However, he has a secret: he used to be the most prolific demon king in history! In his plight of trying to end his suffering, he runs into the amnesiac Xu Rouguang. 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?

A ghost?
"Rou'er... what happened?" Sovereign Cosmos then mellowed his scowl. Traces of spirit flames? Wasn't Emodao the only capable of producing spirit flames from his golden light? For someone else to be able to summon forth such attack...
Moreover, Xu Rouguang called the assailant a ghost. Whoever that was should have been someone that had died to them. Then again, Sovereign Cosmos didn't know what exactly conspired that night. His son should at least tell him.
Xu Rouguang only bitterly smiled at his father and raised his left hand. They could all see the silver ring that started glowing...
"My meridians are too damaged to even summon the Death's Finger."
Most people around almost had their eyes bulging in shock. Even if Yu Shenqi, Lai Julong, and Song Yi'er didn't know what that meant; they could surely notice that Xu Rouguang was actually even too weak to move around. They could see it in the darkness of his eyes and paleness of his complexion.
