I Pretended To Be Dead And Ran Away (22 Chapters Left to Complete) - Chapter 134
“Tan, my son…! I’m so glad you’re safe!”
The Empress cried as she embraced her son.
Tanasis already knew that even this display was merely his mother’s act.
She was undoubtedly frightened by the fact that his power had spiraled out of control and slaughtered the people of the imperial palace—and at the same time, secretly elated.
Tanasis found it utterly repulsive the way his mother clung to him, sobbing.
In truth, his assumption was perfectly accurate—painfully so.
The Empress knew full well that no matter how many people her son killed—his younger full-blooded sister Jaylen, his own father, or his half-brothers—he would never kill her, his mother.
After all, Tanasis had always been that pitiful child desperately yearning for affection.
And indeed, seeing once again that even now he couldn’t bring himself to kill her, she silently rejoiced inwardly.
While Tanasis had lost his sanity, a fire broke out in the imperial palace. By the time the flames subsided, nothing remained but ashes.
The Emperor was dead. That loathsome, filthy dog was finally gone.
The Imperial Consorts had also perished. Not even the chamber maids who had been in the Emperor’s bedroom survived—the entire place had been reduced to ash.
The Empress found it immensely satisfying.
Everything that had tormented her until now had been turned to dust by her son’s hands, scattered like ash in the wind.
Now, Tanasis was the only legitimate candidate left to ascend the throne. It was also an open secret that he had absorbed the Stone of Fire—a truth everyone knew but feigned ignorance of.

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.
