“Why are you like that?”
“……I have to prepare the fourth gift she wants.”
Last time, Tae Min Hyuk had prepared earrings because the fifth gift she wanted from a lover was ‘jewelry’. Yes, he thought that would be safe. But was he really going to give all the gifts from fifth to first place in order?
“So what’s the fourth?”
Cha Woong asked with an oddly anxious voice. He didn’t want to hear it, but he felt like he had to. Tae Min Hyuk answered the question thrown with such ambivalence.
“It was ‘cash’.”
“Don’t do it, oh, please don’t.”
Maybe Miss Eun Seo Woo was not drying Tae Min Hyuk’s blood because of her request, but it was just Tae Min Hyuk’s own doing.
“Cash seems like a good gift. It’s useful and can be used as desired……”
“You must be crazy, really.”
He decided to give up thinking about where to start teaching.
Was this love affair okay like this?
Cha Woong’s sigh deepened like the winter night moonlight.

After work, Seo Woo received a phone call while discussing with a client at a café near the office where she took freelance translation work.
So, what Tae Min Hyuk had seen a little while ago was Seo Woo with her translation company client.
“What? Really?”
She asked in surprise. Her younger brother Shin Woo had called to tell her surprising news. It was about a fruit store event that took place in the apartment playground today.
Uh, Jun Woo won all the arm wrestling, and I solved all the quizzes. Anyway, we got a TV, a refrigerator, and a dryer. Mom was really happy saying we could change all the home appliances.
“You did well. I should have gone to see.”
It’s not just looking. If you had come, we would have gotten even more. They also did things like slicing cucumbers thinly and quickly inflating balloons. You’re good at that stuff.
“That’s right. It’s a shame.”
Even though she said that, she was only surprised because the prizes won by Shin Woo and Jun Woo were amazing.
Changing household chores to the point of an anniversary event of a neighborhood fruit store. The scale was indeed surprising.
Is it too late for you?
“I’ll go home after finishing talking with the team leader here. It won’t be too late.”
Okay. Be careful on your way home, and if it’s too dark on the way from the bus stop, call me at the convenience store. I’ll go out.
“Okay. You rest.”
Seo Woo hung up the phone.
“Your younger sibling?”
The team leader, who had kindly allowed me to take a call while checking his emails, looked up and asked.
“Yes, it was my sibling. They had won a bunch of prizes from some event and were thrilled.”
“Wow, I never win those kinds of things. Your sibling must be talented.”
Seo Woo, who had agreed with a laugh, discussed the work that needed to be done with the supervisor. It was a translation job she had been getting since university, thanks to a senior’s introduction.
In addition to her fluent writing style, Seo Woo was highly trusted for her ability to accurately translate even technical terms in corporate documents.
She dug into and studied unknown areas until she fully understood them, hence she was primarily handling corporate professional translations and dissertations, including credit appraisals, investment proposals, financial statements, and market reports.
The translation office wanted her to officially join them after graduation, but she decided to work as a freelancer, taking on outsourced work.
Originally, she had dreamt of becoming an interpreter, but she had cleanly given up on that as it required more study. She was quite satisfied with the way things were.
“Miss Seo Woo, I’m counting on you this time as well. Thank you.”
“I’m the one who’s thankful. Thank you for entrusting this to me.”
“Oh, we got this job because of you, Seo Woo.”
The supervisor, smiling, picked up her bag.
“The boss gave me a card to buy you something really delicious today, but I feel sorry about it.”
“No, you should go now. I feel bad making you wait until I finish work on your wedding anniversary.”
“I forgot about that. I feel bad either way.”
They were originally supposed to have dinner together, but the supervisor said she had to leave as she had forgotten about her wedding anniversary. It was fortunate that she remembered, even if it was late, otherwise, it could have been a big problem.
“We’re having a company dinner this week, you should come. Everyone will be glad. You’re part of our family, Seo Woo. I should tell the boss that we’re having Korean beef since you’re coming.”
“Yes, team leader. Please let me know.”
Seo Woo said goodbye to the supervisor with a smile.

On the way home.
It wasn’t very late, but it was an awkward time to have dinner.
‘What should I do? Should I eat before I go home?’
I had told my family earlier that I would have dinner before coming home. I’m worried that it would be unnecessarily complicated if I went home and ate late.
The mother, Mrs. Hwang, would probably ask what on earth that means if she knew, but it was routine for Seo Woo to worry about making others uncomfortable from the inside.
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.
