Summary
Halloween is the one night Hu Ke can let her fox ears and tail show without attracting suspicion. Then a handsome stranger reveals a real tail of his own. Her mother swore she was the only nine-tailed fox left, so who is Fu Junsheng—and why does his gentle attention feel so familiar? Between university classes, volunteer shifts, and shared meals, Hu Ke finds herself drawn to him. But a snake spirit with a bargain leads her toward a ruined temple and a forgotten past, where love, human cruelty, and a desperate wish changed both their lives.
