[One-on-one romance | Identity reversal | Happy ending] Complete
Thirty-two years ago, his master died a grisly death, and his senior fellow disciple, Zhao Lingyu, was accused of being the traitorous murderer. He vanished without a trace. Li Jin spent thirty-two years in seclusion. When he emerged, he was tormented by a heart demon: in the dead of night, a voice would lean over his shoulder and ask, “Are you really sure you don’t know who you love?”
To uncover the truth, he takes on disciples, pursues wanted criminals, and ventures into demon cities, inching closer to the heart of what happened all those years ago. His senior’s disciple, Shi Junheng, is always at his side, saying ambiguous things and acting in contradictory ways, until Li Jin uses a forbidden art to summon a spirit and calls forth the ghost of the real Shi Junheng, who died long ago.
Who is the person at his side?
When the truth is revealed, thirty-two years of waiting finally receive an answer. But the divide between humans and demons, a heavenly oath, and the wrongful accusation of patricide all stand between them, and there is far more in their way than either could have imagined.
“My master is dead,” he says. “Why not try loving me, Martial Uncle?”
