The Investiture of the Gods: I’m Truly a Calamity-Bearing Beauty

Su Meier, a nine-tailed fox, enters the palace to repay a debt of gratitude. She only wants to keep her head down and be invisible, so how did the entire court decide she was a calamity who would bring down the kingdom? She really hasn't done anything!

After a thousand years of cultivation, the nine-tailed fox Su Meier had only just taken human form when an old Taoist began hunting her. At her most desperate, she was saved by Di Xin, king of the Great Shang. His words, “I am the king of Great Shang. I have no fear of this karma,” shook the little fox to her core, and from then on, she secretly gave him her heart.

Back in Qingqiu, Su Meier devoted herself to cultivation day and night, determined to take true human form and repay the emperor by his side. When she heard that Di Xin had been ambushed while hunting, she rushed to him without a second thought and took an arrow for him, leaving her life hanging by a thread. Di Xin saved the “silly fox” and brought her back to the palace to recover.

Thus began a hilarious yet unforgettable romance between a little fox with no grasp of human ways and a mighty, iron-willed emperor, deep within the palace. Su Meier stayed by Di Xin’s side in the name of repaying her debt, unaware that she had already fallen deeply in love. Di Xin saw the silly fox as a welcome comfort from the tedium of court life, but as she risked her life to protect him time and again, his heart began to stir.

Yet humans and demons follow different paths. At court, a Taoist predicted, “This fox will bring ruin to the kingdom.” Beyond the court, all manner of demons coveted the emperor’s power. And above them both hung the ever-shifting karma of the Heavenly Dao. As Great Shang teetered on the brink of collapse and Di Xin faced a life-or-death crisis, how would this little fox protect the one she loved?
