The End Of The Special Contract Marriage (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 32
The softly scattering voice was calm. The side profile gazing down at the river was the same.
But the words recited by lips sculpted as if from a statue were far from peaceful.
“It’s because I, at seven years old, was the first to discover my deceased mother. Everyone thought the shock had driven the young me mad.”
Between the haphazardly woven words lay deeper stories, but there was no intention to explain every detail.
Damian bringing up his reluctant past, even vaguely, was purely out of consideration for Aracila’s frustration at knowing nothing.
“Of course, I wasn’t truly mad. It was just a situation fabricated by those who wanted me to become so.”
A son driven mad by the shock of witnessing his dead mother. What better condition to push someone into the abyss?
“I was confined to the annex and suffered abuse under the guise of treatment. If I resisted, they forcibly held me down, locked me in a wardrobe, or bound my hands and feet with cloth.”
The ones leading this were the current Duchess Vandermir and her maids.
Until Damian grew up and overcame those forces, repeated violence was inflicted on the young him. The sensation of hands roughly grabbing his small body still felt vivid.
“The aversion to others’ touch that I felt back then still remains with me.”
Damian knew. That now no one could touch him recklessly as they did when he was young. That he had become strong enough that countless assassins couldn’t even graze a hair on his head.
So the fear had vanished, but the aversion had not.
“Perhaps that’s why I ended up rejecting even the touch of people approaching with kindness, or even because they said they liked me.”
Touches without malice came with disgust.

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.
