The man’s soft voice, as if walking in a dream, seemed to whisper that this wasn’t reality, like a kiss that melted the whole body.
Vision blurred, unsure whether from medication or the rising buzz from the wine.
Suddenly coming to her senses after the unexpected physical contact, Eun Jae blinked several times and bowed her head, attempting to shake off her sudden tipsiness.
The tilted head and faintly smiling man came back into Eun Jae’s clear view.
He’s finally bringing up that hidden matter. The heat crept up to the edge of her chest as if she were reliving that day’s events.
“Was it me who started it?”
“Or was it me who started?”
Could it be me, who didn’t even take a sip of alcohol? Eun Jae’s eyes trembled at the sight of the man, who laughed as if it was absurd.
“I was really not in my senses at that time—”
“You ate because you weren’t in your senses?”
“No, why do you keep saying I ate… Why phrase it that way?”
“Do you find that more unpleasant? Did you mix me up with someone else?”
As she was about to ask what he meant by “mixed up,” her lips were tightly sealed by the man who abruptly closed the distance again. He looked down at Eun Jae and spoke.
“Was a hug not enough, or was your acting poor?”
His gaze moved steadily towards the front door.
“Yoon Tae Kyu still seems to doubt our relationship.”
“The person who came in earlier, was that Tae Kyu…?”
“Or how about we get caught right now.”
If everything falls apart like this, would I be able to keep you by my side for 10 or 20 years, using the unattainable hospital as an excuse?
“I’d be fine with that.”
As Sun Woo thought about it, he smiled. At this point, it wasn’t a desire for possession but an obsession.
Staring distantly at the man who spoke incomprehensibly and smiled thinly, Eun Jae thought.
Why?
Didn’t you say you didn’t want to get caught? That you wanted it all? Wasn’t that why you forced this marriage?
The more she thought about it, the more questions the man’s words and actions raised.
He had given her more than she could ever repay—paying off her lifetime debt, granting her freedom, even providing the opportunity for her mother to receive the best medical care without worrying about the hospital bills.
Even though he said that me agreeing to this marriage had repaid his kindness, it felt like nothing compared to what I’ve received from him.
That’s why I want to give you something you desperately want too.
I really want to do that for you.
“There won’t be any slip-ups.”
So that you don’t lose anything because of it.
“I want to do it properly too.”
Even if it’s not the ending I want.
“It’s not fake, it’s real.”
Eun Jae stretched out her hand and gently touched the man’s lips. The recent bruise had completely healed.
“You’re all better now.”
Slowly blinking his eyes, the man didn’t answer, but Eun Jae’s hands moved to his shirt collar. Standing up, she overlaid her lips onto his.
1 second. 2 seconds. 3 seconds.
After painfully counting what felt like 5 minutes in those 5 seconds, Eun Jae slowly separated her lips. She hid her flushed face and asked the man,
“Was that enough…?”
“Hard to say, is that all you got?”
It seemed like he was questioning whether the kiss was too light, contrary to his jovial question about his lips being healed.
I had gathered so much courage, considering whether to break off after 3 seconds or add 2 more.
The man seemed to enjoy the sight of himself flustered.
“So how do you…”
“If you’re sure about it.”
Eun Jae looked down at her lips, not her eyes, and smiled lightly.
“Then I should try harder, shouldn’t I?”
It seemed like his desire could be read from his gaze. His eyes glowed a bright red, like a vampire who had a delicious prey of blood before him.
Swallowing dryly, Eun Jae hesitated for a moment and then slowly approached Sun Woo again.
Recalling how the man had deeply tasted her lips just before, she sucked his lower lip in the same way and let go.
An unexpectedly hot sound brushed past Eun Jae’s ear. The frank sound that echoed in the quiet space made the tips of her ears hot.
It was a sound she’d heard somewhere.
Yes, it was last summer. It was exactly the sound that was made when she had eaten a ripe plum. When bitten, the juice overflowed, resembling the man’s fervent lips with the sweet and sour plum.
“Like…this?”
“No, I don’t like it.”
As the man spoke, their lips, which were at a nearly touching distance, lightly grazed each other.
“Are you done?”
At the man’s somewhat cynical question, Eun Jae once again swallowed dryly.
“What…what is it?”
“Is it my turn?”
For a long while, a tingling sound of breath went back and forth between the slightly parted lips.
The rising heat enveloped her body in an instant. Standing was getting increasingly difficult. The view was blurry and her body slackened. The wine she drank seemed to be affecting her.
Even so, just one glass of wine…
“Right now, a little…”
She felt dizzy.
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.
