Tae Hyuk sent Na Young away first, then coldly warned Lee Cheol-kwon’s daughter.
“Don’t tell anyone about what you saw today.”
She smirked, seemingly enjoying his irritation.
“So, you’re admitting I have something on you?”
Tae Hyuk firmly responded, highlighting the gravity of the situation.
“Your father is battling cancer. Do you think it’s appropriate to behave this way with the doctor who’s going to perform his surgery?”
“So, you’re not confident about saving my dad?”
For the first time in front of a patient’s family, Tae Hyuk found himself at a loss for words. He knew he could save the patient, but admitting it would let her gloat over having leverage over him.
Turning away, Tae Hyuk looked up at the sky and sighed heavily. He then asked her in a heavy tone.
“What do you want from me?”
He knew that if she spread rumors, Na Young would be the one who suffered the most. He had no choice but to negotiate.
Still feeling her heart racing, Na Young realized Tae Hyuk’s assurance was easier said than done.
She cautiously asked Dong Gun about Lee Cheol-kwon’s family in the VIP room.
“His daughter openly admitted she found Professor Tae Hyuk attractive, right in front of her cancer-stricken father. She seems quite self-willed. Well, our professor isn’t exactly easy-going either, haha.”
Dong Gun laughed, praising Tae Hyuk’s tough personality.
Na Young couldn’t join in the laughter. She regretted leaving Tae Hyuk alone with that woman.
“What if the relationship between Professor Tae Hyuk and her becomes a rumor…”
Suddenly, Dong Gun exclaimed, “Speak of the devil! There’s Lee Cheol-kwon’s daughter.”
Na Young felt her heart sink.
Turning around, she saw the same woman from the lab walking towards them.
Stopping in front of Na Young, the woman introduced herself.
“Remember me? Let me introduce myself properly. I’m Lee Ju-ah, the daughter of the L Department Store president, currently in the VIP room.”
Extending her hand confidently, Lee Ju-ah waited for Na Young’s response.
Dong Gun looked nervously between the two women, sensing the tension.
Lee Ju-ah, noticing Na Young’s hesitation, grinned and whispered in her ear.
“Don’t worry. I’ve settled things with Professor Choi. He asked me to tell you personally.”
Stepping back, she lightly flicked her hair.
“See you around.”
As Lee Ju-ah walked away, Dong Gun approached Na Young.
“What did she whisper to you?”
Na Young clenched her fists tightly.
Even if Lee Ju-ah truly kept her word and didn’t spread any rumors, Na Young had zero faith in her being a good person.
That day, Na Young went to Tae Hyuk’s house for the first time after work, feeling the need to have a proper conversation with him.
Lee Ju-ah’s remark about having a ‘good talk’ with Tae Hyuk nagged at her mind. She needed to know what he had promised Lee Ju-ah.
Ding-dong.
Na Young rang the doorbell and waited. Knowing Tae Hyuk had left the hospital, she expected him to be home, but no one answered even after a minute.
Growing impatient, she called Tae Hyuk.
Rrrrrrrrr Rrrrrrrrr[Ring] [The customer you are calling is not available. Please leave a message after the tone.]
Frustrated, Na Young also called Director Cha Hyun, suspecting that if Tae Hyuk was meeting someone after work, it would be him.
[Hello?]As Cha Hyun picked up the call, Na Young immediately asked.
“Are you with Professor Tae Hyuk?”
[No, I’m on a filming set right now.]Na Young’s face darkened as Cha Hyun confirmed he wasn’t with Tae Hyuk.
“No.”
[So, are you worried Tae Hyuk might be cheating on you?]The thought hadn’t even crossed her mind, but Cha Hyun’s suggestion suddenly filled her with anxiety.
“It’s not easy,” Na Young muttered, feeling overwhelmed.
Just when she was gathering the courage to progress their relationship, this unsettling situation made her confidence plummet.
[The harder it is, the sweeter it is when you succeed.]Cha Hyun’s words were probably right, but the realization that it was all up to her didn’t ease her mind.
Noticing her silence, Cha Hyun tried to divert her attention.
[Do you know why Tae Hyuk is so dedicated to being a doctor?]“Because he’s capable.”
[Think he started off like that? Tae Hyuk chose to go to medical school after a near-death experience. That’s why he knows the value of this path.]Na Young straightened up, intrigued by this new insight into Tae Hyuk’s past.
[Adversity, if feared, can make us cowardly, but if faced, it can foster growth. That’s why my movies always have trials. Stories without them are just too bland.]Na Young silently absorbed Cha Hyun’s words, which seemed to resonate not just with the moment but with her entire life.
The realization that challenges weren’t just seeds of misfortune but could lead to different outcomes based on one’s attitude hit home.
She once again realized the importance of being brave.
To truly become the master of her life, Na Young knew she had to shed the label of being a victim.
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.
