[Female-led story + sweet on the surface, dark underneath + multiple subplots + romance + one-on-one]
The fox spirits of the You Su clan are pure and kind by nature. Though they are born as demons, they are the clan of fox spirits closest to the immortals, and are counted alongside the dragon, qilin, and Black Tortoise as the Four Auspicious Beasts. At a hundred years old, they can communicate with the divine and foresee fate. At a thousand, they commune with Heaven, become celestial foxes, and are revered as fox immortals.
The You Su clan was on friendly terms with humanity, but knew nothing of human schemes and treachery, and greatly underestimated human greed.
Su Zhu, under the assumed name Bai Zhu, lives in Qinglou Qingshu, the foremost brothel in Wangdu, capital of the Fusang Dynasty, hoping to find her missing family.
He Chubai, Princess Pingle of Fusang, frequents brothels and doesn’t spare even the pillars of the dynasty. Yet she is so noble and lovely that the people of Fusang both love and loathe her. She is also one of the rare humans who wants everything there is to want.
First, she wants to be free from disasters; second, she wants family affection.
Third, she wants to be free from illness; fourth, she wants to get rich.
Fifth, she wants a carefree life; sixth, she wants wisdom.
Seventh, she wants to be invincible; eighth, she wants beauty.
Ninth, she wants to be heartless; tenth, she wants bliss.
He Chubai: “The list isn’t in any particular order.”
