Synopsis

[Scheming Fox Immortal x Nurtured Courtesan] Two male leads / Both strong / Fated entanglement

“I am his destined vessel; he is my tribulation.”

In the ninth year of the Xuan era, demonic arts run rampant and the martial world is in turmoil. Chen Heqing, born to an ordinary family, follows his sister after she is sold to a brothel, where he is forced to scrape by among women.

He dreams of roaming the martial world, but has to hide his edge and put on makeup. One side is a world of flashing blades and swift young heroes; the other, a warm bed beneath red silk curtains and a smile like a flower.

Amid the envy and covetous glances of the crowd, a pair of fox-like eyes watch from the shadows, fixed on the boy who should have died in Chenjiagou.

Those eyes once saved him from danger, and also pushed him into the abyss.

He taught him to wield a blade, and taught him to fall in love. Later, the blade’s point turned toward its master, and that love became a calamity.

“Chen Heqing, why do your eyes only see the filth and rot at your feet, while you alone fail to see my heart?”

The five gates are awash in worldly dust overnight. How could a foolish boy lose himself so completely?
