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 and Xu Rouguang stayed awake in their home until midnight. Both of them were waiting for the reports to flood in from the immortals that would be rounding the entire city. Bloodvein Café was still the refuge of most demons, but some of them only learned to stay in as soon as the darkness crept into the city. Unlike that fated night, no one was caught loitering the streets. The morning news didn't report any brutal murders as well.
It wouldn't be too much of a stretch to say that having General Xu lead the challenge to the demons' claim to rise up made them lose their will. With the deathless general personally waging war against those who would use the drug, the peddlers knew better than sell the next day. Subsequently, no one managed to have stocks ready. Even if it pleased Lai Mingjie, he was still aware of the growing grievances of the demonkind.
