Lin Xiaohe, twenty-eight, an administrative assistant at a company. Cause of death: overwork.
When she opens her eyes again, she has become a three-tailed fox with a mottled coat, a concubine-born member of the Black Fox clan, with a status lower than dirt. Her only support is her older sister Weishu, who married into Qingqiu. During occasional visits there, she meets Bai Qian.
The good news: Bai Qian is her best friend.
The bad news: she knows what happens to “Xuan Nü” in the original story: she marries a scumbag, steals a formation diagram, and loses her eyesight.
She decides to defy fate:
Don’t marry Li Jing, train as hard as she can, and cling to every powerful ally she can find.
Die Feng, senior disciple of Kunlun Xu and second prince of the West Sea Dragon Palace, is steady, proper, and destined for greatness.
He’s the chosen one in everyone’s eyes. She wouldn’t dare reach for someone like him.
Until one day, he takes her hand before the Dragon King of the West Sea:
“Father, for tens of thousands of years, she’s the only one I’ve ever chosen.”
Watching him, Xuan Nü thinks
Did I somehow turn this powerful ally into my husband?
