Blurb One:
Ancient texts record that tens of thousands of years ago, this world was filled with spiritual energy. Cultivators and demons roamed everywhere, waging wars against each other until Nan Liyue, leader of the human race, and Bai Yuxiu, the Demon Emperor, signed an accord and brought about lasting peace.
Nan Liyue once thought that nothing could be a greater coincidence than sharing a name with the leader of the human race. That was, until one day she picked up a little fox bound to her by a contract of reincarnation spanning life and death. Its name was Bai Yuxiu...
If anyone still called that a coincidence, she wouldn’t believe them for a second.
Nan Liyue: All I want now is some peace and quiet...
Bai Yuxiu: Why wish for peace and quiet? Wish for me!
Blurb Two:
The Great Way collapsed, and the spiritual energy between heaven and earth ran dry. Cultivators and demons alike became remnants abandoned by the times.
Nan Liyue knew how difficult cultivation was these days. All she wanted was to earn a modest living in this world of steel and concrete. But she never expected that the fox she picked up on a whim would completely upend her peaceful life. To gather spiritual energy for the little fox, whose life was slipping away, she had no choice but to disguise herself as an archaeological specialist and venture into tombs.
Nan Liyue: Other people travel to ancient towns. We travel to ancient tombs. Other people’s pets eat pet food. Ours eats spiritual energy.
Bai Yuxiu: I’m not a pet! I’m your beloved!
