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?!

Darkness had eaten everything, and inside the cave voided of light, muffled crying echoed faintly along its walls. It was painful, and he never wanted to feel so much pain after everything he had been through. If he had the chance to not bleed out, he might remain calm in this situation.
Xu Rouguang's eyes only had burnt skin, and his tears stung his entire face... or what was left of it. He couldn't move; he couldn't resist. His senses were locked by the restrictions in the cave; even if it was free, no one else but Xu Jiguang could catch it.
Within the darkness, various nightmares sprung inside Xu Rouguang's head. He didn't want to die... he didn't want to die alone.
...
"General Xu! General Xu!" Violent shaking came to his body, and Xu Rouguang was forced awake. The jolt in his heart started to dissipate, and the tears in his eyes gradually slowed down. He found himself in his room in the Imperial Army barracks and his body in Severed Glacier's hold.
