The Tenth Occultist

Kun Chen x Hu Xiqing. A fierce, wild seme x a gentle, cunning uke.

Hu Xiqing is a fox who has lived for a thousand years, from ancient times into the modern era. Poor thing: a thousand years ago, his inner core was shattered, and for a thousand years he hasn't dared reveal his true form.

Kun Chen is a Qiongqi who has lived for four thousand years. This Qiongqi is a god who fled the celestial realm, and he too has had a hard time: after living for four thousand years, he was imprisoned on a sacred mountain for three thousand, then sealed himself away for another thousand after leaving the heavens.

One day, this Qiongqi and this fox meet in the modern world.

Important content warnings:

[Ensemble cast] [Lots of characters]. (Please pay attention: ensemble cast is a key tag. If that's not your thing, don't start reading.)

[Readers who prefer chaste relationships, proceed with caution]. (Very important.)

[Not exactly innocent]. (This is important, dears. Zhou Mu really did label it. Don't come expecting a fluffy little romance. This isn't a fairy tale. There is no distinction between the main and secondary couples. No distinction, no distinction, no distinction. Not chaste, not chaste, not chaste. This really isn't chaste. There is angst, angst, angst.)

[Past and present intertwine, with lots of flashbacks]. (Important.)

[Not just about the protagonists or the main couple] [Many characters get their own stories]. (Important.)

Not just good people: [there are villains]. (Important.)

There are war scenes, and some chapters may be quite brutal. (Important.)

If you prefer chaste romances, don't read this. If you're looking for a fluffy romance, don't read this.

If it doesn't suit you, don't force yourself. Just drop it, no need to get worked up.

Peace and love.

Theme: Peace and Love. Oppose war and cherish the hard-won peace.
