Synopsis
Everyone in the cultivation world knew one thingโ
Shen Yue was cursed.
The youngest disciple of the famous Azure Moon Sect possessed an unusual spiritual power that could control moonlight itself. Beautiful, quiet, and terrifyingly powerful, he was feared by other cultivators.
Then, during a night of blood-red moonlight, Shen Yue accidentally awakened something buried beneath the mountains.
A demon.
His name was Liang Chen.
The legendary Demon Lord who had disappeared a hundred years ago.
The moment their eyes met, Liang Chen smiled.
ยซโSo you're the one who woke me.โยป
Shen Yue immediately raised his sword.
โGo back to sleep.โ
Liang Chen laughed.
ยซโI'm afraid I can't.โยป
โWhy?โ
The demon lord stepped closer, his crimson eyes glowing beneath the moonlight.
ยซโBecause I've been waiting a hundred years for you.โยป
Shen Yue froze.
He had never met this man before.
So why did his heart recognize him?

The mountain was silent.
Too silent.
Shen Yue walked through the forest with one hand resting on the hilt of his sword.
The moon above him had turned completely red.
He stopped.
โโฆThis isn't normal.โ
A cold wind passed through the trees.
Thenโ
BOOM.
The ground beneath his feet cracked.
Shen Yue barely jumped away before a black mist erupted from the earth.
His sword flashed.
โStay back!โ
The mist suddenly gathered into the shape of a man.
Long black hair.
Pale skin.
Crimson eyes.
And a smile that made Shen Yue's blood run cold.
The stranger looked around as if he had just awakened from a very long sleep.
Then his gaze landed on Shen Yue.
For several seconds, neither of them spoke.
Finally, the man whispered,
ยซโYou came.โยป
Shen Yue frowned.
โDo I know you?โ
The man's smile disappeared.
โโฆYou don't remember?โ
โRemember what?โ
The stranger slowly walked toward him.
Shen Yue immediately pointed his sword at his throat.
โOne more step and I'll cut you down.โ
Instead of stopping, the man leaned closer to the blade.
ยซโStill holding a sword to my throat.โยป
Shen Yue's eyes narrowed.
โYou're the Demon Lord.โ
The stranger chuckled.
ยซโSo the stories survived.โยป
โLiang Chen.โ
The name left Shen Yue's lips like a curse.
Liang Chen smiled again.
ยซโAnd you're Shen Yue.โยป
Shen Yue's expression changed.
โHow do you know my name?โ
Liang Chen didn't answer.
Instead, he reached toward Shen Yue's face.
Shen Yue slapped his hand away.
โDon't touch me.โ
For the first time, Liang Chen looked genuinely amused.
ยซโYou really don't remember me.โยป
โI've never met you.โ
Liang Chen stared at him beneath the blood-red moon.
Then he whispered,
ยซโThat's unfortunate.โยป
His fingers gently touched the scar beneath his own collarbone.
ยซโBecause you were the one who killed me.โยป
Shen Yue's sword lowered slightly.
โWhat?โ
Liang Chen smiled.
ยซโAnd I was the one who loved you.โยป
The forest went silent.
Shen Yue's heart stopped.
Before he could ask another question, the moonlight suddenly exploded around them.
A strange symbol appeared on Shen Yue's wrist.
The same symbol appeared on Liang Chen's.
Their spiritual energies collided.
And somewhere deep inside Shen Yue's mindโ
a voice whispered.
โYou promised you'd find him again.โ
Shen Yue's eyes widened.
He knew that voice.
It was his own.
And he had absolutely no memory of ever making that promise.
