Dajeong spoke with a touch of complaint, and she smiled wryly. There were many things to say about the current situation where Jiwon and Siwoo were being troubled by baseless rumors, but even explaining it felt trivial.
“If you were coming, you should have told me. I would have come to pick you up.”
“Senior, really. Why would I come to pick up a perfectly fine girlfriend?”
When Dajeong retorted, Sookyung, with innocent eyes, agreed.
“This guy still has a long way to go.”
“What can I do? Think of it as saving a life. Sookyung has to reform him.”
Between the laughter of the two women, Dojun cleared his throat loudly.
Dajeong naturally slipped in between the two and smoothly took the role of the president. Since most people came with their partners, it was somewhat awkward to enter alone, but with the two of them entering side by side, they could alleviate the awkwardness.
The most welcoming people among the attendees were the veteran voice actors, who were deeply engaged in chatting with each other.
“Yoo Dajeong, this rascal. I thought I’d die missing you.”
Hyejin, who came with the voice actor and his spouse, warmly embraced Dajeong. Due to their close friendship since school days, the joy was doubled by the time they hadn’t seen each other.
After firmly imprinting her face with the alumni association president Ha Taeyong, among others, Dajeong finally filled her plate at the buffet and found a suitable table to sit at. Dojun and the voice actor couple were also present.
“Seriously, you sneaky guy. You hid such a beauty, and all this time, you pretended like she didn’t exist?”
Even though Dojun tried to justify that they had only recently met, the sense of betrayal felt by the voice actor couldn’t be easily appeased.
Around that time, on a small stage, the alumni association president’s welcoming speech had begun. With the alcohol flowing, tongues were already half-tied.
Someone dramatically announced the news of his remarriage, and a few congratulatory messages followed.
As more drinks were consumed, the elegant and dignified space gradually became chaotic, resembling a marketplace.
Some were busy pouring and drinking, someone played a light melody, and the loud laughter of women gossiping was heard from another corner.
It was during this time, as the group was engaging in casual conversation while having their meal, that several couples, like hyenas circling their prey, flocked to Dajeong’s table.
It was none other than Gosowon and his lackeys, who were expected to spread unpleasant rhetoric.
“Dojun oppa! How much is this beauty?”
Sowon cheerfully raised her voice as if they had just met.
Knowing that Dajeong was the primary target, Sowon, who had no past friendship with Dojun, clung to him affectionately.
“It’s been a while. How have you been?”
“But who is this? Your girlfriend? Nice to meet you, I’m Gosowon.”
Sowon extended her hand to Sookyung.
“Nice to meet you, I’m Isookyung.”
After a light handshake with Sookyung, Sowon introduced the well-dressed man standing beside her.
“Oh, this one is the person I’m going to marry. Dr. Han River Hospital.”
“Nice to meet you. I’m Masangho.”
The man introduced himself. By this point, envy and admiration were expected to burst out, but for some reason, the response was lukewarm.
Sowon, who intended to boast with her prospective ‘doctor’ husband, turned her attention to Dajeong when things didn’t go as planned.
“Oh my! Dajeong, you’re here too. How long has it been?”
“It’s been a while.”
Dajeong forced a smile.
“I didn’t expect you to come, even though you said you would.”
“I told you. I said I would clear up the deep misunderstandings before they spread.”
“Okay, okay. You shouldn’t let baseless rumors spread like they’re true.”
Sowon vigorously nodded, then loudly addressed those around her.
“Hey, guys! You all know, right? There’s a rumor that Dajeong married and even has a child.”
“Hey! Gosowon!”
Dojun shouted with a burst of anger, and then Sowon widened her eyes.
“Why are you all like this? If I mutter behind people’s backs and keep my mouth shut in front, am I a good person? Why do you make only me look bad? Honestly, everyone here already knows about that rumor.”
All eyes focused on the table, and silence enveloped the surroundings. Amid the silence, seemingly curious, the voice actor cautiously spoke.
“Dajeong. No way…? You wouldn’t do that.”
Then, Hyejin prodded her husband’s side, telling him to be quiet. Dajeong took a deep breath and spoke.
“That’s right. That’s all a baseless rumor.”
The voice actor let out a relieved sigh.
“Oh, I knew it. Dajeong would never do that. She was the most sincere person even when we were in school. Who spread such ridiculous rumors?”
“But it’s true that there’s a child. It’s also true that I’m not married. Because I’m a single-minded person.”
Dajeong’s voice rang out powerfully. Just when another silence seemed to settle in the room, Sowon burst into fake laughter.
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.
