How To Choose A Knight (28 Chapters Left to Complete) - Chapter 82
His body had aged, but his judgment had not grown dull. The old man knew who would not ruin this beautiful estate—and who must never ascend to a higher position.
The only reason he had hesitated was that Jade Broen was clearly astute, and her relationship with Felix had been strained since childhood due to old resentments. What would happen later was as clear as fire.
Mabel knew she had failed to give Felix enough attention because she had loved Yannick so dearly, and now she wanted to make it up to him—since Yannick was already gone.
Yet the moment she met his greedy eyes at the gambling den, even that resolve wavered.
How could he be so foolish? He was utterly unbelievable as her own blood.
To keep Jade under her thumb and wield her as a tool, she needed someone to keep her in check—but of all people, Felix had turned out like this. Choosing Ascela wasn’t an option either, for she was far too weak, leaving Mabel with painfully few choices.
The heir standing before her, despite bearing impure blood, wasn’t bad. No, not bad at all. After all, he had rarely disobeyed her so far and was even diligently searching for a fiancée as promised.
Even tainted blood, when continually mixed with pure blood, would eventually become diluted.
The old man had grown weak. And so, he finally nodded.
“…Fine. You will personally oversee the coming-of-age ceremony preparations. But ensure the engagement ceremony and the coming-of-age ceremony are no more than a month apart.”
“Yes, I will. Holding them together wouldn’t be bad either.”
“I’ll say this once more—”
“You’ll insist that if your fiancée doesn’t please you like your mother did, you’ll leave Avern’s golden vault to your distant cousin, your three farms and the lands of Diloa to Ascela, and the heirship to your uncle. I know.”
It was a tale she’d heard endlessly since childhood. The child who once trembled in fear and sorrow at those words, spoken almost like a threat, had now grown tall—but still.
Jade smiled and rose to her feet. Mabel, looking up at the suddenly taller figure, let out a quiet sigh.

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.
