I rushed toward Kashar.
But his expression was a bit strange.
“What’s the matter?”
“Is this from you?”
Kashar showed me the letter.
It was exactly the one I had sent.
“And?”
“You might want to read it.”
Kashar chuckled and waved the letter lightly.
An ominous feeling crept in, and I hastily snatched and unfolded it.
[Kashar. Tomorrow night at eight. In front of the central garden.]It was what was left after repeatedly writing and erasing.
…It definitely looked more like a declaration of war than a letter.
Moreover.
“Ah, I didn’t write my name.”
I was so nervous, I forgot the basics.
Sneaking a glance, he placed his hand on my hip and said,
“I thought some tall guy had sent me a challenge.”
He misunderstood my letter as a declaration of hostility.
I hastily hid the letter and shouted,
“It’s not a challenge, it’s a date request!”
“A date?”
“Yes. They’re having a night festival in the capital, so…”
Caught in an unexpected situation, my words trailed off.
Despite my mistake, Kashar was smiling.
Soon after, his strong arms pulled me toward him.
“I’d rather head to bed.”
“……!”
His hot breath touched my neck. The spreading warmth dyed me red all over.
He leaned into my neck and whispered with a smirk,
“You turn red starting from your neck when you’re embarrassed.”
Boom!
I felt as if my head would explode from embarrassment.
‘That’s why I sent the letter!’
No matter how hard I struggled, I couldn’t break free.
Resigned, I blurted out,
“It’s… it’s been just 10 days since we met!”
“You said it was three years before.”
“That was a lie!”
Knowing people behave like this!
When I retorted, his eyes narrowed.
“You’re getting quite bold.”
“……!”
My boyfriend of 10 days still scared me a little.
I faltered in my words, and Kashar lightly kissed my neck.
“And that’s why I like it.”
Goosebumps rose at his touch.
Suppressing my trembling, I asked,
“……What do you mean?”
“This.”
Just as I was about to question him, his finger pressed on my forehead.
“It means I like that you don’t run away, even when you’re scared of me.”
Is it good that I don’t run away?
While I was contemplating, Kashar reached for the letter I was holding.
“Ah, my letter!”
I clung to the letter, setting a new record of humiliation.
“Give it here.”
“Are you looking for this letter? It’s a challenge.”
Ignoring the owner’s commanding voice, I handed over the letter.
Instead of snatching the letter, Kashar overlapped his hand with mine. Then, his lips touched the back of my hand.
“Anything’s fine. It’s mine, after all.”
I could almost see my nose bleed at the sight of Kashar’s narrowed eyes.
‘Nose, hold it together.’
I won’t forgive you if you bleed now.
I pressed my nose’s blood vessels while soothing my racing heart.
‘When did he become so good at making my heart race?’
No wonder I’m always caught off guard.
I wanted to gain the upper hand at least for today.
Holding the letter, I hesitated before asking him,
“Will you go if I give this to you?”
“Yes.”
“……Here you go.”
What is this?
Taking the letter back, he put it in his jacket pocket.
“Let’s go.”
His smile promised to comply.
Quickly grabbing his retreating hand, I shouted,
“That’s why, they say good things happen if you hold hands on a full moon!”
Although it felt silly to be so desperate just to hold hands as a couple.
‘I feel like I need to give some kind of reason.’
Even numerous romance novels were useless in real practice.
If blushing awkwardness is a sin, then let it be. I mumbled with a red face.
The festival grounds were not far from here.
Perhaps because of the time spent in the central garden, although it was called a midnight festival, the peak time had passed, so it wasn’t very noisy.
‘But there are still quite a few people.’
Looking around, there were plenty of food and experience booths.
Hand in hand with Kashar, I walked through the bustling streets.
One thing I realized was that it was okay to do nothing special.
“Just holding hands and walking is enough.”
The mere act of walking with him felt unfamiliar and exhilarating.
Moreover.
“……Look over there.”
“He’s handsome. He must be a nobleman, right?”
“Don’t even mention it. Can’t even hope for it… but he’s really something.”
Women enjoying the festival were stealing glances at Kashar and whispering.
‘This second male lead, he’s now my man!’
Only the brave win a handsome man.
I wanted to shout it in the middle of the festival.
‘What should I try first?’
From darts to bargaining and armwrestling, all sorts of amusements were lined up.
I was about to pass by when Kashar abruptly stopped.
“Why did you stop?”
“That one, it looks like you.”
What Kashar pointed at was a teddy bear hanging as a prize in the dart shop.
Among them, his finger was pointing at a bear with brown fur and green eyes.
“……You mean that teddy bear?”
I asked again, but Kashar only cruelly nodded.
Its fur color is exactly like my hair, and its eye color is somewhat similar, but still.
‘It looks like a cursed doll…?’
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.
