I Decline the Ex-Boyfriend of the Regretful Male Lead (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 82
Hertian fiddled with the lingering warmth of Anette on his hand.
Though it had been quite some time since she’d pushed his hand away and left, it felt as if her scent and warmth still remained right here. He sank into deep thought, replaying Anette’s words and wondering what he should do.
“I can’t back out of the duel.”
He hadn’t thrown down his glove in a fleeting burst of emotion.
For a long time, he’d trained to strengthen himself, hoping to break free from the imperial court’s influence—but he’d never had a direct opportunity.
But then, seeing Serdis grab hold of Anette right before his eyes felt like the perfect chance.
If only he could remove that thorn troubling her, he’d do anything.
“Her Grace the Duchess has gone to the Valosone Marquess’s residence.”
It was news Osen delivered immediately upon returning from a brief visit to his family home.
“And before heading to the marquess’s house, she went to the Crown Prince’s palace, but apparently didn’t meet with either the Crown Prince or the Viscount before leaving.”
“She didn’t meet anyone at all.”
She’d left the palace alone, without even seeing Hertian.
“According to reports from the knights, there was some commotion at the marquess’s estate before the mistress entered—and yet she went in anyway, fully aware of it.”
Hearing Osen’s report, Hertian clenched the hand from which her warmth had vanished.
“Osen. My little finger’s been aching all day.”

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.

Casting a ‘forbidden ritual’ to remove divine abilities sounds like practicing black magic. So Violet practices black magic? What is her true goal?
I have quite a few things to say about the function of this enchantment. Right now though the main thing is that if the enchantment functions in this way…what happens if Anette dies while he has the ring turned on?
‘Ti amo’, Spanish for ‘I love you’
Is this the Annette fan club? Lol.
