“Earl’s family has come to visit?”
Christina informed Lishi of Zen’s visit while she was changing clothes.
Lishi’s heart sunk.
Her husband’s family.
In her past life, the relationship with the family of the Earl of Hutchis was horrible. She had no good memories with her inlaws. It felt even more comfortable with the Witley Duchy.
They seemed to believe that Lishi, who was out of their league, had seduced their amazing and excellent son into marriage.
Julianne, Alfred’s sister, was the wife of Earl Walter, a woman who behaved completely differently indoors and outdoors. Outdoors, she was the elegant and kind Lady Walter, but indoors, she was neurotic and cruel.
Whenever Julianne visited Alfred’s mansion, she inspected the condition of the house. While Julianne scrutinized every corner, Lishi had to follow her quietly like a maid.
Even though cleaning the mansion wasn’t Lishi’s job, if a speck of dust was found on the windowsill, it was blamed on Lishi.
“You, a mistress, can’t even manage this properly without doing anything? Have you learned nothing because you were only treated as a flower in the Witley Duchy? You don’t have the basics, you don’t.”
And then she told a maid to bring a whip.
“You need to be punished when you’ve done something wrong.”
The pain of the thin whip lashing sharply on her calves, it was as if it happened yesterday.
Red lines appeared on her frail white skin, and sometimes blood would ooze out.
Blood trickling down her calf.
Seeing this, Julianne, instead of being surprised, smiled faintly, as if she had hoped for this.
Even after seeing Lishi’s swollen calf, Alfred sided with Julianne.
“My sister values manners. You didn’t learn much. You’re just a flower of the Witley Duchy… If I had known you were treated like this in that house, I wouldn’t have married you. Be grateful that I keep someone like you by my side.”
The parentsinlaw were even worse if possible.
Lishi closed her eyes and tried to calm her quickening breath.
‘It’s all in the past. It won’t happen this time.’
She had forgotten that K also had a family.
As famous as Earl Kevrant, the guardian of the relics, his family was also famous.
The former Earl Wyvern Green and his wife Helena.
Eldert, the second son of the Green family and the vicecaptain of the Knights Templar of the Holy Kingdom.
And the youngest, Jeresien.
As far as Lishi knew, Jeresien rarely attended social gatherings, but he was a person everyone wanted to befriend.
‘Jeresien….’
In her past life, Lishi had seen Jeresien a few times at parties.
But she had only seen him from afar, they had never talked.
‘He seemed cold….’
Even though she referred to it as ‘her past life’, it was only a month ago to Lishi.
Just before she died, she was whipped by Julianne for not being able to have a baby, so the trauma of ‘her husband’s family’ was still there.
Although she didn’t show it outwardly, her heart was pounding so hard that even her temples were throbbing.
“Lady Iris, are you alright? You don’t look well…”
Lishi stared blankly at Christina’s face with a look as if she had just woken up from a dream, then came to her senses.
‘Right, I’m not Iris Witley, nor Iris Hutchis. I’m Iris Green.’
Iris Witley and Iris Hutchis would have endured the unfair punishment, but Iris Green is different.
“You seem to be unwell due to the aftermath. Should I call a doctor?”
Christina’s eyes were full of concern.
Over Christina’s shoulder, Lishi saw Gilet sticking out his tongue.
It was as if he was saying, ‘What’s with the doctor. She’s acting weak.’
Erwell seemed to be thinking, ‘Should I just kill him?’ as he glared at Gilet, but Lishi decided to think that she had misunderstood.
There’s no way a noble from the famous Lutek family would have such a malicious thought.
“I’m fine. It’s just a bit hot today.”
“You shouldn’t push yourself, Lady Iris. You’ll be dining with Sir Jeresien tonight… Sir Jeresien is a bit…”
Christina trailed off, then added,
“The Earl’s guards were flustered in front of Sir Jeresien.”
Erwell nodded vigorously, as if agreeing.
Lishi also wanted to avoid it if she could.
But she couldn’t avoid K’s family for the rest of her life.
‘Besides….’
While lingering in death, Lishi saw K’s family dying.
Kevrant’s parents, his younger brother, and his younger sister did not die living comfortably.
‘I don’t know the exact time…’
If the vision seen in death is the future that will really happen, the parts that can be changed should be changed.
‘Firstly.’
Iris discarded her fear and regained her calm.
‘After I judge them.’

Kevrant knew that marriage was not something that one could proceed with on his own.
Though love marriages were popular, Kevrant was very well aware that it was still an important matter between families.
However.
“I completely forgot.”
When Jamie asked him if he hadn’t informed the Duke and Duchess about his marriage, Kevrant responded firmly.
Jamie looked at Kevrant blankly, at a loss for words, and then said,
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.
