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?

Defeated...
Lai Mingjie didn't like being defeated, yes; but why would he trust the dragons to guard his back? Yes, he's grateful to Chartreuse to an extent, but he wouldn't put his life in her hands. He just sighed and looked out the glass wall. "If you want me to rely on you, you have to prove yourself. Rou is inside Nuwa's core. If you get him out of there, I'll work with you."
Chartreuse's eyes flashed with a strange gleam as she heard... what she wanted to hear. She only curled her lips and remained silent.
The demon king noticed the strange smile on her lips when he spoke. If anything, shouldn't she be surprised or appalled at least? Being in Nuwa's core was a very scary experience. Then again, she's from the divine race; she might have a different opinion about it. Should he listen to her further?
