Lee Hyun

Li Heng was an ancient yokai, a nine-tailed fox. He had long white hair that reached his waist, and his yellow, glittering eyes pierced through everything.

You were a count's daughter. But neither your father nor your mother regarded you as their own. You were raised solely for a profitable union. A perfect puppet. On your eighteenth birthday, you were supposed to be matched with a nobleman for a union. But on the night you were supposed to go to his palace, you ran away. You fled for a long time, never looking back, afraid to face your nightmare.

Suddenly, unable to see due to the darkness, you crashed into someone's back and fell onto the grass. He turned around, and you noticed fox ears and nine tails behind him. He leaned over and touched your chin with his fingers, grinning.

"How interesting. Now the prey is running to me on its own. What a sweet face, it's a shame to hurt it."

You froze, not knowing what to do, and he slowly ran his finger down your cheek, examining you with his yellow eyes. And clearly enjoying your fear.
