After Leaving Her Powerful Owner, the Little Fox Goes Viral

Preorder collection request: The blurb for "My Love-Brained Lovers Keep Dying" is at the very bottom

Blurb:

Bai Lan is a country fox. On his first trip to the city, he falls victim to thieves and human traffickers.

After escaping, his injuries leave him stuck in animal form, wandering the streets. Just as he is about to starve to death, someone takes him in as a pet.

His owner is cold and stern, but a good person. Bai Lan cuddles up, rolls around, and does his best to cheer him up.

Once he's healed, he decides to find a job and make lots of money to repay his benefactor.

Not long after, an entertainment company introduces a new star. One dazzling smile from the beauty wins countless fans, and his posts get millions of shares.

Where there are fans, there are haters: "A prissy, girly pretty-boy with no talent. Your entertainment company is doomed."

The "pretty-boy" Bai Lan joins a survival variety show. With his striking face, he works the fields and survives in the wilderness, earning supplies to support himself and his teammates. The huge contrast makes him the center of attention.

His haters stubbornly insist: "Is the bar in the entertainment industry really this low now? They call anyone versatile."

The most beautiful farming expert, Bai Lan, turns to acting. He plays a seductive fox spirit, born with an alluring charm and radiant beauty, and gains ten million fans as soon as the show airs.

Every drama he stars in becomes a hit across the internet. Viewers eagerly recommend them, his endorsements set sales records, and his travel photos boost tourism in a small town. Bai Lan quickly becomes a top young star.

After an event one day, fans surround him, and Bai Lan has no choice but to turn into a fox to escape. He turns a corner and crashes into someone.

He looks up, eyes wide. Why is it Mr. Fu?

Panicking, Bai Lan rushes home. When he goes out again, he finds people surrounding his home.

*

The Fu family head, Fu Yuanxiu, is stern and upright, and despises people who resort to underhanded tactics.

They first meet in bed. A beauty offers himself to Fu Yuanxiu, his collar hanging open to reveal swathes of pale pink skin, his eyes hazy and his beauty breathtaking, like a fox spirit tempting him to sin. Fu Yuanxiu sends him away with a stony face.

The next time they meet, the other man turns out to be the one who "stole" his pet. When accused, the young man lowers his head and bites his lip uneasily. "I didn't steal the fox..."

Fu Yuanxiu furrows his brow. How could an "original owner" who is clearly careless with his pet and only interested in taking shortcuts possibly look after that delicate little fox?

Unable to get his pet back, the two reach an agreement: Bai Lan will give regular updates on the little fox, and Mr. Fu can visit whenever he likes.

During one of his visits to check on the fox, Fu Yuanxiu finds the fox there but Bai Lan nowhere to be seen. Halfway through petting the little fox, it dashes upstairs. Its owner hurries down after it, clothes in disarray.

Fu Yuanxiu's expression darkens. "Who's upstairs?"

Bai Lan quickly waves his hands. "Nobody."

Naturally, Fu Yuanxiu doesn't believe him. He goes upstairs and finds no one else there. But before he can breathe a sigh of relief, he notices something strange: the little fox has vanished into thin air.

He turns to look at the young man, who seems guilty, and suddenly freezes. He has never seen the fox and Bai Lan together.

Could fox spirits really exist?

*

A paparazzo suddenly breaks the news: Rising star Bai Lan is backed by a powerful sugar daddy, and the two have a "fur baby." They post a photo of the pair together and a picture of the fox.

The haters celebrate: "Stop clinging to a big shot. Your skin's thicker than a city wall. Do you think he even cares about you?"

People gossip, and when the head of the Fu family attends an event, an inquisitive reporter asks, "I hear you keep a fox, Mr. Fu?"

Fu Yuanxiu nods. "Someone in my family does keep one."

The trending topics explode that day: #MrFuCallsSomeoneFamily# #TheyReallyDoHaveAFurBaby!#

Once again, awkwardly sending Mr. Fu a photo of himself as a fox, Bai Lan asks, "Didn't you say we couldn't let outsiders know about our relationship?"

Fu Yuanxiu asks in return, "What relationship?"

Ruan Yu'an is beautiful, naive, and hopelessly love-brained. A few sweet words and a clumsy trick from a man are all it takes for him to be deeply moved and throw himself wholeheartedly into a relationship.

His friends are exasperated and urge him to use his head: be careful around men, stay away from men.

Ruan Yu'an rests his chin in his hands, his face full of bliss. "He's really wonderful. You have no idea, he even bought insurance for our relationship. I'm the beneficiary, and he's my..."

His friend roars, "Are you crazy? What if he kills you?"

Ruan Yu'an: "He wouldn't. He's not that kind of person."

A few days later, his boyfriend dies in a car accident, and Ruan Yu'an cries until his eyes are red as he receives a huge insurance payout.

At the funeral, his refined and gentle boss holds an umbrella over the beauty. "Yu'an, this might be a bad time to say it, but I like you."

Ruan Yu'an's eyes widen, his cheeks turning pink.

"I'm getting married," Ruan Yu'an tells his friend shyly. "It's my boss. He's so wonderful. He proposed last night, and it was incredibly romantic!"

His friend wonders if he's hearing things. "You don't know his company is drowning in debt and facing bankruptcy? He's only after your money!"

Ruan Yu'an: "No, he wouldn't take advantage of me."

On the day they register their marriage, his husband jumps from the roof of the company building. Ruan Yu'an inherits the company, and an unexpected cash injection brings it back from the brink. He becomes a wealthy widower.

"Yu'an, what will you do now?" His husband's friend places a hand over Ruan Yu'an's. "How about I take care of you?"

"I'm in love again," Ruan Yu'an says, twisting his fingers in embarrassment. "He says he'll take care of me for the rest of my life."

His friend could tear his hair out. "You don't know he has a wife and kids? He's just playing around with you!"

Ruan Yu'an: "He said he'll divorce her soon. He's just too in love with me."

His friend: There really is no getting through to someone who's love-brained.

Ruan Yu'an can't live without the nourishment of love. Love makes even plain water taste like a feast, and luckily, his romances always go smoothly.

Lately, though, he's been a little troubled. He wakes up exhausted every day, strange red marks appear on his body, and his stomach is full. These symptoms seem to have started around the time he took in a little black dog.

His lover dies again. Ruan Yu'an is devastated, but the police break down his door and take him in, suspecting him of involvement in several murders. Just as he is completely at a loss, a handsome young man appears and helps sort out the mess of his life.

Ruan Yu'an's heart pounds. "Who are you? Why are you helping me?"

The young man gazes straight at him. "Si Xuan."

Because I exist for you.

*

At dinner, Ruan Yu'an is a little distracted. Si Xuan really is mysterious, appearing and disappearing without warning.

The client across from him presents a huge bouquet of roses and confesses passionately. "Yu'an, it was love at first sight. Please be with me." Ruan Yu'an covers his mouth in surprise and smiles shyly.

On a rainy night, Ruan Yu'an wakes with a start and discovers, horrified, that strange, sticky tentacles are binding his limbs. Slick liquid coats his body, and the outline showing through his soft, flat stomach is so startling it makes his cheeks burn. He tries to open his mouth, but a nimble tentacle slips inside

A shadow stands beside the bed. The young man, gone for many days, bends down to kiss his trembling lashes and lick away his tears.

His voice sounds as if it comes from hell. "An'an, haven't I fed you enough?"

"Why? Why are you looking for someone else again?"
