The White Fox's Gratitude: The Cold Prince Loses His Composure

The fox spirit Bai Yingying has no interest in the path to immortality. Her heart belongs to the mortal world, and with an innocent, unworldly air, she ventures into its bustling life. By a stroke of misfortune, she ends up in a brothel; by a twist of fate, she becomes the daughter of the Bai family. The wheel of destiny turns quietly, sending her down a tumultuous path of trials in the mortal realm. Bai Yingying is determined to find the person who once saved her. At first, she mistakes the crown prince for her savior. After marrying Jing Yan, she spends all her time plotting an escape so she can find the “man who saved her life” from her memories. Little does she know that Jing Yan, the man beside her in bed, was her savior all along. After all their twists and turns, fate has already bound them tightly together. Rumor has it that Jing Yan is pure-hearted and passionless, cold and distant, with an icy air that keeps everyone at arm’s length. When he first meets Bai Yingying, the princess consort sent from the prime minister’s residence, he sees her merely as a diversion and decides to toy with her. He even considers killing her, thinking he can put an end to this tiresome interlude. But as he toys with her again and again, Bai Yingying is like the warm spring sun, quietly melting the ice around his heart. As he gazes at her, the chill in his eyes fades, replaced by tenderness and reluctance to let her go. He can no longer bring himself to hurt her in the slightest. Jing Yan wants Bai Yingying’s heart. She is a glimmer of light he found in the mortal world, and all he wants is to cradle her in his hands.
