I’m Not Happy with This Red String

Something major happened in Qingqiu recently. Tushan Zuiying, a female general star born only once in several generations, had actually run away from her wedding!

The good news was that the man she'd left behind was a frail Immortal Lord to whom she had once owed a great debt.

He was gentle and mild by nature, so he probably wouldn't come after her to kill her.

The bad news was that

the one who had captured her heart was a nine-tailed fox demon rejected by both her family and the Three Realms.

The fox demon was breathtakingly handsome, with long, narrow eyes that seemed to hold spring waters, and dimples that appeared whenever his lips curved into a smile.

Tushan Zuiying couldn't help swallowing.

This was bad.

She'd always thought she cared only for the world at large and had no interest in love.

It seemed this male fox was born to be her undoing.

She didn't believe the fox demon could have much sincerity in him. She tested him again and again, nearly risking her life in the process.

Until Qingqiu was suddenly invaded by a powerful enemy.

At the time, his lips were still lingering at the young mistress's neck, but when he was given command in the face of danger, he won every battle and proved unstoppable.

Surrounded by enemies, he carefully bandaged her injured hand and tilted his head with a smile:

"Wait here."

"I'll get rid of that garbage and come back for you."

His valor forced the woman who had planned to keep him hidden away as her treasure to see him in a new light.

But when she really tried to use him as a general, he simply lifted a delicate hand, cocked his little finger, and started waving his fan:

"I'm just a gentle, water-soft, peach-blossom-faced nine-tailed fox, after all~"

She couldn't see through him, yet she was lost in him.

Until the very foundations began to crumble. The Moon Clan's pursuers closed in like dark clouds over a city. Pregnant and trapped in a tall building, she looked down at the grim ranks of armored soldiers.

Despairing, she closed her eyes, ready to wait for the Immortal Lord she'd rejected all those years ago to grant her a peaceful death.

But then a blood-soaked figure stood between her and the countless blades.

He turned back. His eyes, usually full of tenderness and allure, now held nothing but resolve.

"Tushan Zuiying, what makes you think you're the only one capable of loving so deeply? I refuse to let you die in front of me."
