The White Fox's Lure

Shen Qingci was the most ordinary little Daoist in the mortal world.

His master divined his fate and declared that he was born without bonds, had no place on the immortal path, and had no hope in the mortal world. He was someone who should not exist, caught in the cracks between Heaven and Earth.

He watched over an empty mountain and an old temple, thinking he would spend the rest of his life sitting alone until he grew old and silently vanished.

That was until the night of the full moon that had shone over a hundred lifetimes, when a thousand-year-old nine-tailed white fox came back beneath the moon.

Her name was Hao Jin.

She was the silent guardian in the desperate moments of every one of his lives, the meeting Heaven's will erased time and again, the obsession hidden in the deepest reaches of the years.

Heaven's will cut off his path of cultivation, destroyed his Dao heart, and erased his existence.

Only this white fox crossed a hundred lifetimes of reincarnation, determined to do one thing for him:

Guide his broken fate, rekindle his severed bond with the immortal path, and open the true Dao of the ages.

The mortal world is noisy, and Heaven's will is a false obsession.

The gentlest defiance of fate in all the world

is the fox's return beneath the moon, and a reunion with an old friend.
