It had been raining for seven days in Qingzhou City. Su Yuniang held the black iron abacus tightly and dialed the last silver bead into the groove of "pay off". There was a gilt wedding card lying in the sandalwood box. The cinnabar mark on which Young Master Pei proposed to marry was stained with foxtail-shaped dark lines. The amount of the betrothal gift exactly covered the forty-eight taels of ancestral debt she carried.
Everyone said that this marriage was ridiculous - the merchant's daughter married a sick man who had never been seen before, and the sound of foxes could be heard every night in the house where the wedding sedan was carried. But when Su Yuniang touched the chalcedony on her husband's wrist, the body temperature she felt on her fingertips was three points lower than that of ordinary people; when her eldest son was born, his golden eyes flashed, and his swaddling clothes were stained with frost from the moonlight; when she found the fallen snow-colored fox fur in her husband's study, she was shocked to realize that this marriage was originally a sacrifice written a hundred years ago.
The Qingqiu Nine-tailed Fox Clan uses a blood contract to atone for their sins, while the human bride is a spiritual medium who seals the rift between the two worlds. The monetary debt in the account book is easy to repay, but the love debt that penetrates into the bone marrow is difficult to erase - Pei Zhaorong's little finger trembled when he traced her eyebrows, because the fox demon's passion will destroy all the thousands of years of cultivation; the baby's cry caused the earth's veins to tremble, and the Taoist monk's peach wood sword has reached the Pei's mansion; and the white fox that saved her life in the mass grave had a cinnabar mole on her forehead that was exactly the same as the person next to her pillow...
The red makeup fades into prison clothes, and the love threads become chains. When the black iron abacus rings again, what is to be reckoned with this time is the pain of gouging out the heart and the wrath of the burning sky. It is the words "My wife and beautiful lady are betrothed by the three realms" under the bloody moonlight.
