Bang!
“Your Majesty…?”
Lian turned his head in surprise.
Against the backdrop of a blue moon, Rascal was grimacing terribly. Since no one was around, it seemed he had purposely sent the guards away.
“It’s a Blue Moon! Weren’t you supposed to be with the Empress?”
Lian was on duty near the Emperor’s palace.
It was unintended, but he had to be punished when an accident occurred, causing the Empress to fall into the water.
A momentary blindness caused by that damn bird led to a mistake. Of course, it was not without a sense of injustice to call it a mistake.
No one would have guessed that a school of fish would hit the boat just as it was about to jump off.
Still, it was his fault, so he quietly accepted the Golden Sword Order, which had been reduced by a full month. Rascal was quite lenient with the shadow knights, so he could continue hunting birds during the day. It was a great relief.
“……I’m angry.”
“What?”
Thud, thump.
Blood dripped from Rascal’s mouth onto the carpet.
Rascal wiped his lips with his fist and spoke hoarsely.
“It’s because of what I did.”
“Ah, you mean Her Majesty, the Empress?”
Lian quickly ran over and supported Rascal, catching the blood with his own clothes.
“……No, did you drive Her Majesty away knowing the Blue Moon? Does Her Majesty have no heart? Even a complete stranger wouldn’t do such a thing, let alone a companion!”
As he dragged Rascal to the bedroom, Lian couldn’t stop his anger.
“Lian.”
Rascal stopped.
“Yes, Your Ma”
“Maintain your manners when you speak of the Empress.”
“Ah… Yes, Your Majesty?”
Lian made a bewildered face.
The Blue Moon had risen. Rascal was spitting blood. It meant that the inside of his body was beginning to twist.
He hadn’t expected to talk about manners towards the Empress in such a situation.
“I am…”
“Cough!”
At that moment, Rascal coughed up blood. There were clots in it.
“I’ll move you now, Your Majesty.”
Lian quickly supported Rascal and moved him to the bed. Opening a drawer in the bedroom, he took out medicine bottles and poured them into Rascal’s mouth.
They were painkillers and sleeping pills mixed with opium.
He didn’t know if they would be effective, but he could only hope that they would alleviate some of the pain.
“Shall I tie you down?”
Having emptied all the bottles, Lian ran around the room closing windows and bolting them.
“……It’s fine. I won’t last long anyway.”
Rascal’s clothes were soaked with fresh blood. He must have coughed up more blood.
“What can I do for you? Just tell me, Your Majesty.”
Every time this happened, Lian was angry at his helplessness, and he despised the Empress.
Now that a glimmer of hope had arisen that the Empress might be genuine, it increased. The Empress had the power to control the blood of demons but stood idly by, ignoring this agony.
If he had his way, he would like to lock the Empress in Rascal’s room, even dragging her in.
“If you permit me, I’ll bring Her Majesty here.”
“Denied. Get out.”
“……Your Majesty.”
“Get out.”
“…….”
Lian bit his lip.
But he couldn’t disobey the imperial decree.
“Lock the door tightly, so I don’t run out and find the Empress.”
“……As you wish.”
With bite marks on his lips, Lian left the bedroom.
As Rascal said, he bolted the bedroom door with three iron bolts and wrapped chains around it. Lian then collapsed onto the floor.
“Damn it.”
Lian pulled at his hair as if he would tear it out. Tonight, the moonlight flowing from the demon realm was cruelly pale.
From the firmly closed bedroom, he could hear Rascal’s groaning. Every time he heard it, Lian, who had been violently tugging at his hair, suddenly jumped up.
“……No, I can’t stand it.”
Lian ran towards the Empress’s palace.
[This is the time separator]
Tap, tap.
“……Huh?”
Tap, tap.
Rasilia, who had briefly fallen asleep, opened her eyes at the sound of the window rattling.
Outside the window, a black shadow was lurking.
“Ah… It’s you.”
Yes, yes. Open the door, open it.
“Just a moment.”
Rasilia got off the bed and looked for her shoes. As she put on her shoes, the process of taking them off came to mind, and her shoulder unconsciously flinched.
“What’s going on?”
It was a black bird.
This, this.
The black bird nudged something it had laid on the window frame with its head.
“What’s this?”
On picking it up impulsively, it was a stone tinged with red. It looked remarkably similar to the red egg she had seen in her dream.
Rasilia asked in surprise,
“What’s this? It’s not really an egg, is it?”
Keep it well, keep it well.
“Answer me. Is this an egg?”
Don’t know. I don’t know that.
“Then why did you bring it?”
Giving it back. It was originally here.
“Huh? What do you mean?”
The black bird rolled its eyes and shook its head vigorously.
Don’t know. It was here, it was here. That woman, she stole it.
“This was originally here, and someone stole it? Who exactly is that woman?”
At that, the black bird let out a weary sigh, as if tired.
That woman. That human. Bothers us.
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.
