Hu Lili fled Qingqiu for the human world to escape an arranged marriage. She planned to hide until the matter blew over, then return home. But soon after arriving, she ran into a young Daoist with extraordinary skills. They used each other to solve a problem, and she assumed they would never meet again.
Yet fate brought them back together. She was so taken with his looks that she figured she might as well spirit him home and have his children. But this little Daoist was no ordinary man. Never mind, the little fox thought. I'm only a minor fox spirit. If I can't afford to provoke him, I can always run away. There are countless men in the world. If this one won't do, I'll find another.
But before she could make her escape, the young Daoist had sweet-talked and tricked her into his hands.
“My dear, where are you going? We aren't even married yet, and you're already trying to run?”
“N-no, I'm not. Don't make things up. I'm just going for a walk.”
“Really?”
“Mm-hmm.” Can I still make a run for it...?
