My Phoenix Fate Was Stolen? But My Maid Is a Fox Spirit

[Household Intrigue + Wish Fulfillment + Crushing Scumbags + Revenge + Face-Slapping + Two Female Leads + Deep Master-Servant Bond]

In her past life, Yun Xi was the legitimate daughter of a marquis's household in the Great Zhao Empire. A celestial master deemed her ill-omened, so she was sent to the countryside.

Her birth mother adopted the fake heiress, Yun Qian, who was said to possess the destiny of a phoenix.

At sixteen, Yun Xi was brought back to the capital. On the way, a fire scarred her face, bandits attacked and she fell into the water, and the Yun residence's signboard came crashing down. Every incident was taken as proof that she was ill-omened.

The Crown Prince didn't reject her. He took her as a concubine, and her younger sister Yun Qian married into the household with her.

To repay his kindness, she did everything she could to support the Crown Prince. When he ascended the throne, he held Yun Qian in his arms as he had Yun Xi tortured to death. They cut off her head and hung it on the city gate, then smashed the child she'd given birth to right in front of her.

It turned out that it had all been an act. The marquis's household, her parents, her own brothers, the Crown Prince, and Yun Qian all knew the truth. They had all been plotting against her. She was the one truly destined to be a phoenix. She was Yun Qian's source of power, and Yun Qian had kept her alive until the Crown Prince took the throne so she could drain all of Yun Xi's phoenix destiny.

Three years later, the Great Zhao Empire fell. The nine-tailed fox A Li failed to ascend and burned away her ninth tail. It turned out that the empire she'd protected had fallen because the woman destined to be a phoenix had died.

To ascend, A Li descended to the mortal realm as Yun Xi's maid, reversed time, and returned to the day Yun Xi had set out for the capital.

Yun Xi was reborn, and A Li stood by her. Bound by their deep master-servant devotion, they relied on each other to survive. They returned to the marquis's residence and fought her parents, her own brothers, Yun Qian, and the Crown Prince. Everyone who owed her a life would pay with theirs.

It turned out that being destined to be a phoenix wasn't about supporting someone else. Whoever married the phoenix was the one who would rule the world.

But why did that man, sometimes a young acolyte of the Celestial Master and sometimes a sinister heir, walk up to A Li with his hands clasped behind his back?

“Little fox, you and I were made for each other!”
