Clear-headed, scheming rich girl × affectionate, love-starved fox spirit
Jiang Chunhe's mission in life was to be an ordinary person.
That is, until she accidentally grabbed Xia Dongli's fox tail.
An actual fox tail!
Suppressing the urge to bury her face in the fluffy fur, she followed the snowy-white tip upward and saw her new deskmate, Xia Dongli.
So her new deskmate was cosplaying on the very first day of school?
With two soft thumps, a pair of furry fox ears appeared on her new deskmate's head.
What?
Only one thought remained in Jiang Chunhe's mind: Real fur. I want to pet it!
What she didn't know was that Xia Dongli's eyes, lowered to hide his panic, now held a triumphant smile.
Xia Dongli grew up in an orphanage. He only learned that he was a fox after his clan found him, along with the rule that animals were forbidden from becoming spirits after the founding of the country.
Adult foxes had to return to their clan and live in seclusion.
Unless they could find a human willing to protect them and act as their guarantor.
He decided to use Jiang Chunhe to stay in the human world.
But when he heard his sworn rival tug on Jiang Chunhe's sleeve and say, "Sis, Xia Dongli only got close to you on purpose so he could stay in the human world. Look at me instead," he finally realized that all those repeated attempts to torment him had been driven by jealousy.
After his secret was exposed, he felt utterly dejected. Then he heard Jiang Chunhe speak in a tone he had never heard from her before, cool and impatient, with a hint of malice: "Did I ask you?"
Theme: Sincerity is always the ultimate trump card
