My Sweet Enemy (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 7
It had been a week since I woke up, and a week since I lost my memories.
And a week since I’d been trapped in this villa in Gapyeong.
The small wounds on my body and my legs had healed long ago.
Tae In was itching all over and couldn’t stand it any longer. On top of that, Nok Hyeon, Lee Kyung, and Eun Seok had been coming less often because they were apparently busy with work.
“So this is what it means to be completely abandoned.”
Tae In muttered while lying on the sofa watching a drama.
It was a drama about a second-generation chaebol heiress overcoming hardships and adversity. Lee Kyung had recommended it, saying it was similar to Tae In’s situation. The title was Return of the Queen.
Just as Lee Kyung said, the female lead’s circumstances were similar to Tae In’s, even the family relationships and overall story.
That’s why Tae In could immerse herself excessively, as if she had become Hae Su herself.
“Don’t kill our Hae Su!”
Despite Tae In’s desperate cry, Hae Su died in the end.
Even though it was already the second time watching the scene, her heart ached and tears welled up.
No matter how low the ratings were, killing off the female lead like that—Tae In wanted to call the broadcasting station and the staff to protest.
If only she had a phone.
Having finished the entire drama, Tae In started episode 7.
The female lead, having regained her memories, visited a chicken restaurant before taking revenge on her family.
It was probably product placement, the sudden appearance of chicken, but this was Tae In’s favorite scene.
Tae In, who had been staring blankly at the screen, sat up.
“This won’t do.”
Tae In searched thoroughly under the sofa and under the bed and found twenty thousand won in cash.
They had left a card for emergencies, but she couldn’t use it. Today’s goal was to sneak out.
“This is Gapyeong, and I’m already a dead person, so no one will tail me, and the chance of meeting someone I know is low!”
Tae In rationalized to herself and attempted a disguise.
She put on the hat Lee Kyung had left behind and the clothes Lee Kyung had brought for her to wear.
“Did she get these from a used-clothing collection box?”
The design and material weren’t great, but since it was for disguise, it didn’t matter.
She thought it would feel nothing but good once she stepped outside, but the weather was the real enemy.
With the monsoon over and the scorching heat beginning, Tae In was panting.
Did this skinny body have no muscles at all? Her legs hurt after walking only a short distance.
Tae In took a flyer out of her pocket and unfolded it.
Ye Seul Chicken. It was the chicken Lee Kyung had bought last time. Unlike the crispy batter, the inside was amazingly moist—it was so delicious it appeared in her dreams.
She didn’t remember anything else, but it was the best chicken Tae In had ever eaten.
However, finding the chicken place by the map on the back of the flyer was not easy. She had no choice but to ask a high school student who had just gotten off the village bus.
“Keep going straight and then turn right.”
“Thank you.”
Just endure a little longer and I can eat chicken.
Thinking of the crispy and moist chicken gave her strength.
After walking about one bus stop’s distance, the market entrance finally came into view.
The moment Tae In entered the market, her eyes widened. It looked similar to the market in episode 4 of Return of the Queen.
It was the place where the female lead, chased by villains, bought floral pants and a sun cap to disguise herself.
Conveniently, Tae In spotted a clothing store. A pair of cool-looking floral pants caught her eye.
“The pants are only five thousand won?”
Tae In asked the owner with round eyes.
“The set is even cheaper.”
Top, bottoms, and sun cap together were ten thousand won. She had to buy it.
When Tae In pulled out a crumpled ten-thousand-won bill to pay, the owner, as a service, put pink arm sleeves into a black plastic bag.
Moved by the generosity, Tae In was touched.
Tae In took off her hat, put it in the bag, and wore the sun cap and arm sleeves.
She somehow felt stronger and more confident.
With that confident mindset, Tae In found the chicken place that had been her original goal and was greatly disappointed.
The flyer said ten thousand won, but the price had gone up to eleven thousand won.
The grandmother with a scary impression who looked hard to talk to sent urging eyes as if telling her to quickly decide whether to buy or not.
“…Grandma, I came from really far away—could you maybe take off just one thousand won?”
“Where did you come from?”
At the tone that was as scary as her impression, Tae In froze, but she couldn’t go back like this.
“Se-Seoul.”
“Seoul?”
The owner’s brow furrowed.
She clearly thought Tae In was lying.
Tae In looked down at her own outfit.
She instantly understood the owner’s gaze.
“Owner, then could you give it to me for ten thousand won if you take out one wing?”
“No, I can’t.”
The owner firmly shook her head. Tae In had no choice but to turn around.
She hadn’t come out to buy arm sleeves and clothes—she had come to buy chicken. Feeling empty, her head drooped.
“It’s so hot and I can’t even eat chicken… I shouldn’t have bought the set.”
But the arm sleeves and sun cap were just too comfortable. They perfectly blocked the sunlight, making her feel cool.
Tae In rummaged in her pocket and took out a candy. It was one she had secretly stolen from Nok Hyeon’s room. She had always wondered how delicious it could be that he ate candy so often even though it didn’t suit him.
It was an ordinary cherry flavor.
It felt like something sweeter than this.
“Wait, is this the first time I’m trying this?”
A slight headache came, and Tae In put a hand to her forehead. A hazy, soft, warm, sweet, fluffy memory.
Tae In suddenly stopped walking.
