[Fox spirit + mystery-solving + two powerful leads + sweet romance + one-on-one]
A Li, a three-hundred-year-old little fox spirit, has one problem: whenever she lies, her tail puffs up.
One day, she comes down from the mountain and accidentally becomes Prince Jing’s personal “lie-detecting lady.”
Everyone says Prince Jing, Xie Jingyuan, is a living King of Hell: cold and celibate, with no qualms about killing and no interest in women.
A Li believes them.
Until...
She cracks a strange case, and he silently hands her a warm osmanthus cake. “Your reward.”
She’s hunted by villains, and he shields her with his bloodied body. “I’m here.”
Her tail slips out by accident, and he calmly pulls her into his arms. “Don’t move. I’ll hide it for you.”
A Li is baffled.
Whatever happened to the living King of Hell?!
Whatever happened to his lack of interest in women?!
Before long, everyone in Prince Jing’s household knows:
The prince fears nothing under heaven, except when the little fox spirit’s tail puffs up.
The moment it does, he immediately gives in. “All right, all right. Whatever you say. I’ll get you all the osmanthus cakes you want.”
