The Runaway Female Lead Doesn't Run Away (13 Chapters Left to Complete) - Chapter 57
The room they arrived at, guided by the butler, was smaller than the one at Seyear Mansion, yet comfortably old-fashioned and cozy enough for two people to share.
Since sharing a room no longer made them uncomfortable, the two naturally began preparing for bed as soon as they entered.
Dahlia, seated at the dressing table, glanced sideways at the man reflected in the mirror as she took off her earrings.
She recalled how Clayton had just called a child lovely.
‘Judging by his reaction earlier, he doesn’t seem to dislike children…’
Of course, she hadn’t exactly pressured him for an answer, but he wasn’t the type to say things just to be polite.
Thinking back to when he’d called the child pretty, it really didn’t seem like he disliked children.
It was more that he didn’t know how to interact with them—probably because he’d grown up alone since childhood.
‘At least he doesn’t dislike children, so it shouldn’t be hard for him to bond with them later.’
Just a few days ago, she’d been obsessing only over how to seduce the male lead, but now she finally felt relaxed enough to think a little further ahead.
Still, she couldn’t let her guard down—not until Clayton started pouring out heartfelt declarations of love.
Thus, Dahlia began pondering ways to get closer to Clayton.
‘It’d be perfect if something plausible happened before we reach the villa.’
As she wondered what might work, Gretel’s words suddenly came to mind.
‘Tomorrow evening, there’s a Falling Blossoms Festival by the river. If you’re not too busy, perhaps you and the Duke could enjoy the festivities before leaving?’

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.
