The Fox Beauty I Took In Won't Leave Me Alone

A highly intelligent, aloof, fastidious professor x a silly, food-loving, red-haired fox beauty

Lin Yan is an associate professor of biostatistics at Haicheng University, with severe OCD and a cool, reserved temperament.

During summer break, she returns to a southern town to visit her grandmother's grave. In the middle of the endless rainy season, she finds a red-haired little fox by a puddle at the roadside, badly injured from head to toe.

The torrential rain cuts off the town, forcing Lin Yan to stay. Her plans are thrown into disarray, and she grows irritable as she repeatedly tidies her already spotless house.

Before long, the little fox she rescued wakes up and calls out to her, "Werwer."

Lin Yan pauses, and her usually stern expression cracks despite herself.

Why does this affectionate red-haired fox look more and more like a beagle that tears up the house?

Every night before bed, she regrets rescuing this fox.

After the fox finally behaves itself for a whole day, Lin Yan senses something is off and heads to the kitchen.

The once spotless kitchen is a complete mess. A big hole has been torn in the rice sack, and the red-haired fox is rolling around in a sea of white rice, happily whimpering with a raw steak in its mouth. She had brought the steak back from the city in the rain.

The downpour lasts two months, and Lin Yan spends those two months falling apart right along with it.

As soon as the rain stops, Lin Yan contacts the wildlife protection center, determined to hand over this fox ancestor and get her peaceful, orderly life back.

But when the police arrive and open the door, the little red-haired fox is nowhere to be seen.

Instead, there's a gorgeous woman wearing one of Lin Yan's oversized white shirts, clutching the snacks Lin Yan had hidden and timidly ducking behind her. Her voice is soft and sweet, her eyes red-rimmed, her face pitifully lovely. "Yanyan, who are they?"

Lin Yan is speechless. After the police gently lecture her, she has no choice but to take in the fox, now transformed into a human.

But in human form, the little fox becomes even clingier and more spoiled. She wants Lin Yan to feed her, brush her tail, and stay by her side every moment, even at work.

Before long, everyone at Haicheng University knows about them.

The ever aloof and proud Professor Lin Yan has a beautiful woman with narrow, foxlike eyes at her side.

People gossip in private, wondering how a famously cold professor could fall for such a flirtatious, high-maintenance beauty.

Lin Yan pays them no mind.

But one day after school, on a tree-lined path across campus, a girl approaches the fox beauty with a big bag of snacks, blushing. Her admiration is unmistakable.

Lin Yan sees it all. Her expression darkens, and she strides over to lead the other woman away.

On the way, the fox beauty keeps looking back at the girl and the pile of snacks, her eyes full of longing.

Lin Yan's gaze darkens as she tightens her grip around the slender wrist in her palm. The fox she rescued can only be hers...

Later, curled in Lin Yan's arms, the fox beauty is weak from being bullied, her snowy skin covered in red marks. She whimpers in protest, "You complain that I'm always eating, but you're the biggest glutton of all. And you only like eating foxes..."
