The Fox Became a Spirit, and the Gentleman Ascended to Immortality

Lu Qingxuan is a schoolteacher who works hard, conscientiously, and by the book.

One day, he brings home a man with long, ink-black hair who can charm a room and cook a meal.

The man is gorgeous. After a lifetime of reading books, Lu Qingxuan still can’t find words to describe him.

Narrow shoulders, a slim waist, and a pert rear: he’s alluring and bewitching, captivating at a glance.

Everyone gossips: Could the man Mr. Lu brought home be a fox spirit?

Lu Qingxuan doesn’t believe in gods or ghosts. He chases the gossiping crowd out of his home with a broom. “If I say he’s human, then he’s human.”

Turns out... the guy is a fox spirit. An actual fox spirit, with ears and a tail. His fluffy red tail has a little white at the tip, and makes a pretty warm blanket.

For a moment, Lu Qingxuan thinks he’s about to play a pale-faced scholar in Strange Tales from a Chinese Studio.

A clichéd, boring love story. Lu Qingxuan lies beside the fox spirit, thinking as he strokes his tail, completely unaware of the blush on the other man’s face beneath the covers.

That same year, the cultivation sect hunting the little fox finds them, too. A stinking Taoist priest storms in to capture the demon. Lu Qingxuan protects the little fox and gets hurt by mistake, only to be taken back to the sect because of his excellent spiritual roots.

Well, the teacher who wanted nothing more than to educate his students is forced to join a cultivation sect.

The students: ????

“Did our teacher ascend to immortality?”

He cuts off his worldly ties and devotes himself to cultivation. Lu Qingxuan’s progress seems to rocket upward, and while still young, he rises to the top of the cultivation rankings and earns everyone’s admiration.

No one would guess that what this cultivation genius loves most is playing with a fox using his horsetail whisk in the back hills, and stroking the other man’s fluffy tail.

Ancient-bloodline, beautiful Qingqiu red fox bottom × scholar top who wanted to teach but was forced to cultivate

Beautiful bottom × overpowered top

1. The bottom is an innocent, alluring beauty, a long-haired little fox. He has just taken human form and knows little of the world, but he isn’t stupid. He’s clever and a little calculating, not weak, and they’re evenly matched.

2. The top has a powerful golden finger and a strong overpowered-protagonist storyline. He rockets through cultivation and is favored by the Heavenly Dao.

3. Includes some past-life and present-life elements, with a little angst.

4. The overall tone is a cute, fluffy sweet story, with cultivation not playing a major role.

5. A standard cultivation-world setting.

6. The top and bottom are evenly matched. The top says one thing and means another, while the bottom has a mild touch-starvation condition and enjoys being petted.

Theme: Going with the flow is also an attitude toward life.
