[Devoted, dog-like prince seme who relentlessly pursues him x gentle, beautiful heir who is sharp-tongued but soft-hearted uke]
Zhong Yao, heir to the Dingbei Prince's household, was sent to the royal capital as a child. Officially, he was the crown prince's study companion, but in truth, he was a hostage.
One day, while strolling in the Eastern Palace garden, Zhong Yao was knocked into a pond by a white fox. When he woke up, his soul had possessed the very fox that had hit him.
At that moment, two serious problems stood before him.
First: His original body was nowhere to be found.
Second: He was now sleeping in the bed of Crown Prince Zhou Chengyu of the Eastern Palace.
Just as he was about to escape, someone pushed open the bedroom door. Zhou Chengyu walked in, and the first thing he said was, "I had no idea my A-Yao was a fox in disguise."
Zhong Yao's thoughts:
First: I'm not yours.
Second: I didn't turn into a fox, either.
Third: If you know who I am, then hurry up and send me back!
The Crown Prince had been rejected by the person he loved just the day before. Naturally, he gathered the little fox on the bed into his arms and said as if it were only right, "I saved you. Shouldn't you give yourself to me in return?"
The little fox responded by baring a mouthful of sharp teeth at Zhou Chengyu.
Later, Zhong Yao returned to human form, and Zhou Chengyu confessed his feelings again.
Zhou Chengyu: "No wonder A-Yao is a fox in disguise. In just a few months, you've managed to make the Crown Prince of this dynasty utterly infatuated. Your magical powers must be extraordinary."
Zhong Yao: "I am neither a fox in disguise nor a fox reincarnated, Your Highness. Please mind your manners!"
Reading guide:
1: Fictional setting, one-on-one romance, both are sexually inexperienced, sweet romance, happy ending.
2: Not a political intrigue novel. The romance is the focus.
3: The emperor is not a terrible father, and the love interest remains the crown prince throughout.
4: The uke's fox form appears mostly in the early part of the story and rarely in the middle and later parts.
