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?

It didn't take long before foreign lights began roaring in the distance. Xu Rouguang looked up to see them and how they even dared to pierce through the barrier of the Cloud Fortress. Bang! Bang! Bang! He only held onto the suddenly distracted Xu Longshan. From the protection of the Witnesses, the attack appeared to be only pretty lights in the distance.
Xu Longshan's eyes glittered as he thought those were just harmless things. "Master, look! What are those?!"
"They're petite fireflies." The former general hid his sneer and only stroked at the boy's head. He had already sent a message to Lai Mingjie about the matter. As long as the enemies continue to be out of tricks against their beyond-superior defense array, the former general wouldn't even have to deal with anything.
"Fireflies?" Xu Longshan grew more in awe as if he watched the collection of lights volleying towards them and the wave of faint lilac rippling through the sunset sky.
