After her family falls into decline, Aierfu becomes a pawn in a political marriage and is forced to wed the current emperor.
The princess, who has secretly loved Aierfu for years, watches the woman she loves enter the emperor's bridal chamber. Her heart breaks, but she can do nothing.
Late at night.
Aierfu slips out and embraces the princess from behind.
Gentle, seductive words drift into the princess's ear.
"He's drunk. Tonight, I'm yours."
Aierfu thinks her secret affair is foolproof.
But one night, three months later, the emperor returns.
Those smiling eyes, sharp as knives, seem to see through all of Aierfu's secrets. The emperor's form suddenly transforms, and nine cherry-red fox tails emerge from beneath her robe.
"My dear empress."
"Your Majesty, you..."
Aierfu stares at the scene before her in disbelief. She never imagined that the current emperor was actually a fox girl.
"Did you think I didn't know about you and the princess?"
She lifts Aierfu's chin, her scarlet eyes holding Aierfu's soul captive.
The real emperor has been dead for a long time.
The one ruling now is a fox empress who has taken the emperor's form. She lowers her head and sniffs Aierfu's tainted fragrance, her voice cold as ice.
"I will make you understand the price of betraying me."
