“It just happened to be that way. Please, Director, have a seat.”
The table quickly became full with the addition of the passing news team’s director and staff.
As I was eating and conversing with Senior Young Jun, I heard the voices of the juniors next to us.
“Where did Seo Rin go today?”
“Um, she went to the hospital this morning.”
“When will you announce it? Shouldn’t you do it before your belly shows?”
An unwanted conversation reached my ears, and I paused without realizing it.
‘Seo Rin was pregnant.’
“It seems so, right? I’m thinking about moving up the date.”
“Do you plan to quit after getting married?”
“Um, I don’t know about that yet. I’m still considering it, as the early stages of pregnancy are risky.”
Seo Rin ended her sentence vaguely and glanced my way.
Despite focusing on my meal while avoiding her gaze, I could still feel her blatant stare.
It was at that moment when I was picking up a side dish, bowing my head at Seo Rin’s confident demeanor.
“I plan to discuss that part gradually with my husband.”
“Ha.”
Without realizing it, I burst out laughing, causing the attention of those around us to focus on me.
Your soontobe husband is not such a considerate man. Seo Rin frowned, knowing the meaning of my laughter.
“Ah, I’m sorry. I just laughed without realizing it. Enjoy your meal.”
As I waved my hand and smiled towards those looking at me, they all turned their gaze away.
Seo Rin couldn’t relax her frowned brow, as if my reaction had upset her.
“It seems like he respects Seo Rin a lot. It’s good to have a considerate husband.”
“Exactly. I really like kind people.”
Hearing the envious comments from the colleagues around her, Seo Rin’s expression softened a bit.
Just as I was about to get up from my seat, having finished most of my meal.
“Oh? Seo Rin is here.”
“Um, I went to the hospital.”
Having briefly left her seat, announcer Kim returned and approached Seo Rin with a delighted expression upon seeing her.
Smiling brightly at Seo Rin, announcer Kim took a seat opposite her.
“You seemed to have disappeared. Right, Seo Rin, have you forgotten anything?”
Then, as if she had just remembered something she had been forgetting, she called out to Seo Rin.
“Huh? Me? What did I forget?”
“Think carefully. It’s really important to you.”
Announcer Kim asked again with a peculiar smile, as if she was certain it belonged to Seo Rin.
Seo Rin tilted her head with an awkward expression as if she genuinely didn’t know.
“You left your ring at the bathroom sink yesterday.”
“… A ring? What are you talking about?”
“Huh. You didn’t even realize you lost it?!”
At her fairly loud voice, people dining around me also turned their heads.
Upon seeing announcer Kim pulling something out of her jacket pocket, Seo Rin’s face hardened in an instant.
“Look at this. It’s yours, right?”
Announcer Kim took out the ring she had found in the bathroom yesterday and showed it to Seo Rin.
The ring shone brilliantly in her palm.
And upon seeing the ring, Seo Rin’s face twisted as if she had finally grasped the situation.
“Huh? What’s this.”
Just as Seo Rin attempted to hide it belatedly, announcer Kim grabbed her hand.
Announcer Kim’s eyes widened as she stared at the shining ring on Seo Rin’s left ring finger.
“You didn’t lose your ring, did you?”
“…Um, well.”
Seo Rin’s hand, which was held, began to tremble.
Announcer Kim, who had naturally thought the ring was Seo Rin’s, had a flustered expression on her face.
She would have firmly believed that there was only one pair of that ring in the world. Of course, she would.
Then, Kim Ana alternately looked at the ring on Seo Rin’s finger and the ring in her hand and asked.
“So, what is this? It’s an exact match with yours.”
“…..”
“Even the inscription on yours is exactly the same.”
Upon hearing that there was even an inscription, people’s expressions varied.
Thanks to the loud voice of announcer Kim Ana, everyone heard, and the surrounding tables began to stir.
“That’s….”
It was the moment when Seo Rin finally broke the silence after a considerable pause.
Before Seo Rin could speak, I was the one who got up from my seat first.
As I got up, dragging the chair behind me, all eyes turned to me.
“It’s mine.”
I approached from behind the chair where Seo Rin was sitting.
What a pity. She probably didn’t know that the ring she boasted so much about would become a stumbling block.
With the thought that she had been deceived, Seo Rin bowed her head and her shoulders trembled slightly.
“Huh? It’s yours, senior?”
Kim Ana, still not understanding the meaning of my words, questioned back.
I reached out to her, who was blinking and looking at me.
“That’s my wedding ring.”
The sound of cutlery someone was holding falling and hitting the floor echoed throughout the restaurant.
“To be precise, it’s the wedding ring from my former fiancée.”
I took the ring from Kim Ana, who was unable to close her wideopen mouth, and put it on my ring finger.
Seeing the ring fitting perfectly as if it was meant to be, gasps were heard from all around.
Silence flowed in the restaurant, which was bustling and fully packed for lunchtime.
As if everyone was looking at us.
“Seo Rin.”
I lowered my head towards Seo Rin, who was bowing hers.
She met my gaze and spoke in a low voice that only I could hear.
“Stop it.”
“What?”
“I said stop it… Yoon Yeo Jin.”
I smiled at Seo Rin, who was glaring at me as if she wouldn’t let this strange situation continue.
“Why should I?”
“…..”
“I’m finding this most interesting.”
“Yoon Yeo Jin!”
I disregarded Seo Rin’s voice calling me.
And I swiftly grabbed the wrist of Seo Rin, who was glaring fiercely at me.
“It’s strange. The ring you’re wearing doesn’t look like a fake.”
“What are you doing! Let go of this!”
“There’s no way to exactly replicate such detailed diamond craftsmanship.”
Seo Rin twisted her wrist to free her hand that was being held.
After looking down at Seo Rin with a cold gaze, I let go of her hand.
“I wonder who was bold enough to create an exact replica of a wedding ring that is supposed to be oneofakind in this world?”
“…..”
“I’m curious who your future husband is.”
Seo Rin clenched her fists until her hands turned pale.
And as if admitting all the facts, her face turned ashen.
“Say it with your own mouth. Who is your husband?”
All that could be heard around us was the sound of people swallowing their saliva.
And everyone seemed to be waiting for her answer. The looks of the people gathered around Seo Rin were so intense as they were directed at her.

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.
