To fool others into feeding him, Tushan Ling assumes the identity of the Qingqiu family's legitimate grandson. Who could have guessed he would run right into the real fiancee promised to the grandson from birth: Lingzhou He, a primordial divine dragon reborn as the future sovereign?
Fortunately, Lingzhou He seems not to know what the real Qingqiu young master's face looks like.
To avoid being turned into a fox-skin ornament, Tushan Ling has no choice but to humble himself, flatter him with sweet words, and pretend to adore him. But he still gets exposed.
The self-disciplined and proper immortal can't help but drag the wild fox up to Kunlun Mountain to teach him a lesson after being teased and flirted with like that.
Just when Tushan Ling thinks he's done for, a massacre suddenly takes place. Lingzhou He, renowned as the Three Realms' foremost white moonlight, is framed as a sinful immortal and cast down from his heavenly pedestal. Meanwhile, Tushan Ling suddenly becomes the beloved legitimate grandson of the Qingqiu fox clan, an outcast who has finally come home. His status is turned upside down.
Now the future sovereign, heaven's favored one, has fallen right into Tushan Ling's hands!
Still want to teach me a lesson? I'll beat you up!

In the fox's den, Tushan Ling says timidly, "High God Daiyuan, you should know I didn't save you. I just kicked you while you were down."
Lingzhou He has already fallen to darkness. He grabs the fox by his delicate, pale neck. Even if he's useless, today he's going to skin the fox and make a winter coat.
Tushan Ling sobs, "Foxes love eating and playing. Your trip to Kunlun Mountain kept me cooped up and miserable! Boohoohoo, even if I just wanted revenge, I wanted to punish you a little!"
Lingzhou He sneers. "How do you plan to punish me? Whip me? Lock me in a water dungeon?"
"You can't eat pastries before bed, and you can't drink sweet grape wine."
"You useless fox. You drink so much your ears won't stay hidden." Lingzhou He flies into a rage.
"You can't keep a secret stash of money, and I'll make you practice cultivation and study spells every day!"
"Anything else?"
"You can't look at pretty girls!"
Lingzhou He is at a loss for words. "What? On the road to Kunlun Mountain, you were even sneaking looks at virtuous young female immortals?!"
The fox deserves a beating, but this winter isn't very cold, so there's no need for a fox-skin coat.

"Immortal, Immortal, how should I torment you today?"
Lingzhou He can't even be bothered to raise his eyelids. "I hate foxes more than anything. If one came near me, it would make me sick all day."
The silly fox thinks for a quarter of an hour, then bravely leans in as though going to his death, puckering his lips and bringing his head close.
The book is casually tossed into the spring stream. Lingzhou He holds the little fox's head, catches his lips, and kisses him until his cheeks turn bright red, without letting him go.
The little fox had only wanted to vent his frustration and tease the calm, desireless immortal. He never expected the immortal to have long since cast aside benevolence. Instead, he walked right into the tiger's den and got thoroughly devoured.

Years later, at a private banquet in the Hall of Heavenly Dawn,
Lingzhou He, slightly tipsy, says, "Back then, I'd just personally broken off my engagement to Tushan Wei. I came down the mountain and met A Ling..."
Three hundred years later, the silly fox's mind is spinning so fast it's about to smoke.
So her husband knew from the very beginning that he wasn't Tushan Wei.
Then... why put on that upright gentleman act and trick him into doing everything he could to seduce him?!
You, you, you... outrageous!
The little fox angrily flips the table.
