“Marry that bloodthirsty fiend in my sister's place? Fine, I'll do it.”
Everyone thinks Shen Ci is a worthless pushover who can be manipulated at will.
And he does act docile as a cat, always lowering his eyes and meekly accepting whatever comes his way.
The Demon Emperor, Li Hanxiao, sneers, “You're nothing but a prop.”
Shen Ci lowers his gaze. “Yes.”
But no one sees the cold smile hidden beneath his downcast lashes, a smile belonging to a mighty cultivator who reached the Tribulation stage ten thousand years ago.
His seal weakens, and his memories return.
He schemes in secret, advancing one careful step at a time.
Disguised as a woman, he fools the entire Demon Realm.
Until the Demon Emperor discovers that the way he secretly looks when he becomes a man at night is eerily like that of his old nemesis from ten thousand years ago.
Until Shen Ci reveals his identity to save him.
Until he dies in his arms.
The Demon Emperor goes mad.
“Didn't you say you wouldn't die?!” he cries, clutching the cold corpse, his voice hoarse.
“You lied to me... You've been lying to me all along...”
But Shen Ci doesn't know that he wasn't the only one who fell ten thousand years ago.
And he wasn't the only one who fell in love with him back then.
