The ancient Demon Lord Ye Jiuli is imprisoned in an iron cage, his spiritual power sealed. He suffers torture day after day, unable to live or die, all at the hands of Di Xianghe, the Divine Shaman he once loved and trusted with all his heart.
After taking revenge, he kills the Divine Shaman with his own hands. But the Divine Shaman is reborn through the Immortality Tree, loses all his memories, and becomes the Demon Lord's prisoner.
Claiming revenge as his reason, Ye Jiuli torments him in every way. But when the truth comes to light, he falls apart:
The betrayal from long ago was a plot, and the one who controlled it all. The warmth they once shared was a genuine love that had been erased.
The amnesiac Divine Shaman has no idea what happened in the past. The vengeful Demon Lord is torn between love and hate. A thousand years of grudges come to an end when the dream finally breaks, and both love and hate become prisons.
