Haeyeon, who left work early, changed clothes and came out to the garden. Singing a tune, she lovingly tended to the carefully grown plants, mumbling with concern.
“There’s no contact from the young lady.”
As soon as she finished work, Haeyeon called, but there was no answer, so she eventually left a message.
[Young lady. Are you meeting your friends? Call me when you see this.]To meet Dohui, who returned today, Haeyeon diligently finished her work early. Since Dohui mentioned that she would be late due to a business meeting, they planned to have a simple drink together in the evening after handling dinner individually.
Normally, Dohui is quick to respond, so Haeyeon was a bit worried about the lack of response.
Hmm-.
“Oh? Young lady?”
Not long after sending the message, the vibration in her pocket resonated. Haeyeon, who was about to check her phone with joy, hesitated at the subsequent sound.
Ding dong!
“Who is it?”

The vibration sound in her pocket stopped, and at the same time, the doorbell rang. Haeyeon headed towards the front door.
“… Saewonni.”
With a puzzled expression, she opened the door, and indeed, the person who rang the doorbell without prior contact was Dohui.
“Young lady!”
Dohui, looking as if she had cried until her eyes were swollen, appeared as if her soul had left her body. Haeyeon, feeling her chest sinking, grabbed Dohui’s hand.
“Why is this happening, young lady? What happened?”
“Saewonni…”
“What’s going on?”
Dohui, who usually maintained a bright expression, looked so serious and, moreover, appeared to have cried a lot, evident from her reddened nose and wiped-off makeup.
Haeyeon was perplexed about what could have happened. Dohui, who returned today after several months, got into trouble within a few hours. Haeyeon found it bewildering.

“Oh, no. Since it’s cold, come inside quickly.”
She hadn’t realized how cold it was while working. Even though she opened the door wide, Dohui, who seemed not to have the intention to come in, was comforted by Haeyeon and ushered inside.
“Young lady!”
As soon as Dohui took off her shoes and set foot in the house, her body collapsed like a doll with cut strings.
Startled, Haeyeon hurriedly embraced her.
Seeing Dohui, who was almost like a younger sister, in such a state, Haeyeon’s mind went blank.
When Dohui, instead of answering, asked a question, Haeyeon’s mind not only went blank but evaporated like mist.
“…Did Suren unnie really harass Saewonni?”
The words coming out of Dohui’s mouth felt surreal.
However, unlike her trembling voice, Dohui’s eyes, looking directly at Haeyeon, made it clear that this situation was real.

Though unsure of what had happened, Haeyeon initially tried to deny it.
“I don’t know what you’re talking about right now…”
“Since you’ve already come knowing quite a bit, please don’t lie.”
Please. With a firm demand from Dohui, who was a bit taller and more mature, Haeyeon couldn’t open her mouth any further.
“Unnie, did you really, really lose your memory? And…”
Dohui knew everything, including the fact that Haeyeon had lost her memory.
After “and,” Dohui, who seemed to want to say something, bit her lip and swallowed her words.
Somehow, Haeyeon felt as if Dohui knew what was left unspoken, and her heart fluttered.
Right now, all Dohui could do was weakly shake her head.
Whether Haeyeon noticed that she had no intention of opening up, Dohui, this time, cleverly spoke.
“Tell me what Suren unnie did to Saewonni.”

“Young lady…”
Unlike the first question, Dohui already seemed to think that Isuren had done something.
Only now did Haeyeon admit that it was already too late to hide, even if she tried.
She didn’t want to let Dohui know as much as possible.
Sure, Isuren was a person of no value to Haeyeon and Doha, but not to Dohui.
Disgustingly, Isuren treated Dohui like a real younger sister. This close connection had lasted for over 10 years.
Had Dohui noticed Haeyeon’s face becoming blurry as her thoughts continued? Without waiting for an answer, Dohui spoke first.
“Unnie, I’m not a child who needs to be protected by unnie or oppa anymore.”
Dohui held Haeyeon’s hand, placed their palms together, as if measuring their sizes.
“Look, unnie. I’ve already grown enough.”

“Ah…”
Unintentionally, Dohui’s hand had become the same size as Haeyeon’s.
The time when Haeyeon had to protect Dohui or the time when Haeyeon was the younger one, not much could be said about it.
Although Dohui, who was taller than her peers, had physically grown, she hadn’t received enough love from her parents, so her inner self was still immature.
‘When did she grow up so much? Our young lady…’
Thinking that she had to protect the child for an indefinite period, Dohui, who had once considered Dohui an eternal child, realized that she had grown up without her knowing.
“So please tell me.”
I can handle it. Looking at the whispering Dohui, Haeyeon closed her eyes.
Without saying anything and just closing her eyes, Haeyeon did not urge Dohui but waited.
Not long after, Haeyeon finally opened her trembling eyelids.

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.
