At that moment, Ren’s two arms, extended from behind Sharti, embraced her as if holding her.
Ren’s breath touched Sharti’s neck, causing a shiver.
In the cold breath that melted the chilled skin, Sharti stiffened.
“The bear is trying to eat the doctor!”
“Let’s save her!”
Children with strong fighting spirit clenched potato-like fists and rushed towards Ren.
This time, Ren started avoiding the children who were charging at him.
Still hugging Sharti from behind.
‘Ren!’
Sharti wanted to tell Ren to let go, but she couldn’t open her mouth, afraid the children might get scared and cry.
Instead, she conveyed the message by patting Ren’s thick arms.
The eyes of the children watching this scene sparkled.
“It’s not a bear! It’s a demon king!”
“The doctor is a princess! They’re trying to take her away!”
“What do we do!”
“……?”
In an instant, roles were assigned, and the situation play began.
While Sharti blinked, the children focused on the situation play, creating a heightened tension.
“Let’s save the princess from the demon king!”
“Let’s save her!”
With roaring cheers, the children rushed towards Ren.
‘A princess?’
Where did they get the idea that she was a princess? Sharti, with her plain robe covering her face, was undoubtedly a witch.
‘Ah, well, it makes sense. If a doctor becomes a witch, it might seem like that.’
Facing the problem of refusing even when making medicine for children’s illnesses, Sharti bravely accepted the role of a princess.
“You wicked demon king! Release the princess!”
“Release her!”
The children vigorously swung fists resembling padded sticks at Ren. Despite not being able to see in front of him, Ren skillfully avoided the children’s attacks.
Unable to rescue the princess from the blinded demon king, the children gritted their teeth and opened their eyes with determination.
“We are too weak!”
“No! A true hero cannot rescue a princess!”
“……?”
The girls placed their hands on their hips and enlightened the boys about reality.
“Princesses are saved by princes!”
“That’s right!”
It was a difference in each child’s preferred fairy tale preference.
“Then who will be the prince?”
“He has to come find us!”
The children, confused at first, looked around.
Then, a girl raised her hand with sparkling eyes.
“Ashu oppa!”
“……!”
As soon as Ashu was called, strength flowed into Ren’s biceps.
There was no pressure on his body, but Sharti felt his biceps firming up.
“Ashu oppa is the prince!”
“Huh?”
Having responded to the children’s call and rushed over, Ashu rolled his eyes to understand the situation.
Seeing the determined gazes of Ren, who held Sharti from behind, and the children, Ashu burst into laughter.
“Yeah. I’ll be the prince.”
Ashu readily accepted the role.
With a reliable ally, the expressions of the children brightened.
Ashu, behind the children, looked at Ren with a firm face.
“Defeat the wicked demon king, Prince!”
“Let’s help the prince!”
Facing the villain, the unity was unquestionable.
“Ashu oppa! Comfort the princess soon!”
“Huh?”
Demanding a fairy-tale-like love story, the girls made Ashu stammer.
“Soon!”
Empowered by the courage the children provided, the bewildered Ashu swallowed nervously and closed his eyes tightly.
“Soon, I will rescue the princess!”
“Kyaa!”
With the brave prince’s shout, the girls rolled their eyes and cheered. The children’s immersion in the perfect situation play was high.
Ashu quietly approached Ren. The ending the children wanted was clear.
The prince defeating the demon king and rescuing the princess.
“But, the demon king…?”
“…….!”
However, Ren didn’t even blink. There was no sign of letting go of Sharti.
As the standoff prolonged, Ashu glanced awkwardly at Sharti.
Then, Ren, who had been silent all along, slowly spoke.
“I can’t let go of the princess.”
“……!”
As Ashu blinked at the illusion of eyes flickering beyond the blindfold, Ren shifted his posture, lifting Sharti with a change in the position of his arms.
With one arm supporting Sharti’s hip, he lifted her forward.
In an instant, the view heightened, surprising Sharti, who quickly touched Ren’s shoulder.
“She’s my princess.”
Ren growled in a threatening manner. At the childish threat, Sharti and Ashu’s mouths hung open.
Suddenly, Ren, who had been faithfully following his role, was excessively immersed.
The children froze in place due to Ren’s demeanor, resembling a real demon king.
Perhaps the demon king seemed too powerful, or it wasn’t the expected development, but the girls started to whimper.
“Uh, excuse me!”
“I won’t let you take her.”
“Waaah!”
“Huuuung!”
Ignoring Ashu’s words, Ren firmly stuck to his role, and the children eventually burst into tears.
Hearing the children’s crying, people started to gather around, wondering what was happening. The disapproving looks towards Ren, who had made the children cry with realistic acting, were not good.
‘It seems like things are getting out of hand.’
By now, Sharti also nervously assessed the atmosphere.
Even though Sharti and Ren were temporary outsiders about to leave, they couldn’t leave a bad impression.
Above all, Sharti didn’t want to leave unpleasant memories for the children.
‘…I guess I have no choice.’
With a determined mind, Sharti took a deep breath.
“Prince, I’m sorry.”
Speaking in a stiff tone as if reading a book, Sharti opened her mouth.
The monster-like voice shocked the children, causing their tears to momentarily stop. Sniff, while hearing the children’s sniffling, Sharti gritted her teeth.
With embarrassment, her face turned bright red.
“I’m not really a princess.”
“……!”
In any case, it would be better to show an ending that resembled a fairy tale.
With a firm decision, Sharti turned her head quickly. Based on her experience with Tane and fairy tale books, she had to create a new story.
“I’ve been abandoned and hated by people….”
Sharti closed her eyes tightly.
” I’m a deer. This appearance is fake.”
“……Gasp!”
As the children’s eyes widened, Sharti suddenly hugged Ren’s neck tightly with both arms.
She couldn’t face the innocent children while claiming to be an animal.
“But the demon king brought me here like this.”
Gradually, her voice lowered, sounding like a mumble.
Worried if it would be properly conveyed to the children, Sharti couldn’t raise her voice any further.
‘My face is going to burst!’
Struggling with self-loathing and unable to lift her face, Sharti failed to notice the silence that had fallen around her.
“I… want to stay by the demon king’s side.”
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.
