A love story hidden in the depths of despair and forsaken memories… Lai Mingjie is a hot and well-sought bachelor in the city, the sole heir of one of the country's most powerful and influential men. 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?

"You're celebrating too early."
The Abyss heard the same voice but laced with a terrifying feeling. She felt like her heart suddenly stopped as her eyes moved to the side. Before she knew it, Emodao's arm morphed into its demon form and grabbed her face. If it was the only thing, she wouldn't even bother; however, she grew awfully terrified of those writings on his skin... and of course, the blood ring.
Her entire body rampaged at its cellular level that she lost control of her power. The black goo broke apart, and even her connection to Dunzhao weakened severely. When Dunzhao came to, his body ached so bad like he was going to burst apart. It was akin to having a qi deviation, but he wasn't dying as soon as his energy went haywire.
Xu Rouguang suffered from the same pain, but he kept his eyes and concentration on the scene before him.
