefully twisted Kasalyn’s arm, locking it in his grip.
His arm, which had embraced her countless times during their 10-year relationship, now felt like a snake slithering over her skin, bringing a wave of disgust.
“You’re just like all the other shameless men who touch a lady without her permission.”
“Who do you think Khan Kingdom belongs to?”
Challen asked, gripping Kasalyn’s slender waist and spinning her around.
“It’s mine. The royal family, the employees of the palace, and thus, you, being a maid, are no different.”
His jaws were tightly clenched, as if in anger.
Kasalyn couldn’t comprehend or follow his emotional turmoil. It was like watching a racehorse run amok.
“So listen carefully. You’re under my management. Don’t dare to inconvenience a neighboring country’s emperor or shamelessly seek his help without my permission. For the dignity of the Khan royal family.”
A suppressed rage boiled inside her like lava. Knowing that venting it would ruin the ball, Kasalyn could only push him away.
“You shouldn’t talk to me like that, Your Highness.”
“On the contrary. It’s because it’s me that I can say this.”
His face blurred beyond her tearful, burning vision.
Kasalyn bit her lip until it bled, holding back tears.
“Stop it. I don’t want to waste precious time arguing with you on such a day.”
Ten years were enough time wasted.
“Just promise me one thing then. That you won’t cozy up to Emperor Parnes again.”
“You think I was flirting with the emperor?”
“I’ve seen countless women like you. Blinded by money and power, trying to climb up the social ladder by latching onto a successful man.”
It’s called not knowing your place.
With a final sting, Challen left Kasalyn and went to Rose.
As Kasalyn danced with Parnes, swaying to the romantic melody, she was, frankly speaking, indescribably beautiful.
Her white ankles peeked out whenever her dress fluttered. Her hair, cascading down her slender back, was sinfully mesmerizing.
Parnes must have been watching her greedily from such a close distance.
“Your Highness!”
Startled from his reverie by Rose’s shrill voice, Challen snapped back to reality.
In a room dimly lit by a few old-fashioned candles, Rose, wearing a chemise, lay next to him, grumbling.
“Thinking so deeply with Rose right in front of you, huh?”
“Did I?”
“Yes, you did.”
Rose playfully tickled Challen, who gently pushed her hand away and sat up.
Realizing too late that Challen was not in the mood for playfulness, Rose got up, gauging his mood.
“You’ve been looking gloomy since the ball.”
“Not at all.”
“Just tell me anything. I, Rose, will…”
Before Rose could finish, Challen suddenly sprang up from the bed and hastily began to put on his clothes that were scattered on the floor.
The clock was pointing to two in the morning, which made Rose call out to him in bewilderment.
“Where are you going?”
“There’s something I need to do.”
“At this hour?”
“I remembered something I had forgotten. Don’t worry about me and go to sleep first.”
Rose couldn’t hide her bafflement.
Like someone late for an appointment, Challen hurriedly buttoned up his clothes and turned around, rushing out to somewhere.
The place he headed to secretly was Kasalyn’s room.
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.
