In his past life, Cheng Yu set up Huo Chenli. A cup of poisoned wine nearly sent him to his death.
After being reborn, Cheng Yu became the lowest of the low: a beastfolk, and a little fox at that. He was fluffy and adorable, but he couldn't bring himself to smile.
In this dynasty, beastfolk were slaves, their lives worth nothing. No one would mourn them if they died.
To make matters worse, Cheng Yu had become Huo Chenli's male concubine!
Afraid of being recognized, he did everything he could to avoid Huo Chenli. But what he feared came to pass. Huo Chenli had changed a lot. He no longer smiled, and his health was poor. It seemed Cheng Yu's cup of poison had done that to him.
Cheng Yu was terrified that Huo Chenli would discover his true identity. He was afraid of pain, and he was afraid of dying.
But in the end, the truth came out, and Cheng Yu was locked up. When Huo Chenli arrived, Cheng Yu saw the guards bringing in a whole room full of torture devices. He trembled, wrapping his fox tail tightly around himself.
Huo Chenli casually picked up a whip. Cheng Yu met his cold gaze and fainted on the spot.
But when he woke up again, he was lying on Huo Chenli's fluffy daybed. Huo Chenli, who had been handling official business, came over and knelt on one knee to put on his shoes.
He heard him say, "What are you afraid of? Would I hit you?"
He hadn't before, but now, who could say?
Cheng Yu wanted to cry. He begged, "Can't you just make it quick?"
Huo Chenli only furrowed his brows, seeming somewhat helpless. That night, the male concubine slept in the main hall. When Cheng Yu woke from a nightmare, he found Huo Chenli holding him and soothing him.
Like he was a child, and just like before.
He said, "Baby, I've been waiting for you for a long time."
He also said, "Good boy, be my wife."
The prince's manor gained a little darling overnight.
Cheng Yu still couldn't get used to wearing shoes and ran around everywhere. Huo Chenli chased him through the whole courtyard, and when he caught him, he would bite his cheek as punishment.
He lectured him earnestly: "If you don't wear shoes, you'll get sick when you're old."
Cheng Yu pretended not to hear. As a result, after finishing the feeding up top, Huo Chenli moved on to down below.
In the end, Cheng Yu was exhausted and flattened into a fox-shaped pancake.

A friend once asked Huo Chenli, "Cheng Yu poisoned you, and you still spoil him? If it were me, I'd get revenge every day!"
Huo Chenli replied solemnly, with righteous conviction, "Why didn't he poison anyone else? Why only me?"
His friend was baffled.
Huo Chenli said seriously, "Because he loves me."
