She mounted the palanquin, and as the palace drew near, she became restless, her hands starting to sweat.
Trapped in a separate building and enduring Chun-young’s abuse, she was awkward in dealing with people. Especially when encountering strangers, her heart raced with fear and anxiety.
Now, she was entering the palace to meet none other than the Crown Prince. Already, she felt as if her whole body was freezing.
Although Eom Sang-gung reassured her not to worry, in reality, she was anxious and fearful. When she arrived at the Crown Prince’s residence, her face turned pale with tension.
For her, who had difficulty even standing in front of people, facing the Crown Prince, the most prominent figure in the palace, was no easy task. The words Eom Sang-gung told her last night were now a distant memory, and her mind was blank. Her hands, hidden within the court dress, trembled.
Her vulnerable state seemed to be noticed by the Crown Prince, and his voice calling her was filled with concern.
“Dear, there’s no need to be so tense. Don’t worry and sit comfortably.”
“…Yes, Crown Prince Mama.”
“Don’t call me that. Even our Crown Prince always calls this mother Crown Prince Mama, it’s not a trivial matter.”
The Crown Prince casually sat down and glanced at his son before turning his gaze directly to her.
“Well, can you endure living in Unyeon Palace?”
“Yes, Crown Prince Mama.”
“Thank goodness. Now that I see you two sitting together, I can finally relax. Even though I told you to hold a wedding ceremony, you didn’t listen until the Crown Prince wanted to meet you.”
The Crown Prince’s eyes, looking at her, were infinitely affectionate and warm. Could one be so affectionate when knowing who has captured the Crown Prince’s heart and what kind of existence she is?
Glancing at the Crown Prince beside her, she softly bit her lip. Unlike her, who seemed uncomfortable sitting on the thorny cushion, the Crown Prince’s expression remained unchanged. He only looked at the tea cup in front of him with an indifferent face.
“Dear, want to hear an interesting story?”
After taking a sip of tea, the Crown Prince put down the cup and subtly examined the Crown Prince’s complexion.
The corner of the Crown Prince’s mouth went up, and laughter lingered in his voice.
“In 23 years, the Crown Prince has never once asked this mother for anything or been greedy. Such a child comes to me, kneels down, and begs. Do you know what that is?”
“Crown Prince Mama!”
The Crown Prince, who had been silent until now, suddenly raised his voice. Startled, Eun-seol unknowingly turned her head to look at his face.
Whether he was angry or not, the Crown Prince’s face was flushed.
“You always act indifferent, why do you only call me Crown Prince Mama at times like this?”
“If you keep doing that, I might stand up.”
“Now, even such threats don’t scare me. If you want to go, go alone. This mother will just play with the little one.” Ignoring the absurd Crown Prince, Dae-bi called her.
“Dear, if the Crown Prince ever hurts you, come to me anytime. Don’t boil it up alone. If you’re in pain, say it, and if there’s something you don’t like, speak up. Even then, come to me. I’ll be on your side.”
Dae-bi’s sincere eyes gently comforted Eun-seol.
Dae-bi’s affectionate words provided considerable solace to her deflated heart.
Is this the joy and pride of having someone on your side? Somehow, it felt overwhelming.
“Dear, wait a moment… Joo Sang-gung, bring the prepared items and give them to Sae-a.”
Joo Sang-gung, who was standing nearby, brought a wrapped box and handed it to her.
“I hope you like what I prepared for Sae-a. It’s a gift to thank you for coming to our Crown Prince. Please take good care of her in the future.”
“Oh my… Thank you very much.”
“Why are you so formal? I’ve been curious about what kind of person you are. Now that I see you, you seem worthy of the Crown Prince’s affection.”
She was so happy with Dae-bi’s excessive kindness that tears welled up in her eyes.
The warmth she felt for the first time in her life momentarily made her forget the wounds she had suffered so far.
Therefore, she didn’t express explicitly that the Crown Prince’s heart belonged to someone else.
After a while, the quiet Crown Prince spoke.
“Lady, please excuse us for a moment. I’ll talk with Dae-bi Mama and leave.”
Perhaps because he was in front of Dae-bi, the Crown Prince’s tone was remarkably gentle.
After bidding farewell to Dae-bi and leaving first, Eun-seol waited near the Dae-bi’s residence.
When her tense heart began to settle down, someone called her.
Turning around at the familiar voice, she saw Hee-gyeom walking toward her.
Dressed in court attire, he looked quite different from usual.
“Teacher. What brings you here?”
“Well, this is where I work. Looks like you came to Dae-bi’s residence.”
“…Yes.”
“But why are you alone? Where is the Crown Prince going?”
“The Crown Prince is having a private conversation with Dae-bi Mama. By the way, Teacher, you seem different today.”
“Let’s believe it’s a compliment.”
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.
