Lord Shaoqing, Your Fox Tail Is Showing!

[Quirky, clever, money-loving young demon hunter] vs. [Dali Temple deputy minister, a fox demon disguised as a human]

In the height of summer, in the seventh lunar month, a series of shocking disappearances took place in Chang'an. A woman’s corpse, dressed in wedding robes and horribly mutilated, was found outside the capital. A wound the size of a bowl had pierced her body through the lower abdomen.

Pei Du had only just taken office as the new deputy minister of Dali Temple when he was confronted with this difficult disappearance and murder case. Besides the dead woman, seven missing young women had yet to be found. Solving the case was urgent.

A strange woman carrying a massive sword was found in an abandoned temple nearby. Her movements were as swift as lightning, making her a suspect.

With the Hungry Ghost Festival approaching, a grand ritual was about to begin...

To clear her name, Li Xianyu, who had traveled a thousand li from the countryside to Chang'an hoping to become a demon hunter, had no choice but to team up with the newly appointed deputy minister.

Young women born in the yin month, grotesquely murdered corpses... women in bright red wedding robes, soul-revealing bells tied around their ankles... swollen bellies carrying ghost fetuses.

The culprit sat in a floating bridal sedan chair, revealing their true form beneath the crimson moon. The truth behind the tangled events of the past unfolded before them.

The murder case bound two people of vastly different status and backgrounds tightly together.

Later, Pei Du asked, “When did you figure out who I was?”

Li Xianyu revealed the dimples in her cheeks, reached out to grab his tail, and gazed at him with narrowed eyes. “Clever Deputy Minister, take a guess!”
