When The Silver Bell Of Charlotte's Pharmacy Rings (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 157
They stepped out of the inner courtyard of the royal palace and finally emerged into an open space. People still chatted animatedly about the latest fashions, and young ladies adorned their large hats with feathers, flowers, and jewels, each vying to outshine the others in splendor.
“How tragic.”
Charlotte, who had scarcely glanced at them until now, suddenly spoke. Matiel turned to look back at the people they had just passed.
“Who? Those people?”
“All people—including them.”
“Tragic, you say?”
“Yes. Not pitiful. The things happening here… People assume the ground beneath their feet will last forever. But collapse comes easily. Just imagine—one day, this entire palace suddenly vanishes into a colossal abyss.”
“That won’t happen.”
Matiel flatly denied it, but Charlotte had heard of such events before. She knew it was a common occurrence in Schwatzvandelarck—the “Land of Torment.”
One moment the earth was perfectly solid, and the next, it collapsed without warning into an unfathomable depth below, swallowing up everything standing there—nature, monsters, or humans—and then, with its black eye wide open, it would glare menacingly at the sky.
“Father called it ‘the Devil’s Eye.’ He said a being—the King of Beasts—whose right arm was twisted and bore wings of spears and blades, clad in ominous robes of violet and black, would glare through that hole straight at the heavens.”
“I understand your father was a splendid monster hunter, but he might have benefited from refining his taste in fairy tales he told his young daughter.”
Despite the serious matters weighing on them, Charlotte had regained enough composure to smile.
“I kept begging him for those stories because I loved them, so as a father, he couldn’t refuse me. After hearing them, I’d be too frightened to look out the window at night. Sometimes I couldn’t sleep at all, terrified our house might suddenly fall into that hole. Since no one knew what lay beneath or how deep it went, I always thought I had to stay with Mama and Papa—and only after tightly clutching both their hands could I finally drift off.”
This time, Matiel burst out laughing. Then, as if struck by a sudden thought, he let out a soft “Ah.”
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.
