Idel, in her unveiled robe, shone blindingly white. Under the sunlight, her transparent white skin sparkled lustrously.
The bathing suit made of white chiffon was a midriff design with a deep neckline and sleeveless. Her slender shoulders and arms, and the waist contrasting the plump chest were all revealed.
Below that, the skirt pants, made of the same material as the top, showed off her thighs and legs that smoothly extended up to her knees.
At the time, most bathing suits were kneelength dress styles with short sleeves and underpants, so all women could expose were arms and calves at best. Even those were often covered with tights.
Compared to this, the bathing suit newly designed by Madame Pompadour was a bold and quite revolutionary attempt.
“Shall… we start?”
Idel, unable to bear the intense gaze directed at her, wrapped her body with both arms.
Lowering her gaze, she could not meet his eyes and barely spoke out. She wanted to rush into the water.
“…Come in.”
Caeron, who seemed a little drowsy and lowered his voice, turned his back first and went into the water.
Caeron, turning his back, pressed his cheekbones with an embarrassed expression. It was he who instructed Marilyn to prepare the luggage so that she could swim in the sea in advance.
Since she had never been to the sea, it would have been her first time to swim. He wanted her to feel the freedom of actually entering the water, not just looking at the sea.
However, the unexpected appearance of Idel startled him. The image of a woman with a pure face and a voluptuous figure that is not so was captivating enough to not take his eyes off.
‘Ha! I’m going crazy.’
Caeron clenched his teeth feeling the heat concentrating heavily. In order to cool the unexpectedly high body temperature, he immediately immersed himself in the water that felt a little cool.
Then, he tried to regain his sanity and thought to himself. He would never allow the Grand Duke’s daughter to swim where others are. He alone had to see her in that way.
Idel, who had no way of knowing his inner turmoil, stepped into the water following him with an innocent expression full of curiosity.
Even with bathing shoes on, she felt the surprisingly soft touch of the sand. The cool water began to wrap around her ankles slowly with the soft, fluffy touch.
It was different from being in a bathtub due to the calm waves and rippling water. As the gentle waves rolled in, a pleasant excitement enveloped her body.
‘I feel good.’
Idel’s cheeks turned red at the first touch of the sea. Her vibrant eyes began to carefully inspect the blue sea.
Inside the clear seawater, coral reefs, pretty shells, and small marine creatures she had never seen before were clearly visible. Especially, the small fish of a strange color fluttering in front of her caught her eye.
‘Beautiful…’
Unknowingly, Idel began to step foot by foot following the movement of the fish. Just as she felt the water level rising up to her chest,
“Wait! It’s deep there!”
When Caeron, who had cooled down somewhat, found Idel, she had already stepped near the area where the steep dropoff started.
“Kyah!”
With a short scream, Idel disappeared into the water. Seeing this, Caeron immediately dived into the water.
She was floundering in the deep valley of the sea. She choked in pain as the water entered her trachea and soon began to lose consciousness and sink.
‘Damn!’
Caeron spat out a curse and swam as hard and fast as he could. Cutting through the water, he embraced her sinking body.
Carrying Idel in his arms, Caeron immediately rose to the surface and laid her on a wide rock. Her body, which had lost consciousness, was limp.
“Idel! Wake up!”
After confirming her unconscious state, he pressed on the center of her chest. Several compressions later, he tilted her head back, blocked her nose, and began to perform mouthtomouth resuscitation.
“Wake up! Quickly!”
Her face, still not regaining consciousness, turned paler. His eyes were filled with an emotion he had never experienced before.
It was when he repeated the same actions. Idel vomited the water she had swallowed in her drowning.
“Cough!”
“Idel! Open your eyes!”
At the sound of the urgent voice calling her, Idel gradually opened her sleepy eyes. Through her blurry vision, the soaked figure of Caeron gradually became clearer.
She could see his furrowed brow, stiff jawline, and his shaking deep blue eyes.
“…I… am…”
“Have you regained consciousness?”
As Caeron held her shoulder, he slowly helped her sit up. Her trembling, soaked figure leaned weakly against him, looking pitiful.
“…So… cold…”
Her face turned pale blue from the rapid drop in body temperature after falling into the water. Caeron wrapped her body tightly in the nightgown he had taken off.
“Let’s go inside.”
She tried to stand at his words, but her legs lacked strength and she swayed. Caeron easily lifted her.
“Ah…!”
“Wrap your arms around my neck.”
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.
