[The emperor rises to power + mutually coercive romance + human-fox love + pretending turns to true feelings + love-triangle drama + gender-swap fiction]
After a themed pajama party, Hu Pan is dressed as a fox when a scholar mistakes her for a fox spirit and takes her home. Things spiral out of control, and she discovers that the scholar is actually the male lead of a novel aimed at male readers.
So she has no choice but to keep up the act and play fox spirit every day. Lately, Xie Yu'an has noticed that his fox has become increasingly well-behaved. He spends every day pretending to be a harmless little white egg, afraid his pet fox will yearn for the outside world and run away.
A scene:
Xie Yu'an loves the moon, and especially likes bathing in its light. It all comes down to the fact that he and Hu Pan met beneath a full moon.
He loves her, but loves power even more.
When he finally looks back from the brink of taking the throne, feeling lonely and wishing for a beauty by his side, he suddenly realizes that several of the capital’s most famous establishments are named Moon Fragrance Pavilion, Bright Moon Teahouse, and Moonshadow Guard.
Even the names of the other two kingdoms become Moon Kingdom after they merge.
P.S. This is a one-on-one romance. The heroine is not chaste: she only goes all the way with the hero, but has done everything else. If that’s not for you, don’t read!
