[On the surface, a cold and aloof Saint Son shou × a demon gong who transforms from a loyal dog to a mad dog]
Also known as “The Old Demon’s Breakdown Record”
One-sentence summary: He thought he was seeking revenge, but in reality, he had already started liking the other person long before he was stabbed, yet he stubbornly refused to admit it, leading to the old demon’s relentless pursuit of his beloved.
A thousand years ago, the Saint Son pierced the demon’s heart with a sharp sword.
A thousand years later, the demon awakens from hell, vowing revenge.
But when the demon returns to the human world and arrives at the temple, he finds that the current Saint Son is no longer as powerful as he was a thousand years ago. Instead, he is imprisoned by the church, as fragile as a delicate porcelain that could shatter at a touch.
The demon is disappointed.
He almost gives up on his revenge because it seems pointless and boring.
—Until the seemingly weak and easily bullied Saint Son once again plunges a sharp dagger into his chest.
Crimson blood flows from the wound, yet the demon laughs, wiping the splattered blood from the Saint Son’s cheek, saying:
“You’re still the same as before.”
The Saint Son has reincarnated too many times, forgetting many past events, including past grudges.
Until the enemy comes knocking.
But this so-called “enemy” who claims to want to cut him into pieces ends up taking him to bed instead.
The Saint Son, pinned to the bed: What kind of revenge is this?!
…
The demon is determined to avenge the heart-piercing grudge from a thousand years ago, but rather than returning the favor with a sword, he wants to see this deity, who has been placed on a pedestal and untouched by the world, fall into the mire.
But when the Saint Son is truly betrayed by everyone, offered as a sacrifice to the gods by the believers, Asmodeus feels no joy in his revenge.
He thinks, it must be because this is not enough.
He not only wants the Saint Son to fall into the mud, but he also wants this person to accompany him in hell for a lifetime.
3. The Saint Son is cold-hearted and emotionless, as pure and untainted by the world as the gods in the temple.
Therefore, no one would expect that the church’s downfall, the purge of heretics, and the collusion with demons were all his doing.
An old friend questions him, asking what his purpose is.
He answers, to end the suffering in the world.
A thousand years ago, that was why he was born into this world.
To him, the process doesn’t matter, the means don’t matter, as long as the result is right.
So he doesn’t care about infamy, allows betrayal, and doesn’t mind the shameful marks the demon leaves on his body.
But after everything settles, the once desireless and indifferent Saint Son experiences loneliness for the first time. Walking alone in the world, he recalls the figure that embraced him in the dark corner.
