“Knowing there's a tiger on the mountain, you still head straight for it.” That was how a silver dragon described a nine-tailed fox. She could have lived as the beloved princess of her clan, yet insisted on going to the human realm to become a Taoist priest, helping people overcome their tribulations wherever she went. Their parents arranged their marriage without asking them, offering five hundred peaches of immortality as the bride price and ignoring the fact that both parties were dead set against it. Though they couldn't stand the sight of each other, a twist of fate brought them together on a journey.
Sushui had lived a long time, but it was only through Jun Zihua that she learned even immortals could settle their disputes without magic, relying on sheer hand strength instead. The one with the stronger grip and longer nails won, and the first to cry out was the loser. His hands had a mind of their own. She lowered her eyes and looked at his long, elegant fingers. “Jun Zihua, keep those claws of yours in check.”
P.S. This story was inspired by Ten Miles of Peach Blossoms. Some characters have similar identities, but their personalities and the plot are original.
