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?

Xu Rouguang hurriedly ran off the pantry when he saw the grandfather come. He actually thought that Lai Mingjie would follow him out so he didn't bother checking. Who would have known that Lai Mingjie would just stay on his seat and even chugged down the drink in his hand?
Lai Mingjie felt complicated. He wasn't around when Yu Shenqi last looked for him; even if he was around during the funeral, he couldn't bring to show himself to anyone. Perhaps only Lai Mingyan knew that he was around; he had purposely hidden himself from Xu Rouguang anyway.
Everyone actually thought that he missed Yu Shenqi's funeral, but he didn't. He was just scared to show his face to his father.
Xu Rouguang was already outside when he realized Lai Mingjie didn't follow suit. At first, he thought it was strange, but the way Lai Mingjie only continued to drink—fuller cups just now—made him feel like he shouldn't leave Lai Mingjie alone. He was about to go back, but Sovereign Aqua already called out.
