The Empress' Scandalous Paramour (5 Chapters Left to Complete) - Chapter 82
“If I fail to become an absolute monarch wielding supreme imperial authority, I will surely lose someone else while living as a human.”
Meeting Charlotte’s family, who had hurried into the palace, I held that thought the entire time.
Golden hair and crimson eyes.
A being half-human, half-demon.
After my conversation with Meriem, I resolved to accept that human aspect of myself.
It was part of me; denying it wouldn’t make it vanish right then and there.
“My sister often had prophetic dreams since childhood.”
Julia, Charlotte’s younger sister, was surprisingly composed.
Her face, resembling Charlotte’s, bore a solemn resolve, as though she had already shed all her tears before entering the imperial palace.
“She always sensed when misfortune was about to befall our family. It happened again this time. She told us she dreamed something had happened to Your Majesty the Empress… and insisted we rush here immediately.”
“So that’s what Charlotte did.”
“Yes. But I know she died satisfied—she saved Your Majesty. What greater honor could there be?”
At Julia’s resolute words, Charlotte and Julia’s mother buried her face in her hands.
Julia embraced her trembling mother, bit her lip, then cast a desperate, pleading look at me.
“Serving in the imperial palace, my sister always knew the risk of assassination. Our whole family understood and accepted it. Since it was the path she chose… I will respect it.”

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.
