On her sixteenth birthday, her parents died of plague. Gritting her teeth, she sent her little brother to work in the mines and her little sister into servitude, all for the slimmest chance of survival!
Qiao Mu promised her a lifetime together, but after the Li family's "foolish young master" violated her and got her pregnant, he turned around and married a wealthy merchant's daughter!
The Li family threatened to exile her sister unless she sold her child! Before the pain in her heart could even fade, the "foolish young master," Li Hongxuan, killed his own sister to protect her, spilling blood across the barren mountains. Before he set sail, he asked, "Is there anyone who hopes... I'll return?" Duoli wrote in blood: "I do!"
The power of the Nine-Tailed Fox awakened within her, and the Li household's venomous women struck again and again: poisoning the well, smashing her shop, leaving her closest friend with a severed arm, and causing her benefactor to die in childbirth... Stained with blood, Duoli gripped her dagger as foxfire scorched the night!
Meanwhile, Li Hongxuan, adrift on the raging sea, struggled ashore. His homeland of Johor was rife with intrigue. He revealed his serpent-carved blood jade hairpin and stirred up a storm across the Nanyang!
Watch as the "wicked woman" with a birthmark wields the power of the Nine-Tailed Fox, rising from an abandoned girl in a mountain cave to a tycoon of the business world. The "useless young master" who feigned foolishness becomes the Dragon King of the Sea, returning on the waves with power enough to shake the heavens!
