*An irreverent xianxia story
Gantang had congenital heart disease and died at the age of twenty-three.
At death's door, she prayed sincerely that if she had another life, she wanted to be a healthy, free little bird, soaring through the heavens without restraint.
When she opened her eyes again, Gantang discovered that her wish had come true. She had become an injured silver-throated long-tailed tit.
But could someone tell her why there was a beautiful fox beside her, its fur as fiery as a flame, looking as if it could swallow her in one bite?
Her little life, barely warmed up, seemed about to end all over again.
Before Gantang could shed any bitter tears, the fox transformed into a breathtaking beauty in red.
Gantang: "Chirp?" So this was a fantasy world after all.
The kindhearted, beautiful fox big sister was named Chi Yuyue. She let Gantang recover from her injuries, taught her how to cultivate, and took her traveling through mountains, rivers, lakes, and seas, making her already cheerful heart even happier.
In Gantang's eyes, Chi Yuyue was perfect in every way, except for one thing: she was far too lazy.
"Little bird, let's go to the restaurant for a feast."
"Little bird, let's go sunbathe by the lake."
"Little bird, stay with me and sleep a little longer."
To sum it up in one word: a couch potato.
Gantang thought that meant she'd have to work twice as hard and become a mighty cultivator soon, so she could protect this lazy fox.
Until she discovered that her fox was an unmatched powerhouse, a demon king feared by everyone beyond their little circle.
Gantang: ?
Chi Yuyue: Getting stronger means I can slack off even better. Give her a round of applause.
The little bird decided this couldn't go on and became a career-minded girlfriend:
"A Yue, time to cultivate."
"A Yue, practice for just one more hour."
"A Yue, shall we go explore the new secret realm too?"
Chi Yuyue had no interest in the upheaval of the Three Realms and believed there was no point in doing anything but being a couch potato, perfectly content to wait for the world to end. She replied, "Sure. Whatever you say, dear."
Chi Yuyue didn't think there was anything good about this world, but Gantang loved its everyday comforts and bustle. So Chi Yuyue would keep this world around for her.
