A kindhearted cat demon bottom × a proud, cold fox demon top
*
Cheng Miao was once a white cat who was bullied by everyone, until he was saved by a stroke of luck. His benefactor was reborn several times over the next hundred years, living a tragic life and never surviving past thirty.
To repay his debt, Cheng Miao took human form and saved his benefactor, giving his own blood to do so.
Clad in white, carrying a glass vial, Cheng Miao began wandering among the realms of humans, ghosts, and demons.
An underground blood altar, a spirit-bestowing embroidered ball, a real and a fake fox demon...
In a world of eerie cases and hearts impossible to read, Cheng Miao refused to believe that malice was all he would find.
But the ones who stayed by his side and showed him kindness were a young human Taoist priest and a fox who was all bark and no bite.
That fox had tender eyes, a dazzling red robe, cold lips, and a burning heart.
Chen Li said, "Humans and demons may walk different paths, but their hearts can be just as dark. You won't find true love, only false intentions."
Cheng Miao asked, "Then is your kindness to me false, too?"
Chen Li said nothing. He stared at Cheng Miao for a long time. He had fallen in love with him long ago, without even realizing it.
And Cheng Miao felt the same.

When Chen Li first met Cheng Miao, he was a fox tied up with coarse rope and on the brink of death. A pure white cat had saved his life.
He gave up his path to immortality just to repay the white cat's kindness.
When they met again, he stayed by Cheng Miao's side as a human, but in the end, Cheng Miao saw through his disguise.
With tears of blood in his eyes, Cheng Miao held him, barely alive, in his arms. "Would it be worth it to save my life with your blood core?"
Chen Li replied, "Yes. My life was yours to begin with. How could it not be worth it?"
