The direction her footsteps pointed was toward the Prince’s Palace.

Caliph firmly held Evelia’s hand and pressed his forehead against the back of her hand. After she collapsed, time, which had been flowing so slowly, passed uncontrollably fast following the conversation with Felix.
Even during this time, his heart beat irregularly, consistently. As time passed, it painfully constricted.
Caliph vaguely sensed what it meant. It meant that the moment Felix predicted, expected to be a maximum of three days, was approaching without even filling a single day.
“…….””…….”
Caliph removed his forehead from Evelia’s hand and gazed fixedly at her sleeping form.
Until a few days ago, Felix’s words that she was improving were hardly believable, but today, it seemed her complexion had improved significantly.
Color returned to her pale face, and her expression seemed much more relaxed.
Caliph couldn’t take his eyes off Evelia for a long time. He was afraid that she might breathe her last at any moment, but now, he felt somewhat relieved that things had turned out this way.
The fact that she had been poisoned was still an unbearable truth, but thanks to that, they didn’t have to face the dreadful situation.
Caliph gently adjusted Evelia’s hand, which he had been holding all along. Then, while looking at her peacefully sleeping, he silently conveyed a story that couldn’t be spoken aloud in his gaze.
Eve, seeing how much your expression has relaxed, your dream world seems quite peaceful. I’ve been praying for you to wake up quickly, but today, I feel like I need to tell you a slightly different story.
Eve, it’s okay if your dream lasts a bit longer. If possible, when everything is over, it would be nice if you opened your eyes for the first time. I hope the world you see when you wake up is as beautiful as it was before it collapsed.
Eve, I will do my best for you. I will definitely give you a beautiful world as a gift. When you open your eyes, I hope you can be happy without pain or suffering.
I will definitely make it so. I won’t die. I will definitely endure. I will overcome.
So, let’s meet again for sure.
He stared at Evelia with eyes full of deep affection. And at the moment his heart painfully constricted again, Caliph stood up from his seat.
He gently placed Evelia’s hand, which he had been holding tightly, on her flat stomach and tidied up the disheveled blanket. Only then did he turn around.
“……Caliph.”
As if waiting, Felix met eyes with Caliph. He was biting his lower lip with a pale face.
Even without asking what that meant, it was clear. They had been feeling it all along. The ominous aura was gradually approaching.
“You’ve come.”
Caliph replied briefly and walked slowly towards the window. Until half a day ago, the purple sky, visible only from a distance, had now approached in front of the Prince’s Palace. Below it, the figure of Yustia walking with an unusually venomous smile was visible.
Their eyes met unexpectedly. Then, Yustia’s bright red lips twisted even more grotesquely.
Caliph silently endured that gaze. And as Yustia walked across the gardens of the Prince’s Palace, she turned her head towards Felix.
“You’re here.”
“Don’t talk nonsense! Do you think you can defeat the Author alone? Even I couldn’t beat that opponent!”
“I know, it won’t be easy. Still, if we rush in with all our might, we might be able to leave a mark, don’t you think?”
“Ha, Caliph, please. Thinking of going out alone is such a reckless idea. It’s almost like committing suicide!”
Felix grabbed Caliph’s shoulders forcefully. Despite Felix’s expression crumbling into a mess, it vividly revealed deep concern for Caliph.
Even so, Caliph didn’t give Felix the answer he desperately wanted.
He firmly held Felix’s hand gripping his shoulder. Then, for a moment, he exerted force and pushed it into the air.
“You stay here and protect Eve. I’ll try to endure as long as I can.”
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.
