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.

The young lord didn't mind as the octopus wasn't that heavy. He was a bit smaller than the rest, but that was because Zhenye found it hard to move around if he was too big. Shrinking into a human size was good for his mobility. That being said, he would somewhat shrink smaller from time to time to fit himself on Xu Rouguang's lap. Mucus or slime, the young lord didn't mind.
As for Xu Rouguang, he was too immersed in what he was reading. This was about the old Heaven and their days when the demons first sprouted. It was also around the time the Human Divinity Army was first created. Among the most prominent names was that of General Lan… who subsequently retired to this small yet prosperous Gold Horn City. Xu Rouguang then murmured, "Didn't Emodao say he was from Gold Horn City?"
