[Crane Spirit & Nine-Tailed Fox] (Only the first four chapters are in first person)
He Xinfei, a little spirit from Crane Mountain, keeps her master’s dying wish in her heart and descends the mountain to find four divine artifacts and deliver them to the Demon King.
But how can she get anything done without money?
To earn a living and inquire about the artifacts’ whereabouts, she applies to become Tushan Xianbei’s bodyguard. Unfortunately, this fox is always making things difficult for her, docking her pay again and again.
At this rate, when will she ever find all the artifacts and fulfill her dream of becoming fabulously wealthy?
A fortune-teller says, “Miss, you’re destined for wealth and high status. Wearing gold and silver is only a matter of time. But your romantic fate is tangled up in knots, impossible to cut through and hard to unravel…”
Xin’er pays him no mind, never imagining that his words will come true.
The master brewer she admires above all others, Qiu Fuyi, turns out to be her childhood friend Shankui, while the Qingqiu gentleman she tried to charm for money is the boy who helped her when they were young.
As fate brings them together and pulls them apart, she has already fallen into a whirlpool of emotions. But the mystery of her origins and the differences in their identities leave her with an impossible choice.
“Fox of Tushan, why don’t we stay in Wanqiu for the rest of our lives? We won’t look for a way out. We’ll just be Ziqian and Xiaoyue. What do you say?”
“If you journey to the ends of the world, I’ll follow. Xin’er, my heart bears witness: you alone are the one for me.”
How could we forget each other in this vast world?
May life and death become a longing that binds us.
“Shankui, the Demon King has arranged our marriage, but I still hope…”
“This is only in name, Xiaoyue. I’ll give you your freedom.”
“I’m sorry, Shankui. In the end, I let you down.”
“Xiaoyue, if I had been the first to recognize you at the Jishui River, would you have chosen me?”
“I don’t know.”
“Be my wife in the next life. I can ask for nothing in this one, but I hope that in the next, I’ll come before him.”
Every node in the story has its own attraction. I like the beginning of the story the most. The daily interactions of fishing and doing odd jobs make me look warm. The dishes I cook at my leisure make me greedy. Although the main plot is about treasure hunting, I still hope there will be a return scene. The biggest abuse point is that humans and monsters arrive at the same place by different roads. If I go back, things will be different, which will make me cry ~ 😢.
Rich imagination and coherent storyline
