Are you afraid of death? For Jie Fu Lian, who had already come to terms with his death, the thought of being alive was scarier. Although his death was quite tragic, he still lived a fulfilling life. He had done everything that he had wanted to do and he had achieved everything that he had strived for. Even as he died, he only had a single regret. He regretted the fact that he couldn't thank Hua Tianshu, an enemy who had stood up for him till the end. His death was quite painful but he wasn't unhappy with it. However, it should have ended right there. Why the hell was he now possessing the body of a tyrannical demon king?! The heavens above were certainly playing with him and laughing at his misfortune! As if possessing the body of his enemy wasn't enough, out of all the people that he could run into, why did he have to run into Hua Tianshu?! Just when Jie Fu Lian thought his luck couldn't get any worse, Hua Tianshu just had to go and recognize him as well! "Is this what an ill-fated relationship means?" Jie Fu Lian's lips twitched. It was as if even death couldn't break the red strings that had tied the two of them together. "Why are you so nice to me?" “You wouldn’t believe me even if I told you the reason,” Hua Tianshu sighed. “You are falsely accusing me. I trust everything you tell me.” “I like you.” “I like you too, brother,” Jie Fu Lian beamed, however, this response only disappointed Hua Tianshu whose words had been misunderstood once again. “We are clearly not on the same page,” Hua Tianshu sighed as he turned around and left. Jie Fu Lian frowned as he tilted his head cluelessly. The new demon king is a thick-headed idiot who can’t even take a hint! Cover art by: Cherlyswan
Without any hesitance, Hua Tianshu firmly continued, "Except for that, I would not be telling him anything else because I do not want him to live in regret as you did. I do not wish to see him think of a 'what if'. The things in the past cannot be changed and just because you care for him does not mean you did not abandon him. It would be better for him to remain oblivious to the regrets that haunt you even after death. I will not tell him that you sacrificed yourself out of guilt for what happened 'cause if I do that, he would blame himself for your death as well and that is not something that he should have to live with."
"Shen Fang, you are a pitiful person, but you are also an asshole who abandoned his family. The lover you turned away, the child you abandoned, and the grandson you gave away, I'm sure they will never forgive you nor understand your decision and that is the cruel fate that you deserve."
