“She must believe that I love her immensely now.”
“I will continue to act as a husband who sincerely loves Ramein in the future.”
Elena’s eyes, contemplating Cedric’s words that he had come to her, twisted slowly.
“Is that really true, then?”
He had said it was an act to achieve his ambition.
But the Cedric in front of her now unmistakably looked like a husband deeply in love with his wife to anyone.
The slow-darting eyes filled with suspicion gradually darkened.
Elena, as if overcoming her uneasiness, put a smile on her lips.
“Yeah. Cedric wouldn’t suddenly fall in love with someone.”
Cedric, who had never given his heart to anyone before, had coldly cut off numerous noblewomen who showed interest in him. Not only that, he had immediately rejected Cordelia, who publicly proposed to him.
“I won’t treat Ramein as coldly as other noblewomen, but that’s only because of royal orders.”
Brushing off the suspicion with a refreshed expression, she turned her gaze away from the lingering look and looked at the servant standing there.
“Why?”
“Viscount Sousa is looking for you.”
“Kilian?”
“Yes.”
Elena, who slowly raised her eyelids, smiled faintly.
“Let’s go.”
“Kilian. You came back early today.”
Elena, who opened her door wide and entered, smiled brightly.
“Yeah. The work finished earlier than I thought.”
Kilian, who was sitting on the bed, approached with a small box in his hand.
“Here. Take this.”
“Kilian. What is this?”
Elena, who received the box, opened her eyes wide.
“The necklace you wanted last time.”
“Oh! Really?”
Elena, who was about to collapse onto the bed with her eyes closed to the point of invisibility, quickly sat down.
Then she opened the box handed by Kilian.
“Oh! It’s so pretty!”
“Do you like it?”
Elena, lifting the necklace in front of her eyes, nodded her head quickly.
“Why did you prepare something like this?”
And then she stood up quickly and stood in front of the mirror.
Kilian, with a satisfied expression, watched Elena, who looked at herself in the mirror with a excited expression, with a long gaze.
“I wouldn’t say anything even if you didn’t give me something like this, Kilian. Are you doing this because you’re worried?”
For a moment, Kilian’s gentle eyes that had reached out tightened.
Elena, who pushed up her eyelids, met eyes with Kilian in the mirror.
“Elena. I’ve decided not to bring up that topic lightly.”
“Oh! Right. My bad. Sorry.”
As if seeking forgiveness, Elena shook her eyes and turned towards Cedric.
And she stepped forward, standing in front of him.
“Kilian, relax your expression.”
With a small whisper, Kilian swallowed his breath slowly.
“I didn’t do it on purpose. People don’t make such mistakes in front of others.”
Elena tilted her lips obliquely as she spoke.
“I am someone who wishes Kilian, who cherishes me like a younger sibling, to be happier than anyone else.”
“…….”
“I won’t gain anything by making Kilian uncomfortable. Don’t you think so?”
Kilian, who had been looking at her with a slightly longer gaze, finally relaxed his expression.
“Sorry. It seems like I’ve been overly sensitive.”
“No, I understand.”
Elena reached out and held Kilian’s hand.
Kilian, who had momentarily lowered his eyes, soon met eyes with Elena.
His eyes, filled with affection, sparkled purely.
“Kilian, you must be tired. Go back and rest.”
“Yeah. I’ll leave now.”
“Kilian, thanks for the gift.”
Kilian, who returned perfectly with the usual gentle expression, nodded his head.
When Elena let go of his hand, Kilian lightly smiled and walked towards the door.
Thud.
Along with the dull sound of the closing door.
Tuck.
The ruby necklace that had been in Elena’s hand bounced on the bed.
“Why would he choose something like that?”
A scornful look crossed Elena’s face as she stared at the necklace.
“Is that her taste?”
With a mocking twist of her lips, she headed towards the window.
Beyond the window, leaning against the window, she saw Ramein and Cedric returning to the mansion.
Kilian and Cedric.
The two men who had treated her more kindly than anyone else since she came to this unfamiliar place.
The moment she realized the thoughts of the duke and duchess who wanted to connect one of the two men with her, she began to weigh the options.
It didn’t take long to come to a conclusion.
Naturally, Kilian, who would receive the title of Duke, was chosen.
‘Actually, I have a woman I love.’
One day, Kilian confessed a shocking fact.
The other party was not a noblewoman but the daughter of a commoner.
‘Even if she’s not a noble, it doesn’t matter. For her happiness, I can give up everything, including the title.’
Pathetically, he was a man for whom love was more important than ambition.
At the moment she was determined to abandon Kilian, Cedric and Ramein’s marriage was decided.
A situation where she could be abandoned at any time without feeling strange.
She had to reclaim her insecure position. So.
‘Kilian. If my parents know who Kilian is meeting now, they will be shocked. And of course, they will oppose it.’
She decided to buy time.
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.
