[A captivating beauty who likes to tease × a composed, dependable, fatherly great demon]
[Reunion after years apart, rekindled love, mutual salvation]
If you had a button that could bring back the person you loved most, would you press it?
Perhaps the questions we need to consider are these:
Can someone who suffered through a terminal illness and died come back healthy? (Jiao Wan & Jiao Lin)
Can someone who lived to a ripe old age and died peacefully return in their youth? (Tang Lin & Jiao Wan)
Can a heinous criminal return as a kind person, with no memory of their past? (Mingshe & Huashe)
Is the so-called Butterfly of Resentment art, which can bring the dead back to life and restore flesh to bones, a blessing from heaven, or a trial that tests you again and again?
Ruo Ziheng is an acting divine envoy, a mighty and awe-inspiring "Lord Envoy" in the eyes of others. In truth, he is the last Zhailang in the world, burdened with a bad name and despised by all from beginning to end.
Zhailang and resentment are mortal enemies, locked in a battle to the death.
As a divine envoy, it is his duty to protect the world and ensure humans and demons can coexist. Given a mission in a time of crisis, Ruo Ziheng must find the magical artifact left behind by his predecessor, the Tufu Purifying Bell, which can suppress resentment. He does it for his own sake, and for the sake of the world.
But who could have known that the artifact's spirit had taken human form and stayed by Tang Li's side for years, concealing its aura and posing as an ordinary person, even a "mute"?
Two years ago, Huashe appeared and slaughtered countless people to bring back an old friend.
Tang Li and her companions fell victim to its schemes. At the critical moment, Ruo Ziheng abandoned his chance to reach out and help her, turning instead to hunt down the vicious great demon wreaking havoc across the world, in order to punish it.
The day they reunited.
"Tang Li, it's only been a little over two years. Have you really forgotten me completely?"
"I don't understand, Lord Envoy. Why would you care so much about me?"
Later, the artifact's spirit died, and the Tufu Purifying Bell reappeared in the world.
"Are you relieved? Relieved that I didn't die in the Huashe disaster back then?!"
Faced with Tang Li's tearful accusation, Ruo Ziheng was speechless. But he could not accept that a misunderstanding had driven a wedge between them. After all, he had been kept in the dark about what happened back then. Surely there was no blame in not knowing.
"Tang Li, are you still holding a grudge against me?"
"I stopped hating you a long time ago."
