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?

"Heh, then why is my mouth still vacant, hm?" Lai Mingjie grinned at the second secretary, but he quickly came back to checking all the documents he had to attend to. He was gone for so long that all the work exclusive to him was piled up in his office. He would fool around with Xu Rouguang all day, but he still needed to shave off a considerable amount of his work first.
Xu Rouguang was no longer that easy to trick and tease. He only went close to Lai Mingjie and affectionately ruffled his tousled hair. He then walked past him to collect the coffee cup left at the side.
Both of them have work to do. He could just save the good things for later.
It was four-thirty, and Xu Rouguang was collecting documents from the offices in the Finance floors. He was walking with a huge pile of folders, but he looked like he was just carrying one book in both hands. He was even smiling and spreading his heaven and earth energy to lighten every stressed person in their department.
