Everything had changed.
The wet nurse had not returned, and she always ate bread and meat, fresh vegetables and fruit. Her closet was filled with colorful dresses.
More than anything, what had changed was this.
“Uh, you?”
The one who answered was I, with young Esella by my side.
I had never seen such a lovable being in the world. She was a girl with beautiful silver hair neatly combed. The lady touched her applered cheeks and spoke affectionately.
“Yes. This is your sister Olivia. This is Esella.”
Threeyearold Esella looked so beautiful, like an angel that would vanish if you touched her.
“You’re like an angel.”
“Esella. Olivia says you’re an angel.”
Esella smiled brightly. Olivia, who had been staring in awe at her, murmured blankly.
“Esella, Miss.”
“Huh?”
The lady slightly frowned.
“Just call her Esella. After all, you are sisters now.”
“But, the wet nurse told me to call her Miss.”
“The wet nurse was wrong.”
Can I dare call the name of such a pretty child?
But the lady was nodding sincerely. Olivia called her name very softly.
“Es, ella.”
Esella smiled brightly, recognizing her name.
I felt strange. Just a few days ago, I thought I should never have come here, but now I was so happy.
The lady even showed me a portrait. It was a portrait of two angellike boys.
“The older one is 11yearold Conrad. The younger one is 8yearold Jade. Just call them big brothers like Esella. Conrad is at the academy, and Jade will be back soon.”
As soon as the lady finished speaking, a loud boy’s voice was heard in the mansion.
“Mom!”
“Jade?”
The lady, still holding Esella, abruptly stood up and left the room. Olivia hesitated for a moment before following.
A boy who had run up the stairs clung to the hem of the lady’s dress.
“Jade. Our baby. Did you have fun?”
“I hate you, Mom. You sent me to Grandma’s house all of a sudden.”
“I’m sorry, baby. But you wanted to see Mom, right?”
“……Yes.”
The silverhaired boy grinned bashfully. Olivia’s heart throbbed. The lady and the boy looked just like her mother and herself a few months ago.
“But who’s she?”
The boy looked at Olivia. Ah, um. The lady hesitated for a moment, then smiled broadly.
“Jade. This is Olivia. …Your sister.”
“Sister? Besides Esella? But she’s bigger than Esella?”
“Yes. She’s 6 years old.”
Jade smiled openly at Olivia without any doubt. Olivia thought it was only natural.
But not Conrad.
[This is the time separator]“She’s not my sister.”
11yearold, a boy much bigger for his age, with cold eyes, said defiantly. With those chilling words, Olivia felt pushed back to square one.
“Conrad.”
“She’s not my sister, she’s dirty,”
“Conrad!”
At the strong voice, Olivia flinched. But Conrad, looking undaunted, glared at Olivia with unchildlike eyes.
“……Olivia. Can you step outside for a moment?”
“……Yes.”
When she closed the lady’s door behind her, Jade innocently asked.
“What did you do wrong?”
“No, why?”
“Then why did my brother call you dirty?”
Olivia could not answer.
[This is the time separator]It was one day. The lady said she would go out for a while.
From Conrad to Esella, the children lined up, and the lady kissed their cheeks. Olivia, last in line, brimmed with expectant hope. Maybe.
But the lady only patted Olivia’s head. Watching this, Jade innocently asked.
“Why don’t you kiss Olivia?”
“Right.”
Esella chimed in. Jade tilted his head.
“Olivia calls you ‘Lady,’ too. And says you’re my sister?”
The lady, whose smile had dimmed, patted Olivia’s head once more.
“……Because I am not her mother.”
“Huh?”
“No, I’m going now.”
“Yes! Have a good trip!”
Conrad glared at me, but Olivia was still happy.
.
.
.
“Tada! I wrote a fairy tale for you two. It took me a whole week.”
It was the first day the lady had left the mansion. Jade, who picked up the sketchbook, was disconcerted. She had been secretly drawing something for a few days. Underneath the crooked handwriting, beautiful princesses were drawn.
“Here is Esella. She’s the Amethyst Princess. And here is Olivia.”
Jade pointed at Olivia’s eyes with a bright smile.
“Olivia is the Emerald Princess.”
At those words, Olivia’s heart welled up with tears. Jade was shocked, but she could not stop crying. Esella cried too, without knowing why.
“Sister, don’t cry. Sob.”
“Hey. Don’t all cry. Wail.”
When Jade embraced Olivia and Esella with tears, Olivia realized that she was no longer alone, warmed by Jade’s embrace.
She thought that having the world’s most beautiful Esella, Jade, and the lady was enough.
But happiness was fleeting.
“It’s, it’s all because of you!”
It was when they were playing with pictures and Esella. Suddenly Conrad rushed in and pushed Olivia violently. Olivia, pushed in an instant, fell over.
Esella burst into tears, but Conrad did not comfort Esella.
He couldn’t. Conrad was crying too.
Conrad, acting like a boy, wailed and yelled.
“If you hadn’t come! If you hadn’t been here! Our mom would have!”
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.
