"Hey! Don't die! If you die, I won't be able to get home!"
A Li's life as a fox is all about lying flat: if she does, the world will be at peace. But the clan leader has had enough of this shut-in, procrastinating lazy fox. While she isn't paying attention, he smacks her into the mortal world so she can finally repay the life debt she incurred as a child.
Yan Qingfu faithfully serves the emperor, but still ends up being manipulated by him. To keep his family safe, he is determined to die. Just when he finally gets his wish, and has worked himself down to his last breath, some handsome, reckless young fool appears out of nowhere and brings him back to life.
Since dying easily is no longer an option in this life, he will travel the martial world with her, making money, eating the best food, and having the best fun, so she can live freely and joyfully in this bustling mortal world.
In return, she will accompany him back into the treacherous world of human hearts, help him calmly solve a century-old case, and ensure peace returns to the world.
"I don't think you're here to repay a debt of gratitude. You're more like a mother to me."
