Nangong Yu had been coding until his eyes saw stars. He never imagined that the very next second he would tumble out of his cubicle and into mist-shrouded Qingqiu, becoming the legendary Fox King, mighty and imposing, who had been mysteriously and “accidentally” gravely wounded right before his coronation.
Nine fluffy tails? He had no idea. The authority to command every fox? None at all. Faced with covetous elders, covetous neighboring clans, and a covetous... no, a mysterious young man who kept approaching with a probing gaze, the former programmer Nangong Yu wanted only to open his control panel. This Fox King job is too hard. Can I roll back?
But as one crisis after another struck Qingqiu, and its fluffy subjects gazed at him with dewy eyes, the hands accustomed to typing code eventually clenched the Fox King’s scepter.
“System notification: Host has triggered the ‘Fox King’s Self-Cultivation’ quest. Please learn to shapeshift, fight off enemies, and... stop staring blankly at your tails.”
Nangong Yu: “...Wasn’t transmigrating supposed to come with a golden finger? Can’t I compile a barrier with my code?”
A collision between a modern office worker and an ancient fox clan, an underdog’s rise as he’s forced to do business in a fluffy world. When a programmer’s logic meets the fox clan’s feuds and passions, can he find a way beyond the keyboard to forge his own legend in Qingqiu?
