[Innocent, cheerful little fox ✖️ sweet on the outside, dark on the inside Immortal Venerable] [Super sweet doting romance] [1v1, both leads are each other’s first and only] The aloof Immortal Venerable crooks a finger, and the adorable little fox takes the bait They say that nine tails make a fox a demon, while ten make one an immortal. Yet a thousand years ago, the last ten-tailed fox immortal cut off one of her tails of her own accord, willingly falling into demonhood. Countless lives were lost in that battle between immortals and demons. Even Shen Jile, the Divine Venerable of the Immortal Realm, lost his sight in the fighting. He waited a thousand years in the cold Palace of the Long Night, all for the chance to see his beloved again. Chu Yao is a soft, adorable little fox, and the prettiest fox in the Demon Realm. But on the very first day after she took human form, the Demon Stone chose her to infiltrate the Immortal Realm and get close to the Immortal Venerable, Shen Jile. With tears in her eyes, Chu Yao had no choice but to hug her fluffy tail and make her way to the Immortal Realm, looking utterly pitiful. She thought her disguise was flawless and that she was sure to win Shen Jile over. Little did she know that with every step, she was walking into the trap he had carefully laid for her. The once aloof, untouchable beauty gently toyed with her fox ears and chuckled. “Little fox, did you think you could still get away?” A little angst makes the sweetness even sweeter. The story is mostly sweet romance, so don’t read if that’s not your thing.
