“Take good care of our Yeo-un. Thank you, Ji-oh. Seeing you grow up like this makes me proud and happy.”
“I’m even more grateful, Mother, no, Mother-in-law.”
“What? Hoho. This rascal.”
Yeong-seon laughed cheerfully. Seol Ji-oh smirked as he looked at Yeo-un.
Yeo-un felt something subtly strange and licked her lips.
It was strange to see Yeong-seon, who had just given permission for their marriage, now asking Seol Ji-oh to take care of Yeo-un. Really, am I going to marry him?
Beside her, Yeong-seon spoke as if in a good mood.
“Well, actually, I was a bit worried.”
“What about?”
“Both of you are celebrities. It really looks like you’re living together. Just when I was worried about what to do if rumors spread, our Ji-oh, no, our son-in-law! Says he wants to get married?”
“Was the timing right, Mother-in-law?”
“Then. Hoho.”
Yeo-un smiled as she looked at the two people who seemed to get along quite well.
Seol Ji-oh, why does it sound so natural when Mother-in-law talks?
“Still, be careful. You know… People these days tend to overspeed, but since you’re both celebrities…”
“Oh, Mom!”
“Yeah, okay. You guys will take care of it yourselves, right?”
Yeong-seon suddenly turned around and looked at Lucky, who had been sitting quietly behind her, as if feeling a bit uncomfortable.
“Oh my, so pretty. How can he be so white and beautiful? Huh?”
Yeong-seon gently stroked Lucky’s smooth fur with both hands. The quiet Lucky responded to the touch by wagging its tail.
Yeong-seon smiled like she found it cute, and while sweeping Lucky’s fur, the soft white hairs fell into her hands.
Yeong-seon, confused, mumbled.
“Oh my, what is this fur… what is this?”
“Pfft.”
Yeo-un laughed and handed her a pet hair removal cleaner that she always kept on hand because of Lucky’s fur.
“If you touch him like that, the fur will come off, Mom.”
“Oh, right. It’s pretty though…”
Yeong-seon moved away from Lucky a bit and sat down.
“Oh, right. Should we invite Jun-i here after the conference?”
“Jun-i too? Jun-i… wouldn’t he be tired?”
Yeo-un said, glancing at Seol Ji-oh.
Suddenly, if her mother and Jun-i showed up, she was worried it might be hard for Seol Ji-oh.
It wasn’t a planned meeting.
However, Seol Ji-oh seemed fine, smiling.
“I’m curious how Jun-i has grown up. The last time I saw him, he was an elementary school student.”
“The little guy is now a doctor. Hard to believe, huh?”
“Yeah, really hard to believe. Well… both Yeo-un and I are twenty-eight now.”
“That’s right. Time flies. How is Ji-oh’s mother doing?”
“Oh, she’s in the United States.”
“Ji-oh’s mother was always busy, and she seems to be still busy.”
When Yeong-seon talked about his mother, Yeo-un felt uneasy and changed the subject.
“Mom, shouldn’t we go now?”
“Jun-i probably finished his conference. After it’s over, we planned to go somewhere nice for dinner.”
“Yeah, call him quickly!”
“If Ji-oh and Uni come to have dinner together?”
When Yeong-seon asked, Yeo-un immediately opposed.
“Mom, it will be chaotic if Ji-oh comes. I’m a bit tired today too… Let’s have our meal some other time.”
“Really?”
Yeong-seon looked disappointed. Then Seol Ji-oh, who was sitting next to her, intervened.
“I’ll make a reservation for a nice place next time. When you come to Seoul, let’s eat together.”
“Okay.”
Yeong-seon smiled and left Yeo-un’s house. The two of them walked into the house after escorting Yeong-seon to the elevator.
Why am I so tired when I haven’t done much?
“Ji-oh, sorry.”
“What for?”
“Because my mother suddenly showed up. I didn’t know because she didn’t contact me.”
Seol Ji-oh, lying next to her, turned toward Yeo-un and said.
“Still, we got permission for our marriage.”
Yeo-un felt awkward and strangely uncomfortable at the mention of marriage.
That’s right, I’m getting married.
“Are you really going to marry me? When?”
Seol Ji-oh hesitated for a moment and replied, “Actually, I want to do it quickly. I want to go anywhere comfortably with you. When do you want to do it?”
“Me?”
Yeo-un pondered for a moment. Maybe after finishing the drama I’m currently filming?
But she wondered if she could do another project once her relationship with Seol Ji-oh was revealed and they got married. If she couldn’t act, it would be a bit sad…
“Why? What’s the hesitation?”
“Oh, after getting married… I’m worried that I might not get cast for anything afterward.”
Seol Ji-oh seemed to think for a moment before giving an answer.
“I’ll set up a production company. I’ll make sure you can do any project you want.”
“What?”
Yeo-un laughed as if she couldn’t believe it, but Seol Ji-oh seemed sincere.
“I have a good eye for projects. I make all the investment decisions at the company.”
“Yes, yes. Director Seol.”
Yeo-un playfully matched his tone, and Seol Ji-oh smirked and laughed.
“I’m serious. So, you don’t need to worry about that. I’ll make sure you can do any acting you want.”
“Okay.”
Yeo-un smiled. She knew his words were sincere, and he would do anything for her.
Suddenly curious, she asked him, “Aren’t you worried about that? After marriage, your popularity might decline.”
“Not really. Becoming an actor wasn’t because of popularity.”
“Then why did you become an actor?”
“Hmm… I wanted to make money and become independent, and I wanted to become famous to find you.”
“What?”
Yeo-un’s eyes widened. The reason he wanted to become an actor included her.
Just how much influence did she have on his life?
It was both surprising and a bit apologetic for Yeo-un.
“But as I acted, I found it enjoyable. Being recognized by people is good too. Maybe it’s because I didn’t receive much attention from my mother when I was young.”
“Oh…”
It hurt Yeo-un to hear him talk so casually about not receiving love when he was young. How significant must be the wounds from not receiving love in childhood.
Yeo-un suddenly remembered the possessiveness, jealousy, and efforts to show only the good side that Seol Ji-oh unknowingly revealed.
Even if you don’t do that, I already love you and will continue to love you…
She reached out and hugged him. Seol Ji-oh, caught off guard by the sudden embrace, lifted his eyebrows but embraced her back as if enjoying the pleasant feeling.
“It feels good to be hugged like this.”
“Really? Then I’ll hug you often.”
Yeo-un stroked his hair. Holding him made her feel good too—a comfortable and secure feeling.
Yeo-un hoped he wouldn’t feel lonely anymore. She would be there for him whenever he needed her.
Jun-i showed up around 9 PM. Yeo-un was surprised to hear the doorbell ring when there was no one expected.
When she looked at the intercom, Jun-i had a blank expression, one hand casually resting against the wall, giving off a somewhat threatening vibe.
What… why did he come without contacting me?
While Yeo-un was flustered, Yeo-juni banged on the door.
“Sis, open the door right now!”
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.
