[Female-Focused Sweet Romance x Fantasy x Light Mystery]
Two thousand two hundred years ago, he was the king of the Great Shang, and she was a fox from Qingqiu.
On the night Chaoge fell, he traded the Human Emperor's Sword for her life and told her, “Wait for me.”
She waited two thousand years, through the changing seasons and the rise and fall of dynasties, until she even forgot who she was.
Tanzhou, Southern Song dynasty. A drizzly Qingming day.
A young doctor named Yin Jin picked up the jade hairpin she had deliberately dropped in the mud. His ears turned red as he stammered, “Fairy big sister.” Looking at his familiar yet unfamiliar face, she nearly burst into tears.
In this life, he no longer rules the world. He's just a poor doctor with a bare cupboard, debts, and a habit of treating patients for free. He can't even kill a chicken.
“I'll marry him,” she said.
The whole city was in an uproar.
On their wedding night, he held the strand of hair she had cut and said, “May I have your heart alone, and may we never part, even when our hair turns white.” She smiled, drank the nuptial wine, and swallowed the words she'd held for two thousand years.
Until a strange plague spread through the city, children vanished, and demonic energy filled the air. Some used magic, while others invoked forbidden formations to seek eternal life. Only then did she realize she wasn't the only one who had waited two thousand years for him.
And in this life, she would never let him die for her again.
“My king, this time, let me protect you.”
The red wedding veil is lifted, revealing a love that has endured for two thousand years. The red candles burn down, and the warmth of an ordinary human life begins.
