“Ah… No! Don’t come closer. If I’m with Shasha… Eyna will get hurt again. Everyone will get hurt, everyone…”
Shasha was still afraid. Despite wanting to hold Eyna’s hand in front of her, she hesitated due to fear.
“It’s okay. Please… pat my head and say I came well.”
Eyna extended her head toward Shasha. Asking to be patted. Like a child, she smiled and pleaded with tears streaming down her face.
“But… I didn’t come well… I hurt someone again.”
“Did you make the young lady hurt?”
“Yes. If I’m with her… anyone gets hurt. Eyna too…”
Shasha’s hand twitched. She repeatedly extended and withdrew her hand as if wanting to pat Eyna’s head. Eyna playfully placed her head in Shasha’s hand.
“I… liked it when the young lady patted me like this.”
“But it’s dangerous with me…”
“Young lady.”
“…Yes.”
Even though she said that, Shasha’s hand was patting Eyna’s head.
“Young lady, no one is in danger when you’re around.”
“But you saw it. Eyna too… she got hurt because of me. The puppy too… and… ”
“Who else got hurt?”
“… Rodelo… and the emperor…”
Eyna extended her head further toward Shasha.
“But do you know that?”
“What…?”
“I haven’t been hurt.”
“What are you talking about…?”
Surprised, Shasha suddenly stood up. The blanket slid off the child’s body.
“What is this…?”
“It’s exactly as I said. The current appearance may not be appealing… you might not believe it, but… at least at that time, I wasn’t in pain.”
“No. Surely… I saw blood in front of me… many times…”
The incident was still traumatic for the child, who trembled while holding her hands, head down. Since she took poison, she would have vomited blood. To give the child a stronger impression, she must have taken it several times.
Eyna needed money, and the Marquis and his wife wanted something certain. Their interests matched perfectly, so Shasha believed more in what she saw. If I vomited that much blood, even I would have believed it.
“That’s… because I took medicine.”
“Medicine?”
“Yes. I… although it might hurt the young lady… still, I’m trying to tell the truth now.”
“Truth?”
Shasha’s voice became more emotional than before.
“It’s okay if you’re disappointed in me, young lady. It’s okay if you hate me… everything is okay.”
“Why are you saying that, Eyna…?”
“I lied.”
“What?”
The child’s lips trembled. She looked so pitiful that I wanted to run to her and hug her right away.
“I lied… about being in pain.”
“What nonsense… Why would I hate Eyna?”
“Miss… I needed money.”
“Money?”
“Yes. So, I took someone’s request, and in front of you, I pretended to be in pain.”
“Why?”
The child’s round head swayed left and right. As if completely forgetting even the fact that I was here, Shasha grabbed Eyna’s arm. There were only pitiful gestures trying to urge her, as if wanting to hurry her up.
“I’m sorry… I’m trying to tell the truth now.”
“The truth?”
Shasha’s voice became even more emotional than before.
“It’s okay if the young lady becomes disappointed in me. It’s okay if you hate me… everything is okay.”
“Why, Eyna…?”
“I thought that way, Miss…”
“Why did you want to make me more alone?”
“Yes… Countess told me to do that. She wanted the puppy to die like that… so that you would have nowhere to rely on, blaming yourself alone. I’m sorry. I shouldn’t have done that.”
Eyna is not a bad person. If she were really a bad person, she would have just taken the money. She might have even threatened Shasha to speak about this. But she genuinely felt sorry for her own sins.
Even though I came to her now, originally, Eyna was confessing her sins to the grown-up Shasha herself.
“I’ve been watching every step of Shasha’s growth.”
Even while living an uncertain life, day by day. She continued to be concerned. Worried that Shasha might go astray because of her, worried that the child might have negative thoughts because of her actions.
Although she did such things for money, Eyna loved Shasha more than anyone else.
“Ah… the puppy too…?”
“Yes. No one got hurt or died because of you. It’s an unreasonable statement, an unreasonable act.”
“But…”
“Instead, when you’re around, the world sparkles. You are such a person. You haven’t done anything wrong. The Countess created all these situations.”
Will Shasha be able to understand? All the truths have been revealed. Now it’s a matter of how Shasha will face the truth.
Eyna quietly watched the child until Shasha spoke.
Various emotions seemed to stir in Shasha’s body little by little.
I want to hug her. It’s not your fault. You haven’t done anything wrong. I wanted to pat the child’s head. But now wasn’t the time for me to step in.
“Please, Shasha… think that it’s not your fault. You can just live like you are now.”
With those feelings, I watched the two people.
And at the end, Shasha opened her mouth.
“Why…”
“Yes?”
“Why do Mom and Dad hate me so much… why like that…”
“That’s…”
“I… I listened well… How much more did they want me to listen.”
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.