‘I kissed my ideal type!’
It was a memory from a night she had been drunk.
Tae In covered her face with her hands. Before excitement, shame came first.
“Why did I do that?”
And why had Kang Nok Hyeon done that?
Suddenly, she realized that Nok Hyeon’s behavior hadn’t changed at all after the kiss, and in fact he hadn’t even shown his face.
How should she interpret this?
“The stupidest person in the world!”
At the sharp, young voice that didn’t fit the market, Tae In turned her head.
Boys who looked about seven or eight years old were pushing each other and fighting.
Tae In approached the children without hesitation.
“Isn’t it too cowardly for three people to bully one person?”
When a strangely dressed woman suddenly appeared, the kids blinked.
“Do you want to grow up to be cowardly adults?”
One of the kids opened his mouth as if feeling wronged.
“It’s not that—we’re the ones being bullied by him alone.”
Tae In tilted her head. One kid bullying three? And the smallest one at that?
“Hey, whatever. Let’s go.”
The three kids who had been huffing disappeared, and when the smallest kid who was said to have bullied them also tried to leave, Tae In quickly grabbed his shoulder.
“You’re amazing to bully three kids all by yourself.”
“The kids keep…!”
The child who had started to speak in anger shut his mouth. He turned his head as if he didn’t need to tell this suspicious woman.
Tae In crouched down to meet the eyes of the child whose eyes were brimming with tears.
“Keep doing what?”
She had a strange feeling that she had comforted a young child like this sometime before.
“They keep saying we should find the owner…”
The child pointed to a box of apples. When she looked inside, she saw a frightened, trembling puppy. It looked like a Sapsaree, but it seemed mixed with a few other breeds, hard to specify.
“So those three said they’d find the owner, and that’s why you did that?”
Tae In couldn’t understand.
Is this how kids talk these days?
Instead of questioning the little boy, Tae In crouched beside the puppy.
The puppy was wary but couldn’t move rashly.
“It’s okay. I’m not a bad person.”
Neither touching it nor getting closer, just crouching beside it, both the puppy and the boy looked at Tae In strangely.
“A family that came camping deliberately abandoned him. Even though he kept chasing after them, they knew but didn’t even look back.”
The moment she heard the boy’s words, Tae In strangely felt her heart drop to the floor.
She should say something, but her mouth wouldn’t open.
The boy, now with tears welling up in his eyes, muttered.
“What do you mean find the owner? Idiots. He was abandoned just like me. No family or anyone will come looking.”
Tae In looked at the boy. It was pitiful how desperately he was holding back tears.
“Looks like we’re similar.”
Tae In said as she stood up. When the boy tilted his head, she continued.
“I was abandoned too. What, do I look pitiful?”
“…No, you look weird.”
“Well, I don’t exactly look great.”
Tae In looked over herself and smiled before opening her mouth again.
“Anyway, you’re lucky today. I happen to have a bit of money.”
∗ ∗ ∗
Having finished his schedule, Nok Hyeon visited the VIP ward of Myungseong Hospital.
The interior, as luxurious as a hotel, felt almost excessive for an unconscious patient.
The waiting bodyguards recognized Nok Hyeon but instead of relaxing, they became even more alert.
Min Gyu, who had been leaning against the wall with his arms crossed, straightened up at the sight.
When Min Gyu greeted politely first, the bodyguards reluctantly followed suit.
“Are they afraid I came to kill him?”
Nok Hyeon said with a mocking tone.
They were people planted by his father’s mistress, Shim Yoo Ran. Their purpose was to keep an eye on Nok Hyeon.
“I’m the one who’s most disappointed that Father collapsed.”
Nok Hyeon turned his head to look at Min Gyu and the line of bodyguards behind him. The smile that had been on his face was already gone.
Min Gyu shrugged.
Whenever Nok Hyeon showed no expression, Min Gyu felt a chill down his spine. Those pitch-black eyes that saw through people and looked several moves ahead carried a pressure that others could never imitate.
“Wait here.”
“Yes.”
Feeling the words weren’t directed at him, Min Gyu turned his head. At some point, Lee Kyung was standing right behind him.
Seeing Lee Kyung wearing a wine-colored suit top and bottom with a pink shirt, Min Gyu shook his head.
That fashion sense, seriously.
Nok Hyeon lightly entered the hospital room.
His father, who had suffered a cerebral hemorrhage two months ago, still hadn’t regained consciousness.
“Father, I’m here.”
Seeing the once-mighty head of Myungseong Group in such a pathetic state, a smile naturally formed on his lips.
Nok Hyeon suddenly thought it was good he was still alive. Because he was alive, he could witness this precious sight.
Leaning back on the sofa, Nok Hyeon looked down at his father, Cheol Han.
Even looking at his parched, withered father, no emotion arose.
He was a selfish father who had lived only for himself his entire life.
Because of that, Nok Hyeon’s younger sibling Do Hyeon had died, and Mo Ra had been broken.
Not to mention his own life.
He had lived harboring the grand plan to step on Cheol Han and Yoo Ran and swallow Myungseong whole.
“You don’t look too bad, but still, please wake up soon.”
Cheol Han had to die at the exact right moment Nok Hyeon wanted.
He must not die this meaninglessly.
“After writing a will like that, who are you lying here for?”
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.
