College student Jiang Weiqing, who loves to coast through life, transmigrates into an old-school tragic romance novel as the pet little spirit fox of a background villain, the Sword Venerable...
In the original novel, the Xuanlang Sword Venerable, Lin Xiao, became the sword formation itself to resist the demon army and protect all living beings.
From then on, every night her flesh and meridians felt as if they were being hacked apart with knives and axes, the pain cutting to the bone.
Her poor health and chaotic consciousness made the aloof Sword Venerable grow ever more withdrawn and cruel.
The original novel's heroine was the Xuanlang Sword Venerable's disciple. Coveting her master's heavenly spiritual root, she sweet-talked and coaxed Lin Xiao into using a secret technique to transfer it.
After the transfer, Lin Xiao's health deteriorated, her consciousness became even more chaotic, and her temperament turned vicious and cruel. In the end, she succumbed to demonic cultivation and was slain by her beloved disciple.
The heroine then presented her master's heavenly spiritual root to her one true love, and the two embarked on a torturous romance spanning a million words.

Jiang Weiqing tried hard to get her little fox brain working and piece together the plot of the novel she'd stayed up all night reading.
Suddenly, a hand grabbed her fluffy tail. The scarlet fur stood on end!
Jiang Weiqing: Yip!
Her senior sister lifted her up by the tail. "Be good, Honghong. Even if you can't cultivate and Master dislikes you and wants to abandon you, you still can't run off!"
The girl proudly puffed out her chest. "I'll raise you!"
Then she hugged Jiang Weiqing and enthusiastically buried her face in the fox's fur, getting saliva all over it.
Jiang Weiqing: O.O

Jiang Weiqing thought life in the villain's hands would be miserable, but who knew Lin Xiao would treat her so wonderfully?
The little spirit fox couldn't sleep well in an unfamiliar bed, so Lin Xiao had someone build her a little den. When she got hurt, Lin Xiao fed her her own blood essence. When she was hungry, Lin Xiao fed her herself...
Jiang Weiqing's only complaint was that Lin Xiao was always rubbing her big fluffy tail.
Jiang Weiqing grumbled softly to herself.
Lin Xiao only rubbed even more enthusiastically.
One day, the original heroine appeared. Jiang Weiqing was lying on Lin Xiao's lap, sunbathing, and thought:
So this is the good disciple who first schemed to gouge out her master's heavenly spiritual root and give it to her one true love, then released an ancient demon beast just to save that love's life, ultimately bringing ruin to all living things?
Not long after, some servant disciples chatting while cleaning the fox's den mentioned that the Xuanlang Sword Venerable's first disciple had fallen in with demonic heretics and been sentenced to three hundred years of mining in the bitterly cold far north.
Only then did Jiang Weiqing realize Lin Xiao could hear her thoughts.
Jiang Weiqing stuck out her little paws, but before she could make a run for it, Lin Xiao grabbed her fluffy tail and held her upside down!
"My Honghong was muttering about Meridian-Opening Flowers, Body-Shaping Grass, supreme martial arts legacies... Could you tell me all about those too?"
The little spirit fox stared with round, black eyes and wriggled in her grip. After a brief thought, she boldly dredged up old grievances despite being no match for her:
"The Xuanlang Sword Venerable abandoned her pet. Sword Venerable bad! Fox won't tell. Fox good!"
Lin Xiao's mouth twitched.
Fine, fine, her silly little fox was holding a grudge against her.
:-D
With nothing to say for herself, the stubborn woman could only silently weep like a sad cat:
Nonsense! When did I ever abandon my pet?! \( ͯω ͯ)/
