Bai Nuonuo, the last nine-tailed white fox of Qingqiu, got lost on her very first day sneaking into the human world, then stumbled straight into a bloody plot to assassinate the tyrant.
Xie Yuan picked her up by the tail from a mountain of corpses. Convinced that this fussy fox who could turn into a human was an enemy spy, he tricked her into taking “Thirteen Fragrances of Certain Death.”
She had to take the antidote he personally gave her every day.
Terrified, Bai Nuonuo cried herself to sleep every night. She obediently served as his pillow while hiding sugar pills and digging tunnels, dreaming only of escaping back to Qingqiu.
Later, the Imperial Preceptor and all the officials knelt in the Golden Hall and demanded that the demon consort be executed.
Xie Yuan cut the memorial in two with his sword, blood staining the imperial steps. “She has nine lives, so I’ll protect her for nine lifetimes. Whoever dares lay a hand on her, I’ll wipe out their entire clan first.”
Only after Bai Nuonuo had gathered all the “antidote” and sneaked up to the sacrificial altar did she realize that she was never the one who had been terminally ill.
The man’s eyes red, he pulled her into his arms. “Nuonuo, where’s my medicine?”
