Fox Spirits Never Have a Happy Ending

Hong Liao transmigrated and became a fox spirit. As for her looks... well, anyone could tell at a glance she was no good. She claimed a mountain as her territory and became its boss. Then she rescued a gravely wounded mortal who had wandered in by mistake. He was as pure as snow, as clear as a gentle breeze and bright moon: obviously a good person! Hong Liao couldn't help herself and got intimate with him. As they were making love, she thought that their story was either straight out of Strange Tales from a Chinese Studio or the Legend of the White Snake. Either way, the ending was bound to be bad. Who could have guessed that once the mortal she'd rescued could speak, he'd introduce himself by saying, "This poor Daoist is Yun Buxu." Well, would you look at that! Yun Buxu? So she'd transmigrated into a book too? Before transmigrating, Hong Liao had read a book that featured a fox spirit who brought ruin to the kingdom. On the orders of the Demon King, she seduced the leader of the Righteous Immortal Alliance, hoping to use an evil spell to seize his soul for the demon world. Unfortunately, the fox spirit was a villainous side character, and only the third-ranked villain at that. Her name was never even given in full, and she was doomed to a miserable end. After being relentlessly face-slapped by the male and female leads and all the supporting characters, she became a pawn the Demon King discarded and died horribly in a raging inferno, reduced to ashes. The male lead in the book was Yun Buxu's personal disciple, the very one taught by the Dao Ancestor. The female lead and the other supporting characters were all Yun Buxu's trusted subordinates, too. And it was Yun Buxu who assigned them the task of killing the fox spirit... So there was a very good chance Yun Buxu wanted to kill her not only because she'd seduced the leader of the Immortal Alliance, but mainly because she'd taken advantage of him, right? At that very moment, her mountain's second-in-command was giving Hong Liao advice. The leader of the Righteous Immortal Alliance would be coming to their mountain in a few days to recuperate in seclusion. She'd surely had enough fun with the useless little "mortal" she had on hand. The Demon King had given his orders, so they should do this and that and pull off something big! She'd thought the endings of Strange Tales from a Chinese Studio and the Legend of the White Snake were already tragic enough. But the truth was, it was the freaking Investiture of the Gods... There was no happy ending for a fox spirit! Hong Liao: This is just hopeless. I've already done it, and I'm no match for him in a fight. I might as well pack up and run! So when Yun Buxu woke up that day, he found the fox spirit's cave completely deserted. He hadn't even minded that she was a little fox demon, and she went and dumped him first. This fox spirit, she's something else :D A beautiful but timid fox-spirit heroine X a lofty, mother-hen-like Daoist hero Preorder date: June 29, 2022. New blurb, so feel free to skip if it's not to your taste. [Updates daily, starting at 6 a.m. on October 4] The cute girl on the cover is from Shui Mo Dan Qing Chang Xia Yue. New book: The Cannon Fodder Villainess in an Explicit Novel Has a Truly High-Risk Job If Tang Li had known she would transmigrate into a book, she would never have opened this steamy explicit novel in the middle of the night. When she saw that the doomed cannon-fodder girl, who was killed less than two chapters after appearing, shared her name, she realized something was wrong. Unfortunately, it was already too late: she'd already been assigned to the role. She thought that with how useless she was, she'd get game over in no time. But, by sheer dumb luck, she met the one man in the entire book who was pure and chaste, Lord Changyue, and became his final disciple. Lord Changyue was the unrivaled number one cultivator in the world. He was peerlessly handsome, strict with his disciples, and kept his distance from women. Everyone was afraid of him, except Tang Li, because her master treated her better than anyone else in the world. He led her onto the path of cultivation, taught her swordsmanship, and personally forged her life-bound sword. He even rolled up his sleeves and cooked for her. He was just like a real father. Tang Li swore she would honor him for the rest of her life. If he ascended, she would worship him. If he fell, she would see him off at his funeral. Their harmonious master-disciple relationship lasted for years, but everything changed when someone else appeared. Tang Li fell for someone. She pined for him, tossing and turning at night. She was also old enough to seek a cultivation partner, and the man came from a prestigious family with a bright future ahead of him. As her master, Chang Kongyue should have been happy for her, but he wasn't. When the man came to propose, Chang Kongyue even turned him away without a moment's hesitation. Nobody understood why. Tang Li didn't understand either. Why did her master, who always indulged her, hate the man she liked so much? Confused, she couldn't sleep at all that night. Chang Kongyue came to see her and said casually, "Want to know why I won't allow it?" Tang Li nodded, eager to find out. Chang Kongyue leaned over her. His icy hair brushed her cheek and body... "It's simple. Take a good look into my eyes." She looked into his eyes and saw a fierce desire he had never shown before. Chang Kongyue: "I've spent years carefully nurturing this flower, watering and fertilizing her every day, tending to her with care and keeping her safe. Her blooming and withering should be mine to enjoy and control." Tang Li: "So I treat you like my own father, and you want to marry me???" ...After all that, she still couldn't escape the original novel's main theme :) Theme: Discrimination between species is unacceptable!
