“Come, come in.”
His voice came out like a baby goat’s.
Opening the door and entering, Nathaniel looked no different from usual.
I felt annoyed for no reason compared to how seriously I prepared.
“What’s the matter? Why are you like that?”
“Don’t ask.”
Nathaniel sat on the bed, glaring down at my face.
“Why are you shaking like this?”
“Shshaking? Who says I’m shaking?”
Damn. My voice came out like a baby goat’s again.
As I calmed my voice alone, a sweet smell drew closer suddenly.
“You seem tense now?”
“No, I’m not.”
“Hmm.”
Nathaniel kissed my cheek.
Although it was a touch he usually did, the situation was such that I was extraordinarily surprised.
“It doesn’t seem like you’re not.”
“Don’t joke around.”
I couldn’t raise my head at all. Nathaniel pushed me back with a small laugh.
A soft touch reached the back of my neck.
He climbed on top of me, lying on the bed.
“We’re, we’re just pretending.”
“I know.”
This was our plan.
To loosen the bedroom boundaries on purpose and show evidence that we spent the night together to Lina, who might be a pawn of the Empress.
It was a very primal method, but there was no other way.
Nathaniel slowly removed his shirt on top of me.
Despite having seen his body many times, it looked different today.
His firm muscles and smooth, sleek skin shone white in the moonlight.
Thanks to the shadows that deepened with the curves, his upper body looked much more pronounced.
I slowly moved my gaze from his neck to his upper body and below.
“Jaina, what are you looking at?”
“No, I didn’t look.”
I don’t know what I’m saying now.
It seemed like it was like this on the first night too.
‘Back then, Nathaniel backed off first.’
But now he couldn’t back off.
I closed my eyes tightly. If I didn’t do this, it seemed like I would push him away.
I never dreamed I’d shake like this.
I repented of my past self, who cursed the slow progress in novels.
I’ll never do that again, dear author.
“Jaina.”
“Why, why like that. Hurry, hurry up.”
“Open your eyes.”
Nathaniel called my name with an unexpectedly gentle voice.
He was undoubtedly calling to tease me.
“Jaina, won’t you really open your eyes?”
After a few calls, I finally opened my eyes as he said.
His pupils filled my vision.
My heart dropped to the floor, struck by his red pupils, clearly showing desire for me.
“Don’t be too nervous.”
Nathaniel’s cool touch caressed my earlobe.
Startled, I jumped, and he kissed my forehead, nose bridge, and cheeks in turn, laughing lightly.
“Just like you said, we just have to pretend.”
His touch was so hot it was hard to believe it was the usual Nathaniel I knew.
His penetrating warmth made my head spin, and his delicate hand touched various places on my body.
I struggled, unsure whether the sensation was ticklish or something else.
I reached out and clung to his neck.
“Ugh, don’t cling all of a sudden.”
“I said it’s ticklish.”
“Don’t touch me recklessly…!”
I was so embarrassed I couldn’t bear it without grabbing something.
I clung to Nathaniel, who was trying to pull his body back frantically.
“That’s why, hurry up.”
Nathaniel’s eyebrows twitched at my words.
He twisted one corner of his mouth and said,
“Don’t regret saying that.”
I had a feeling something went wrong.
The next morning.
I got up from my seat with a dazed expression.
Thankfully, I was wearing a negligee that made little difference whether it was on or not.
“Ugh… ugh…”
My whole body creaked.
I was tormented so much last night that I almost gnashed my teeth.
“You must have enjoyed it.”
I didn’t know I was so weak to tickling.
I thought I would faint just from Nathaniel’s touch, and it was almost death to keep from making a sound in the midst of that.
I ended up laughing crazily, unable to endure, so Nathaniel had to cast a spell to block the sound.
Nathaniel, who tormented me until dawn, finally let me go after begging that I had done wrong.
Then he completely passed out.
“Ah, my fate.”
I wriggled out of bed and stood in front of the mirror.
Stains and marks were all over my body, and anyone could tell I had spent a fiery night.
The bed was perfect, since all I had to do was claim that neatfreak Nathaniel had tidied it away.
“Your Highness, may I come in?”
At the sound of the knock on the door, I quickly lay back down in bed.
“Come in.”
My throat was worn out from laughing so much last night.
The maids who slightly opened the door and came in scanned my body here and there.
Now, look.
The fruits of last night.
“Today, I am tired, so I will only be in the room. Can you bring breakfast here?”
“Yes, yes! Just a moment.”
The maids quickly disappeared outside.
Among them, I felt Lina’s gaze lingering on me a little longer.
Soon, other maids came up with a simple meal on a trolley. As the smell of savory butter and coffee filled the air, my appetite returned.
I barely got out of bed to eat breakfast and drank coffee. Then I wrote a letter to my father to execute the second plan.

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.
