The Crown Prince of the Nine-Tailed Fox Clan x the Cat Queen with the Nine-Turn Spirit Veins: A Sweet Romance and Comeback Story
“They first met in the forbidden lands of Qingqiu; by the spring beneath the hidden moon, they pledged their lives to each other.”
The aloof cat princess Hua Qianye possesses the rare Nine-Turn Spirit Veins, unseen for a thousand years. Loathing political marriage, she ventures alone into the fox clan's forbidden lands, where she accidentally triggers an ancient seal. When the fox clan's crown prince, Yun Lingxiao, saves her, he discovers that beneath her icy gaze lies a spiritual resonance powerful enough to shake his seven-tailed cultivation.
“She runs, he chases; she's cold, he flirts.”
Using her trespass as an excuse, Yun Lingxiao keeps Hua Qianye by his side. His open favoritism toward her at a banquet stirs an uproar among the clans.
Hua Qianye keeps everyone at arm's length with her tea ceremony, only for the crown prince to become her student. A cup of moonlit dew reveals the stirrings beneath her icy facade.
When the wolf clan's plot tears open the border between the two clans, Yun Lingxiao is trapped in mortal danger, clutching the protective medicine she gave him. She goes three days without sleep as she breaks the plague and saves his entire clan.
“The day the ninth tail appears, the spirit veins awaken.”
In the shadows, the fox clan's second prince conspires with the wolves, laying a vast, inescapable trap.
In the open, Hua Qianye is forced to confront the bloodline bond between her Nine-Turn Spirit Veins and the fox clan's secret arts.
When Yun Lingxiao takes a fatal blow for her at their engagement ceremony, his bloodstained ninth tail finally breaks through its seal. For the first time, the spirit veins sleeping within her shine for someone else. It turns out that the great war between their clans three hundred years ago had already foretold the marriage they would share today.
**“If you want the throne of Qingqiu, I'll clear the wolves from every corner of the realm for you.
If you want to be left alone, I'll break these chains of political marriage and give you back your freedom.
But remember this, Hua Qianye: whether you're a cat princess or the master of the Nine-Turn Spirit Veins,
in this life, you can only be my wife, Yun Lingxiao's.”**
