“You’re more proactive than I thought. I didn’t expect you to bring up the subject first.”
Filling his glass with clear sake, Tae Joon slowly opened his mouth. His voice was low but pleasant to the ears.
Nevertheless, Heo Kyung Joon felt as though that voice was painfully burrowing into his ears.
Probably because he was tense.
For Heo Kyung Joon, who had experienced all sorts of trials and tribulations to get to this point, it was far from a pleasant situation. Especially to be losing a psychological battle right from the start to such a young man.
“Yes, I like to be sure about things. Don’t feel pressured and speak your mind. If it’s a favor I can grant, I’ll gladly do so.”
He didn’t beat around the bush. He thought that being straightforward was the only way to survive against a man with the aura of a predator.
And he also wanted to quickly find out what this man wanted to relieve this tension.
“A favor… You seem to think I came to make a request.”
“… Isn’t that the case?”
Heo Kyung Joon’s voice echoed back at the unexpected statement. As if he had made a big mistake.
But fortunately, Tae Joon eased his tension with a slight smile.
“Well, it’s not entirely wrong. You could say it’s a request. I… I just came to hear your story, Mr. Director.”
“My, story?”
He wondered what this was about.
He came not to make a request, but to hear a story? Should he laugh or not? However, it’s true that the tension eased a bit knowing it wasn’t a request.
“Would you like a drink?”
“Ah, yes.”
He eagerly stretched out his hand holding an empty glass to receive the drink from Tae Joon.
Clear sake was being poured into the glass at a slow pace.
“About 20 years ago, a woman working in a luxury house in Hannamdong was found hanged. The investigation concluded it was suicide of a woman who couldn’t withstand her husband’s domestic violence. Her name was Jung Ok Soon.”
For a moment, Heo Kyung Joon doubted his ears.
His words were correct. He had not come to make a request.
“I want to know the truth about that incident. If it was really… suicide.”
He had come to hear a greater truth.
He would have preferred a request. If it was out of his capacity, he could politely refuse, and if it was within his ability, he could comply.
But this was,
“Were there really no signs of murder?”
Something he shouldn’t have answered.
With the threeletter name Jung Ok Soon echoing in his mind, the memories of the past were passing by like a slide show, freezing his body.
The sake, which Tae Joon had filled as a courtesy, was overflowing from the small glass due to too much generosity.
However, Heo Kyung Joon could not avoid the sake flowing over his hand and could only helplessly watch it. As if looking at an unbearable truth.

Meanwhile, at that moment, in Seo Rin’s studio apartment, another truth was slowly revealing itself.
She had returned home before Tae Joon and went up to the study he was using as an office to enjoy some alone time after a shower. She wanted to get a book worth reading.
However, she encountered an unexpected truth there.
A single photo sticking out from a book on the desk.
Unknowingly, Seo Rin reached out for that photo.
And when the photo fully revealed itself, she had to clamp her mouth shut to suppress a bursting scream.
In the meantime, unknown to anyone,
“This can’t be. How could this happen……”
And so, the game of truth had begun.

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.
