Summary
I was the weakest fox demon in the Fox Clan.
To escape the people hunting me, I disguised myself as a bride and married a young man.
He was handsome and refined, and looked as if he had only just recovered from a serious illness.
Feeling guilty, I took care of him for a month before fleeing in the dead of night.
On the day I returned to the city, I heard that the Young Lord of the Demon Realm, who had been recuperating away from home, had lost his beloved wife and, in his grief, slaughtered everyone on the entire mountain.
Three years later, with my clan at the end of its rope, they decided to offer me to the newly enthroned Demon Sovereign as his second wife.
All I knew was that he was moody and ruthless.
They said he had jinxed his wife to death and raised their young son alone.
Knowing I was dead either way, I forced myself to confess the truth the day we met.
“Thank you for your favor, Sovereign, but this humble girl already has someone she admires.”
The screen was moved aside, revealing the man’s languid, weary features.
He merely lowered his eyes and gave a cold laugh.
“Is that so?”
“Then I would like to know, after my wife abandoned the two of us, father and son…”
“Which family’s young gentleman has caught your eye this time?”
