Before Carson left for war, he met Angeliana. She was wearing a dress as red as blood, a stark contrast to the simple attire she usually wore for meals. The extravagant dress didn’t suit the situation.
The thought that it was quite unusual crossed his mind first.
“It seems like you’re not making a fuss as usual; seems like you know what my father has done.”
Angeliana sensed his emotions keenly. As Carson mentioned, under normal circumstances, she would have raised her voice and screamed, veins popping out of her neck.
Even though he was the Emperor, he couldn’t just drag his daughter out of the Manissot mansion like a beast, and she would have shouted it out like a scream, declaring that even if she won, she would die, and if she lost, she would die. She had lived her whole life like that.
However, Angeliana couldn’t say anything. She couldn’t even take a breath, let alone make a sound.
He had been a man she had always admired since she was very young. Carson in his current state, angry and like this, was something she had never seen before. Unconsciously, her throat felt dry, and her shoulders stiffened.
“Even if I win, I die, and if I lose, I die.”
Angeliana quickly realized that the person he was talking about dying was herself.
“Even if my Empress dies, I die, and if you’re hurt, you die.”
“……. ”
“So, stand at the forefront of the battlefield and pray that Ines comes back safely. That’s the only way for you to live.”
“I, I…”
Carson’s steps, which were about to turn away, were halted by Angeliana’s trembling voice.
“I love Your Majesty. Loving Your Majesty is not a sin, is it?”
At her words, Carson burst into laughter loudly. It seemed like you were desperate, but his tone was somewhat affectionate.
“Yeah, love as much as you want. I don’t know if what you’re doing is love… but as you said, it’s not a sin.”
He was a man who never lost his composure in any situation. But the Carson Angeliana knew was not present in this place. Angeliana’s hand trembled with terror.
“I have no personal ill feelings towards you, Angeliana.”
“……. ”
“Thanks to my father, I’ve enjoyed living until now, so it’s only natural to accept dying because of his sins.”
He paused for a moment and smiled warmly.
“In a rebellious family…”
For some reason, that felt more chilling to Angeliana, and she eventually shed tears without making a sound.
“Words like abolishing the Feast of the Chrysanthemum are meaningless to the Duchess as well.”
Carson turned around, creating a gust of wind. At the same time he closed the door, the rich hem of her dress collapsed on the floor like withering flowers.
Carson and Manissot climbed up the hill, separated by a not-so-large field.
Carson closed his eyes for a moment, feeling the blowing wind. The sudden rebellion wouldn’t take too long to be resolved.
Although the enemy was unaware, their escape route was blocked.
“Ines’s whereabouts?”
“We found the enemy’s headquarters, but there has been no news since then.”
Carson mounted his horse, observing the enemy’s movements. As Angeliana was in the Emperor’s hands, the enemy in front of him wouldn’t easily launch an attack.
Perhaps Manissot would suggest bringing Ines and exchanging her for his daughter. As Carson mentioned, that was the only way for the lady to survive.
As soon as Ines was recovered, war would break out. When Carson raised his hand, the leader of the knights came out with Angeliana.
They weren’t far away, so he would soon be able to confirm his daughter’s appearance.
A frontal battle was inevitable. Carson sent people to where Manissot’s infantry was. They would soon engage in combat, so be prepared.
A knight, who had been watching the situation from the top of Elinsan, raised a red flag following Carson’s signal. Immediately, the knights of Manissot would launch an attack.
Carson looked down at the trembling Angeliana and silently prayed.
Please let his wife come back safely, please. Otherwise, his wrath might turn this country into ruins.
At the time when he was making threats he couldn’t say to God, a messenger arrived from the opposing camp. Noah, standing by his side, waited anxiously until Carson finished reading the letter.
“What does it say?”
“Just as we predicted.”
Manissot sent a letter proposing the exchange of his daughter and Ines in the middle of the field. The condition was that only one knight from each side should come forward.
Carson naturally accepted the proposal.
And soon, Ines appeared.
The Emperor squinted, scrutinizing her figure. First and foremost, her bright golden hair captured his attention like the sun. Although her face was blurry due to the distance, the robe she was wearing matched Ines’s.
Her arms seemed to be tied behind her, but as she stood there, there didn’t seem to be any significant injuries. Immediately, a mask was placed over her head.
Led by the knight, she walked slowly.
Stumble, stumble, stumble.
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.
