The Monster Knight Wants Maternity Leave (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 57
The Imperial Palace’s Audience Chamber.
The Emperor looked down at Ferendel’s envoy, who bowed respectfully.
Her fresh, spring-green hair and modest dress seemed too plain for a princess.
Beautiful and dignified, resembling the noble grace of an elf, she was Lilif Ferendel, the second princess of Ferendel.
“Ho ho, I didn’t expect you to arrive so soon. Please raise your head.”
The Emperor was actually feeling a bit awkward.
The reason was that, although the princess had reached marriageable age, she had requested an annulment—leaving him unable to avoid a sense of guilt in her presence.
Logically, her request was entirely justified, yet the Emperor couldn’t bring himself to be so cold-hearted.
Moreover, as the Empire’s former fiancée, she was among the wealthiest of the wealthy, having been promised vast estates.
Indeed, now that she had even transferred ownership of the Empire’s diamond mines into her own name, suitors surely lined up by the dozens.
Yet her counterpart was the notoriously reclusive Emperor.
In his eyes, his own son was naturally the finest and most outstanding man—making him feel even more guilty for having cost her such a match.
And that pale complexion, coupled with that dreary-colored dress—as if someone had just died.
‘She must be feeling down… Or perhaps she deliberately sent this image on purpose.’
“Your Majesty, the Kingdom regards this matter with utmost gravity. Believing it best to spend as much time together as possible, I took the liberty of rushing here despite the impropriety.”

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.
