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.

"What do you mean Scared Guardian?" Lanyan protested, but Zhenye raised his hand to her face. Before she knew it, the space to Zhenye's other side shifted; and a black portal opened. He then laid a small smile towards Lanyan before walking into it. For some reason, Lanyan reached out to catch just a hem of his jacket; but she missed as the portal closed.
She took her hand back and heaved a deep breath. Her eyes then turned to the hotel at a distance. "How dare you walk yourself to your own death, Zhenye? Talk about living your life... you should've just come with us..."
However, her head then hung low. "Could it be true? Wouldn't Nuwa be merciful enough to the true demons like us? If Emodao wasn't a real demon, then... what would happen to us?"
"It's too late to turn back now, dear."
