The Fox's Cry

Immortal Lord Boyi received orders to descend to the mortal realm. He was determined to harness the power of a spirit fox to realize his grand vision of bringing traditional Chinese medicine to the world. He also planned to subdue the fox, lest it become entangled in mortal love and trapped by worldly karma. What he did not know was that the spirit fox had no desire for mortal romance.

The mortal Su Nian and the spirit fox were twin beings, sharing one life. Mistaking Su Nian for the fox, the immortal lord supported her at every turn. To prevent karmic entanglement, he personally severed Su Nian's romantic ties.

The spirit fox constantly lent Su Nian its power, helping her break free of her cocoon. Once she let go of her attachment to love, the fox used the immortal lord's power to protect her as she traveled to Britain.

At Oxford, Su Nian defied the odds to develop a model for bringing Eastern culture to the world. With honors to her name, she joined the immortal lord in Shanghai's surging capital markets, took control of the larger picture, and brought integrated intelligent finance to life.

After tempering her abilities, Su Nian stood shoulder to shoulder with the immortal lord, breaking through barriers between overseas cultures and systems. Together, they built a model in Hengqin for taking an integrated Chinese and Western medicine approach abroad, bringing the healing arts of ancient China to the world.

As a centuries-spanning game of fate reached its conclusion, Boyi found himself at an impasse: if he separated the spirit fox from Su Nian, she would die; if he refused to choose, he could not return to Heaven and report his mission complete.

The immortal lord had calculated every secret of fate, yet failed to foresee one thing: the mortal he had treated as a pawn, the one who was supposed to await his judgment, had never been waiting for him to choose...
