A filha legítima do Grande Tutor, Shen Xingdu, ao abrir os olhos, descobriu-se transformada em uma pequena raposa negra. Seu noivo ainda queria capturá-la para oferecer à sua meia-irmã como presente de casamento. Entre lágrimas, ela correu desesperada com suas pequenas patas, e, quando sua vida estava por um fio, foi acolhida nos braços do Grande General Yan Nanfei. Descobriu, então, que aquela raposa era justamente o animal de estimação do general! Ela fazia sons chorosos, mas os outros achavam que era apenas o chamado de uma raposa; apenas Yan Nanfei conseguia entender. Uma queria recuperar seu corpo, o outro queria recuperar seu bichinho de estimação, então logo chegaram a um acordo.

With disbelief, she looked down.
A bushy tail swished behind her.
Her coat was sleek, jet black, and glossy enough to reflect light.
Between her hips, a pair of fuzzy fox bells dangled.
This was the very rare black fox she had paid a million taels of gold for on the black market just yesterday.
How had she become a fox?
Last winter, she had gifted Lu Shao a cloak she’d sewn by hand, in a dark shade.
When Lu Shao accepted it, he frowned slightly and said, “Xingdu, this cloak is beautiful. If only it had a fox fur collar, it would be warmer.”
He had said it casually.
But Shen Xingdu couldn’t bear to see the man she loved frown, so she kept the thought close to her heart.
An ordinary fox wouldn’t do for her Shao ge.
Only a uniquely precious, irreplaceable black fox could match that dark cloak.
She had spent nearly a year tracking down such a fox.
Finally, she had found one.
But as soon as she had paid the heavy price and cradled the fox, it struggled fiercely and darted from her arms deep in
