“I already liked you, Ian.”
“……. ”
“Why aren’t you saying anything?”
Ian’s eyes, which were vibrating delicately, came to a halt. For a long time, he didn’t blink, just exhaling shallow breaths.
“… Because it’s hard to believe.”
“It’s my heart, and I didn’t know until now. It’s not the right time to delve into it, but… it keeps coming out.”
“……. ”
Ian’s chest swelled, then settled down. Breathing slowly, Ian lowered his gaze to look at me.
Seeing the perplexed expression on his face, I spoke again.
“I didn’t see you as a man back then. What I said to you… so…”
Suppressing the desire to hug Ian, sometimes wanting to approach him first.
What had been restrained suddenly burst out.
“……. ”
“You said something to me. That… what was it? Desires and such… I think that’s what it was, I also.”
Ian, blinking his eyes slowly, asked, “Yes? Desires?”
“You told me. That vulgar desires were flying around in your head. I had something similar…”
Ian, narrowing his eyes as if searching through memories, quickly blinked his eyes.
Why does it seem like his ears are turning red every time he blinks?
“Are you okay? Your face seems to be turning red…”
“Don’t look.”
Ian desperately covered his face with my shoulder, as if burying his face in my face.
“Sorry, I was trying to say that I felt similar emotions to you…”
I should have said it the other way around. What am I supposed to do when he brings up the desire talk?
A belated sense of embarrassment made me involuntarily cough.
“Since it’s so awkward, can you step back a bit?”
It was a moment when I was about to gently push Ian away. Suddenly, when I raised my head, our eyes met, and at that moment, his firm arms wrapped around my waist.
“I don’t want to.”
“… If you don’t like it, just say so.”
Laughing lightly, I pushed Ian’s waist back. But when I tried to distance myself, his shoulders flinched.
Why is he so adorable, seriously?
“Call me one more time.”
“What?”
“My name.”
It’s not difficult.
“My name.”
Well, it’s not difficult.
I immediately mentioned his name.
“Klein?”
“No, not that name.”
When I tilted my head, Ian conveyed something with his mouth.
“…Ian?”
As soon as I mentioned the name, a soft laughter reached my ears. My chest tickled, and at some point, it became hard to breathe.
“In the future, can you continue to call me by that name?”
“If anyone overhears…”
“Then only when there’s no one around.”
“I’ll call you then.”
He slightly nodded, and as if whispering in my ear, he murmured in a low voice.
“No one is here now.”
“I know that much, Ian.”
Ian, who had been waiting, met my gaze and smiled brightly.
“…Do you really like me?”
Instead of answering, I reached out and tightly hugged Ian’s back. As we touched more deeply, his hand on my waist, which had been wrapped around, trembled.
“Close your eyes.”
“What, what are you saying?”
“Can’t you hear my heartbeat?”
“……. ”
“I can hear your heartbeat very well.”
“I can hear it.”
As his warm breath tickled my ear, laughter burst out involuntarily. Eventually, I separated from his embrace and gently held Ian’s face.
Holding onto him firmly, when our intense gaze met, I couldn’t help but cough awkwardly. After lightly clearing my throat, I slowly made eye contact with him.
“I like you, Ian.”
The shimmering eyes gradually stopped moving. In his unwavering gaze, my face was vividly reflected.
“…So, can I openly like you now, senior?”
“As much as you want.”
“You should be prepared.”
He replied with a faint smile.
Yes, I hesitated because I was afraid of not being able to face this face.
The reason I couldn’t easily decide to go on a mission to Baejakryeong, which would be a great help to the forces.
At least, during the more than one year I would stay there, I wouldn’t be able to see Ian.
I couldn’t endure that.
Of course, there were concerns about others, but the most significant reason…
“Senior, someone is coming this way.”
“What?”
Immediately leaving Ian’s embrace, I casually looked around.
Who could be coming when it seems like no one is around?
“It seems to be Senior Edwin.”
Before his words could finish, Edwin, walking from the main building, appeared. Before asking how he knew, Edwin, who saw me and Ian, ran over, shaking hands.
“What’s going on between you two?”
“What, what?”
“Have you two been together all this time? Suspicious.”
Examining Edwin’s narrowed eyes, I quickly clapped my hands.
“What’s suspicious? We just happened to meet. What about you coming here for?”
“Oh, right. I came to talk to you…”
Edwin’s gaze, which had diverted from me, landed on Ian. Even at a glance, Ian’s face was filled with something to say.
“Do you have something to tell me?”
“There was some family matter, so I couldn’t come out for a while. Is everything okay now?”
“Yes, it’s fine.”
“By the way, it was really satisfying earlier. When you smacked the Second Prince.”
I had completely forgotten about the sudden report that had flown in earlier. Ian and Enoch’s duel, no, the moment Ian thoroughly defeated Enoch.
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.
