One rainy night, human designer Lin Wanxing runs into a nine-tailed fox at the end of an alley, and her life takes a sharp turn. The Moon Soul Stone among her grandmother’s belongings holds a shocking secret: she’s descended from the fox clan.
Fox Jiu, the fox clan’s crown prince, is so handsome he hardly looks real. He warns her that “the Moon Soul Stone is draining your life,” then firmly takes her hand. “Come back to Qingqiu with me. I’m the only one who can protect you.”
Terrifying illusions in the misty forest, life-and-death trials before the Bewitching Tree, the hostility and harassment of Qingqiu’s elders, and the mess left behind by her great-grandmother, whose love for a human sparked civil strife in the fox clan… With her half-human, half-fox blood and the dangerous Moon Soul Stone in her possession, she draws closer and closer to this fox prince, who says one thing and does another, as they try to “return the stone and save her life.”
He bristles and fiercely defends her when others give her a hard time. When she’s frightened, he awkwardly offers her a Purifying Pearl. Under the moonlight, he blushes and tells her, “You’re not like other humans.” She stands by him when he takes on the entire clan for her, secretly aches for him when he shows his vulnerability, and, through all their brushes with death, turns their “partnership” into love.
When a thousand-year-old grudge meets an unexpected romance, and an unbreakable bond of affection overcomes the divide between their species, is the Moon Soul Stone a shackle of fate or the catalyst for their love? A sweet yet bittersweet romance spanning two worlds is about to unfold beneath the starlight of the Moon God’s Altar…
