“It’s done.”
That unusually large hand. A hand she hadn’t paid attention to.
Now that she looked, his hand was unusually long and slender. Riley, staring at the protruding veins, was startled by the crazy thought that his hand looked especially sexy today, and quickly lowered her head.
“Why?”
Riley said, trying hard to look away from his hand.
“It’s nothing. Let’s go quickly, we’ll be late.”
(This is a time separator.)
As soon as they arrived at the reception venue ‘Ingsignia,’ they were greeted by Ryan and his wife, who had arrived first, and a heavily dolledup Claire.
Alton, the father of Livne and Gibnen, had not arrived yet, so the seats where they were to sit were empty.
“You look pretty, Riley.”
Ryan greeted her warmly. Riley stared at him for a moment and then timidly nodded, turning away from him.
‘…Disgusting.’
She thought she would be immune due to having dinner, but today her rejection of Ryan was strong.
It’s because this was a prewedding meeting. If her father were alive, she would be sitting here holding her father’s hand with joy. But today her parents were Ryan and the Marchioness.
For a lifetime, she had to call the people who had never allowed her to call them father and mother by those titles. The sight of them smiling softly looked like parents sending off a beloved daughter to marriage, which made her even more furious.
Suddenly, she missed her father.
If she had come here holding her father’s hand, it would have been a truly happy day.
Is there some magic to summon a dead person? She wanted to see her father, even if it meant doing that.
“I’ll go to the restroom for a moment.”
“Hurry back, our inlaws will be arriving soon.”
Inlaws? It was funny how they were fussing even though the marriage was not yet finalized.
She hoped this meeting would end well, but on the other hand, she was curious about the expression on their faces if it went wrong. Her heart ached, but wouldn’t it feel refreshing?
As she was washing her hands, Claire came in.
Seeing Claire’s reflection in the mirror, Riley thought she had come to pick a fight again. However, she was somehow smiling.
“Are you nervous?”
“……”
“It’s a place where anyone would be nervous. Don’t be too nervous; it will go well.”
What’s going on with her? Did she get food poisoning from yesterday’s meal?
Was she behaving so fiercely just yesterday?
“What do you think? Will this prewedding meeting end well?”
“……I don’t know.”
“I think this meeting will fail.”
Spouting evil jokes with such an innocent smile.
So that’s how it is. It’s not unexpected at all.
Riley brushed the moisture off her hand as if there was nothing new about it.
“Anyone would think you’re the star of today’s meeting, not me.”
“……What?”
“Why did you dress so nicely if the atmosphere of the doomed meeting will be like a funeral anyway? There’s no one here who would see you well.”
At Riley’s pointed remark, Claire’s face turned red. Riley then looked her up and down with a smile.
“Why? Did you put in effort and dress up to catch the eyes of other men flaunting Ingxignia?”
“……What?”
“You said it. For a woman, it’s the best thing to marry a good man. So I tried to say that.”
“Yeah…… right. Look at you. You enjoy all sorts of luxuries by meeting one good man, don’t you? Can’t I do the same?”
“What’s stopping you? You can, but…… will you catch the eyes of the people here with just that?”
“……What?”
“You might look a bit, or perhaps very, oldfashioned.”
At Riley’s attack, Claire shouted in anger.
“You had a professional designer take care of you from head to toe!”
“Yes, who said otherwise? A professional designer took care of me from head to toe. Have I ever denied that? I simply said that your dress looks oldfashioned.”
“……You unlucky X.”
“You’re unluckier for throwing cold water even on a day like today.”
“Ha, I never knew you’d be such a harsh and illmannered X!”
“Right, I’m surprised too. I should have realized sooner that the you I was so afraid of is actually such a stupid child.”
“I’ll ruin this meeting somehow! Got it?”
Riley washed her hands leisurely, whether Claire screamed in anger or not, and then said calmly.
“Go ahead.”
“……”
“Can you handle it?”
At Riley’s composed attitude, Claire clicked her tongue and then spat out a chuckle.
“You’re really becoming like that unlucky brat. They say you resemble each other when you’re in love, but you’ve only taken on the bad points!”
“That unlucky brat you’re talking about is my husband?”
“Yeah, he’s really trash with a different inside and outside.”
“……Are you any different, being trash both inside and outside?”
“Hey!”
Riley immediately moved away and returned to the dining room where the meeting was to be held.
She thought Claire would follow her loudly, but perhaps because of the place, Claire followed her quietly and sat down. Of course, her face was still flushed red.
How long had they been waiting?
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.
