In the third year of Fang Chengyun's reign, he found a little white fox shivering with cold in the imperial garden.
The little fox blinked its watery eyes and clamped its teeth around the hem of his dragon robe, refusing to let go.
Later, it cultivated a human form: white robes, snowy hair, and bare feet on the cold golden-brick floor. It looked up at him and smiled. “Your Majesty, I'm hungry.”
The emperor lifted him onto the dragon throne and fed him sweet steamed milk curds himself. “Call me Big Brother.”
“…Big Brother.”
“Good boy, sweetheart.”
Later still, every official at court knew that the young emperor, ruthless and decisive, always carried a fluffy fox tail in his arms.
That was the little good-luck charm he'd raised and treasured above all else.
