When Song Kang’s figure appeared, the butler was surprised and didn’t know what to do. Only then did Geum-moran release the butler’s clothes.
“Director…”
Anticipating that Song Kang would not want to hear the house in a noisy uproar, the butler and maids shrank back and bowed deeply.
“Please come in.”
At Song Kang’s words, they retreated with frightened steps. Geum-moran brushed herself off and stood up. Breathing in a breath of cold air, she glared at Song Kang.
“All because of you.”
Song Kang looked at Geum-moran with a very cold gaze.
“Entering this house at such a young age and dedicating your youth for my aging father.”
“Who told you to become a parasite next to our father?”
“What? Parasite?”
Geum-moran took a step toward Song Kang. Soon, she realized that she was barefoot and halted abruptly.
“What did you love so much about our father? Did you want to stay by his side until the end, even if our father was not the head of Taesung but just a poor village man…?”
In response to Song Kang’s assumption, Geum-moran burst into bitter laughter, took a deep breath, and brushed her hair aside.
“That’s why I really don’t like you. Your actions with your mother, the atmosphere, and that gaze… that pitiful gaze you cast on me! It’s too similar…! Every time I see you, I think of that woman.”
It was a story that went far beyond crossing the line. To talk about Song Kang’s mother…
“I also wish I had lived without any shortcomings like you! Lived like a high-ranking student!”
Geum-moran, who tried to approach Song Kang, couldn’t bring herself to do so. Judging from Song Kang’s expression, if she had touched even a single hair, it seemed like something terrible would happen today.
Above all, facing an unreachable force, Geum-moran once again felt the alienation between Song Kang and herself. Whether it was the day she first came to this house or being driven away now…
Unable to do anything about her pitiful self in front of Song Kang, Geum-moran breathed shakily and shed tears.
Song Kang turned away because he didn’t want to see Geum-moran like that anymore. After entering the house, he sought Chairman Na.
The butler informed Song Kang that Chairman Na was in the detached building. Song Kang’s chest tingled at those words. The detached building was the space where Song Kang lived from the time his mother passed away until he lived independently.
“Father…”
Song Kang called out to Chairman Na, who was looking at something.
“I’m sorry for entering the ownerless room.”
Chairman Na couldn’t meet Song Kang’s eyes.
“What, did you see something?”
What Chairman Na had been looking at was a diary Song Kang had written when he was young.
‘Mom, I miss you.’
‘I hope Mom would come.’
Those words had kept Chairman Na captive in that room. Song Kang slowly approached Chairman Na and gently took the diary from his hand.
“Father, even a child has privacy… It’s too much. The detached building is not heated, so it’s cold. Let’s go inside.”
Song Kang held Chairman Na’s hand. Chairman Na, dropping his head as if vomiting the deep sorrow inside, shed tears.
“I’m sorry… I’m sorry…”
Father’s crying made Song Kang’s heart heavy.
“Father, please don’t say that. You have always been the best adult to me.”
“Rather, resent me. This guy…!”
Chairman Na, feeling sorry for his late wife, sobbed loudly while looking at the sky. Song Kang let him cry until Chairman Na’s heart felt refreshed.
“Ha…”
After crying for a while, Chairman Na let out a deep sigh and finally looked at Song Kang.
“Father, take a break from work for a while and come to the hospital with me tomorrow.”
“Work… Taesung…”
Chairman Na pondered alone, nodding his head. Half out of his mind, he muttered to himself.
“I should go tomorrow. I should go and see…”
“Father, let’s eat first. Regain your strength and think about it.”
Song Kang tried to support Chairman Na, but Chairman Na just stared with hazy and vacant eyes.
“I miss her. That person… I miss her…”
“Yes, let’s go together. Let’s go together, Father.”
“No, I should go alone… If you come too, it would be disgraceful in front of your mother, right…?”
For some reason, Chairman Na’s words sent a chill through one part of Song Kang’s heart.
“It’s enough. You go and rest now. I’m fine, really.”
Even with Chairman Na repeatedly saying he was fine, Song Kang couldn’t feel relieved. He was worried about Chairman Na’s condition to the point that his steps didn’t falter.
Song Kang instructed the butler to immediately contact him if anything happened and left a strong request.
Also, if Chairman Na prepared to visit his mother’s grave, Song Kang asked for a call then as well. Only then did he head home.
Despite repeating these requests, Song Kang was troubled by Chairman Na’s last expression. The expression that seemed to have let go of everything…
Thinking of having a drink to ease his restless mind, Song Kang decided to stay up all night, sober, fearing that something might happen and he wouldn’t be able to rush over immediately.
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.
