Back to When the Demon Lord Was Begging

★ Watching his wife grow up, with a little arranged-marriage-to-love mixed in. ★

When Chu Nanzhen opened his eyes, he was already a beggar in the city.

He was a handsome, carefree young man. Though he never had enough to eat or wear, his life was still pretty good: free and easy.

Then one day, he failed to get any alms. On his way home, he happened upon an immortal whose bearing was as clear and bright as the moon. Chu Nanzhen had barely glanced at him when the immortal knocked him unconscious without a word, tied him up, and carried him away.

When Chu Nanzhen opened his eyes again, the immortal was standing before him. He was dressed in wedding robes, being forced to marry the immortal.

Chu Nanzhen: ???

Above cultivators were gods, and above the gods there once stood a nation called Huachao.

A few years ago, the crown prince of Huachao, Chu Nanzhen, was a once-in-a-generation talent. One stroke of his sword stunned the world, and the myriad races came to pay homage.

A few years later, Huachao was destroyed by a single person. The world changed overnight. Chu Nanzhen lost all his memories and ended up among the common folk, where he became a beggar.

Zhi Shiyi, once the state preceptor of Huachao, was handsome and graceful, with the bearing of a celestial being. He had watched Chu Nanzhen grow up, and they later became close friends.

After Huachao fell, he searched everywhere for Chu Nanzhen.

He saw the boy who had once been spirited and stood above countless others, now filthy and in rags, holding a broken bowl and smiling obsequiously as he begged ordinary people for a bite to eat.

Suppressing the darkness roiling in his eyes, he kept a gentle smile on his face. A thousand thoughts became a single sentence on his lips: "Tie him up and bring him back. We're getting married."

At first, Chu Nanzhen thought he must have been in debt in a past life. Otherwise, why would he be stuck with the lunatic Zhi Shiyi?

He was just a beggar. Who had he ever offended?

Later, he discovered that he really was in debt.

...A debt of romance.
