Danwoo’s driven car, following the navigation guide instead of heading to Seoul, stopped in front of a building in the city.
Lowering the window and glancing outside, Jian looked at Danwoo with a puzzled expression.
With one hand on the steering wheel and his body turned to the side, Danwoo asked with a somewhat stern face.
“When was the last time you had a proper meal? You were like this last night, and this morning you’re neither eating nor avoiding it.”
“I did that? … I must have eaten.”
Only now did Jian reflect on the past few days, during which her life fell apart without a plan.
Eating or sleeping, there was little difference. She would cry until exhausted, fall asleep, dream, wake up, and cry again. Eventually, she would sit quietly until the day dawned.
“You look like you’re about to collapse right now. Take some vitamins and get down for a moment to move.”
Danwoo explained the reason he parked the car, awakening Jian’s conscience.
“So, this place is a hospital, right?”
“It’s a hospital. I asked Aunt and made a reservation.”
Danwoo got out of the car first and opened the passenger seat door.
Pushing Jian’s upper body deep into the passenger seat, he unclipped her seatbelt, turned his head, and then gave Jian a short kiss on her wide-open eyes.
“Will you listen to what I say?”
“I made a reservation.”
Reluctantly getting out of the car, Jian felt dizzy, and everything became pitch black. At that moment, she thought Danwoo’s words were undoubtedly correct.
After finishing a simple consultation with a doctor in the family medicine department of a hospital that occupied an entire floor, Jian lay in a hospital bed, looking at the IV needle in her arm.
She had lived cautiously, avoiding even minor mistakes that people around her might worry about.
‘Our Jian can do everything well.’ She wanted to deny her mother Eunji’s words, who claimed to know nothing when she heard them.
Yet, with unauthorized leave of absence, not even realizing her phone was off.
She didn’t want people to see her with contempt. However, for the past few days, she had completely forgotten about such gazes.
In reality, she was worried about whether she could return to normal daily life in her current state.
At that moment, Danwoo finished a phone call and entered the hospital room. He sat down on the chair beside the bed and carefully opened his mouth.
“From now on, if you can respond that you’ll do whatever I say, that would be great.”
Jian chuckled softly at this strange situation.
“For now, I’ll listen.”
“Take a few days off with me. See something good and eat something delicious while we’re at it.”
His shallow consideration was to stay with Jian since he had to take her home when they went to Seoul.
And if Jian continued to wake up and cry like the night before, they might need a different solution.
Danwoo smiled as if he was asking her to listen closely.
Jian nodded obediently, although her commitment to return to normal life seemed futile.
The thought of entering the empty house alone weighed heavily on her mind. It was the first time Jian felt frightened to be alone.
⭐⭐⭐
When Danwoo started the car, Jian looked at the navigation. The destination was a hanok hotel in Incheon.
Jian looked out the window, resting her head against the window frame, observing the scenery.
Her consciousness often sank quietly, independent of her will. In those moments, she would think of Jaeyoon, regret it, and her emotions would crumble momentarily. Having Danwoo nearby made it somewhat more bearable.
Danwoo’s car stopped in the hotel parking lot as the navigation guidance ended.
As Jian raised her hand to unfasten the seatbelt to get out, Danwoo’s hand unfolded, and his forehead bumped against hers.
Danwoo smiled and gently placed his hand on Jian’s nape.
Just as he was about to kiss her briefly and step back, he pressed his lips again, engaging in a slightly deeper kiss. Seduced by the permeating breath, he lingered a bit longer on Jian’s lips.
Even though they were in the car, it was a bright day.
Surprised, Jian closed her eyes, thinking she’d be okay due to the dark window tint.
“I shouldn’t be greedy for these lips, leaving someone who has been suffering emotionally.”
Danwoo, who had become apologetic after indulging in his desire, regretted his actions.
Jian, with her eyes slightly narrowed, raised her lips and smiled. To consider it his desire might be true, but she, too, had been momentarily captivated by the kiss.
Unable to deny the comfort of Danwoo’s warmth, she caressed his cheek with her hand.
“If you didn’t like it, I would have pushed you away first. Then you would have willingly stepped back.”
“Maybe not.”
Danwoo smiled affectionately, honestly expressing his feelings, and unfastened her seatbelt.
As Jian looked with fascination at the hanok hotel gracefully nestled between the city buildings, they entered the lobby.
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.
