So meticulously chewing on the straw, the tips of my nails were worn down.
I’ve already lost track of how many days I’ve been flipping the blanket while lying down; I’ve even forgotten to count the days.
Stretching my arms outside the blanket like a ghost, I nervously grabbed my phone.
As Baek Sara checked the screen, her eyes gradually widened.
“……!”
In a hurry to get up, the blanket covering me like armor fell to the floor.
Without paying attention to such things, Baek Sara only stared intently at the screen.
There was news that the vice president of Chaun Group had regained consciousness.
According to the report, Kwon Chaeha woke up a few days ago and fully recovered, attending work this morning in perfect health.
“Chaeha…?”
As if in distress, Baek Sara bit her nails even more meticulously.
She didn’t know how long she had been waiting for this news.
But simultaneously, a strange uneasiness welled up at the news of his awakening.
The unconsciousness of Kwon Chaeha. In the plan she had concocted, it did not exist.
From what I’ve seen so far, Kwon Chaeha was just like any other man around here, even treating family like any other man.
I couldn’t imagine him risking his life to enter a fire scene for a child.
It might have been him who became the sacrifice to the flames.
The thought of it sent shivers down my spine.
If only Min Seolwon had been there……!
Abruptly, a bright red tooth mark appeared beneath Baek Sara’s nails.
“What the hell happened to this guy!”
She turned off the news screen and glared at the unresponsive call screen.
Secretary Kang, who should have left for a foreign country right after the incident, had been out of contact for a long time.
With the house empty and no news reaching his family abroad, something seemed to be going wrong.
In her life, rarely did such ominous signs appear, and her blood was almost freezing.
Feeling that it wouldn’t work out, Baek Sara abruptly stood up.
It didn’t suit her temperament to sit still and wait for lightning to strike.
Instead of waiting, it was better to search for a way out.
So, she decided to make a move.
“Hey, our little sister. You’re dazzling today as well.”
To hide her pale complexion, she put more effort into her makeup than usual.
Wearing luxury clothes from this season and adorned with sparkling jewels, Baek Sara’s appearance justified Baek Jaeyoung’s words.
With her usual confident and noble attitude, Baek Sara crossed her legs and sat on the leather sofa that Baek Jaeyoung cherishes.
Observing her, Baek Jaeyoung stared at her as if he was observing her.
Not wanting to be scrutinized, Baek Sara brought up the main topic.
“Don’t beat around the bush. Find Secretary Kang for me.”
With a nonchalant response to her almost pleading request, Baek Jaeyoung nodded his head.
Whenever I saw him, it felt more like a gangster than a chaebol heir, with unpleasant gestures.
Soon, he responded with a smirk.
“Why did you come to me to find your secretary?”
“Well……”
“I expected it, but this arson incident, it was your doing, Sara.”
Although stung by his accusation, Baek Sara managed to smooth her expression.
Once again, she straightened her nose and spoke.
Since she didn’t think she could hide this fact from her somewhat useless older brother.
“Help me.”
“Why should I?”
“You heard it back then. Chaewoon is now our common enemy.”
Having made a mess of the meal, causing embarrassment, Baek Jaeyoung must have felt quite humiliated.
She intended to utilize that anger.
“A common enemy?”
“Yes. If you want to know about what happened between my older brother and Secretary Jung’s daughter……”
“Well, Sara.”
Suddenly cutting her off, Baek Jaeyoung chuckled.
“Thanks to your little arson, this time, you’re a bit late. Are you planning to threaten me with that? Father already knows everything about that.”
“……Knows everything?”
Baek Sara’s face, which had been managing her expression, froze for a moment.
As if finding it amusing, Baek Jaeyoung scrutinized her complexion with a chuckle.
“After we left, your beloved Chaeha has already collapsed. Thanks to that, I’ve already been invited and returned.”
“…Father called you? He called, and you didn’t say anything?”
“What? Did you expect him to ask for the position of the head of the entertainment division or order you to be confined like when you were young?”
Honestly, she expected some measures like that.
Whether her inner thoughts were completely exposed, Baek Jaeyoung stood up from his chair and approached her.
Smirking incongruously, he casually threw words at her.
“Sara. I’m not your dad, and besides, when did that happen. Father is tired too. He implicitly asked about it, so let’s not meddle unnecessarily. Alright?”
She had managed to appear calm, but her shoulders shook again in the past few days, not with fear this time but with anger.
Rubbing her lips, seemingly ready for this, Baek Jaeyoung continued his lecture.
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.
