My sister and I are rare Red Foxes in this world.
With a single Red Fox transforming into a Nine-Tails, it can protect our clan and inherit the great legacy. My mother, in her desire for my sister to become the next heir, conspired with her to steal my husband and harm me. Little did they know, my husband was someone I did not want at all. In fact, I wished my sister would act quickly and end my life.
In the Spirit Fox Illusion Realm, the powerful Red Foxes are revered. Upon reaching adulthood, a Red Fox selects a husband to transform into a Nine-Tails, thereby blessing the clan and inheriting the legacy. After my coming-of-age ceremony, I chose black fox Ren Fei as my husband. However, Ren Fei betrayed me and formed a contract with my sister, ultimately stabbing me in the heart and leading to my demise.
When I opened my eyes again, I found myself back on the day of selecting a husband. In my ears was my mother’s anxious voice: “Hong Jiao, today is your big day; do not act foolishly.”
I... have returned? Back to the day of choosing a husband? Before I could speak, a voice echoed through the grand hall.
“Red Charming Princess, I am black fox Ren Fei. Today, I dare to express my feelings for you.”
Ren Fei knelt on one knee, gazing at Hong Jiao with deep affection: “I only wish to form a contract with you; I hope the princess will grant me this wish.”
A sudden pain shot through my heart as if someone had gripped it tightly. Instinctively, I looked at Ren Fei, who was also looking at me, his eyes filled with unabashed hatred.
In an instant, I understood—he had also been reborn.
"Impudence!" the Fox Empress scolded coldly. "Hong Jiao has chosen you; you must contract with her. This is your honor!"
How could my mother, who held such high hopes for Hong Qiao, allow a mere black fox to easily ruin her daughter's future?
Ren Fei remained composed and declared loudly, "The one I truly love is the Red Charming Princess. I hope the Fox Empress can grant my wish."
"Hong Jiao has a stubborn temperament and a lazy attitude toward cultivation; how can she be compared to the diligent and hardworking Red Charming Princess?"
"Though I am a black fox, my spiritual power within the Spirit Fox clan is also exceptional!"
I let out a cold laugh.
Ren Fei, you certainly know how to put on a good show. If it weren't for your knowledge in the last life that Hong Qiao was the designated heir of the Fox Clan, would you have forsaken me for her? If you knew that contracting with me would grant you the divine power of the Fox Clan and allow you to evolve into the rare Nine-Tailed Black Fox, would you still choose her?
I glanced at my mother and then at Ren Fei, feeling an overwhelming sense of irony. My mother despised me to the core, willing to sacrifice me for Hong Qiao to inherit the throne. And Ren Fei, in his pursuit of becoming a Nine-Tails, was willing to stab a dagger into my heart.
"Ren Fei, you are nothing but a lowly black fox with mediocre talent; how dare you dream of contracting with Hong Qiao?"
"I command you to contract with Hong Jiao immediately!"
The Fox Empress was furious, gathering her spiritual power and striking towards Ren Fei.
"Mother, no!" Hong Qiao stepped forward and took the blow head-on.
"Hong Qiao, you!" The Fox Empress looked at her daughter in disbelief. "Do you even know what you're doing?"
Hong Qiao nodded. "I know; I want to contract with Ren Fei."
She turned to Ren Fei, her eyes shining with uncontainable joy. "Ren Fei, I am willing to contract with you."
Ren Fei pulled out a Crimson Pearl Elixir from his robe. "This is something I obtained in the immortal realm, specially brought to gift to the princess."
At this declaration, the room erupted in astonishment.
" Crimson Pearl Elixir in the fairyland? That's a rare treasure in the world, capable of helping the Fox Clan enhance their cultivation!"
"This black fox has such good fortune?"
"No wonder the Red Charming Princess would..."
As I listened to the discussions around me, everything felt utterly absurd.
Crimson Pearl Elixir, rare in the world?
In my previous life, I had risked my life to enter the fairyland to help Ren Fei improve her cultivation.
After obtaining the pill, I secretly gave it to Ren Fei without telling my mother.
It turned out that everything I had done before was just a joke.
