In Ho’s hurried movements stopped at the couple’s bedroom.
He carefully placed Su Yeon down only after ensuring the bed frame was underfoot.
As the soft blanket wrapped around her body, their entangled lips unintentionally parted.
In Ho opened his tightly closed eyes and looked at Su Yeon.
Her eyes were red and swollen.
Her cheeks, too, were flushed.
Looking at her entirely red face, In Ho felt breathless.
She was so beautiful it was enough to make him forget to breathe.
This only fueled the heat that was already burning fiercely within him.
But he knew he couldn’t just push her based on instinct, especially in a situation like this.
“Su Yeon.”
In Ho called her softly.
His voice, deep and resonating, flowed out.
And just at the sound of it, Su Yeon’s body shivered.
Just hearing her name, it felt as if every inch of her body was steeped in his scent.
But this was just the beginning.
“I am so lacking, but can I… can I keep loving you?”
His tender voice pierced Su Yeon’s ears and lodged deep in her heart.
Su Yeon held her breath and stared at the man towering over her.
His appearance was full of tension.
His rapidly fluttering eyelashes and even his eyes trembled anxiously.
It was as if he still doubted he deserved to hear those words of affection.
“Foolishly….”
Su Yeon murmured softly.
In Ho furrowed his brows, apparently not having heard her.
Instead of repeating herself, Su Yeon brought her fingers to the wrinkles on his forehead.
Gently smoothing over the deeply etched lines, his skin quickly tightened.
It was as if his skin had been waiting for her touch.
She liked his immediate reaction.
His cautious demeanor, almost foolish in its care, was endearing to her.
It all seemed to indicate that Seo In Ho shared the same feelings as Choi Su Yeon.
“Of course.”
“…….”
“If you’re okay with someone like me, always.”
Su Yeon’s voice flowed out wistfully.
Her brief words were more than enough to stir the thirst In Ho had been suppressing.
Without hesitation, In Ho kissed her.
The kiss was fervent, as if to prove the previous one was nothing.
He eagerly captured every breath that escaped her lips.
Drinking in but still feeling parched.
He liberally scattered his heated breath wherever skin was exposed.
With each touch, traces of desire appeared.
Yet In Ho’s thirst remained unquenched.
He pursued Su Yeon as intensely as the burning thirst within him.
Then he felt the gentle strength of her hands gripping his waist.
In Ho’s head helplessly lifted up.
The hot breath that spilled from her reddened lips showered over his face.
In Ho inhaled it as if he had been waiting for it.
The breath that filled his lungs was surprisingly sweet.
This left him momentarily dazed, gazing intently at Su Yeon.
The lips that seemed unable to endure any longer were tightly bitten, and the reddened bridge of the nose was visible.
Then, their gazes intertwined.
In that moment, In Ho understood the reason for the thirst he couldn’t comprehend before.
Su Yeon’s eyes were boiling with the same emotion as his.
The words of assurance that seemed casual in the heat of the moment seemed to be anything but casual; she appeared to be yearning for him just as much.
Realizing this, In Ho felt the nagging thirst that had been tormenting him subside.
Deep-seated truths, locked away in his heart, surged up to his throat.
“I love you.”
“…….”
“I love you, Su Yeon.”
In Ho’s voice, clearer than ever before, filled the bedroom.
And it resonated in Su Yeon’s heart.
Her eyes, already wide, trembled in disbelief before finally succumbing to tears.
Tears that had been precariously clinging to the edge now rolled down her temples.
Simultaneously, their lips met as if by some unspoken agreement.
Flesh burrowed into seams, meeting with tenderness.
Brief separations felt like an eternity of loss, as they clung to each other persistently, entwined.
Their kiss, while merely a meeting of lips, deeply conveyed confessions of love that had gone unsaid for so long.
In Ho embraced Su Yeon even tighter, as if to fill even the smallest gaps between them.
He wanted to fill everything with her – the emptiness in his arms and the perpetual void in his heart.
This reignited his thirst.
In Ho lifted his head and looked at Su Yeon after parting their lips abruptly.
In that fleeting glance, much was communicated.
Su Yeon nodded slightly and hugged his neck with all her strength.
She kissed his nape lightly.
The closer their distance, the heavier the weight of Su Yeon on him felt.
Noticing his tension or perhaps to comfort him, he kissed her forehead, the bridge of her nose, and her temples repeatedly.
A vague pain followed the spine in the midst of ceaseless sweetness.
Even with her eyes tightly shut, Su Yeon put more strength into the arms holding him.
It was an immensely happy moment.
Indescribably precious.
She felt as if she would willingly rewind time to the day they first met if it meant experiencing this moment again.
That much, Su Yeon was exceedingly happy.
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.
