“You… How did you find out?”
When Okhee asked, Yeonseo began to shed sorrowful tears.
“I heard everything you and Dad said during the argument. I came down to get some water….”
Okhee tightly closed her eyes.
Her daughter knew the truth, that Okhee, who used to be Shin Hyesuk, now lived as Kim Okhee, and the woman who was Kim Okhee lived as Shin Hyesuk.
She had become acquainted with Seontae during high school. Rumors had spread that he was the son of a wealthy family, but when she found out, he turned out to be an attractive commoner.
As time passed, the incompetent Seontae, pushed aside by the eldest son, ended up being completely expelled from the company.
However, she didn’t give up. Since he was the son of a wealthy family, she believed that if she solidified his position, everything would be fine.
At that time, she heard about that woman from her close sister who worked at the nursing home.
A well-known illegitimate daughter of a famous local landowner who had spent a long time in a nursing home due to poor health.
The sister even said she wanted to introduce her because the woman lived well, had a good personality, and even had a younger brother.
However, at that time, only one thing caught her attention.
Seontae mentioned that Song Hyun Electronics was planning to build the second and third factories through a capital increase, and they were having a hard time with the negotiations because the land they were considering belonged to that woman’s father.
At that moment, she thought this was the last chance given to her by fate.
Okhee slowly opened her eyes and held her daughter’s hand, calmly saying,
“Min Yeonseo, listen carefully. No matter what anyone says, I am Kim Okhee, and you are Min Yeonseo.”
She had planned and orchestrated everything from start to finish.
Intentional approaches and encounters, pregnancy resulting from speeding, using marriage as an excuse to demand all the lands from that woman’s father, buying those lands for a cheap price, turning them into Song Hyun’s factory site, and pushing Seontae’s elder brother aside to become the vice president.
She had been the one to create the current Min Seontae.
So, Min Seontae could never abandon her, and she couldn’t abandon him either. She had come this far with the determination to self-destruct together if necessary.
“And your dad can never abandon us. Because your dad has too many weaknesses caught by Mom. No, I can’t hold on without Mom. Your dad is foolish, and Mom is smart.”
Knowing each other’s weaknesses, they had no choice but to treat each other well.
But there was one occasion when they had a major fight and revealed the secret they had been keeping.
Exactly 13 years ago, when the wicked Taehee became friends with Sajun instead of her daughter. That’s when Seontae started giving living expenses to Hyesuk.
She seemed fragile, as if she would fly away with the wind, but she was surprisingly strong-willed.
Despite the disdain and whispers of the neighbors, she stubbornly endured without leaving the neighborhood.
Okhee earnestly wished that she had disappeared far away where no one could see her.
So, I persuaded Seontae to give her some money and send her abroad, but for some reason, he turned a blind eye to the fact that she was still in this neighborhood.
And from then on, Seontae began to harbor expectations and hopes for that woman’s daughter, not my daughter, Yeonseo.
Without sending her to any academy, she always ranked first, became the class president, had good manners, and, on top of it all, resembled my dad, creating a glamorous Mintaehui.
Since most sons in the neighborhood and school lived quite well, they liked Mintaehui.
Moreover, Seontae went so far as to pull Kangsajun into their circle, so the expectations were overwhelming.
The anger that had been held back exploded, and we had a heated argument just once. Unfortunately, Yeonseo happened to be not sleeping at that time.
“Mom, I’m still scared. What if Mintaehui finds out and bullies me? You know how nasty she can be.”
Trembling, Yeonseo snuggled into Okhee’s arms.
“Taehee will never know. And no one will know until the end.”
It was too late to find the stolen name, and she was a woman without the courage to do so.
The sister who worked at the nursing home died ten years ago.
The family treated that woman with enmity a long time ago.
There was no one to support that woman.
Although she had a smart and mischievous daughter, there was an unspeakable truth for such a daughter.
Even if she tried to recover it, there was no gain, and it would only bring shock to her daughter. Besides, it was a foolish act that proved how foolish she was.
“And Yeonseo. Mom didn’t take that woman’s name away; that woman gave it willingly. But why do you want to find the name again?”
“Did she say that, Mom? Why?”
With an expression of disbelief, Yeonseo cautiously raised her face from Okhee’s arms.
Okhee smiled affectionately at her daughter.
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.
