The Classic of Mountains and Seas: Book of the Southern Mountains says:
“There is a beast on Qingqiu Mountain. It looks like a fox, but has nine tails. Its cry sounds like a baby’s. It can eat people, and those who eat it will be immune to poison.”
According to legend, the ancient demon beast known as the Nine-Tailed Fox will attract heavenly retribution once it has cultivated all nine tails. But if it survives the punishment, it can shed its demonic form and join the ranks of the gods.
She is a silly, adorable nine-tailed fox, innocent as a blank sheet of paper and ignorant of love.
Ever since she gained spiritual awareness, she has cultivated on Bailing Mountain.
After possessing nine tails for many years, she finally awaited heavenly retribution.
Overjoyed, she thought she would shed her demonic form, but the ninth bolt of lightning struck her into another time and space.
Not only did she lose all her cultivation, she also lost a leg.
He is the scheming, unscrupulous Imperial Preceptor of Beiyan, with the entire court under his control.
During an autumn hunt, she crashed into his arms and straight into his heart.
She is a beast, and he carries her wherever he goes.
Everyone at court knows that the Imperial Preceptor has no limits when it comes to spoiling his little fox.
No matter how much trouble she causes, he always cleans up after her.
When she takes human form, he stays by her side, pampering her in every way.
Knowing she wants to shed her demonic form and leave him,
he tries every means to change her mind.
No one could ever love her more than he does.
[Their First Meeting]
She ran wildly around the royal hunting grounds while fleeing for her life,
but accidentally ran straight into his arms.
He threatened to skin her to make her stay by his side.
She had no choice but to remain with this seemingly proper man who had a wicked streak.[The Transformation Arc]
“Mu Mu~ I can hug you now!”
The little fox, now successfully transformed, flung herself into the man’s arms.
He caught her. “Don’t call me Mu Mu. It sounds ridiculous.”
“But I like it...”
“You’re still not allowed.”
“Mu Mu, you really don’t love me anymore. Sob, sob.”
The little fox started to climb down from his arms.
He knew she was only pretending to cry, but he couldn’t bear to make her sad.
Holding her tight, he smiled helplessly. “Fine. Have it your way. Do whatever you like.”
“I knew Mu Mu loved me most.” The little fox immediately burst into laughter and planted a kiss on his cheek.
He stroked her hair. She was the one he held dearest, the one he wanted to cherish for the rest of his life.
This is a one-on-one romance, with a focus on sweet, doting love.
