Gu Jiuwei, the Empress of the Nine-Tailed Fox Clan, was saddled by the Heavenly Dao with a marriage contract. Her fiancé was Donghua Dijun of the Divine Realm, a paragon of the Six Realms, so perfect he was suffocating.
She didn’t want to marry him. She didn’t want to put on airs, follow rules, or become anyone’s empress.
So she bribed Meng Po, took her memories of the Divine Realm with her, and leaped onto the Reincarnation Platform, fleeing to the mortal world to live carefree as a lazy loafer.
But disaster struck on her very first day in the mortal realm: she had lost her fox form and her magic, leaving her with nothing but a stubborn mouth.
Even more absurdly, Donghua had descended to the mortal realm, too. He wasn’t there to catch her. He was there to win her over again.
With no Heavenly Dao marriage contract and no responsibilities to the Six Realms, Shen Du of the mortal world said to her, “Jiujiu, what are you afraid of? I’m here.”
There was nothing Gu Jiuwei had ever feared in her life, except one thing: Donghua!
