After Feigning Amnesia, My Sworn Enemy Takes Revenge

Everyone said the Demon Lord had a green face and fangs, ate raw human flesh, and enjoyed transforming into beautiful women to bewilder mortals, then gouging out their hearts when they were off guard. People also said the Senior Sister of the Chongxiang Sword Sect, Fu Lingyi, was gentle and kind, treated others with courtesy, and greatly cared for her fellow disciple sisters. Merely passing by her felt like basking in the gentle warmth of a spring breeze. The two were like fire and water, completely opposite, absolute sworn enemies. To the death. Until that day, the Demon LordYue Jin annihilated the entire Xuanyu Sect, sparking widespread outrage. Righteous path sects united to suppress the Demonic Path. The Demonic Path was completely wiped out, and the Demon Lord vanished without a trace. However, in the forest not far from the Demonic Path’s main stronghold, Fu Lingyi found Yue Jin, who hadn’t managed to hide. Yue Jin, whose cultivation base was temporarily crippled after suffering qi deviation, bit the bullet and acted: “Who are you? Where am I?” Fu Lingyi wore a gentle smile: “Is that so? You don’t remember me?” “I’m your dao companion, my dear. Come back with me to complete our dao companion ceremony.” Yue Jin was speechless. ‘My sworn enemy’s words are too shocking! How do I even respond?’ As the largest sect, the Chongxiang Sword Sect’s Sect Leader was in prolonged secluded cultivation. The entire sect was managed solely by Senior Sister Fu Lingyi. The Demon Lord’s favorite pastime was provoking the Disciplinary Hall Sword Sect every few days. Relying on her slightly superior cultivation techniques, Yue Jin always pushed Fu Lingyi back, forcing her to lose face completely in front of all the disciples before decisively ending the fight and leaving. She relished this. That day, the disciples of the Disciplinary Hall Sword Sect watched Senior Sister leave to join the encirclement and suppression of the Demon Lord. She returned the same day, unexpectedly bringing back someone with amnesia. That person looked exactly like the Demon Lord, yet the Senior Sister announced she would form a dao companion bond with this woman. First, she subjected the woman to various humiliations, making her lie on cold ice during a heavy snow night. Then, she pretended to forget about her, not even providing food. Seeing this, everyone gradually understood. They realized she was treating the woman as a substitute for the Demon Lord, venting her past grievances. But later, the relationship subtly changed. The Senior Sister began smilingly feeding the woman and dressing her. She even went so far as to warm her bed. The woman also changed from her initial bewildered fury to becoming increasingly embarrassed and blushing, no longer daring to face the Senior Sister. Unexpectedly, one day, she simply vanished. The Senior Sister’s eyes turned red; she searched everywhere like a madwoman, without finding a single trace. Yet, a year later, she heard news of the Demon Lord reappearing.

## My Thoughts on After Feigning Amnesia, My Sworn Enemy Takes Revenge "After Feigning Amnesia, My Sworn Enemy Takes Revenge" promised a rollercoaster of drama, romance, and xianxia elements, and while it delivered on some fronts, it stumbled in others. Overall, I found it to be an enjoyable, but flawed read. ### First Impressions Initially, I was hooked by the premise of a hate-love relationship between the MC and FL. The idea of a demon king feigning amnesia only to face the "revenge" of her sworn enemy had me eager to dive in. The early chapters were definitely the strongest, drawing me into their complicated dynamic. The comedy was a major plus, softening some of the darker edges of the plot. ### What Works Well The core relationship between the MC and FL is undeniably the strongest aspect of the novel. The misunderstandings, while sometimes silly, fueled the angst and kept me invested. I particularly enjoyed the MC's character; her attempts to be intimidating juxtaposed with her inherent cuteness created a fun dynamic. The author does a decent job exploring the dynamic between the two leads, and the humor is a welcome addition. The pacing of the backstory reveals was also cleverly executed, giving small pieces of information that helps make the characters more relatable. ### Areas of Concern However, as the story progressed, some issues began to surface. The pacing became erratic, speeding up and slowing down in odd places. Some plot points felt forced, especially those involving the fortune-telling sect leader. The side characters, while interesting in concept, often felt underdeveloped and inconsequential to the main plot. The villains, in particular, lacked depth, making it difficult to feel invested in their motivations. Also, some of the backstories that were introduced later in the story felt forced and awkward. ### ⚠️ Spoiler Warning Several reviewers mentioned issues with plot contrivances and character decisions, particularly regarding the MC's memory loss being brought up late in the story and the FL's sect's questionable morality. ### Final Verdict Despite its flaws, "After Feigning Amnesia, My Sworn Enemy Takes Revenge" is a worthwhile read if you're looking for a lighthearted xianxia with a focus on romance and comedy. While the plot and side characters could use more development, the engaging dynamic between the two leads and the humor make it an enjoyable, if imperfect, experience. I'd give it a solid 3.5/5.
