“I’m a bit tired. I think I’ll be fine if I rest for a while. I’ll go in first.”
Rose bowed to the Duke, greeting him, and then headed to her bedroom without looking back.
Although the Duke was disappointed that he couldn’t spend time with Rose, he was more concerned about her condition.
“Your complexion looks too pale.”
He looked at Rose, who was walking weakly, with a worried expression.
He couldn’t leave Rose like this. He commanded a passing maid.
“Brew a tea that’s good for fatigue relief and bring it to Rose’s room.”
“Yes, understood.”
The maid bowed at the Duke’s words and quickly disappeared.
Entering her room, Rose immediately lay down on the bed.
She felt depressed.
She didn’t want to do anything, to the point that she didn’t even think about the documents piled up in the study.
Rose quietly closed her eyes.
However, lying down doing nothing turned out to be poison.
Negative emotions continuously overwhelmed her.
‘I shouldn’t have come to this mansion for no reason… I shouldn’t have come from the beginning.’
She wouldn’t have experienced this pain if she hadn’t.
She wouldn’t have been so restless if she hadn’t seen the Duke’s different side.
If it weren’t for the fact that the Duke had a fiancée, she wouldn’t have been so troubled.
If she hadn’t been involved with the Duke from the start…
She flinched.
‘No, what am I thinking? If I hadn’t intervened in the Duke’s life, he might have died by now.’
Rose, who had been mumbling in the depths of her thoughts, suddenly snapped to attention.
She got up abruptly and muttered to herself.
“What am I doing like a fool?”
As Rose got up, a maid sent by the Duke happened to knock on the door and entered.
“The Duke sent a tea that is good for relieving fatigue.”
The maid set up the tea on Rose’s table and spoke politely.
“I thought the Duke was stern, but he turned out to be more gentle than I thought. I’ve seen many different sides of you since you entered the mansion, Rose.”
The maid brought up the Duke’s story deliberately because Rose seemed uneasy due to Princess Mederion’s sudden visit.
Rose mumbled in response to the maid’s words.
“Did he seem especially kind to me?”
“Well, yes. Anyone in this mansion would have felt it.”
Although the maid emphasized that Princess Mederion and the Duke didn’t have a special relationship, Rose, unaware of that, felt bitter.
For a moment, the arrogant smile of Nervan came to Rose’s mind.
‘Isn’t he involved in… a business other than the department store?’
Nervan had guessed all of Rose’s actions without permission.
‘I can’t show him more of this side.’
She didn’t want to give him any opportunity to dismiss all her actions as ‘business with a man.’
Because she couldn’t ignore all the efforts she had made.
She wouldn’t show a wavering appearance.
Rose walked confidently with her back straight.
Her steps stopped in front of the table where the Duke’s sent tea was placed.
Rose stared down at the tea he sent, then picked up the teacup and drank it in one go without leaving a single drop.
Whether it was because of her mood or not, somehow energy surged within her.
Rose, who moved to the study, began processing work at a furious pace.
With a venomous look in her eyes, she immersed herself in her work.
Rose’s anger, tainted by misunderstanding, became an energy source driving her business forward.
She spent the night completing business documents with wide-open eyes.
All preparations for the meeting were done.
Three days later, a message came from Princess Diana.
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.
