Evening was falling in Italy.
Yu Jeong Hwa was waiting for a call in a suite in a Milan hotel.
Ring, ring.
“Yes, speak,” she said.
Listening silently to the phone, Jeong Hwa looked almost like a wax figure. She was infuriated by the report that Tae Seo Jun’s mansion in Malaga remained untraceable.
Without a word, she hung up, slowly closed her eyes, then opened them, and bitterly swallowed her coffee as if it were medicine.
Even after splitting with him, none of the many men she dated could satisfy her as Seo Jun did. With his alluring visuals and perfection even in bed, no one compared. This made him even more unforgettable. Despite his perfection, she had thought him lacking in wealth.
Realizing too late that this was the biggest mistake of her life, Jeong Hwa resented Seo Jun for deceiving her all this time.
Her father’s constant debt complaints weren’t just for show.
Living like a top star, keeping journalists who knew about her promiscuous life silent, required money. But the money she had was just a drop in the ocean compared to what she had lost to her father’s blackmail, worse than a devil.
Jeong Hwa’s finances were now as dry as a parched field due to the extreme measures she took against Yu Byeong Hwan, partly for revenge.
But even that had been only partially successful.
Now what should she do? Some are born with a silver or golden spoon, but she felt like less than a twig floating in muddy water. Was her misery due to choosing the wrong parents?
While lamenting her fate, an astonishing revelation about Seo Jun’s true nature left her trembling. Fleeing the Elstell Hotel, she hurried to the airport and boarded a flight to Europe.
She had been invited to the Milan Collection long ago but had no intention of attending. With the threat of debt collectors looming, she couldn’t just sit idly at a fashion show. However, having found hope in despair, Jeong Hwa already felt like a chaebol daughter-in-law.
Being in Italy made it easier to move to Spain as soon as she discovered Seo Jun’s whereabouts. That’s why she rushed to Europe.
Arriving in Milan yesterday, she spent a significant amount of money to find Seo Jun quickly. It might be late, but it felt like a last wink from fate.
But now they say he can’t be found?
Why can’t they find such a noticeable man?
“Why! He’s a man who stands out wherever he goes, so why!”
Unable to locate Tae Seo Jun’s whereabouts made it impossible for her to confront him, whether by clinging to his legs or lying down in front of him, begging.
Frustrated but unable to sit idly by, Yu Jeong Hwa abruptly stood up from her seat.
Crash!
Simultaneously, the coffee cup in her hand fell to the floor.
“Unni!”
Startled, her manager, who was checking the schedule beside her, quickly stood up. But Jeong Hwa, ignoring everything around her, was determined.
“I need to step out for a bit.”
“Where are you going at this late hour?”
“Just need some air. You go to bed first.”
Leaving the room with her coat and sunglasses on, Jeong Hwa made a call by the elevator.
“Can you meet me at the Sky Lounge? Let’s have a drink.”
[Dash] “I was free anyway, perfect timing.”“I’ll be there first, take your time.”
[Dash] “How can I keep the top actress waiting? I’ll be there soon.”Today was the day of the Milan Collection.
The man Jeong Hwa was calling was Jo In Ha, who had just been on the finale stage of the fashion show.
After blow-drying her long hair and tying it neatly back, and adorning her earlobes with pearl earrings, Eom So Yeon stood up from her chair. She slipped out of her shower gown into a fitting miniskirt and a white blouse, and put on high heels, which she seldom wore.
Though just walking out the door was all that was left, So Yeon paced back and forth between the bed and the tea table before suddenly looking at her reflection in the mirror.
Her eyes, tense with excitement and fear, mirrored her heart. Her lightly made-up face radiated an unfamiliar vitality. She felt different today, almost as if she wasn’t herself.
She had decided that tonight she must confess who the father of her child is, no matter what.
And she was going to show Tae Seo Jun the love she’d been too scared to reveal until now, embracing the chance to love him without reserve.
The fact that she was actually going to do this felt both unbelievable and unimaginable.
Ready for the Sunset Carnival, Tae Seo Jun, reclining leisurely on an antique sofa with his long legs stretched out, alternated his gaze between the table clock and the door.
His casual posture seemed relaxed, but his heart was fluttering with anticipation as he waited for So Yeon to come from her room.
Tick-tock, the second hand of the clock moved, and so did his dark eyes, growing increasingly restless.
Had Tae Seo Jun ever waited for someone so anxiously? Or wanted someone so badly? Both were foreign to him, but today he couldn’t help it.
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.
