Outside the luxury sedan,
Leaving Uiseok outside, the two people inside the car slowly read the documents placed in front of them.
More precisely, it was not the man, who was the party according to the contract, but the woman, who was the other party.
“Then, shall we live together?”
“It’s not easy to consider living separately as a married couple, isn’t it?”
“As for the room, surely we won’t be sharing that too?”
“If you want to, we can.”
“President-nim can continue to live as he does now, but what about me? Do I have to quit school or something?”
“For a marriage that lasts from a short six months to a long one year, we can’t ruin a future that hasn’t even started. You can continue with school as planned, but you might have to quit your part-time job. We’ll consider the school schedule for important appointments, but beyond that, it’s not feasible for us either.”
Doeum nodded.
“The marriage will be conducted privately, and there won’t be any exposure to the public. Even if it’s exposed, it’s likely to be someone we won’t encounter again, and there won’t be a case where it will be prominently featured in the newspapers unless it’s a newspaper company that wants to close its doors after just one boast.”
As Jiwan spoke, I began to realize that this wasn’t just a simple contract marriage.
Getting married to someone who could put a stop to a newspaper company with just one of my photos started to scare me.
“Again.”
“Yes?”
“Don’t you have anything else to ask?”
“I’ve checked, but my mother is currently unreachable. It would be fortunate if she didn’t come looking for me throughout the marriage, but just in case she does find out and comes…”
“Isn’t asking me to do that a bit too much? I’m asking you to consider my future to some extent, just like I’m supposed to have some responsibility for your future. A bomb for me is enough with just you.”
A bomb, huh.
As if the man didn’t already drive a wedge into the woman who was in a thoroughly disadvantageous position.
“To me, that’s like a time bomb. I don’t know when it’ll explode and sparks will fly to me. You’ll know when you get to know me, but the most imperfect moment in my life is now, this marriage with you.”
Help, who had turned into a time bomb for a moment, reluctantly nodded.
It wasn’t a wrong statement.
Even if I might be a time bomb to him, he couldn’t deny that he was a lottery that wouldn’t come twice to me.
“Again.”
“Huh?”
This time, the woman asked.
“What else should I be careful about?”
This time, it was a considerably docile attitude compared to before.
“The things specified at the bottom of the contract.”
A and B do not interfere with each other’s private lives.
External skinship is implicitly agreed upon without separate permission.
If it is a consensual relationship between adults, proceed without asking each other’s responsibility for it.
The conclusion of the contract, namely divorce, is solely at the discretion of A.
“Number 3 is a waste of paper. What’s the point of agreeing to a consensual relationship with a time bomb next to me?”
“I think it’s one of the common clauses. Because there shouldn’t be any room for doubts.”
The subsequent items that continued were futile to read.
The intentions of A, who didn’t want to leave any room for doubt, were dense.
Signing on the dotted line, Doeum stepped out of the luxury sedan.
What was handed over was just one signature, but her face looked as if she had lost everything.
“Doeumah!!”
As if they had been waiting forever, the two men who had been standing not far away came running.
Doeum, Jaehan, and Minseung, who were entering the university together, and Eunhyuk.
These fourth-year college graduates, except for sleeping hours, grew up in relatively well-off families, unlike Doeum, who struggled with part-time jobs.
To the woman who replaced them by receiving each assignment and even getting paid per piece, they were VIP-level customers.
Among them, Eunhyuk, who came from a family of generations of army officers from his grandfather to father and older brother, explored various places with Doeum.
“Where, are you hurt? Who are those people?”
Eunhyuk, who was known for his handsome looks as well as his upright personality, was surprisingly making a fuss.
“It’s okay, I’m not hurt.”
“We thought you were being kidnapped. What were you doing in that car?”
Opening his eyes cautiously, Jaehan peered into the car.
“Oh my, I can’t see anything. You didn’t do anything just because they gave you money, right?”
“Wow, I’m seeing this car in person for the first time. It’s really my first time seeing it with my own eyes, not on the screen or in pictures. They say only two of these came into the country. Wow, amazing.”
While Doeum was placed in the center, surrounded by concern and admiration, Jiwan, who was sitting in the back seat of the sedan, watched them with an indifferent gaze.
“President-nim, shall I find out about those three?”
Uiseok, sitting in the driver’s seat, had an unusual look in his eyes as he gazed out the window.
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.
