After all, she did all of this to save a person.
“I should never come here again in the future.”
Only then did she turn her head and look at his face.
“Every time I come here, accidents always seem to happen unexpectedly.”
She didn’t say anything, but when he spoke first, Nayoung remained quiet before opening her mouth.
“Still, the people involved in accidents are considered lucky, right? Because they got surgery from Professor.”
Taehyuk was genuinely pleased that Nayoung said that. If she were another woman, she might have only thought about the ruined day due to the accident and blamed him.
Taehyuk reached out and cautiously held her white hand. Nayoung didn’t pull her hand away.
The distance between the two had become somewhat closer without them realizing.
“Our father proposed to our mother here.”
Upon hearing his words, Nayoung looked at him with a surprised expression.
“Really?”
Taehyuk nodded. He heard it from Detective Park Jaesu.
The beautiful bank teller was admired by all the men in the neighborhood, but after his father brought her to this sea, the two became a couple who would spend their entire lives together.
“Even though the person is no longer here, the sea must be the same as it was back then.”
Saying that, Nayoung, who read emptiness in his gaze as he looked at the night sea, approached him a little more and leaned her head on his shoulder.
Feeling each other’s warmth, their hearts became warmer.
“Professor, don’t you have something to give me today?”
Because he didn’t expect her to speak first, Taehyuk’s eyes flickered.
In fact, he had prepared a few romantic words to say before taking out the ring. He even practiced with Cha Hyun.
“Why are you suddenly saying that?”
Worried that it might have a bad meaning, Taehyuk examined her face.
Nayoung, with a truly difficult expression, said, “I can’t wait any longer.”
Before anything else could happen, she hoped he would propose quickly.
He took out a velvet box from his jacket pocket.
Click.
When he opened the box, the diamond ring shone brilliantly, beautifully illuminating the night.
Nayoung couldn’t take her eyes off the ring.
With serious eyes, Taehyuk embraced her and politely asked her.
“Will you marry me?”
It felt as if he had lived for this moment alone.
It was the ending of the time that had passed and the prologue of the time to come.
They couldn’t even think about a future with someone else.
So rejection was meaningless.
However, saying it was okay right away seemed like a loss.
Seeing that they were still calculating losses, it seemed that the two of them would have quite a few fights in the future.
But since that’s the taste of living as a human, they weren’t afraid anymore.
Looking at the ring and his face alternately, Nayoung said calmly.
“If the professor kneels.”
Taehyuk immediately knelt in front of her, lowering one knee and bowing.
Watching from a distance, Hongsik set off the prepared fireworks.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
As the fireworks blossomed into light in the black sky, the sea became momentarily splendid.
Surprised, Nayoung looked up at the sky.
The fireworks bursting in the sky seemed to be congratulating the marriage of the two.
Under the flames, her face brightened, forming a happy expression, and Taehyuk also smiled.
He raised the ring high and asked her again, “Will you please marry me?”
Nayoung’s eyes became warm.
Although it was a place where everything was already known from the beginning, hearing those words directly made her heart swell.
Nayoung took off the silver ring she had on her left ring finger and extended her hand forward.
Taehyuk took the ring from the box and put it on her finger.
Bang!
At that moment, the flames soared to the highest point and exploded.
From a distance, Hongsik raised both hands and applauded enthusiastically.
Taehyuk stood up, embraced her with both arms, and wore a happy smile.
“I love you, Nayoung.”
The love that flowed out in a clear voice felt like an everlasting flower.
Listening to the sound of his heartbeat, Nayoung replied, “Me too.”
In the place where his mother accepted his father’s proposal, Nayoung also accepted his proposal. So, somewhere around here, the two seemed to exist as witnesses to the proposal.
3 weeks later.
Taehyuk bought Cheongsimhwan from a pharmacy for the first time since he was born. After taking one pill and feeling no effect, he asked the pharmacist for another. When he took two pills at once and asked for more Cheongsimhwan, the pharmacist cheered him on.
“You’ll be fine, so don’t worry too much.”
It was strangely reassuring to receive encouragement from someone he had just met.
After taking one pill and feeling no effect, I asked the pharmacist for another.
So, when I took two pills at once and asked for more Cheongsimhwan, the pharmacist cheered me on.
“Don’t worry too much; it will work well.”
Receiving encouragement from someone I just met was strangely reassuring.
Today was the day to formally seek approval for marriage from Nayoung’s parents.
Although I knew that the two of them would no longer oppose his and Nayoung’s marriage,
I felt uneasy without any specific reason.
First, I went to Nayoung’s house and rang the doorbell.
When Nayoung, who opened the door, saw me, she immediately said,
“I smell herbal medicine, Professor.”
I must have overeaten Cheongsimhwan.
After asking Nayoung if there was a washroom at her house, I went to the bathroom to use mouthwash.
Two women who were watching from outside whispered to each other,
“Professor Choi seems nervous, doesn’t he?”
Nayoung also found it worrisome, so she said,
“He seems tense; he won’t make a mistake in front of my father because of nerves, will he?”
“As long as he doesn’t call him ‘dad,’ it’s fine. He wouldn’t do that.”
Seunghee found her own words amusing and was about to burst into laughter, but when she met Taehyuk’s cold gaze, she immediately closed her mouth.
The man going to meet the bride’s father was more sensitive than a woman on her period.
Nayoung, sitting in the passenger seat of the car driven by Taehyuk, cautiously observed him.
“Should I drive?”
“I’m not feeling unwell.”
His face was frozen, making it hard to believe what he said.
“Regardless of what your father says, I will definitely marry Professor. Is your father still against it?”
As his complexion instantly turned pale, Nayoung reached out, touched his shoulder, and comforted him.
“No, and I’ll be right beside you. I’ll protect you from my father at home.”
Only then did a smile appear on Taehyuk’s lips.
“Yeah, reassuring.”
Now, only one step remained until the wedding.
Just thinking about it made his heart race and his feelings flutter.
It wasn’t a fearful tension but an exciting one because this marriage would undoubtedly be the climax of his life.
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.
