share time: 2025-10-22 00:40:28

Gu Zhao, a cold, rule-abiding underworld officer, is ordered to descend to the mortal world to capture the "dream-eating demon" that escaped earth. But he immediately smashes the sugar congee stall of Su Wan, a sweet girl selling porridge, and is forced to "work off the debt" by staying in her shabby hut. To his shock, the demon has latched onto Su Wan, feeding on her nightly sweet dreams—dreams of a mysterious young man in a wedding robe! When Gu Zhao checks her dreams, he sees *himself* in that robe—they were betrothed in a past life but never married. Now, pretending to be a destitute scholar to monitor Su Wan, he’s melting for her warm congee and bright smile. Why is his demon hunt turning sweet? When the demon is ready to drain Su Wan’s last dream, will he choose the underworld’s rules… or protect the girl who stole his heart?
