How Is Being Kept by My Archrival Not Revenge?

The once-terrifying King of Urban Legends has lost all his memories, been reborn as an ordinary person, and been taken home as a pet by his sworn enemy, the very person who once killed him?

No problem! As long as he keeps his identity hidden, revenge is only a matter of time, right?

But after watching his sworn enemy cut down every urban legend for miles around with a single knife, Ye Xi starts to feel that...

Revenge... Well, about that thing called principles, you can be flexible.

Look, being kept at home by his sworn enemy and stealing her rice every day definitely counts as revenge, doesn't it?

Doing all the chores and giving her shoulder rubs and back massages is just to let her guard down. Of course that counts as part of the revenge plan, too.

Heh heh heh, meals are the easiest time to slip something into her food. Revenge is within reach!

Later, when her identity is exposed, Ye Xi grabs Bai Ling's hand as she reaches for her knife, gazes at her tenderly, and drops to her knees in an instant.

"I was wrong to let you stab me back then. One night as wives is worth a hundred nights of kindness. We've lived together for so long, and I've never thought of getting revenge. You wouldn't want to stab me to death again, would you, hmm?"

Bai Ling: "...We'll see how you behave. Get on your knees on the bed and wait for me."

That night, after getting stabbed all over again, Ye Xi grabs Bai Ling's fingers once more and protests indignantly.

"Wait, you never said you'd stab me with something other than a knife!"

With things having come to this, Ye Xi can only force herself to believe... As long as she ends up on top, it counts as a successful revenge!
