The White Fox's Ashes

“The story ends here. Thank you, dear readers, for reading the official version!”

Rise from the ashes, ready to die.

Song Nanxi was born into the prime minister's family and doted on by her parents from childhood. Her life went smoothly in every way.

Until she married someone. Her father died, her mother died, and her entire family was destroyed.

Fortunately, when she opened her eyes again, she had the chance to live another life.

Unfortunately, this time she had borrowed the body of a white fox.

And the owner of that white fox was the last person she wanted to get involved with.

Who could have guessed that the more she tried to avoid him, the more he kept her in his arms every day? “Nan Nan, stay and sleep with me a little longer.”

Sleep? No way. She had to get up and take revenge!

Pei Jinyi gradually realized that the spirit pet he had raised like his own child had changed.

It no longer ate the things it used to love.

It used to love being held by him, but now its gaze grew colder and colder.

He used to be the only one in its eyes, but now all it could think about was Song Nanxi.

Later, he even began to suspect that the two of them were one and the same. He thought he must be ill. Otherwise, why would he think a white fox was just like a human? And the thought that the white fox he held in his arms every day might be a human, and the very person he loved but could never have, was terrifying.

He investigated, calling on almost all his hidden guards, but still found nothing. Meanwhile, the two of them kept making suspicious mistakes right in front of him every day.

He couldn't find a shred of evidence, but his heart had already made its choice. “Whoever you are, if you need me, I will help you.”

He had given his heart away on that snowy day long ago. In his previous life, he had held back, wishing only for her happiness. Since she had not been happy, then in this life, even if he had to seize her, he would make her his.

Reading Guide:

1. An alternate world. Every plot point serves the leads, so please don't scrutinize the details.

2. The language throughout is simple and easy to understand, not especially archaic. I've done my best.

3. The heroine is a fox at first. At night, her consciousness returns to her human body. In both lives, the leads can communicate and speak through eye contact. The story focuses on growth.

4. In his previous life, the hero loved the heroine but couldn't have her. He defied fate to send her back six years.

5. The hero grew up deprived of love, is obsessive, and doesn't know how to love. The heroine grew up cherished and knows how to love. Their character dynamic is probably a slightly dark and twisted man and his bodhisattva.

Theme: Someone will love your soul without hesitation.
