He had gone to the blind date believing Yeong-in had genuine intentions to marry. He also thought she was unaware of Chang-geun’s true nature. Both assumptions turned out to be wrong.
“I didn’t do anything…”
Embarrassed, Beom-jun trailed off as Chang-geun bitterly mocked.
“Cha Seong-hyuk is nothing special, getting rejected by an adopted girl.”
Seong-hyuk laughed and faced Chang-geun squarely.
“Let’s exclude bastards from our gatherings.”
His clear, yet quiet voice rang in everyone’s ears.
Chang-geun’s face flushed with anger from the direct hit on his complex.
Seong-hyuk, not satisfied with just humiliating him, grabbed Chang-geun by the collar and dragged him out of the room.
“Ugh!”
Pushed against the wall with force, Chang-geun winced in pain.
“Stay away from Yeong-in. A filthy guy like you has no business.”
Chang-geun’s lips trembled fearfully.
“Do you… like Yeong-in?”
“I dislike you.”
Chang-geun briefly avoided Seong-hyuk’s intimidating gaze, regretting his drunken bravado.
“Stay out of any event I attend. I don’t want to see your face again.”
“Okay, okay…”
Chang-geun scampered away as soon as Seong-hyuk’s grip loosened.
Seong-hyuk watched him leave with a frown, then headed in the opposite direction.
He didn’t want to drink in such a foul mood, fearing a hangover the next day.
Hyesung Entertainment, a specialized actor management agency, was composed of just seven employees, including the CEO. Despite its small size, it was known as a jewel in the industry, with several famous actors under its wing.
Yeong-in’s official position was the Management Team Leader.
Thanks to her versatile involvement in everything from artist recruitment and management to public relations, she was rightly called Hyesung’s ace.
True to the company’s horizontal culture, Hyesung’s meetings were always intense. There was no hesitation in arguing, even in the presence of the CEO.
Today, Yeong-in’s opinion clashed with the PR Team Leader’s.
“It’s better not to release an article about the lead actor doing a reshoot without pay. It makes it harder for supporting actors to ask for their due fees.”
The lead actor of a drama, which featured one of Hyesung’s top stars, faced a reshoot due to the sudden departure of the female lead over a scandal involving an affair with a married man.
The PR Team Leader couldn’t understand why Yeong-in was opposed to releasing a feel-good story about a no-fee reshoot.
“Team Leader Chae, it’s our lead actor. Why worry about the supporting cast? It’s an opportunity to boost the image.”
“Supporting actors’ livelihoods are at stake.”
“That’s their problem. They’ll eventually become lead actors.”
“What are the odds of that? Maybe 0.1%?”
The PR Team Leader fell silent, unable to respond.
“Our artist already has a great image. Not releasing a feel-good article won’t tarnish it. Instead, let’s ensure proper compensation for the reshoot, then donate it and release an article about that. It might delay the timing, but isn’t that a more sustainable approach?”
CEO Kang, who had been silently observing, asked Yeong-in.
“What does Min-woo say?”
“He agreed to go with my suggestion.”
“Then let’s proceed as Team Leader Chae suggests. Meeting adjourned. Dismissed.”
And so, the meeting ended.
Yeong-in, who had been suffering from a headache since morning, declined CEO Kang’s offer to have dinner together and left work earlier than usual.
However, she unexpectedly ran into the very person who had been disturbing her peace of mind these past few days.
Right in her own home.
“Our junior has arrived.”
Seong-hyuk was sitting elegantly on the living room sofa, greeting her with a smile.
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.
