Xue Hegui and his Daoist partner lived in perfect harmony for hundreds of years, a heavenly couple envied by everyone in the cultivation world.
But when his partner underwent a tribulation, Xue Hegui was caught in the lightning strike. When he opened his eyes, he had returned to a thousand years in the past.
Spoiled by his partner, Xue Hegui can barely manage to look after himself. Instinctively, he goes looking for the young husband he has yet to meet.
He expects to find his young husband, as beautiful as jade, not yet ascended to immortality.
But why?
Why does the Demon Lord seated atop the Demon Hall, with countless demons bowing before him, look exactly like his refined and dignified Sword Master husband?
The young Demon Lord is arrogant and domineering, his body overflowing with sinister energy, nothing like the gentle immortal in Xue Hegui's memories.
Yet he still holds the brush to do Xue Hegui's eyebrows, prepares clean, neat clothes for him, and occasionally cooks. When he brings over a bowl of hot soup, even the murderous aura around him melts away.
Xue Hegui thinks that his husband is wonderful in every way. There must be a good reason he became a demon.

Sword Master Xie Xuechen was once a demon who crawled out of the Pit of Ten Thousand Demons, his hands stained with the blood and tears of countless of his own kind. He was cruel and emotionally detached.
But to win the love of the aloof beauty he fell for at first sight, he pretended to be a gentleman for hundreds of years. At last, he won his beloved and raised the cold immortal into a fragile vine that clung to his palm.
Who could have imagined that an unavoidable heavenly tribulation would fail to hurt him, yet sweep the Daoist partner he cherished away to a thousand years in the past?
A thousand years ago, he was greedy, unscrupulous, and glib, and had already caught sight of Xue Hegui amid the storms of life, falling for him at once.
If the two of them met, Xue Hegui would surely be deceived into entering the demon's lair, where the demon would seize him and stuff him full day after day.
His fears were not unfounded. When he traveled to the past, he found his aloof, immaculate partner sitting beside his younger self, familiar vulgar marks left on his body. The sight drove him mad with jealousy.
And his younger self wore a taunting smile and silently mouthed to him, "You old bastard, die."
The older man smiled, twisted and cold. As it turned out, he and his past self reached the same conclusion.
They had to make sure the other version of themselves died.
