Just as the food arrived, Yerin, who was hungry, quickly picked up her fork.
“But what kind of man is Director Cha Ihyeon?”
“Huh?”
How to describe him…
While Yerin pondered this, Nari began listing her impressions of Ihyeon from the brief moment she saw him at their company building.
“I saw him briefly that day at our office building, he really looked impressive.”
“That’s true.”
“Handsome face, great physique. What’s his personality like?”
Personality.
Yerin hesitated to answer, realizing the gap between her understanding of Ihyeon’s character and how others perceived him.
Noticing Yerin’s hesitation, Nari asked, “Don’t tell me he has a terrible personality?”
“No, it’s not that.”
Yerin put down her fork and continued, “He can be kind sometimes.”
“Really?”
“Yes.”
“That man has it all. Like I said, why don’t you seriously try to seduce him?”
That was impossible.
Yerin just shook her head.
“No, why?”
Nari looked puzzled.
“Handsome face, great body, kind and capable.”
Nari listed Ihyeon’s merits, counting on her fingers.
“Aren’t he the kind of guy you could marry right away? Unless there’s some flaw I don’t know about…”
Yerin placed her index finger on her lips to signal Nari to be quiet.
“It’s not that.”
Yerin looked thoughtful.
Yes, like Nari said, Ihyeon was indeed a man without any apparent flaws.
Ah, if that was a flaw, then it was a flaw.
He lived in a world so different from hers, and that was precisely why she couldn’t get closer to him.
“Nari, the party your company hosted. It was only for famous people in politics and business, right?”
“Yes, it was.”
Nari shrugged as if that didn’t matter.
“Director Cha must think that the woman he met that day matches his status.”
“Ah…”
Nari finally understood the real reason behind Yerin’s worries.
“So, that’s why he’s looking for her?”
“Yes. Director Cha’s family is pressuring him to get married after seeing so many matchmakers.”
As they talked, Nari’s expression became as grave as Yerin’s.
“The Director wanted to meet that woman again for a love marriage.”
“I didn’t know that.”
“Imagine how disappointed he would be if he found out that woman was me.”
Yerin had considered revealing her identity to Ihyeon.
She didn’t dislike that night either, and her feelings for Ihyeon weren’t bad.
But realizing that Ihyeon’s quest to find the missing woman was not just out of curiosity, she couldn’t do it.
He would probably prefer to find a woman he liked and matched his conditions through arranged meetings, rather than settling for her.
So, rather than letting him be disappointed after knowing the truth, it was better to make him give up the idea.
Nari, understanding Yerin’s situation, sighed deeply.
“This is really an unexpected dilemma.”
Nari rubbed her forehead as if she had a headache.
“So, what will you do?”
“I have to keep pretending to look for that woman while helping Director Cha to see his matchmakers.”
It was the duty of a secretary.
Who knows? Maybe Ihyeon would find someone more attractive than that woman in these meetings.
“Who’s the matchmaker candidate?”
“Oh, it’s…”
Yerin suddenly remembered Ihyeon’s list of matchmaker candidates.
Her eyelashes fluttered as she recalled the top candidate.
“Gwak Seoyun.”
“Seriously? Wow, that’s unbelievable.”
Nari frowned as if displeased.
“Why her out of so many women?”
Yerin just smiled faintly.
“Objectively, Seoyun’s family background is good.”
“So what? Her personality is terrible.”
“It’s hard to find someone in the elite who isn’t like that, right?”
Nari gulped down some cold water, perhaps feeling hot. Even fanning herself with her hand, her anger didn’t seem to subside as she brushed back her falling hair. Seeing this, Yerin began to console Nari.
“You don’t need to get so worked up. I’ll handle Director Cha’s matchmaking.”
“Are you really going to let him meet that woman?”
She wasn’t thrilled about it herself.
That woman, Seoyun, had caused her so much pain.
She didn’t want to, but if she had to, then so be it.
Yerin had no choice in the matter.
Pretending to be okay, Yerin smiled.
“Nari, let’s get up if we’re done eating.”
“Ugh, I’m still so angry.”
Opening the door of the private room, Nari, fluttering her blouse, said to Yerin, “Shall we have a drink before going home?”
“I…”
Before Yerin could finish her sentence, the door of the adjacent room opened quickly, and a very familiar man appeared. Yerin covered her mouth with both hands in shock.
‘Why is Director Cha coming out of there?’
The man who appeared was none other than Ihyeon. Nari also seemed surprised to see him.
Quickly hiding her dismay, Nari greeted Ihyeon.
“Hello, Director Cha Ihyeon.”
“I was planning to spend time with Secretary Han.”
“Ah, our Yerin…”
Yerin, standing behind Nari, poked her in the back with her finger.
Catching the signal, Nari pretended like she wasn’t close with Yerin.
“Secretary Han had an appointment with the Director?”
“Yes.”
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.
