Xin Yi fled into Broken Cloud Cliff to escape her pursuers.
By chance, she came across a white fox hunting for food. She casually roasted a mountain sparrow for it, and in return, it repaid her kindness.
Xin Yi didn't want to get too involved. She would have to leave Broken Cloud Cliff eventually.
So she saved the white fox once more, thinking that would settle their debt. She never expected it to refuse to leave.
She might as well keep it. Life alone on Broken Cloud Cliff was truly lonely.
The white fox was obedient, especially after secretly killing any person or demon who tried to approach her.
It would secretly wrap her in a cold, fragrant scent unique to the fox clan, mingled with pine snow and fox musk.
It would quietly curl its tail around her waist.
The white fox, transformed into human form, would sneak into her dreams and try to make love to her.
Xin Yi would awaken in the dream and watch it, letting it do as it pleased.
The next day, Xin Yi left without a word.
The white fox went mad.

Xin Yi had to pretend to marry a retainer of the Gu family for a mission.
The retainer was graceful and charming, dressed in red and fond of gold and silver accessories. His captivating fox eyes were especially alluring.
The famous young ladies of Taicheng couldn't help tossing fruit into his carriage.
He welcomed her into his home in a grand bridal sedan.
When he lifted her bridal veil, she pressed a dagger to his throat.
But Xin Yi found herself looking into the same eerie, frenzied amber eyes from her spring dream.
"I've found you, my master."
A young, flirtatious martial-world assassin who doesn't know she's flirting x a lovestruck, innocent white fox retainer who thinks she's been flirting with him all along
