Pampered heiress to a wealthy family vs. a clingy, tearful, jealous fox spirit or a gentle and refined fiance
Liu Qingqing, the daughter of a wealthy merchant, found a white fox on the mountain. She never expected him to transform into an exceptionally handsome man and try to join her family!
She was engaged to the heir of the Marquis's household since childhood. She could live off her wealthy parents at home and, after marriage, live off the handsome heir with money and power. How could she give up her carefree lie-flat life for a man of unknown origins?
But this fox seemed to have quite a lot of money and influence, too. If he could let Liu Shannai live off him, choosing him might not be out of the question... He had a bewitching appearance and all sorts of ways to make her happy. Who could resist touching those fluffy ears and tail?
On one side was Lin Tingzhi, the gentle and tender heir of the Marquis of Dingyuan, her childhood sweetheart. On the other was Ling You, a bewitching nine-tailed celestial fox king. How was she supposed to choose?
A nine-tailed celestial fox loves only one person in his lifetime, but the person Ling You fell for already had a fiance. How could a fox put up with that?
Ling You used every trick he could think of to seduce Liu Shannai. He bought her beautiful gold and silver jewelry, took her to enjoy the sights of the mortal world, and let her touch his ears and tail. Liu Shannai's resolve wavered more and more, and she tried to reject him. Tears glistening in his eyes, Ling You asked pitifully, "Can't we even be friends?"
The dog demon said, "But the two of them are registered with the Matchmaker's red thread. They've known each other since childhood and are childhood sweethearts. You came out of nowhere, and your relationship has no legitimacy..."
After kicking the dog demon out, Ling You bristled. "I'll endure it for now. How could an ordinary mortal possibly compare to a noble nine-tailed celestial fox?"
Lin Tingzhi had watched Liu Qingqing grow up. When Liu Qingqing broke her father's antique vase, Lin Tingzhi took the beating for her. When Liu Qingqing went to a teahouse to listen to storytellers and her father found out, Lin Tingzhi claimed he had taken her there. But when Liu Qingqing ran into the military camp to watch the soldiers bathe, that was too much to cover for, and her father gave her a fierce beating.
He had always thought that he and Liu Qingqing would spend their lives together in harmony, but he never expected a fox spirit to show up out of nowhere.
A servant of the Marquis's household said, "That fox spirit really is stunningly bewitching and highly skilled in magic, young master. He's made Miss Liu absolutely delighted..."
Lin Tingzhi's usually gentle eyes turned icy. "Those are just fox-spirit tricks. Don't take them to heart. By the way, did Miss Liu accept the jasmine flowers you sent her?"
