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?

Even though Lai Mingjie was just out for one afternoon, he felt like he just went through a long week. With Xu Rouguang's situation not getting any better in a short time, he started feeling like a storm was coming. Just like what all the immortals knew, the pillar of heaven was done. He had not yet fallen, but everyone knew someone would never let this opportunity pass without spilling blood.
He arrived at their unit after buying snacks for the two of them. Auntie Qiu kept on reminding him to eat chocolates for a little boost in both energy and mood. Lai Mingjie didn't have to go to JT for a month so no one could point out how haggard he had become.
Lai Mingjie opened the door and closed it behind him. He tossed his shoes in the foyer before walking towards their room. The door opened, and Lai Mingjie's eyes glittered as Xu Rouguang was only seated on his bed, checking his phone.
