The Fox Wife's Bargain

Scholar Chen Yuan moved to a remote mountain temple to study for the imperial exams. When a fox spirit appeared at his door offering a bargain — one year of companionship for one wish granted — he thought he understood the deal. But the fox, Mei, isn't just any spirit. She's the last of the Nine-Tailed Fox lineage, hunted by celestial exorcists. By hiding with a mortal scholar, she's safe. But the longer she stays, the more she realizes: Chen Yuan isn't as mortal as he seems. And his 'wish' might destroy them both.
