“Why are you asking such a question?”
“I’m just curious. After rejecting all those women, suddenly you’re getting married.”
“……”
“Yes? Brother, did you think ‘This is the person’ when you first met?”
Due to Mana’s persistent questioning, Eric and Alicia exchanged a baffled look.
They had never received such a detailed question before, so they hadn’t discussed their ‘story’.
“Yes, sister? Despite the dreadful rumors about my brother, why did you decide? What happened?”
“Dreadful?”
Alicia, unlike the flabbergasted Eric, laughed awkwardly and then spoke.
“I was the one who suggested engagement first.”
“What?”
Deborah paused while holding her teacup and Mana glared at Eric.
“Worst.”
“Huh?”
“How did you make my sister propose first? This dreadfully ignorant brother of mine.”
Mana quickly turned her head towards Alicia when Eric glanced at her menacingly.
“Sister. Did you really propose to this kind of person first? Why on earth?”
Although she couldn’t believe why they were discussing this here, Eric couldn’t help but laugh at Alicia’s vibrant smile.
He had momentarily forgotten. It was a moment to faithfully fulfill the contract.
“See. You make misunderstandings by saying that.”
“But it’s true. I said it first.”
“Don’t you remember being rejected by me before that?”
“What? Really?”
“I got dumped within 15 minutes of meeting for the first time.”
“Why are you saying such things”
As Alicia became flustered, Eric propped his chin on the table and smirked.
“And then, I rashly went to meet at the Earl of Lancaster’s residence and got rejected again.”
When Alicia bashfully avoided his gaze, Eric leaned back in his chair, turned his head towards Mana and said,
“I thought this wouldn’t work and invited her to my mansion thinking it’s my last chance.”
“Even though you were rejected twice, why?”
“Well. I thought I would regret it if it just ended.”
Thump.
Even knowing it was a lie, Alicia’s heart skipped a beat for a moment.
“But that day, she suddenly proposed. They say all good things come in threes and in the end, it worked out well.”
“Sister, why did you change your mind all of a sudden?”
“That’s right. Why did you?”
Alicia turned to Eric, who was looking at her with a playful smile.
What did mother say back then?
Not to miss the opportunity to make a connection with a good person.
“Because he’s a good person. I thought I would regret it later if I let him pass by.”
Even though she thought it wasn’t sincere, Eric’s expression subtly changed.
After giving a serious answer, Alicia laughed slightly awkwardly due to the embarrassing mood.
“But for the future, I am saving the third proposal.”
“Ugh.”
“Eh? What does that mean?”
Mana looked back and forth between Eric and Alicia in confusion.
But both of them only avoided each other’s eyes while laughing, neither giving any answer.
“Wow, look at these people. You’ve been talking all this while and now you won’t? How cheap.”
“Be quiet. Why are you curious about such a thing?”
“Because I’m asking for various indirect experiences as an aspiring author.”
“You should experience it yourself. Don’t ask unnecessary things.”
“Tsk. That’s not easy.”
Mana mumbled under her breath and sulked, prompting Alicia to ask Eric.
“Doesn’t she look like a duckling? A baby duckling?”
“……Not at all.”
“Why not? It’s cute.”
“Not at all.”
Embarrassed to the point of turning red, Eric did his best to hide his expression and changed the topic.
“By the way, is that hut still there?”
“Yes. I still go up there often.”
“Hut?”
“When I was young, my father built it. But at that time, Mana was young and I was scared so I couldn’t go up, so my brother played there whenever he came.”
“Do you want to see it, sister? It’s not fun to stay here.”
Mana suddenly got up from her seat and dragged Alicia by the arm.
[Star Icon][Star Icon][Star Icon]“Over there.”
Mana pointed in a direction, and they looked up. It was a more adorable hut than they had expected.
Mana ran ahead, grasped the ladder with both hands, and raised one foot. Alicia, with a hint of worry in her voice, spoke to Eric.
“Shouldn’t Eric go first? Support us from the top.”
“Should I?”
“I can go alone.”
Mana bravely began to climb the ladder first, and Eric followed behind.
Alicia, who was looking up, turned to Deborah and asked,
“Deborah. Want to go first?”
“Oh, yes.”
“I’ll watch from behind. Don’t look down, only up as you climb.”
“Yes, I’ll do that. Thanks for caring.”
Despite her hesitation, Deborah held onto the ladder, placed one foot, and cautiously began to climb.
She was slow but faithfully climbing one step at a time, with Alicia following and assisting from behind.
When they reached the end, Eric caught Deborah’s hand and pulled her up.
“Good job.”
“Thank you, brother.”
“Alicia.”
Eric extended his hand, but Alicia climbed up swiftly by herself.
“I’m familiar with ladders.”
“Oh, right.”
Just as Eric was about to withdraw his hand in embarrassment, Alicia slightly grabbed it.
“It’s higher than I thought.”
“…Yes, it does seem a bit dangerous since it’s old.”
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.
