A companion story to Song of Delusion
A darkening heroine who stirs up the winds of change × a villainous hero with schemes upon schemes
The central theme: Everyone has their own fate.
Blurb:
When Murong Yuyou was little, the person she hated most was the fox who always came to her house to sponge off her family.
He was always throwing pebbles at her, stealing her candied hawthorns, and sneaking off with the brand-new hair ornaments her mother had bought for her.
She cursed the wretched fox with all her spite.
She cursed him to wake up with bugs crawling all over his bed, and a hundred itchy bites covering his body.

When Murong Yuyou grew up, she met that wretched fox again.
She heard that in the years they hadn't seen each other, he had cheated and conned his way around, racked up a mountain of debt, and broken the heart of the young lord of Qingqiu.
Now the whole Eight Desolations was hunting him down.
Murong Yuyou sneered. "That's it? What do you have to offer me as a partner? A stack of wanted posters taller than you?"
The wretched fox narrowed his eyes, his long, slanted eyes lifting slightly at the corners. He flicked the slip of paper in his hand, his intentions unclear.
"Stealing the Turbid Heart Jade, breaking into the Chenji Palace at night, and attempting to assassinate the heir to the Heavenly Throne."
"Little Yuyou, yours sounds a bit more serious than mine."
