[Sweet and angsty + lighthearted humor + xianxia + happy ending]
Who says immortals and mortals can’t fall in love? They’re the exception!
Bai Yuehu, a thousand-year-old white fox from Qingqiu.
Lu Jin, a scholar who passed the county-level civil service examination at just fourteen.
Their match seems destined, but in truth, the Heavenly Dao has laid a path to doom for them.
On a winter night at twenty-seven, he coughed up blood and died, his eyes filled with bitterness over his failed ambitions and shock at her identity as a fox demon.
“Never, ever, in any lifetime, let me see you again!”
Only after he returned to his place in the Celestial Realm did he understand: their seven years of misunderstanding and torment had led to an epiphany three hundred years too late.
They travel through the world amid love and entanglements: a fish demon’s infatuation, a bitter couple’s resentment, a flower demon’s devotion, a Daoist demon’s joy… All become threads of karma binding them together.
Heaven wants to control her life, but she refuses.
Then he will change her fate for her!
This time, he willingly defies Heaven for her, and amid thunderbolts that shake the skies, he softly tells her
“I’m back.”
