After My Secret Was Exposed, I Became the Male Lead's White Moonlight in Both Lifetimes

In an age of peace, there are no demons to catch.

Everyone in the Demon-Sealing Bureau, from top to bottom, was coasting through their days. Recently, though, they had no choice but to get to work.

The Prime Minister’s son, born with extraordinary talent and stunning looks, was a man of noble standing.

For some inexplicable reason, he chose not to live the carefree life of a young nobleman, insisting instead on working at their shabby little bureau. He handled everything personally and exhausted himself with worry.

Anyone who didn’t know better would think he planned to make his fortune by catching demons.

“Rich young masters get excited about something new, then lose interest and slack off. Give him a hand, but don’t let him ruin everyone’s time slacking around, got it?”

The prefect, who was devoted to doing as little as possible, thought for a long while before giving this instruction to the laziest constable in the bureau.

The constable bowed and answered, her loosely gathered black hair tilting to one side and revealing a stretch of pale neck.

When she raised her face, she was smiling, bright light dancing in her eyes with the radiance unique to a young woman.

Xia Li crawled out of the mass grave, and her first move was to conceal her identity and infiltrate the Demon-Sealing Bureau.

She had to find out who had set her up. Anyone who dared scheme against the master of her secret organization, whether human, ghost, demon, or monster, would die.

Accustomed to serving as a high-ranking official, she had come to work at the grassroots level for once. Only then did she realize that beneath the lantern-lit streets, the prosperous imperial capital had never been peaceful.

To avoid revealing her secret identity, she needed a partner to help her with her work.

Looking around the entire Demon-Sealing Bureau, the newly appointed Prime Minister’s son, Xiao Jingxi, was the only suitable choice.

Noble status: powerful, useful for getting things done.

Simple-minded: naive, easy to fool.

Good looks: easy on the eyes, easy to trick.

Xia Li was very pleased with him, except for one thing that seemed off.

With every passing day, the young master’s pure gaze grew a little deeper.

His youthful innocence faded at astonishing speed, as if his soul were aging several times faster, and a calm, inscrutable spirit had appeared beneath the boyish exterior.

She recognized the cinnabar mark at the corner of his eye as a seal.

The day it vanished would be the day his memories returned and his past life was restored.

After recovering from an illness in childhood, Xiao Jingxi began to see some hazy images in his mind.

Vague and indistinct, their features blurred, everything was like flowers seen through mist.

He could make out only one pair of extraordinary eyes

Bright and dazzling, able to steal all the light in the world; gentle and tender, with countless galaxies reflected within them; cold and aloof, like ice on a snow-covered mountain that had not melted in a thousand years...

From then on, he had a secret he could never tell anyone: he was deeply infatuated with a pair of eyes.

After countless days and nights of searching, when the past had been washed clean like sand and stone, he lowered his eyes and spoke softly to the young woman before him:

“I’ve been searching for someone since my past life.”

“Who are you looking for?”

“A little liar who lies through her teeth. She hid her identity, played me for a fool all my life, and even stole something from me without returning it before she died.”

“What did she steal?”

“A lifetime of devotion, two lifetimes of love, and a heart that can only be given, never taken back.”
