[Charming, mischievous little fox × Cold-faced, doting demon king]

Xie Huaizhi is the only son of the richest man in Jingzhou, known as “Lord Xie the Reaper.” He's cold, cruel, heartless, and impossible to deal with.

He's done two truly crazy things in his life:

First, when he was kidnapped at ten, he turned the tables and sent his kidnappers to prison.

Second, he knew perfectly well that Old Master Qiao was tricking him into a marriage, and signed anyway.

Qiao Yang is the Qiao family's only daughter, nicknamed “Jingzhou's Little Menace.”

She's spoiled, wild, and unrestrained. Her only real talent is causing trouble.

Her grandfather worried so much his hair all fell out, until he finally slapped his thigh and declared:

“That demon from the Xie family can keep her in line.”

In their first month of marriage, she blew up the kitchen.

In their second month, she left Auntie Xie so angry she was short of breath.

At a family banquet, she won all the rich ladies' private savings at the mahjong table.

All of Jingzhou was waiting for Xie Huaizhi to divorce her.

Instead, late one night, he pulled her into his arms and kissed her forehead.

“Good girl, next time you roast someone, don't smile so obviously.”

Qiao Yang wondered: Wasn't he supposed to be cold and heartless?

She gives him the cold shoulder, and he clings to her.

She won't sleep, so he soothes her to sleep.

She says she wants a divorce, and he kisses her until she can't speak.

All of Jingzhou knows that Lord Xie the Reaper keeps a little fox at home.

They can argue and fight all they want, but anyone who touches her gets bitten.
