It was the moment when she was walking towards the ward, humming a tune. A smile bloomed on Eun Jae’s face as she recognized a familiar figure in front of the ward.
Who could look so good from the back?
Recognizing Sun Woo from the figure in the white gown, Eun Jae took a step towards him, proud of herself for recognizing him. Then it happened.
“What’s this?”
There was someone in front of Sun Woo, hidden from her view. She had been so happy to see him that she hadn’t noticed the woman standing in front of him until now.
Who was it again?
Eun Jae, who took a step back and leaned against the wall, peeked out.
The woman standing in front of the man seemed cheerful. She was laughing, as if they were sharing an amusing story. Feeling like she made eye contact with the woman, she hid back behind the wall.
Ah, she remembered.
It was Doctor Jo Hye Ji, her mother’s primary physician and a college classmate of her mentor.
The sight of the two standing together in front of the ward lingered in her vision for quite a while. She let out a sigh involuntarily.
Were they still there?
After stalling for a while behind the wall, Eun Jae peeked out again to look at her mother’s ward. Fortunately, there was no sign of the two.
Hiding back behind the wall, Eun Jae pursed her lips.
“Why am I hiding?”
It’s not like she did something wrong.
She didn’t want to create a situation where the man might be uncomfortable. After all, they were in a contractual relationship, and she thought she should respect certain boundaries, so she hid.
Of course, it didn’t go as she wanted. Even hiding behind the wall, the image of the two kept lingering in her mind. Since her contractual relationship contained personal feelings, she was bothered by every move he made.
The desire to cross the line and the mind to respect it conflicted with each other, creating confusion.
She was about to step forward with a complicated face, captured by various thoughts.
“What are you doing here?”
“Ah, you startled me.”
Unprepared for Sun Woo standing right in front of her, Eun Jae froze in surprise.
“Why, are you here?”
The professor’s office is on the other side, isn’t it?
Sun Woo, looking at her, silently smiled and motioned over the lunchbox bag he was holding.
“Give it to me.”
When their hands overlapped, the flustered Eun Jae let go of the bag. The man, looking at her as if he found her adorable, whispered quietly.
“Eun Jae, you’ve been waiting.”
Whether it suited her taste or not, Mi Ran’s chopsticks, who had been unable to eat anything, moved frantically from side to side.
Seeing Mi Ran like that, Eun Jae felt the reward for her early morning rush.
“Did you make this, Eun Jae?”
“Yes. How is it, is it good? When I went to visit the teacher’s house the last time….”
As the word ‘teacher’ came out of Eun Jae’s mouth, Mi Ran narrowed her eyes and glared at Eun Jae.
‘I get it… Stop staring at me like that.’
Receiving Mi Ran’s harsh gaze, Eun Jae lowered her head and pretended to lose, changing the honorific as Mi Ran wanted.
“……It’s a recipe I got from Sun Woo’s house.”
Seeing this, Sun Woo chuckled and looked at Eun Jae. Eun Jae frowned and sent a warning glance to Sun Woo, as if telling him not to laugh.
Sun Woo gently looked at Eun Jae and his eyebrows twitched as if understanding. The smile on his lips was as dazzling as the spring sunshine.
As she was quietly looking at him, a strand of his disheveled hair caught her eye again.
She had momentarily forgotten, but her gaze had been continuously drawn to it.
I wanted to touch it too, I wanted to neatly comb it.
As if she had made up her mind, her hand wouldn’t easily reach out. She kept clenching and unclenching her hand that couldn’t get a hold of anything.
She remembered again the image of the woman reaching her hand out without hesitation over the man’s head. Just thinking about that scene was painful, so Eun Jae closed her eyes tightly.
The two of them who were together matched better than she thought, so unknowingly, she was jealous.
A task that was so difficult for her seemed so easy for that woman.
Because all her nerves were focused on the man’s hair, she couldn’t taste any of the food that went into her mouth.
In that way, cruelly, the allotted time kept passing. Lunch time was coming to an end.
Not sure if Sun Woo felt Eun Jae’s gaze, he put down the chopsticks he was holding and asked.
“What’s up? Is there something you want to say?”
“Huh? No. There’s nothing.”
Stammering as if her inner thoughts had been discovered, the man chuckled without making a sound.
“There is. You kept staring at my face.”
Right, why was a person who’s usually so neat, today had such a messy hair……
Ah, whatever.
“Don’t you look in the mirror?”
“What mirror.”
“Your hair. There’s a strand sticking out.”
Eun Jae demonstrated by pulling up a strand of her own hair.
Such a simple thing. After talking about it, it felt like her indigestion was subsiding. Her heart felt much lighter. Now there would be no need to look at his hair if it was neat.
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.
