I was a nine-tailed fox with a rare demon bone. But immortals and demons were worlds apart, so to marry the crown prince of Heaven, I cleansed myself of every trace of demonic aura. I even endured my clan’s scorn and took our clan’s most precious treasure to save his life. Yet no matter how hard I tried to please him, he remained cold and distant. When his first love appeared before him covered in wounds, he decided I had done it. He exiled me to the demon realm, where countless demons tormented me until I wished I were dead. A hundred years later, I was brought back to Heaven. This time, before he could accuse me, I knelt and confessed to every sin. “Nian Shu was unforgivably wicked. I should never have harbored improper feelings for the Crown Prince.” But later, when he saw that all nine of my tails had been severed and the wounds and kiss marks covering my body were exposed, he finally learned that for the past hundred years, I had been trapped in the Chunfeng Pavilion in the demon realm, day and night without respite. He knelt before me and pleaded, “Nian Shu, I’ll kill every one of them for you.” “Will you marry me again?”
