Se-kyung’s hand on Madam Marquis’s thigh tightened. Even after receiving the gift, Madam Marquis showed no change in expression.
“Oh, this is the style Mother likes.”
Yeryeong said with a bright smile, and Madam Marquis glanced at her. It was evident that the eldest daughter-in-law was clearly leaning toward Yun Se-kyung.
“Thank you for the gift. But don’t buy these things in the future.”
Was the chosen gift not to her liking? Sitting on pins and needles, Se-kyung felt uncomfortable. If Madam Marquis ended up disliking even the smallest things, she wondered how it would be.
“Se-kyung, are you still tense? Am I scary?”
“No, it’s just that I’m worried about making a mistake…”
“You’ve made a mistake a long time ago.”
Madam Marquis calmly spoke and took a sip of tea. Putting down the teacup, she stared at Se-kyung like a meticulous interviewer.
“Do you plan to marry Taeho?”
“Yes.”
“Before, you rejected Taeho’s proposal for marriage.”
“At first, I wasn’t sure if Mr. Taeho… no, Taeho really liked me. At that time, I rejected because I thought he proposed to take responsibility for the child.”
“But now you think differently?”
In response to Madam Marquis’s question, Se-kyung looked at Taeho.
“Yes. Now, Mr. Taeho is confident that he shares the same feelings with me.”
Se-kyung answered confidently. However, Madam Marquis, still maintaining a firm posture, continued to observe Se-kyung as if not swayed by her words.
A heavy silence lingered for a while. Se-kyung, nervously biting her dry lips, waited for Madam Marquis’s words.
Finally, she let out a small sigh and spoke.
“To be honest, I was very disappointed when I saw the news this time. I understand that Ms. Se-kyung wanted to hide the fact of her pregnancy due to her profession. As someone who has experienced running a business, I understand it a hundred times, but…”
“…”
“As parents, the disappointment is even greater. It’s not great that Taeho is receiving attention as Se-kyung’s marriage partner due to this incident.”
“I’m sorry.”
Se-kyung lowered her head deeply. Tears welled up in her eyes as Madam Marquis seemed to regard her unfavorably.
“Are you upset because of what I said?”
“No. Watching people speak recklessly about Mr. Taeho and the child made me upset and angry.”
“That’s a parent’s heart. But what if I don’t approve of your marriage? That guy says he’s old enough to get my permission.”
Madam Marquis glanced at Taeho as if displeased.
“Then, will you keep coming to seek approval continuously?”
“What? Starting now?”
When Se-kyung asked with a bewildered face, Madam Marquis nodded.
“Yes. Spit out something like a resolution or willingness that can turn my heart to accept Ms. Yun Se-kyung into our family.”
“Oh, that’s…”
The sudden task halted Se-kyung’s thinking. No lines that she found clever from the drama scripts came to mind.
All that swirled in her dizzy mind were old-fashioned and cliché phrases.
“I, I will…”
Though she opened her mouth, cold sweat ran down her spine.
What if she couldn’t change Madam Marquis’s mind here? Should she keep coming back, begging for permission to marry Taeho?
Se-kyung glanced at Madam Marquis. Her face turned as pale as a rabbit facing a tiger.
Having finally opened her mouth, Se-kyung spoke whatever came to her mind.
“I-I will make Mr. Taeho happy. So, please give Adnim to me!”
Pfft!
A sound, like something spurting out, echoed in the presence of the men. Se-kyung blushed with embarrassment, trembling.
“…”
She lifted her head, facing forward.
Yeryeong was covering her mouth with both hands, laughing excitedly, while Madam Marquis let out a faint laughter, as if Se-kyung’s words sounded absurd.
‘That girl is really cute.’
She was a type not seen around Madam Marquis.
I wonder if Taeho fell for that.
Without saying anything more, she turned to her son, who was laughing in such a state.
“Okay, that fellow is yours now, Se-kyung.”
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.
