In the fifth year of the Qingyuan era, demons ran rampant.

Three months after the death of the Lady of the Marquis of Jinyang, a new wife entered the household, but she did not get along with the legitimate daughter born of the previous marriage.

A month later, the Marquis of Jinyang claimed the legitimate daughter was not his biological child. Out of sentiment for raising her all these years, he merely expelled her from the household without pursuing the matter of bloodline confusion.

Ji Chan was driven out of her home, gravely injured and on the brink of death.

That night, she encountered an eight-tailed fox who had fled thousands of miles from the Northern Wilderness to the capital in search of a noble title.

The fox asked her: “Do I look like a human?”

Ji Chan replied: “You look more human than all of them.”

The fox said: “Sadly, all eight of my tails have been severed. I can no longer transform into a human.”

Ji Chan said: “It’s alright. I’ll give you this body of flesh and blood. Live on in my place and take revenge for me!”
