When Pride Falls at Your Feet (19 Chapters Left to Complete) - Chapter 57
A scandal capable of shaking society had erupted. Newspapers were plastered with detailed coverage of Enrico Michele and Princess Vivian Carnet’s date. Their daytime meeting had been public, their faces never without smiles—their attire, the dishes they ordered, everything was reported in articles.
Even today, ten days after that incident, the story was still making headlines. Emilia set down the newspaper beside her with a look of utter weariness.
It had been quite some time since she’d visited his mansion for rehearsals. He hadn’t come to her home either, so naturally, they hadn’t seen each other in a while. When she’d first seen that article, her mind had simply gone blank for a moment.
‘He’s doing it again today too.’
She couldn’t understand why she felt this way. Was she astonished that he’d gone ahead and dated a princess—whom he’d claimed he’d never even met—just to prove a point? Especially after outright lying to her, as if he’d never get engaged.
‘Yeah, it must be that ridiculous lie making me feel this way.’
If he truly gained a fiancée, their current contractual relationship would undoubtedly become uncertain. The fear that he might break their agreement was clearly making her chest tight.
Emilia took a deep breath and exhaled slowly, gazing out the window at the opera house drawing ever closer. She no longer had the luxury to dwell on such things.
After all, today marked the opening night of the ballet *La Sylphide*. It was her first performance in a major role—she needed to focus solely on the stage, regardless of whether he got engaged or not.
‘My only job here is to dance.’
Even if he did get engaged, she’d just continue receiving information as per their contract. The image of Enrico walking away, hand in hand with another woman, flashed through her mind. Emilia stubbornly fixed her gaze on the theater, her expression hardening slightly. The cool early-morning air slipped through the gap in the window.
Opening night was always the most chaotic day of all. As she received her makeup, Emilia kept mentally rehearsing the stage in her head.
Thanks to her promotion to a principal role, she’d moved from the group dressing room to a shared one for only two dancers, allowing her to train her focus in quiet.
She’d been vividly replaying every movement she’d practiced countless times when a knock gently pulled her from her thoughts, and she slowly opened her eyes.
“Emilia, you got a flower delivery.”
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.
