Unable To Escape (10 Chapters Left to Complete) - Chapter 57
Sometimes, when confronted with fear beyond one’s comprehension, a person becomes so paralyzed they cannot even scream.
Alicia was in exactly such a situation right now.
The face of the ‘person’ standing with the moonlight at their back was cast in deep shadow, making it impossible to discern their features clearly—but their eyes, glowing an unnaturally vivid yellow, were scanning the inside of the carriage, precisely fixed on Alicia.
Though clearly shaped like human eyes, the gaze itself was grotesque, utterly inhuman.
Overwhelmed by an instinctive revulsion coursing through her entire body, Alicia couldn’t even breathe as she watched those eyes examine her up and down while smiling.
Yes—that ‘thing’ was smiling.
Everything except those yellow eyes was steeped in darkness, so normally Alicia shouldn’t have been able to see its smile—but her mind recognized it before her eyes did.
Was it a mistake to have deliberately turned off all the lights inside the carriage just to admire the night sky?
Surely there must be knights guarding outside the carriage—why hadn’t they stopped that ‘thing’ from approaching?
Was that ‘thing’… even human?
Time seemed to freeze, and Alicia couldn’t even exhale—until the moment it turned its back to the carriage, when a scream finally burst from her lips.
“Kyaaah!”
The instant those yellow eyes—previously fixed on her—vanished, it was as if time resumed flowing, and Alicia began trembling uncontrollably as she screamed.
The knights escorting the carriage were the first to react to that scream.
Startled by the sudden shriek, they rushed toward the carriage and saw Alicia through the window, crouched on the floor with her hands clutching her head.
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.

Why did they leave Alicia alone in the carriage? 🤔 A maid or knight was supposed to stay by her side.
This kindness will make Alicia hold on to Killian tightly. No matter how hard she tries to get away from him, in the end she comes back to him.
Alicia really changed after she went back in time. Although her love for Kylian remains the same, her character and wisdom have changed.
