Miss Pendleton (Update to C.222 END) - Chapter 157
“If you become a sparrow, I’ll take good care of you. I’ll buy a pretty cage just for you.”
“Birds don’t live long.”
“That’s okay. Even for a brief moment, I’d be happy hearing your chirps. When you pass, I’ll make a tiny coffin, just the size of my palm, and give you a proper burial in the Dalton family plot. Then I’ll live as a widow, remembering you forever. Or maybe, missing the sparrow you were, I’ll remarry another sparrow.”
Ian let out a hollow laugh. Once he laughed, Laura knew her persuasion had failed.
Having cleverly escaped the crisis, Laura gently pushed Ian’s hand away and turned toward the path leading back to the mansion.
At that moment, Ian suddenly pulled her into a tight embrace, burying his face in the nape of her neck and nuzzling fervently.
“I want to kiss you. Let’s kiss, Laura.”
Laura sensed it instinctively. The stage of persuasion had passed, and now came the stage of stubbornness.
“Ian, I have to go home. I need to review the dinner menu and get it to the kitchen by five.”
“Just one kiss, and I’ll let you go.”
“No.”
“Then we’ll stay like this until night falls. I don’t mind.”
Ian hugged her even tighter.
Laura sighed. This wasn’t the understanding husband she knew. Right now, Ian was as stubborn as if he had Big Ben’s clock towers plugged into both ears.
Laura tugged at his ears playfully.

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.
