Yeonseo burst into a gentle laugh as she saw her husband, sitting on the bed, absorbed in reading a book held upside down. His expression was utterly serious, yet the book was held the wrong way.
“Honey, is the book interesting?”
Startled by her question, Ji-hyun quickly looked up.
“What did you say?”
“Is the book interesting?”
“Of course, it is. It’s written by Woo-jin.”
“So interesting that you can read it upside down?”
“Uh?”
Realizing his mistake, Ji-hyun sheepishly corrected the book’s position. Yeonseo tapped her lotion-applied face and sat next to Ji-hyun.
“Do you have something on your mind? Any trouble at work?”
“No, nothing like that.”
“You seem troubled. What is it?”
Ji-hyun put the book aside and gazed at his wife, her egg-shaped face with lively eyes smiling back at him. A comfortable smile spread across his face.
“Actually, it’s about Woo-jin’s housekeeper’s niece, remember? She’s covering for her aunt who hurt her back?”
“Yes. She’s helping out, right?”
“Yes. But I think Woo-jin likes her.”
“Really? How do you know?”
“They eat together. And drink coffee.”
“Woo-jin? Really?”
Yeonseo’s eyes widened like a surprised cat.
“Yes.”
“Wow! That sounds like true love!”
Yeonseo’s simple reaction to eating together as true love made Ji-hyun chuckle.
“So eating together is true love?”
“Have you ever seen Woo-jin eat with anyone else since the accident?”
“No.”
“That’s my point! But it’s interesting. She hasn’t been there long, right?”
“About a week.”
“And they’re close already? Is she pretty? Or, well, Woo-jin wouldn’t know. So, does she have a nice voice?”
“Yes. Her voice is low and charming.”
“Aha, that’s amazing! I’m rooting for Woo-jin’s love!”
Yeonseo clapped excitedly. Ji-hyun, trying to calm her down, held her hand gently and spoke calmly.
“Calm down, and don’t mention this to Woo-jin, okay?”
“Of course. Do you think I’m that naive?”
Naive she may be, but Yeonseo was unaware of her simplicity. Ji-hyun, a thoughtful man, was attracted to her for being his opposite. They married just two months after meeting.
Her simplicity made her quickly get along with Woo-jin, a man who usually kept to himself. She even brought him homemade side dishes.
“Now they eat together, I hope they like my side dishes. But is that your worry? That Woo-jin is in love?”
“No, not that. In two weeks, the regular housekeeper will be back, and then her niece won’t be there. I was thinking about what Woo-jin will do then…”
“Ah, but…”
Yeonseo tilted her head slightly. Ji-hyun, finding her expression adorable, lightly kissed her cheek. She blushed and asked timidly,
“Does she like Woo-jin too?”
“Huh?”
“Does she also have feelings for Woo-jin?”
“I don’t know. But they eat together.”
“That could be just because she’s the employee. It doesn’t mean she likes him.”
Hearing this, Ji-hyun remembered he had asked her to eat with Woo-jin. So, it could be just that. Quite possible.
“If it turns out to be a one-sided love from Woo-jin…”
Her eyes suddenly saddened, and Ji-hyun quickly added,
“Woo-jin isn’t sure either. It’s just my guess.”
“Woo-jin is definitely in love. They eat together, right? But about her… Should I ask her?”
“What would you ask?”
“If she likes our Woo-jin.”
“Wow! Honey, please don’t jump to conclusions. This is a delicate issue. Woo-jin isn’t an ordinary guy…”
As Ji-hyun calmed down his wife, Yeonseo momentarily looked blank before nodding her head in agreement.
Even though Woo-jin was handsome, it’s rare for a woman to easily date someone with a disability.
However, his appearance had a charm that captivated women, regardless of his disability.
As much as Yeonseo loved her husband, Ji-hyun, she couldn’t deny that next to Woo-jin, he seemed like a big squid.
“So, we need to make sure that niece keeps coming to Woo-jin’s house, huh? Hmm… then, should we invite Woo-jin’s housekeeper to our house?”
“We already have Mrs. Oh at our house.”
“Mrs. Oh was sent by Grandfather. I feel like everything in our house goes straight to Grandfather’s ears. He even scolded me for not taking my medicine.”
Two years into their marriage without news of a great-grandchild, Chairman Seol personally sent medicine to their house, showing his care.
The problem was the frequent calls to check if they were taking the medicine.
Yeonseo was scolded over a phone call for not taking it. The culprit could only be Mrs. Oh.
“Why don’t we ask the housekeeper who comes to Woo-jin’s house to come to our place?”
“But Mrs. Oh works full-time at our house, doesn’t she?”
“Then, can’t we just ask for two hours… No, it’s impossible to clean this house in two hours. Maybe four hours, and we can pay double?”
“But would that young niece continue the housekeeping job?”
“I would if I were her. It’s just two hours, after all. But what does she do? She’s not a student, right?”
Yeonseo realized she had been so focused on Woo-jin that she hadn’t asked about his niece’s occupation.
“She might be a student or unemployed.”
Ji-hyun wondered if Woo-jin even knew.
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.
