Zhuang Mingqiu was a beautiful little bird with rainbow-colored feathers. After an old scholar named Zhuang found him and brought him home, he gave him a name and cared for him like a child for more than a decade.
After the old scholar passed away, none of his descendants wanted to look after the pampered, high-maintenance bird, so they carelessly abandoned him in the mountains.
The delicate little bird, who'd been raised without ever learning to hunt, fell into a pile of bugs and looked at the food right within reach with disgust.
Then he fainted from hunger.
When he woke up, he was locked inside an exquisite, luxurious cage. He heard someone say they were going to present him to the King of Beijiang as a birthday gift.
The little bird chirped in confusion. "What's a... river beast?"
He only knew that the River God gave people golden axes.
Did river beasts do that too?
After a few days of not having to worry about food or drink, Zhuang Mingqiu caught sight of the legendary King of Beijiang and panicked. He flapped his little wings and tried to escape.
Th-this King of Beijiang... He's a giant snow wolf spirit!
He eats birds!!!
-
Duan Lang, the King of Beijiang, recently acquired a beautiful, plump little bird with rainbow-colored feathers. A faint aura of demonic energy surrounded him, a sign that he was close to cultivating a human form.
Since it was difficult for a spirit to cultivate, the Wolf King kept the little bird by his side every day, never leaving him, and looked after him attentively. He hoped his own demonic aura would influence the bird and planned to teach him how to cultivate.
But in the helpless little bird's eyes, the Wolf King was doing all this so he could fatten him up and eat him.
After several failed escape attempts, Zhuang Mingqiu could only act meek and submissive in front of the Wolf King, chirping humbly and trying to starve himself thin to curb the Wolf King's appetite.
His first words after taking human form were, "Could you please not eat me?"
"I'm so skinny, there won't even be enough meat to get stuck in your teeth. QAQ"
The usually taciturn, imposing Wolf King gave him a meaningful look.
He didn't have to eat him, but he still wanted to.
Reader's guide:
1. A beautiful, timid, pampered bird spirit x a cold, domineering Wolf King top who dotes on his partner
2. Set in the human world, where demons and spirits are very rare
3. The bottom is an innocent little bird unfamiliar with worldly affairs, not a complete fool. He can think for himself.
Theme: Never give up, even when trapped in a difficult situation.
