I spent some time boasting, and when I noticed Danmokbi watching me, I let out a big sigh.
‘What am I doing right now?’
I brushed my hair back and replied with a deflated tone.
“Just because I heard something unexpected today, I was just troubled.”
“What did you hear?”
That people were complaining about your favoritism toward me. And then…
“No, you know, the young master is two years older than me? I’m two years older. I don’t know why people say that.”
“……”
Danmokbi, who I thought would follow along with ‘Wow, that’s amazing,’ was silent.
I turned to Danmokbi in surprise. Although we are now at eye level, the boy who was shorter than me when we first met was blushing and staring at the floor.
I covered my mouth with my palm and exclaimed.
“Why? Is that really true? Is the young master older than me?!”
“I don’t know.”
With that, Danmokbi turned and walked away.
“Aah! Young Master! Young Master!!”
As I chased after Danmokbi, Baekho yawned.
[This is the time separator]On a dark night, Danmokse’s head of the family, Danmoksu, handed a book to his subordinate.
“Look at this.”
“What is this……”
Not knowing the reason, the subordinate who was summoned late at night nervously flipped through the book. Danmoksu explained in a stern voice what it was.
“It was hidden in Danmokbi’s residence. He learned from this and became that strong.”
His explanation left the subordinate astonished.
“No, there was swordsmanship in our Danmok family! Why did the ancestor hide it?”
“Maybe he wanted to pass it down only to a capable descendant.”
“Then are you saying that the second young master has that ability?”
“We’ll have to wait and see.”
Danmoksu’s gaze darkened. After tapping his armrest with his finger for a moment, he gave an order to his subordinate.
“Take Changyi back to Shinsan on the dark night.”
“Yes?”
Wasn’t it all about Danmokbi? The surprised subordinate looked up, and Danmoksu answered in a sullen tone.
“Just because one plan is adopted doesn’t mean the other should be discarded. They can proceed simultaneously.”
“You are wise.”
“Make sure the spell doesn’t go wrong this time. Check it thoroughly.”
“Yes, sir.”
The subordinate bowed, but it was clear where the head’s focus was. Normally, he would have personally taken care of Danmokchang and gone to Shinsan.
Danmoksu’s gaze drifted out the window, taking in two residences where the lights were still on.
It was Danmokbi and Danmokchang’s residences.
“Either one just has to succeed.”
Since his youth, when he first entered the martial world and was ignored for being from the Danmok family, a twisted obsession with power had sprung up in his heart.
It was an obsession that would never be extinguished, even if it set the entire martial world on fire, a hot and stubborn obsession.
And the woman who was sacrificed to that obsession was trapped in her residence, emitting a thin, long cry.
Each was lost in thought as the night deepened.
[This is the time separator]Danmokchang slowly closed his eyes. Lying in the dark room, he wasn’t even sure whether it was day or night.
‘I’m hungry.’
The food here was the same as before. Always cold. Nothing oily. Bland dishes with no flavor.
‘The food she gave me was always delicious.’
Danmokchang closed his eyes and pictured Yeon’s face. A bright girl with black hair tied high in a ponytail and a slightly tanned face.
‘Her name was Yeon.’
He understood what it meant to have a smile like a sunflower when he saw her.
Her hand reached out to him without any ulterior motives or emotions. Even his father looked at him as a clear tool.
More than anything, the girl sometimes looked at him and cried silently.
‘Why did she cry?’
She cried with pity for the world, a silent and pitiful cry.
Her crying didn’t make him feel bad at all. Rather, it felt like comfort.
‘The feeling that she really liked me.’
Even though he had never received true affection before, Danmokchang instinctively knew what affection was.
His heart kept going back to her. Thinking about Yeon over and over, Danmokchang’s thoughts soon turned to her clothes and hair decorations.
‘Come to think of it, she wore Shi clothes both times.’
I didn’t know what she was up to, but it was clear that the clothes didn’t suit her. They should have been as bright and cheerful as her voice, as clear and vibrant in color.
“I thought I saw some crimson silk in this room.”
The silk that came in as a gift to Danmokchang was piled up in the chest. Of course, it was the first time he saw the silk, since he had been staying in Sinsan.
“Wouldn’t she like it as a gift?”
He thought so, then shook his head again.
“No, it might be too burdensome.”
Danmokchang, who was no wiser to the ways of the world than Danmokbi, knew that if a gentleman he had not known for long suddenly gave him an excessive gift, it might appear as an excessive intention.
“Let’s give it to her after we meet once more.”
It was when Danmokchang closed the chest door that contained the silk. Without even locking it, the door slid open.
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.
