“Are you doubting me right now?”
“Yes.”
At the quick response, Kyunghee seemed to catch her breath as if amazed.
Then, a calm voice chimed in as if to smooth things over.
“No matter how I think about it, it seems strange.”
Kyunghee stared at Chaeyoon, her eyes fixed, as if urging her to continue talking.
It was an expression that seemed to say, “Go ahead, keep babbling.”
Despite the stern look, Chaeyoon didn’t back down and continued speaking.
“After I told my brother that we should get a divorce, such a photo came out, and right after meeting with you, I encountered a man who had expressed interest in me before.”
“But what does that have to do with this photo?”
“That man appeared again. Coincidentally, when I was separated from my brother.”
At the mention of another appearance by the man, the muscles on Kyunghee’s face twitched ever so slightly.
Although Kwon Hoyeon had mentioned that he would introduce another man to Chaeyoon, Kyunghee thought it would be a one-time event.
But he appeared again.
Having heard nothing from Hoyeon about this, Kyunghee inwardly cursed him.
‘Shouldn’t he have told me if he had some scheme in mind?’
Chewing on the thoughts that made Hoyeon awkward, Kyunghee sighed deeply.
“So, this man and this photo have nothing to do with each other. The man here is just a colleague from your workplace.”
Ignoring Kyunghee, who didn’t acknowledge her words, Chaeyoon fiddled with her phone.
Looking at Chaeyoon with a gaze that questioned her actions, Kyunghee spoke.
“But why with this man…”
The words she was about to say, connecting things, suddenly stopped.
『Yes. Ms. Song Chaeyoon, it was Ms. Woo Kyunghee who ordered and paid for the traffic accident.』
A strange man’s voice flowed from Chaeyoon’s phone.
The name coming out of the man’s mouth was undoubtedly hers.
‘What’s going on right now…’
Kyunghee’s mind quickly spun to grasp the situation.
Chaeyoon stared sharply at Kyunghee, who was speechless after hearing the man’s words.
“I told my brother at the restaurant that I wanted a divorce. Right after that, this photo came out. Then, this man appeared right after you left.”
“So…”
“If Jae-oh hadn’t come to that place, I might have been photographed with that man as if there was something going on.”
Chaeyoon pointed at the photo with Hyunmin, adding, “Like this one.”
What Chaeyoon said was precisely the plan Hoyeon had intended.
However, not fully understanding the situation yet, Kyunghee did not provide any answers.
“Did you attach someone to me before I even mentioned the divorce?”
“…”
“Even before I brought up the divorce, did you assign someone to me?”
Kyunghee remained silent, maintaining her consistent silence.
Thinking there was no denying it due to her lack of response, Chaeyoon bit her lower lip and asked another question.
“Why did you do that?”
“…”
“Don’t you like me that much?”
Despite repeated questions, Kyunghee’s lips remained sealed.
Here is the English translation of the Korean paragraph:
“And then, the settling stillness.
As the quiet hours lengthened, the increasing tension piled up densely, inducing fatigue.
While Chaeyoon, with a dry mouth, swallowed dry saliva, in that moment, Keunghui’s gaze, having grasped the situation, turned toward Chaeyoon.
In the once gentle-shining pupils, there was now a mixture of betrayal and anger towards me.
Keunghui glanced at Chaeyoon’s flipped phone and spoke.
“Chaeyoon, what are you saying right now?”
A voice that seemed to express an inability to understand this situation.
A faint tremor passed through the large pupils.
“I not only don’t know who the man you’re talking about is, but I also don’t understand what you’re saying right now.”
Truly, it was an expression that seemed to genuinely know nothing.
As Chaeyoon felt the fear she had experienced when she realized Keunghui’s duplicity, creepy sensations and unpleasant feelings spread through her spine, causing Chaeyoon to tightly clench her hands.
Keunghui, without missing Chaeyoon’s expression of astonishment, continued speaking.
“But seeing you so convinced and pushing me like this…”
With a blurred ending, Keunghui looked down and glanced at Chaeyoon’s phone.
“Could it be that you were close to that man?”
At the absurd question, a sigh escaped from Chaeyoon’s mouth.
“No matter how I think about it, it’s strange. I don’t even know who the man you’re talking about is, and that man said things that suited your taste.”
“…”
“And the only reason for that would be that there is something between you and him, right?”
Effortlessly shifting the flow of the conversation, Keunghui seemed relaxed.
Chaeyoon, after strengthening the grip on her clenched fists, finally spoke.
“Why would I go to such lengths?”
“Because you don’t want to divorce Jaeyo anymore.”
“…”
“I wanted to divorce until before, but now I don’t want to, so I’m doing this.”
“…”
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.
