A Pampered Fox Wife's Cuddles Keep Her Alive in an Eighties Military Marriage

[1980s Military Marriage + Adorable Fox Wife + Borrowing Merits + The Male Lead Falls for Her on His Own + Sweet and Satisfying]

Lin Zhaoxue, a nine-tailed mystic fox, fails her tribulation and wakes up in the body of a pitiful young woman at a northern forest farm.

Her uncle's family steals her home, pockets her compensation, and even tries to marry her off to a suspicious procurement officer.

She is fretting over the lack of spiritual energy in this age of declining magic when she comes across Lu Chenxiao in the snowy forest.

A border defense officer, gravely wounded and poisoned, he is brimming with merit earned protecting his country.

Lin Zhaoxue's eyes light up.

This isn't a man. He's a living spring of spiritual energy!

She takes his hand, claiming she's cold; burrows into his arms, claiming she's afraid of thunder; and asks him to hold her, claiming she's in terrible pain.

Lu Chenxiao misunderstands her all the way: She's so clingy, she must be madly in love with me.

Later, his merits are sealed. She can no longer draw even the slightest warmth from him, yet she still stays by his side.

She only meant to borrow his merits to restore her tails, but somewhere along the way, she truly fell for the cold-faced officer.
