When the divine weapon "Redflame" reappeared in the world, Ming Tu and the others set out for the East Sea to search for it. Along the way, Ming Tu was knocked into the sea by a strange man. There, he happened upon a man of breathtaking beauty, Yu Ci, hidden inside a deep-sea ice crystal coffin. The coffin held no divine weapon at all. After rescuing him, Ming Tu began dreaming of a past life with Yu Ci. The person from those dreams was none other than himself: the tyrannical Demon Lord from thousands of years ago, whose relationship and past with the merfolk Yu Ci were tangled beyond disentanglement.
When memories buried a thousand years ago return, and the Demon Lord's revived personality completely takes over, will Yu Ci, whose memories have also fully awakened with the passage of time, still choose to forgive him and rekindle their relationship?
As the events of a thousand years ago resurface again and again in his mind, he remembers being deceived, imprisoned, abused, and having his entire clan slaughtered. After enduring an inhuman captivity and coercion, even the couple's own child was used as an ingredient in an elixir of immortality to save the Demon Lord's beloved, the one he held in his heart as his one true love...
Faced with these vivid memories of such cruelty, will Yu Ci, tormented in body and mind, choose to forgive the lover he had in his past life?
Secondary couple: Chi Mo x Bai Chen:
Chi Mo was once a little snake spirit who had cultivated for a hundred years. After immortals wiped out his family, his life hung by a thread until a Daoist rescued him. They lived together day and night, and the gentle, refined Daoist took him as a disciple. Innocent and trusting, Chi Mo came to depend on and grow close to Bai Chen, who was as pure as a breeze and bright as the moon.
But as the truth gradually drew near, their relationship fell apart. Chi Mo accidentally learned that the master he loved was one of the immortals responsible for killing his parents, and all the beautiful memories of the past began to crumble.
Chi Mo decided he would have his revenge. He would make that gentle man shed his hypocritical mask and force those self-righteous Daoists to bow before him. So he destroyed the immortal clan and slaughtered the Daoists, thinking only of making that man regret deceiving him, of making him taste the pain of losing his beloved and his family. With his hands stained red with blood and his blade piercing the other's chest, he realized in shock that he had killed the master who had once been his refuge and was now his mortal enemy.
Now that everything has begun again and the people from the past have forgotten their former lives, Bai Chen, will you still deceive me?
