The Beloved Youngest Daughter of the Lord Family - Chapter 158
“It’s a success!! We’ve finally killed the Duke!”
An assassin, elated at having eliminated Ranian, let out a quiet exclamation.
The moment he turned his back to call his comrades outside the tent, a chair scraped sharply against the floor behind him.
“How impolite—to disturb my rare moment of rest.”
It was the same smooth, composed voice as always. Startled, the man hesitantly turned around to see Ranian casually pull the dagger from his chest and toss it carelessly to the ground.
“Wherever I go, a few pesky flies always seem to follow. I tried to keep things quiet, yet here you are… causing trouble.”
“H-How are you perfectly fine? I was certain you’d died instantly…”
“If a wound this minor could kill me, I wouldn’t have survived this long. I’m not like ordinary humans or demons.”
Ranian wiped the blood spatter from his cheek with a finger and grinned.
The assassin stumbled backward, staring at him with terror in his eyes.
‘So this monster is the Imperial Army’s Supreme Commander… I should’ve realized sooner that something was off about the Duke. Why did no one ever suspect him?’
In truth, public opinion of Ranian hadn’t been particularly negative until just recently—right up until their arrival at the frontier.
He had appeared as a noble figure stepping forward in place of the indolent, arrogant aristocracy and the Emperor himself, seemingly a hero destined to save the Empire from demonic provocation.
Though there was some resentment over forced conscription, most commoners attributed it to Karl’s imperial decree and thus held little ill will toward Ranian.
Negative sentiment toward him began to boil over only after golems appeared on the front lines.

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.
