What To Do When Your Sweetheart Treats You As A Substitute

Shi Yue died, and he died a very unjust death. He died in the bedchamber of the current Left Chancellor, Pei Xuan, with a cup of poisoned wine sending him to the western paradise. Opening his eyes once more, Shi Yue returned to the year before everything had yet to happen. Living his life anew, he resolved to catch the person who attempted to poison him, and Shi Yue secretly swore: That lunatic Pei Xuan, not even a dog would bother with him! Yet who would have thought that he would see Pei Xuan, who had once wielded supreme power over the imperial court, currently being treated as a juggling act for the amusement of nobles, how utterly cruel. Looking at Pei Xuan’s face one that was both similar yet covered in countless scars, Shi Yue saw his stubborn eyes shining intensely, looking truly identical to the youth in his memory. Shi Yue sighed: Save him once, just this once. After Shi “infatuated by beauty” Yue had saved him several times. Shi Yue said, “For a period of one year, you shall serve as my personal bodyguard. After one year, we shall part ways.” Ever since then, all the young gentlemen of the capital discovered that behind the young marquis of the Marquis of Anding’s Estate, there was an extra tail following him wherever he went. Whenever anyone approached Shi Yue, that “tail” would bare its teeth and hiss at them with its fur standing on end, guarding its own possession like an animal protecting its food. Later on, Shi Yue earnestly advised him, “The one-year pact has already arrived; why are you still lingering around me?” Just as he finished speaking, Shi Yue closed his eyes and was rendered unconscious by a knockout drug. Opening his eyes again, he saw eight large tails behind Pei Xuan swishing about, while Pei Xuan gazed at him with a sinister expression. What? The dignified Left Chancellor turned out to be a fox demon! The eight massive white fox tails beside him wrapped around him so tightly that not a breath of air could get through. The man in dark-robed attire squatted down before him, his face bearing its habitual gloominess, “You treated me as a substitute?” The fluffy fox ears on the man’s head trembled slightly with his master’s questioning, “Then if I kill your old flame, will Older Brother only love me alone?” Shi Yue, currently situated inside a fox den while massaging his aching waist, felt so regretful he slapped his own thigh, “Had I known you couldn’t afford to lose, I wouldn’t have saved you in the first place!” Pei Xuan was an eight-tailed fox demon; if one asked why it wasn’t nine tails, even Pei Xuan himself was not entirely sure. He had unintentionally fallen into a mortal trap, forced to perform skills and work for a living, only to unexpectedly be saved by a human who looked like he didn’t even have a few ounces of flesh on him. Later on, this human protected him and cherished him. Since this human was so good, he didn’t mind revealing his fluffy ears to be petted by him. As a result, he never expected that this damned human would actually treat him as some sort of substitute! Thus, Pei Xuan angrily seized this human and dragged him away, hiding him inside his own fox den. Later on, Pei Xuan finally understood why he was an eight-tailed fox. It turned out that the destiny of this lifetime was exchanged at the cost of him severing one of his own tails, and this human was the beloved partner he had infatuatedly yearned for across two lifetimes. — Description from novelcodex.orgFull novel: What To Do When Your Sweetheart Treats You As A Substitute — read the rest free on N​o⁠v​e⁠l​C⁠o​d⁠e​x⁠.​o⁠r​g⁠
