Can the rugged smile of this man be so beautiful?
His smile, shaded by the black leather gloves covering his eyes, drew a perfect line.
He was utterly dominated by joy. Always surprised by her unpredictable actions, he felt a tingling sensation from his fingertips, awakening unfamiliar feelings.
“Haah, Diana.”
As he slightly shifted his hand away from his face, his eyes seemed mysterious. Diana stepped back, looking into his deep blue eyes.
This man. He looks fierce, but was he always ignored? He heard everything yet smiles so happily.
Diana looked at Roderick with concern, harboring logical doubts.
His father’s words seemed not new, suggesting a curse that kills is naturally accepted among the brothers as a family legacy.
Is he just a disposable character destined to disappear? But what to do? I need to live with him.
“Diana.”
Her pink eyes met his as the feel of his leather gloves touched her cheek. The corners of his mouth still seemed reluctant to fall.
“Is this your answer to my proposal?”
Suddenly, he thought so. Could someone who was so guarded change like this?
His usually displeased expression crumbled, making him suspicious. After all, this man had no attachment to life.
“Roderick, do you want to live?”
“…I guess.”
Right, of course.
“But I wish you would live.”
As he tenderly stroked her cheek with his thumb, her long eyelashes fluttered. He was sincere. He was not lying.
The dark-red curse slowly absorbed from his hand into her.
“…”
His madness is vicious and cruel. He said he couldn’t withstand the urge to kill, enduring pain as if his body was screaming.
Was he peaceful while she absorbed the curse? Was that why he seemed so gentle? Anyway, it wasn’t bad for her.
No, it was very good.
“Really? I wish you would live too.”
“So, you went to see the Duke?”
Well, I meant to talk about the engagement with Duke Schwarz.
Now that the betrothal letter has been mentioned, it seems like marriage is likely. Of course, I can refuse it later.
I boasted about living happily ever after. It was impulsive, but I couldn’t help it.
Talking about his death made me so angry.
“Right. I need you and your family’s power.”
“More likely my body. You like touching me.”
Diana looked up slightly, lifting the corners of her mouth.
“So, you dislike it?”
“Of course not.”
Frankly, she had never thought about marriage. She was optimistic about finding her match someday.
But now, here he is.
A man in the same predicament, uncertain of when he might die, yet so perfectly compatible with her.
His appearance, his body, his fighting skills, his voice. Considerate? His caring for his younger brother shows it. No scandals, since he’s been indifferent to women.
Hmm, husband material approved.
“Why are you looking at me like that?”
Leaning her cheek in his large hand, Diana grasped Roderick’s chin.
“May I covet you?”
Surprised by her sudden question, his mouth deepened.
“As much as you want.”
Do as you please. Their lips met, muffling his words.
Wow. Chills. Felice, having left the office, ran his hand down his goosebump-ridden arm.
As much as he admired and loved his brother, he didn’t want to see this side of him.
Felice quietly left the area, not wanting to disturb them.
Please have a nephew soon, sister-in-law. Pass on the title of Head of the House. Fight on!
Once again, Felice clenched his fists in support of Diana.
“Ah!”
“Ahm!”
Noel, following Diana’s lead, bit into a macaron and looked like the happiest person in the world.
Sitting on Diana’s lap, Noel swung his legs joyfully.
“Is it tasty?”
“Yes!”
Diana, looking down at the child with a smile, exuded elegance.
“Lady, shall I bring more tea?”
Diana raised her hand to the tense maid, signaling her to leave.
The maids and servants bowed deeply and exited.
Roderick, who had been sitting on the other side of the room, unwound his crossed legs.
Actually, they were trembling at the sight of Roderick in the room, but Diana, equally dignified, could not be ignored.
The lower-ranked staff didn’t even know her family or name.
The Duke of Schwarz, having investigated the Beatus family, found it suspicious that Beatus had concealed Diana’s absence and controlled information for her safety.
An unknown lady of noble birth. She could have been considered just a guest, but the Duke’s direct recognition had a significant impact.
The staff, realizing her high status, treated her with utmost respect.
“Do you like the room?”
“Yes, thank you, Roderick.”
As his fiancée, Diana had moved to the room next to Roderick’s for safety.
This was to guard against any possible spies or assassins, under the suspicion that the Beatus family might have been behind their kidnapping.
‘Please protect us. It seems like our family might have kidnapped and confined us.’
Roderick pondered this possibility. If nobody knew of her absence, perhaps it was safe for her to remain here.
He even thought crazily that keeping her in the castle under the guise of protection might be a good idea.
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.
