Yun Yi is a little white fox left all alone on a wild mountain. When he turns five, he awakens memories of having transmigrated into a book and discovers that he's a healing-type fox spirit, the kind rarely seen even once in a hundred years.
Before long, someone will discover his identity and devour him alive.
To escape this terrible fate, he decides to go find Wen Jie, the original story's unbeatable powerhouse, and throw himself at his mercy in the middle of the night.
Rumor has it Wen Jie wields a vicious sword and guards the Thirteenth Bureau of the Demon Realm, keeping countless demons in check all by himself.
More importantly...
He hates foxes most of all!
Yun Yi clenches his little paw. "..."
Wah, no big deal! Be brave, little fox! Don't be afraid of a challenge!
The instant Wen Jie picks him up by the scruff, Yun Yi promptly raises his voice to a high pitch. "Arf-woo."
He's not a little fox! If he barks loudly enough, then he's a fluffy white Samoyed puppy!
Wen Jie looks at the tiny, scruffy bundle in his palm, stays silent for a while, then takes him back to the Thirteenth Bureau.
The Thirteenth Bureau, the most dangerous place in the Demon Realm.
It has imprisoned Qiongqi, raised vicious flood dragons, and suppressed a great dream-eating demon.
Everyone thinks that a delicate little fox cub won't survive a single night in the Thirteenth Bureau.
Who could have guessed that from then on, the Bureau's all-villain atmosphere would change completely?
The ancient ferocious beast Qiongqi is perfectly happy to be the little fox's mount, while an evil flood dragon from the abyss spends all day disguised as a pretty little collar, protecting the cub at close range.
The dream-eating demon, who can easily crush someone else's mindscape, even stands watch beside the little bed every night, carefully eating up all the cub's nightmares so he can sleep soundly.
Even Wen Jie, the god of slaughter who can level nine rivers with a single sword, starts awkwardly learning to mix formula, picking up a little comb, and gently brushing the fur of the little white ball asleep in his arms, belly turned to the sky...
He even threatens and bribes the canine clan elder into coming over to acknowledge the cub as family, awards him a medal for being the purest Samoyed, and takes him to a canine beauty pageant, where they casually bring home the championship.
Yun Yi proudly puffs out his chest. "That's right, I'm an amazing impostor!"
The entire Demon Realm is speechless. "..."
Have you people at the Thirteenth Bureau gone mad?! I've seen people call a deer a horse, but never call a fox a dog!!
