Peter usually brushed it off, but in retrospect, it was curious. Count Hessen, usually so strict, was always subdued by Peter.
[‘Father must have known Peter’s identity.’]Count Hessen was a provincial noble, but not entirely disconnected from the royal court. Considering the time Peter spent in Count Hessen’s domain, it seems unlikely that the Count was completely unaware of Peter’s identity.
[‘Then why did Father rebel against the royal family?’]Little is known about the downfall of the Hessen family. Count Hessen rebelled against the former emperor, who retaliated by burning down the Hessen mansion. Beyond that, information was so thoroughly concealed that even Operetta couldn’t find it.
After confirming the lack of detailed information, Lowell stopped wondering why the mansion was burned.
[‘What’s important isn’t why it burned.’] “It’s not about why it burned.”It’s only about the fact that Hessen Mansion and everything inside it burned down. Nothing else mattered. The reasons for revenge don’t need to be specific. Digging into them only brings emotional turmoil. What’s the point in understanding the perpetrator’s circumstances deeply?
But at this moment, Lowell questioned for the first time.
“Peter spent a significant time close to Hessen, and Father knew who Peter was.”
But why did Count Hessen have to oppose the royal family after Peter left?
What happened that led to such a situation? Did Hessen really plot treason?
“Does Peter… know the truth behind this?”
Lowell plucked a petal from a rose beside her. The rose, preserved by magic, was still a vivid red without a single wilted spot. Staring at the red on her fingertip, it almost seemed as if blood was welling up from it.
The color of the conflagration. And the color of death.
“What was Peter thinking when he created this garden?”
Living in a garden covered in red, Lowell had come to detest the color.
Living in Operetta means encountering slaughter too frequently. Lowell, who grew up in a world unafraid of darkness, now couldn’t sleep in a completely dark room. The child who grew up without knowing even a small threat until fifteen, now knew how to be wary of homicide. The girl became a woman, and time changed much.
But in this garden, a return to the past, Lowell had thoughts beyond revenge for the first time.
The glass greenhouse, once evidence of Count Hessen’s immense love for his youngest daughter, now seemed to prove Peter’s affection for Lowell.
The petal from her fingertips drifted to the ground. Watching it, Lowell was seized by a strange emotion.
It felt like returning to the life of “Lowell Hessen,” a life she thought was gone and no longer existed.
It felt like this place was telling her she wasn’t the only survivor of that life.
That she had more than just this wretched life left, that there were still people who remembered her…
“…”
Lowell was confused. Without realizing it, she reached for the petal that had fallen to the ground.
But at that moment.
“……!”
The heavy sound of stone grinding together echoed again. The door was opening.
Realizing this, a wave of tension swept over Lowell.
There was only one person who could open a garden closed by royal decree.
‘Peter!’
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.
