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?

Lai Mingjie walked along the dim hallway, only to find himself in such a plain yet elegant pavilion. Like always, a woman was tasting tea at the side, constantly peering down the lake. The weather outside the pavilion reflected the clear day that seemed to be perpetual to Heaven. The Sacred Guardian walked to her side and sat down across her.
He then moved his head to look around. "Just me?"
"I heard you're training Mingyan now. He's also showing a lot of progress. Tell me, how long do you think he would need?" Nuwa chuckled as she didn't even regard Lai Mingjie with her eyes.
"Hm, his Mommy trained for seven years and a few months. He'd probably be faring well enough after a while, around twenty years old. We can't exhaust him too much after all." Lai Mingjie knew that having Mingyan up here would bother Nuwa.
For some reason, he was keeping tabs at her emotions... in case she was secretly trying to get rid of him like how she was with Xu Rouguang before.
