With Seol Won’s tender touch fixing his tie, Chae Ha tried to soothe the sadness of it being Friday.
Yet, she didn’t forget to secretly remind him that the weekend would start that night, continuing until Seol Won’s delicate earlobes turned red.
Thanks to the long summer days, the garden was still as bright as midday when he got home from work.
Woo Ju seemed endlessly happy about the increased playtime, despite the heat.
For Woo Ju, the three of them set out to explore the garden after dinner. Since Seol Won’s return, the once wild, country field-like garden was now neatly maintained.
The apricot tree sapling they had brought in before was growing well.
“Let’s see. Has the apricot tree grown taller than Woo Ju now?”
“Huh? It’s taller than me?”
“Yes. Our little one needs to catch up.”
Chae Ha stood Woo Ju next to the apricot tree, smiling affectionately.
Anyone could see the striking resemblance between father and son, as Seol Won looked on with a smile.
Woo Ju, comparing his height to the apricot tree, suddenly pointed somewhere.
“Super Dad! Mom! Look, over there!”
“What?”
Both Seol Won and Chae Ha turned their gaze to where Woo Ju’s little hand pointed. There stood the giant pot Chae Ha had given to Woo Ju, imposing even when empty.
As Woo Ju ran towards the giant pot, Chae Ha’s lips stretched into a wide smile.
“Our little one. Remember asking to plant a sibling there?”
“Yeah! I want to plant a sibling!”
“Hmm. That wish might come true soon.”
Woo Ju’s eyes shone with pure innocence at Chae Ha’s playful words.
“Hmm. Perhaps that wish might soon come true.”
Wooju’s innocent eyes sparkled at Kwon Chae Ha’s sly words.
“Really? Is Wooju getting a little sibling?”
“Whoa, Kwon Chae Ha!”
Min Seol Won, caught off guard, tried to interrupt their mischievous conversation.
As if he had been waiting for this, Chae Ha quickly grabbed her hand and pushed her towards Wooju.
Then, he declared confidently.
“Yes. Mom and Emperor Dad are working hard for our little one.”
“Wow! Wooju is so, so excited!”
“Wooju….”
Seeing Wooju’s brightly joyful expression, Seol Won couldn’t bring herself to deny it.
Luckily, since she had already explained that the sibling wouldn’t be planted in a pot, Wooju didn’t insist on planting one right away.
Instead, Wooju pointed to the giant pot and chattered about the real reason with tiny lips.
“The apricot tree has a friend flower next to it, but the giant pot is so lonely being empty! Can’t we plant flowers for Mom, Emperor Dad, and Wooju together here?”
“That’s a really great idea.”
Chae Ha, evidently proud, stroked Wooju’s round head.
Seol Won, too, was touched by the child’s pure and warm heart.
She continuously nodded and carefully handed a shovel to Chae Ha.
“Quick, start digging.”
“Alright. Let’s use some muscle.”
As Chae Ha began to fill the pot with soil, Seol Won took Wooju to the warehouse where the seeds were stored.
However, a small problem soon arose.
In the mid-August summer, there were no suitable flowers for immediate planting.
“What to do. Wooju, we don’t have any pretty flowers to plant right now.”
Peering around the small warehouse, Wooju extended his hand, already holding a packet of seeds.
“It’s okay if it’s not a pretty flower~ Wooju wants to plant this!”
“Ahh…”
Surprisingly, Wooju had chosen cactus seeds.
Although appropriate for planting at the time, it was curious why Wooju would choose a prickly cactus over colorful flowers, prompting Seol Won to ask.
“Why did you pick this, Wooju?”
“Eung~ Here.”
Tiny fingertips pointed at the script on the square seed packet.
It contained simple characteristics of the cactus along with planting methods.
Wooju explained with a face as bright as the sun.
“They say it lives for a hundred years~ Wooju wants to live long and long with Mom and Emperor Dad!”
“A cactus that lives a hundred years! With proper care, you can enjoy its lush and vibrant appearance all year round.”
Wooju, with a face as bright as the sun, explained why he chose it.
“It can live for a hundred years~ Wooju wants to live long and long with Mom and Emperor Dad!”
“…….”
At Seol Won’s loss for words, a strong and large hand suddenly rested on her shoulder.
Kwon Chae Ha, who had appeared without notice, was looking at Wooju with a face brimming with fondness.
“Our little one is so discerning. Of course, that wish will come true.”
“Really?”
“Yes. You’re really clever, already using symbolic meanings.”
“….Eung? Symbol… What’s that?”
“It means our little one is the best. Now, shall we plant the cactus in the giant pot? We’ll attach the names of Mom, Emperor Dad, and Wooju to each one, making it a family pot.”
A family pot… Seol Won’s heart seemed to be softly brushed with flower petals.
An overjoyed Wooju, holding the cactus seeds tightly in his arms, quickly came out of the warehouse and grabbed Chae Ha’s hand.
Then he looked up at the two with the most adorable face in the world.
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.
