I am the last nine-tailed fox of Qingqiu, guarding a heart that will never beat. I have survived among the ruins for ten thousand years.
Then a young man afflicted with the Soul-Devouring Curse came to me. He said he was Zichen reincarnated, and that he would take me to Guixu to recover my soul.
I saw through his lie at a glance. The guilt in his eyes ran as deep as ten thousand years of frozen ice.
But I still took his hand.
Because a fox hunter already had a blade at my throat, and the curse of the Rebirth Seal was devouring my life force.
And because in the depths of Guixu lay not only Zichen's soul, but also the truth buried by that catastrophe.
“This time, let me be the one who deceives you.”
“I'll deceive you for a lifetime, deceive you until your soul scatters, deceive you into joining me in this scheme… to burn the cycle of reincarnation to ashes.”
