A love story hidden in the depths of despair and forsaken memories… Lai Mingjie is a hot and well-sought bachelor in the city, the sole heir of one of the country's most powerful and influential men. However, he has a secret: he used to be the most prolific demon king in history! In his plight of trying to end his suffering, he runs into the amnesiac Xu Rouguang. This man cannot remember anything else about his life... but that he loves Lai Mingjie. Who would have thought that this man is actually the demon king's wife... and executioner?! With the promises of freedom and a new life together, the two of them works on recovering whatever they can to rebuild the destiny that they have placed onto themselves—and what they have shattered all the same. How strong can they be in their crossed paths filled with pain, death, and separation… now that they are together again?

When Lai Mingjie heard that they would be opening that secret treasury that even he—the very demon it was attributed to—didn't know about, he grew very interested in it. Even if he was reaching his limit and would pretty much want to fool around with Xu Rouguang at night, he decided to follow them to where it should be.
The swim was long and tiring, but Xu Rouguang's wind was keeping pressure off of everyone so they only needed to actually swim. Lai Mingjie could just enter a semi-material form and get away with a lot of things. He followed them until they reached the blockade.
From inside, he could feel multiple things that he had never seen in a very long while. Books, weapons, and whatnots that he collected but couldn't use were all here apparently. So when he realized that Shui Ying wasn't willing to show it off to the humans, just letting them know that something was indeed there; Lai Mingjie opened it by force.
