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?!

"Big Brother isn't getting well."
Xu Anqi's voice came as she wished to save Lai Mingjie from the heartache of thinking about Xu Rouguang. Even if she wasn't allowed to speak, she had learned to be a little rebellious like her big brother. She continued as she lowered her head. "Chartreuse had been ordering a vast array of spirit herbs in an attempt to restart his divine core. Without heaven and earth energy in his divine core, he would never be able to dispel the hold of the Abyss."
Lai Mingjie turned to Xu Anqi, but his words get caught in his throat. She turned to him to bow once. "I'm sorry, milord. I had to keep things from you in order for you to be not distracted. Now that the trial is over, I am divulging the situation Chartreuse might even hide from you."
