Luzian teased, “You insist on doing that hair since yesterday, bothering people, and now you want to let it down? Make some sense.”
“Luzian, what does it have to do with you! I didn’t ask for your opinion!”
“When did I get permission to intervene?”
Ariante said.
“If you’re going to fight, go to your room and fight. Besides, Sisi, you look really cute right now. What’s wrong when you look fine? With your hair done cutely, putting on pearls suits you, and it looks beautiful.”
“I prefer something more flashy.”
When Sisi pouted, Ariante rolled her azure eyes. Was this how Vainty felt when I criticized him for being old-fashioned earlier?
But Ariante had less patience than Vainty.
“Then, take off the pearls, and pick some flowers over there, or do whatever you want.”
“Who does such a thing! Are you in your right mind?”
Ariante shrugged. Sylas, seeing Sisi sulking and whispering something to Ariante while hugging her waist, noticed Sisi’s expression, which looked crumpled.
That’s when it happened.
“What happened to you guys? Even as you grow older, you’re noisy whenever you gather. It’s so lively. Her Majesty will be surprised and faint.”
Ariante’s face brightened. Without waiting for the servant to open the door, she grabbed the doorknob with her own hands.
“Mom!”
Maiana looked at Ariante affectionately.
“Lady Duchesse, it’s been a while.”
“Hello, Lady Duchesse.”
Children, including Sylas, greeted her. Even Sisi, who never seemed easygoing in front of anyone, politely greeted Maiana.
Maiana said, “Umbrose asked me to pass a message when I see you. He’s being teased by his younger siblings, and he said he won’t let them get away with it unless his friends help.
Luzian chuckled. The image of a puffed-up Umbrose with a defiant expression came to mind.
Sylas said, “They’re his siblings, so there’s nothing we can do. We have to take responsibility…”
“But weren’t your siblings involved too, Sylas?”
Sylas, who had lost his words for a moment, said, “They’re like brothers to Umbrose, so it’s okay. He’ll think of his younger siblings as his own.”
When he was young, he was so refined. How did he end up like this? Maiana couldn’t help but sigh inwardly.
Sylas, who was aware that Sylas was playing around, was skilled enough to crush Luzian’s momentum just as he raised Swan’s spirits.
“I guess I don’t like this earring after all,” Sisi said with a blunt voice. Sisi, wearing a white dress adorned with pearls, mainly used pearls for accessories, and the largest one was the earring.
“Why? It looks beautiful to me.”
Even with Crony’s words, Sisi’s expression remained unenthusiastic. Then she glanced at Ariante.
“I should have just let my hair down like Ariante. It looks too childish, doesn’t it?”
Luzian teased, “You insist on doing that hair since yesterday, bothering people, and now you want to let it down? Make some sense.”
“Luzian, what does it have to do with you! I didn’t ask for your opinion!”
“When did I get permission to intervene?”
Ariante said.
Ariante, who had slightly reddened cheeks, touched his fingers.
“Okay, after it’s over, dance with me.”
“Of course.”
Sylas’s playful attitude from a moment ago disappeared completely as he respectfully greeted Maiana. Maiana also bid him farewell with a similar attitude and closed the door cautiously.
Ariante ran back to the mirror and looked at herself again. Whether it was because she heard Sylas say she was pretty or not, she no longer thought she looked old-fashioned. The light pink ribbon, slightly twisted down, looked charming.
“You threw a tantrum saying it was old-fashioned, but look how quickly your expression changes when Sylas says you’re pretty.”
Ariante turned to Maiana with her mouth slightly open at her words.
“Did Vainty talk during this time? That’s unbelievable!”
“Did you think it was only Vainty? Bridget said the same. She said she would die of boredom because it’s so old-fashioned all morning. Do you know I chose the dress design?”
“I thought it was recommended by Father.”
“It was my recommendation. I can guarantee that your father’s choice would have been even more old-fashioned.”
Ariante laughed gleefully. With the cheek still tingling and the golden hair shimmering, adorned with sparkling jewelry, she was a lively girl. If one could create vitality in the form of a human, it would probably look exactly like Ariante now.
Smiling at Ariante, who was humming happily, Maiana, with a smile, said, “Lady.”
Suddenly, Ariante’s singing voice stopped. Then, as if she had seen a ghost, she opened her eyes wide, then burst into an awkward laugh, staring at Maiana as if she had seen something strange.
“Mom, why are you doing that? Why suddenly call me that way? It’s scary.”
“Just because. I feel like doing that now. Lady, come and sit here.”
Maiana pointed to a chair. Ariante sat down as she was told, still looking confused.
“Mom. Why are you like this? Why suddenly?”
“Just because. I feel like it now. Lady, sit here.”
Ariante raised an eyebrow in confusion.
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.
