After returning from Jeju Island to Seoul, Yeonji spent her time as if nothing had happened outwardly.
Instead, she became even more active on social media, especially when Samsup was around. She pretended to work more actively, thinking that Samsup would report his diligent work to Hyukjoo, and if Hyukjoo knew that she was not wavering, his heart might soften a little.
“Now that I know I’m not that child, what should I do?”
Yeonji mumbled while biting her fingernails.
She consistently denied Hyukjoo’s questioning, which seemed like an interrogation. It seemed inappropriate to admit her lie in that situation.
Yeonji’s face brightened for a moment as she contemplated what to do next.
“Just say it was a coincidence.”
She also had a presence that comforted each other when they were unwell, and as she talked about it, she decided to tell a few things that overlapped, making it seem like that.
If she said that she didn’t do it on purpose, Hyukjoo wouldn’t have much choice.
“If he knows I didn’t do it on purpose, he’ll understand.”
It was truly fortunate that Yeonji consistently feigned ignorance to Hyukjoo’s demand for admission of the lie.
“Shall we start working again?”
Yeonji opened a box and took out a mist.
She had promised the company to take a picture of herself using the mist, including the mist brand as a hashtag, and upload it to her SNS.
“You’ve never heard of it, right? Let’s just take it roughly.”
Yeonji, who went to the dressing table, put the mist among the cosmetics she used.
Then, after taking a picture, she finally cleaned up the messy dressing table, including the phrase, “These are the items I’m using these days,” and posted it on SNS.
She included several famous cosmetic brands in the picture as hashtags and inserted the mist brand in between.
“All done!”
Yeonji captured the post and sent it to the company’s PR manager. After finishing all the tasks, she went to the kitchen and took out a can of beer from the refrigerator.
Just as she was about to drink the beer refreshingly, the doorbell rang.
“Ugh, annoying.”
Knowing who rang the bell, Yeonji’s face wrinkled as soon as she heard the bell. With the beer can in her hand, she opened the door. As expected, Samsup came into her house.
“Drinking in broad daylight?”
“Whether others drink or not, what does it matter?”
“Look at this talkative one. I’ve been trying to tell you since last time, but it’s not right for you to speak first without my permission.”
“If you don’t like it, you don’t have to meet me.”
Yeonji glanced at Samsup with an annoyed look. Samsup pretended to clench his fist as if to strike her. Then Yeonji smiled and pushed her head against Samsup.
“Hit me.”
“Huh, this brat suddenly grew some guts.”
“Come to think of it, I don’t have a reason to be scared of my oppa. Debt? Just pay it off.”
“Pay it off? Sure, you said it well. When are you going to pay it off?”
“…….”
“Though in Jeju, she teased me as if she would pay right away, after leaving it at the Galchat house, there has been no sign of the child going out alone.”
“She says she will pay. Don’t worry; I’ll repay my brother’s money no matter what.”
As if my head and heart weren’t already complicated enough, my fever skyrocketed when the likes of Samseop, acting foolishly, came into my house and stirred up trouble. Yeonji gulped down the beer she held in her hand.
As the cold beer went in, it suddenly occurred to Yeonji that there had been no contact between Hyukjoo and Samseop since then.
Moreover, if Samseop deliberately spilled the beans about his past, it would be a big problem.
On SNS, Yeonji was commonly referred to as a “gold spoon.” People would undoubtedly unleash severe criticism once the truth was revealed.
She could endure any amount of criticism. However, Yeonji did not want to lose the praise and attention people showered on her in the comments every time she posted something.
To avoid that, she had to manipulate Samseop well.
To forget about that for a moment, like a fool.
Yeonji rolled her eyes down. She put down the empty beer can on the table and picked up her phone.
“Is your account number still the same, oppa?”
“What?”
“I’m going to pay it back little by little.”
“Just now, you were brazenly talking back. Why are you suddenly acting submissive? Do you think I’ll lower the interest rate for you?”
“I’m not asking you to lower the interest.”
Yeonji sighed deeply, opened the refrigerator, and took out another can of beer. Samseop’s small eyes squinted as he watched her suddenly gloomy expression.
What’s that? What kind of scheme is she trying to pull now?
“You’re saying that.”
“Yeah?”
“It’s awkward to think of you as the Samseop I knew before. I’ve decided not to trust just about anyone after going through all sorts of ups and downs in prison. That includes you, just about anyone.”
“Oppa, you worry about everything.”
“If you mess up, I don’t know what I’ll do. So do well.”
“I got it.”
Yeonji clenched her molars.
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.
