“Thank you for allowing me. Empress. I actually thought I might be refused.”
Titie smiled bashfully.
Anticipating rejection yet still making the request showed a certain boldness.
Up close, Sephia was like a deer straight out of a myth.
However, Sephia knew not all herbivores, who shared the same blood, were weak and docile.
“Is that so.”
Sephia’s matter-of-fact tone made Titie’s eyes widen in surprise.
It wasn’t a matter of liking or disliking; there was truly nothing more to say.
‘What more is there to talk about?’
A wolf’s mate is for life.
Thus, it was reprehensible for the royal family of divine wolf lineage to take a consort.
But the only exception was a Name imprint.
My husband’s legitimate consort.
Perhaps soon to enter the Imperial Palace.
Titie, seemingly oblivious to Sephia’s thoughts, smiled brightly.
“I would like to get along well with you, Empress.”
At those words, Sephia stirred.
What could be Titie’s true intention?
It was a relationship that sane people could not maintain well.
‘Would it be different if we remove feelings from the equation?’
But that wasn’t the case either.
Even before Titie appeared, Sephia and Demios were not in a loving relationship.
And if mutual imprinting were to occur…
Sephia felt dizzy.
Unresponsive to Sephia, Titie’s eyes suddenly lit up.
“Ah, right. Would you like to see His Majesty’s Name?”
Before Sephia could object,
Titie pulled down her dress to reveal Demios’s Name imprinted on her right chest.
The Name was in stark black lettering.
A perfect imprint.
“That’s enough.”
Sephia’s expression must have turned cold unwittingly, as Titie flinched and trembled.
“I’m sorry. I thought the Empress would be curious.”
“If His Majesty has seen it, there’s no need for me to check.”
“Is that so? If I were the Empress, I would have wanted to see.”
Titie tilted her head, puzzled.
At that moment, the carriage stopped. They had arrived at the Empress’s Palace.
The coachman was about to open the door.
Titie, getting up first, leaned toward Sephia.
“What are you…”
Titie’s shadow obscured Sephia.
In the cast shadow, her violet eyes shimmered mysteriously.
“I will be warming His Majesty’s bed, so don’t worry too much.”
What did I just hear?
Her eerily glittering eyes sent chills down Sephia’s spine.
With a whisper full of malice, the carriage door opened.
Titie, as if nothing had happened, stepped back and smiled radiantly.
She spun around and headed towards the door.
Then she collapsed.
“Ahh!”
As if tripping, her delicate body tumbled forward.
Sephia reflexively stood up at that moment. A deep voice filled the carriage.
“Be careful, I told you.”
Demios caught Titie and gently set her on the ground.
The white doe in his embrace shyly smiled.
“I’m sorry. I tripped.”
In the deepening sunset, their silver and white hair intertwined.
An indisputably well-matched couple.
For a moment, Sephia forgot what had happened inside the carriage.
Beyond Titie, his crimson eyes were watching her.
“Why are you two together?”
Clearly, he was asking Sephia.
Before she could answer, Titie interjected.
“The Empress gave me a ride in her carriage. I was on my way to His Majesty’s residence.”
“You should have used your people.”
Demios’s gaze shifted to Titie.
The white doe’s eyes sparkled lovingly.
“I wanted to visit His Majesty secretly.”
Daring to sneak into the Emperor’s palace.
It was an absurd notion, but her harmless face somehow justified it.
‘He’s always so strict about his territory.’
It was an attitude Sephia couldn’t quite fathom, but Demios seemed indifferent.
While Sephia was unable to take her eyes off them, Demios’s gaze returned to her.
“The Empress?”
“I was returning from a discussion about the Victory Celebration.”
She was relieved to find herself speaking more calmly than expected.
Every palace-organized party was under the Empress’s responsibility.
And it was Sephia’s task to lead them successfully.
Then, Demios’s brows narrowed.
“…Duke Claude Leopold, I assume.”
His sensitive beauty added to his already frigid demeanor.
Strangely, Demios always seemed displeased whenever the Victory Celebration was mentioned.
The reason might be.
‘They have a hostile relationship.’
Claude was the son of the former Emperor’s brother, the Scarlet King, and rightfully part of the royal bloodline.
Demios’s sharp reaction might be because.
‘Was there friction during his ascension?’
But Duke Leopold had been away on conquest for over ten years.
Demios had ascended to the throne seven years ago, securing his position quite some time ago.
“Let’s go in.”
“Yes, Your Majesty.”
At his word, Titie naturally clung to Demios’s arm.
Sephia’s mind froze at how naturally the scene unfolded.
The two were closer than she had anticipated.
‘The past is just the past.’
Today, it was another woman standing beside Demios, not Sephia.
Sephia realized this once again.
That night.
No matter how deep the darkness grew, sleep eluded her.
Even the maidservants were asleep.
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.
