I am a wild fox named Yuan Bao. I was caught for stealing a chicken and my life was on the line. A Taoist priest said that I was "born with a phoenix destiny", which caused laughter. It was Song Yun, a lady from an official family who was as beautiful as a pear blossom, who bought me the rest of my life with a piece of broken silver. From then on, I stayed by her side, watching her fall from being a daughter of a magistrate to being a prostitute, watching her save her food rations to feed me, and watching her infatuated and wrongful marriage to the ruthless courtier Liu Chengxuan.
She became his shady concubine, withering away amid the difficulties of the Prime Minister's daughter and the abuses of his servants. I was so hungry that I went to steal food, but I attracted an evil servant who coveted her beauty. Slander, sticks, cold mass graves... I cuddled up with her in a pool of blood, and my breath was about to expire.
When she was about to die, the Tao passed away and came back again, using an ancient mirror and a heaven-defying mantra to drive the remnant soul of me, the fox, into her recently deceased body.
I became "her", carrying Song Yun's skin, but inside was the fox soul ingot. I drank blood, walked through the wilderness, and came to Jizhou City. In order to survive, I sneaked into the Xie Mansion and became the "cousin girl" Su Tao who survived by taking care of the stupid young master Xie Yunjun.
Xie Yunjun is as smart as a child and has infinite strength. He regards me as his only true friend. The second young master, Xie Yunshu, has a clear breeze and bright moon, with a deep mind. He treats me gently but distantly. The arrogant Aunt Liu is coveted by the concubine Xie Wenxuan, and the undercurrent in the high school never ceases.
Until the Mid-Autumn Festival night, when Xie Wenxuan's Hehuan dispersed, and the glass of wine Xie Yunshu drank for me, the mask of calm was torn apart. In order to save him, I discovered his biggest secret—Xie Yunshu, the second son of Jizhou, was actually a girl.
