After failing her tribulation, the nine-tailed fox demon Tushan Suisui was saved by a boy. She remembered her benefactor for nine years.
When she finally found him, he was lying on the dragon bed, barely clinging to life.
She had to save him, even if it cost her half her cultivation!
But could someone explain why, after she transferred her demon core into him, she couldn’t get it back out?!
“Same source, same essence. Let the faint light appear. Retrieve!”
“Retrieve!”
“Retrieve again!”
After casting the spell a hundred times to no avail, Suisui assumed the identity of Su Sui, daughter of the governor of Lizhou, and infiltrated the palace as a consort.
Late one night, she sneaked into the emperor’s chambers and was just about to cast her spell when
The emperor on the dragon bed suddenly opened his eyes and seized her wrist.
“Lady Su, what have you done to me?”
“Su Sui” stared at her faintly glowing fingertips, then at the demon core flickering in and out of sight over his heart. She nearly burst into tears. “What if I told you I just want my things back? Would you believe me?”
The emperor sneered. “Do you have to reach into my chest to take something?”
Later
She finally discovered that her demon core and his heart had long since merged, bound together as one.
If she took the core, he would die. If she didn’t, she would.
Worse still, the boy who had saved her all those years ago wasn’t him at all...
Later still
“You want my life? I’ll give it to you. But you have to stay by my side for the rest of your life.”
[The heroine’s fox-clan name is Tushan Suisui; her human name is Su Sui.]
