[Two male leads + cultivation + amnesia + a regretful pursuit + shou protagonist + 1v1]
Everyone said Shen Mengge was shameless, that he'd climbed into his own master's bed to improve his cultivation and forced him to become his Dao companion.
The whole world misunderstood him.
Even Shen Mengge believed it himself. His heart heavy with guilt, he obeyed his master in every way, determined to make it up to him.
Only when the sacrificial formation lit up did he finally awaken from the dream.
All that tenderness, from beginning to end, had been nothing but a lie. He was nothing more than a sacrifice his master intended to offer up.
After his body died and his soul was scattered,
his master finally saw the truth and repented. Carrying a spirit-gathering lamp, he searched all three realms for every trace of Shen Mengge's soul, keeping vigil beneath Mount Shuhan year after year.
No one expected Shen Mengge to awaken again with all his memories gone.
The master who had once caused his death held him tightly in his arms, his voice trembling. "Mengge, I'm your Dao companion. Come back with me. I'll spend the rest of my life making it up to you."
The Demon Venerable wrapped his arms around Shen Mengge's waist from behind, his smile radiant. "Mengmeng, don't listen to him. Come with me to the Demon Realm. I'll take you to see every mountain and river in the three realms."
Only Xie Yunyuan gazed at him pitifully. "Mengge, you were always a free bird. The choice is yours."
Shen Mengge flung away everyone's hands, whip in hand, and strode off without looking back.
"I'm not going with any of you. I'm going to roam the world and champion justice!"
Xie Yunyuan hurried after him. "Take me with you! I'm useful!"
