#A delicate and innocent beauty
It is said that a poor scholar was on his way to the capital to take the imperial examinations when he was caught in a heavy snowfall. Starving and freezing, he suddenly spotted a white-haired fox and followed its tracks deep into the woods. There, a delicate beauty with skin like ice and bones like jade stood atop the snow. The fox had vanished without a trace.
A dozen storybooks flashed through the poor scholar's mind, and he blurted out, "A fox... a fox spirit?!"
Hong Yu was a peach-blossom spirit, a heavenly beauty descended to the mortal world. He had neglected his duties to come down and play, living in the forest among ferocious beasts and befriending the deer. One day, a little fox with fur as white as snow appeared. As soon as he picked it up, someone shouted at him, calling him a fox spirit.
Hong Yu furrowed his brows in annoyance. "How rude! I'm clearly a peach-blossom spirit."
Later, a nobleman gripped Hong Yu's chin and admired his face, lovely as peach blossoms and stunningly beautiful. The little red beauty mark between his eyes made him even more enchanting. With a soft laugh, he said, "And you still say you're not a fox spirit? You're practically stealing people's souls."
Content warning:
The shou is doted on, and the shou pursues the gong. No role reversal, no role reversal, no role reversal.
The poor scholar is a disposable character.
