“This is it.”
Seo Rin’s eyes sparkled in front of an ancientlooking laptop as if it had been excavated from the Joseon Dynasty.
[Kang Yoon Company: New Designer Recruitment Notice]First, she had to return to the company. She would find a way to get her real body and her mother back while watching from within.
From that day on, Seo Rin’s days started and ended with design. She absorbed the trends, recreated them, and infused them with the colors of Kang Yoon and Yoon Seo Ha.
It sounded easy to describe in words, but Seo Rin had to draw countless pictures to create a total of ten designs, even if it meant getting blisters on her hands.
And on the evening, just one day before the resume submission deadline, Seo Rin encountered a huge obstacle.
“What is this?”
Highest education: high school graduation.
Her resume revealed that Cho Seo Ha’s highest education was high school graduation.
“Cho Seo Ha, what have you been doing that you didn’t even go to college!”
At this rate, her resume would be destined for the shredder even before the interview. Seo Rin despaired in front of the pile of designs she had drawn so far.
Her life as Yoon Seo Ha had not been all happiness and smooth sailing.
She had to work several times harder than others to avoid being called a “silver spoon,” and there were countless days when she suffered from insomnia and filled hundreds of pages of design books like a madwoman.
But this was the first time she encountered such a primitive obstacle. She couldn’t even submit her resume due to her lack of ‘education.’
“Grr! Grr!”
As she was deep in thought, she heard Minji barking outside. It was already 6:30 pm. It was time for dinner.
“I’m coming now!”
Seo Rin covered her unfinished design and went downstairs. In the empty house, only her dinner, prepared by Jae Wook, was laid out, covered with a sheet of newspaper.
Jae Wook was an amazing person. He managed his fruit truck business from morning to night but always made sure to be home at this time to serve Seo Rin dinner. If he couldn’t make it, he would set the table for her before leaving. Just like this.
“Thank you.”
Seo Rin greeted alone and emptied her rice bowl by herself. After finishing, she cleaned the table and did the dishes. These were tasks Yoon Seo Ha had never even thought of doing but were necessary for Cho Seo Ha.
“Grr!”
As soon as she finished washing the dishes and wiped her hands, Minji came up to her with a leash in her mouth and sat at her feet. It was a cute way of asking for a walk.
“Want to go for a walk? It’s a bit late though.”
“Grr! Grr!”
“Alright. Let’s go.”
Seo Rin put on her wornout sneakers and left the house. They walked through winding alleys, stopped at a spring for a sip of water, and came back down the opposite road, completing their usual round.
Just when Seo Rin was about to reach home after one round, someone spoke to her from behind.
“Excuse me.”
Seo Rin, who had casually turned around, stiffened and held Minji’s leash tighter.
“You’re so pretty. Can I have your number?”
It was a strange man wearing a tracksuit and a cap. If it had been a brightly lit main road, it would have been fine, but in a dark alley like this, it was not only unpleasant but also terrifying for a strange man to approach her.
Seo Rin tried to politely decline and started to walk again.
“No, I just asked for your number. You’re just so beautiful.”
The man quickly followed her and blocked her path. Cold sweat ran down Seo Rin’s spine.
That was when it happened.
“Cho Seo Ha!”
A welcome voice echoed through the alley. It was Jae Wook.
“Where have you been? And who is this guy?”
When Seo Rin was alone, the confident man shrank and hesitated in front of Minji as soon as Jae Wook appeared.
“Oh, I just… I thought she was pretty. I didn’t know she had a boyfriend.”
“If you know now, leave.”
“Alright.”
Jae Wook stood there, glaring at the man for a while until he disappeared, then cursed under his breath.
“Were you very frightened? How long had that jerk been following you?”
“From just up ahead.”
“Don’t mind him, he’s a local delinquent with nothing better to do. Are you hurt anywhere?”
“No.”
“Damn it. That rotten bastard.”
Jae Wook, grumbling, crossed the gate and suddenly looked Seo Rin up and down.
“Did you go out like that?”
“…?”
Looking at her thoughtlessly chosen outfit, it was quite a sight. A Tshirt with kimchi soup stains from dinner, stretchedout leggings, and sneakers that seemed about to burst at the toes.
“What are you thinking, going out like that at this hour? You’re just inviting creeps like him. No, I’m not saying you did anything wrong. That guy is just a notorious delinquent.”
“What does my outfit have to do with guys like him?”
Jae Wook frowned.
“Those jerks are so calculating. If they see a woman who looks better off than them, they lose their nerve and can’t even speak. Even if you’re actually better off, if you go around looking like this at this time and in this neighborhood, they’ll think you’re at their level and try to make a move.”
“…”
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.
