During the meeting, the director was instructing from the front.
Everyone was paying attention to the director’s words.
“There are particularly many articles today, so prepare for the broadcast carefully.”
There were many important news articles that day, making the director’s speech longer than usual.
Looking down at the manuscript filled with densely packed news articles, it made sense.
“Let’s finish the meeting now.”
The director’s announcement marked the end of the news item meeting.
The director left the meeting room immediately, as if he had a pressing schedule.
‘Ah, there’s a mountain of work.’
Only after watching the director leave the meeting room did people stretch out their stifled yawns.
“Good job.”
“Thanks for your hard work.”
Watching people disperse, senior Young Joon also started to tidy up his space and stood up.
“Senior, the pen worked well.”
“You can use more pens if you need.”
“No, there are many pens in the office.”
Only then did he pick up the pen I had extended towards him and headed outside the meeting room.
“Okay. I need to go to the editorial department, so I’ll leave first.”
“Okay. See you later.”
It was strange.
He always had a fountain pen in one corner of his diary, but at some point, it was empty.
“Where did the pen go?”
It was a precious pen, and it was indispensable…
“Did someone throw it away after I left it at my desk in the office?”
Feeling anxious that I might have lost it, I stood up from my seat.
I felt like I had to go and check.
As soon as I entered the scheduling department, I was taken aback by the attention focused on me.
Their gazes were still full of suspicion.
‘Why is the office so empty?’
The office was noticeably empty, and the few juniors who were left sneaked glances at me.
I put down the bag I had been carrying along with the meeting minutes and looked around.
I took out the diary from my bag, wondering if I had dropped it, and thoroughly searched under the chair, but there was no pen.
The thought that I might have really lost it naturally made me anxious.
‘I mustn’t lose that…’
At that moment, the office door opened, and a group entered and came straight to my seat.
Then I saw a whole cake that a junior was carrying.
“Senior, it’s late, but congratulations on your return.”
“Congratulations on your anchor appointment as well.”
“Ah, thanks…”
The people who had approached me extended a cake with lit candles towards me.
At first glance, it was a cheerful surprise event, but the people in the office were watching the situation with displeased eyes.
“Blow out the candles, they’re going to melt.”
Ugh.
I barely held back the urge to vomit from the overpowering scent of ripe mango mousse that wafted from the cake that had come right before my eyes.
The faces of the juniors holding up the cake, which looked like the wax was about to drip, were not very happy.
Anyone could see that they were doing it because they were told to.
‘Who did this…’
Of all the things, a mango cake.
Mango was a fruit that I absolutely couldn’t eat because smelling it made my head dizzy and I felt like vomiting.
“The director insisted that we get this for you. Please accept it even if it’s embarrassing.”
Why would the director do such a thing?
The glances of the people in the scheduling department were not good these days, and it was obvious that they would be more disliked because of this.
Somehow, the glances of the people clinging to me seemed to bear more malice.
“We had it custommade because we heard that you like mango cake.”
“Me? Who said that?”
They said I liked mango.
Unknowingly, I frowned and my eyes met with Seo Rin’s as she walked out from among the juniors.
She approached me next to the junior holding the cake and gave me an extremely sarcastic smile.
“Unni, you’re a mango ghost, right? So we went far to get this.”
At Seo Rin’s words, those around nodded.
The smile that had been hanging on her lips gradually stopped, and she stared at me with a cold gaze that only I could see.
“You’re going to eat with us, right?”
…
…
…
I sneaked into the bathroom while people were distracted and threw up.
The more I thought about it, the more upset I was.
It was because I remembered Seo Rin, who was pushing the cake at me even though she knew I couldn’t eat mango.
‘How petty.’
I wiped the moisture from my mouth with a tissue.
Just then, the bathroom door, which had been closed, swung open and Seo Rin walked in.
“Unni, the cake tastes good, right? We got it from a famous place.”
Seo Rin came over to the sink to wipe her hands and gave me a sly smile in the mirror.
“Isn’t it too childish? You should know that I hate mango.”
“Childish? Do you know how much trouble I went through to get that cake?”
At my words about being childish, she turned around as if she was offended.
Seo Rin, who came towards me with clattering footsteps, curled up the corners of her mouth.
“Could you consider that I picked something for you to eat?”
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.
