The Runaway Female Lead Doesn't Run Away (13 Chapters Left to Complete) - Chapter 32
Early morning.
Dahlia roused her sluggish body and rubbed her eyes as she gazed out the window.
Perhaps it was because of her pregnancy—today, more than ever, she struggled to shake off sleep, dozing off repeatedly even while sitting up.
She slapped her cheeks lightly, roused by the chirping of birds beyond the window.
“This isn’t the time for this. I shouldn’t be just sleeping in bed right now!”
Now that she’d received confirmation of her pregnancy, how she spent each day from here on would determine the next eight years of her future.
Shaking her head rapidly to fully awaken, Dahlia suddenly realized she hadn’t spoken with the Duke recently.
“Come to think of it, I haven’t even seen the male lead face-to-face lately, let alone had a conversation.”
The last time they met was probably a few days ago, when she’d found that cat—when she’d received the Duke’s frosty stare in the first-floor lobby.
“This doesn’t bode well…”
Back when Clayton had pulled her into the midst of the party, she’d been confident that charming the male lead wouldn’t be a problem—but now, that memory felt as distant as a past life, and Dahlia let out an involuntary sigh.
“Maybe I should just casually suggest having a meal together first.”
It’d be a good opportunity to apologize for the cat incident during the meal.
After all, it was commonly said that people were most unguarded during mealtimes.
In fact, wasn’t it typical for newly introduced men and women to get to know each other better in the relaxed atmosphere of sharing a meal?

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.
