Yan Jue wakes up inside the pages of a xianxia novel—as a fox demon destined to die. In the original story, she's a disposable villain whose only purpose is to seduce the male lead, steal his yang essence to advance her cultivation, and eventually be run through by the heroine, Qi Xianqing, the aloof senior sister of the Zhenhuo Sect. Her heart is even carved out and used as a precious ingredient for alchemy. She doesn't survive past chapter 10. Knowing exactly how that ends, Yan Jue devises the perfect plan: stay close to the heroine, quietly gain cultivation experience, then flee the mountain before the plot catches up with her. The problem is that Qi Xianqing possesses the once-in-a-century Immortal Spirit Physique. Her blood is irresistibly alluring to demons. Every time Yan Jue sees her, her legs go weak. All she wants is to throw herself into Qi Xianqing's arms and bury her face against her. When Yan Jue finally finishes preparing to escape, the cold and untouchable senior sister walks toward her instead. Her knees buckle on instinct, and Qi Xianqing catches her in an embrace. Gently stroking the fox ears that have slipped into view, Qi Xianqing asks in a soft voice, "Don't leave. Stay with me, won't you?"
