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?

Lai Mingjie nodded at the satisfied faces of the sentinels. He actually wanted to apologize as well before, but he couldn't find the words. Thanks to Wenrou, he now knew what exactly they wanted to hear. However, trusting Nuwa was indeed a gamble he didn't regret making.
Another person actually cautiously walked inside the place as if arriving late to the party. Then again, Lai Mingjie didn't have to apologize to her, so she didn't miss a lot. It's just that she trembled when she realized that Emodao was already in the room.
Her round eyes glittered upon seeing the rather familiar face of the demon king. It was his face when they invaded Red Lotus Garden, and it was the only time that Emodao had shown his human form. As if she had terribly missed the demon king, her vision had tunneled and only saw him despite the others.
