Lin Yunmiao was born into a prominent family and raised as a treasured darling, showered with love and every luxury. Even his golden core was formed from a heap of rare treasures and precious gems. He was the most extravagant, arrogant young wastrel under heaven.
But all that glory was turned upside down when he was sixteen.
The half-demon blood hidden within Lin Yunmiao erupted without warning. In an instant, his status as the treasured young master of the Lin family became a hollow illusion.
His golden core was destroyed. He was thrown into a dungeon, then escaped while gravely injured and close to death. As his consciousness scattered, he caught a hazy glimpse of the face of a poor sword cultivator.
On his way back from his training journey, Pei Yuan found a dying fox kit. Its snow-white fur was stained red with blood.
A cold voice rang in his mind: "He's the fiancée who broke off your engagement in the original book. Are you still going to save him?"
Pei Yuan calmly replied, "He's just a little fox."

Every day, Pei Yuan bandaged the little fox and applied medicine, made it toys out of bamboo, fashioned it a nest from his old clothes, and held it in his arms while he slept.
The little fox gradually recovered, but became incredibly clingy. If he couldn't see Pei Yuan for a moment, he would cry himself hoarse.
From then on, Pei Yuan took him everywhere. A tiny white fox was always tucked away in his sleeve, a basket, or around his neck.
Until one day, he opened the courtyard gate and a beautiful little snowball stumbled over to him and jumped into his arms, calling softly, "Hu-hu... husband... kiss...!"
System: "I told you he's the arrogant, domineering fiancée from the original book who broke off your engagement and humiliated you!"
Pei Yuan: "He's just a little fox."
The little fox had lost his memories. He mistook Pei Yuan for his husband and stubbornly believed he was Pei Yuan's child bride, meant to wash his clothes, cook for him, marry him, and have his children.
But his body kept changing because his soul was unstable. One moment he looked like a little cub, the next like a teenager.
What's more, he couldn't even walk or speak properly, and he was so spoiled, lazy, and foolish it was astonishing!
Pei Yuan patiently taught him. He taught him to say his name, to keep his eyes on Pei Yuan alone, and to call Pei Yuan whenever he was in danger.

Pei Yuan was naturally solitary and cold. On the road to becoming the so-called "chosen one" in the System's words, he had only one companion by his side: a spoiled little fox.
The little fox's storage pouch grew fuller, his jewels more numerous, and his cultivation stronger. He changed into two new sets of hard-to-find beautiful clothes each day, and even insisted on drinking only celestial nectar.
He spent his days either clinging to Pei Yuan or curled up in his arms.
Cultivators from every sect had seen the shocking sight of this chosen one fighting with his wife in one arm.
He covered the young man's eyes as blood splattered all over him, yet Lin Yunmiao remained spotless, without a speck of dust.
...Terrifying!
A little bonus scene:
On the night before their wedding, the Lin family ran red with blood, and the stench of it filled the air.
Pei Yuan expressionlessly withdrew his bloodstained sword. "My wife was young and suffered countless humiliations. Today, you reap what you sow. At the moment of your deaths, pray for blessings on my beloved wife and my wedding, and atone for the sins of your past."
Yunmiao clung to Pei Yuan's shoulder, swaggering under his protection: See that? That's karma coming full circle!
System shrieked: "Wicked concubine!"
Pei Yuan: "He's just a little fox."
