The day I was abandoned for having impure blood, I happened to meet Beast King Zhufeng as he came out to inspect his territory. He rescued me and took me back with him.
I became his subordinate, an exception to the rule. He treated me differently from the other beastmen, always gentle and considerate.
I lost myself in his tenderness and gradually fell in love with him.
The Saintess, Qing Ying, was consumed with jealousy. She framed me for destroying a sacred relic and exposed my feelings for him to everyone.
The beastmen mocked me. How could a mongrel fox with impure blood dare to set her sights on the Beast King?
The Beast King’s expression turned cold too. He ordered me to go to the fighting arena and reflect on my place.
I knelt on the ground and begged him desperately, but he was unmoved and had me dragged to the Beastman House.
On the eve of the harvest ceremony a year later, he finally remembered to bring me back.
He asked if I had learned my place. I nodded blankly, my eyes lifeless.
Only then did he discover that, over the past year, I had become a lowly female beast.
