Ling Yaoyao, young mistress of the Red Fox clan of Qingqiu, is gifted but lazy to the bone. It takes her 500 years to take human form, not because she's stupid, but because she simply can't be bothered to meditate!
Tired of the elders nagging her, she slips out of Qingqiu with a clear goal: find a dependable sucker and live the lie-flat life, free to be pampered!
By a stroke of luck, she is taken home by Shen Yanzhi, a poor county registrar. She thinks she can happily freeload on food and lodging, but instead she runs into a nasty mother-in-law and sister-in-law who make trouble for her at every turn, as well as a sucker who fancies himself a lovesick romantic. Later, he even brings home another little fox spirit!
Ling lets out a cold laugh. Sure, she may be a slacker, but she won't put up with this! Once she sees people for who they really are, she decisively walks away and returns to Qingqiu to keep stealing peaches, loafing around, and doing whatever she pleases. And that poor registrar? Love him or leave him, what matters is that she's happy!
