Seven Seas provides the following volume summary:
A HEART AS STUBBORN AS A ROCK
Song Qingshi has lost his memories, and with them the truth of who Yue Wuhuan truly is—yet the two are drawn together all the same. However, something about reality seems…strange. Like Song Qingshi isn’t the only one who’s forgotten something important.
In search of answers, he eventually enters a trial left behind by the legendary sword master Mo Yuan, forced to confront the same fatal mistake again and again. Meanwhile, Demons of Filth rise from the shadows, a devastating plague spreads across the land, and the world itself continues to crumble. But at least Song Qingshi has Yue Wuhuan at his side.
Beneath the corruption and ruin, the ultimate truth lies waiting to surface. Even a being never meant to feel can grow a heart strong enough to defy fate. And a phoenix will always rise from the ashes.
Includes an exclusive new chapter from Feng Yu Nie!

Mistakenly Saving the Villain
論救錯反派的下場
[Synopsis Provided by Seven Seas Entertainment:]
When medical student Song Qingshi dies and wakes up in a historical fantasy novel, he’s tasked with rescuing the tragic protagonist from a life of misery. There’s just one problem—he has no idea who the protagonist is.
Instead of saving the hero, Song Qingshi accidentally rescues Yue Wuhuan, an enslaved man renowned for his striking beauty and trained in the art of seduction. Now determined to help his traumatized new patient heal, Song Qingshi offers everything he can: Medicine, therapy, emotional support, even a shared bed—strictly for his patient’s well-being, of course.
But Yue Wuhuan wants more than healing. He wants revenge. And most of all, he wants Song Qingshi all to himself.
As enemies close in—and even heaven itself turns against them—Song Qingshi isn’t trying to change the story. He’s just trying to save the one person who needs him most.
