Nezha and the Spirit Pearl, set in modern times. Two powerful leads, with a strong heroine.
A gentle little fox and a sweet-looking black-hearted lotus (the little fox is naive and confused after losing her memory, while the lotus keeps acting obedient because of a misunderstanding).
After waiting a thousand years, Third Prince Nezha finally sees the little fox awaken. Will she fall in love with him? Nezha doesn't know, but he'll protect her until she figures it out.
A thousand years ago on Qingqiu Mountain, Bai Su, heir to the Qingqiu clan, had her hands full. She had to manage everything in the clan, mediate between her father and mother, and deal with her younger sister Bai Xi's girlish crush. Love really was such a nuisance! While going to retrieve her sister, who had run off to the human world, she found a handsome young man covered in blood. The little fox didn't want to get involved, but after seeing his breathtakingly beautiful face, she still took him back home.
From then on, the young man wouldn't leave her alone.
“Bai Su! You've brought home another stray monkey!” the little lotus fumed.
“He... looked pretty pitiful, lying by the road.”
“Hah! Last time you brought home a dog, and now it's a monkey. Are you planning to open a zoo?” The little lotus was seething.
“Bai Su, wake up. You still haven't given me your answer. I've killed all the bad people, so you don't have to worry about Qingqiu anymore. Please, wake up.” The Third Prince knelt beside the fox, who lay covered in blood, all her tails severed and no breath left in her, sobbing and begging.
I'll save you... The Third Prince numbly cut open his own wrist and let his blood drip into the girl's mouth.
The story follows the heroine as she wakes from a long sleep in the modern era. At night, she dreams about the people she saw during the day and remembers what happened with them. The whole novel is told through flashbacks and includes Investiture of the Gods and Journey to the West storylines, with many original twists.
