Summary

Xue Mei, daughter of the fox clan of Qingqiu in the divine realm, was branded the "world-destroying seductress" for allegedly defecting to the merfolk during the Ying River Rebellion. Crowned Empress of Qingqiu, she executed the Son of the Divine Realm with the Imperial Snow Whip and, while quelling the chaos, personally ended the life of her former master, Ni Shu. Soon after, her soul scattered and her body vanished, leaving only a notorious name behind. Six thousand years later, she is reunited in the mortal world with Su Xuan, the young co-ruler of the divine realm. Though their memories have faded, their bond endures. Upon their return to the divine realm, gods vanish one after another and mysteries deepen. Burdened by expectations and haunted by doubt, Xue Mei ascends the path of the God of War, while the cruelty and ruthlessness buried deep within her gradually come to light. In the end, victory and defeat—and the truth itself—remain unresolved.

Editor's review

The premise is ambitious: the backstory of the Ying River Rebellion, the six-clan structure, and Xuemei's controversial image all carry real tension, with tragic romance and power games interwoven—well suited to readers who enjoy deep-feeling characters in mythological settings. The weak point is that the opening builds its backdrop through a patchwork of rumors, with jumpy narration and frequent shifts in perspective; the early pacing is slow, character motivations require patience to piece together, and readers craving fast-paced gratification may give up early.

Reading tips

  1. Much of the opening consists of rumors from various clans; it helps to first grasp the main thread of the relationships among Xuemei, Suxuan, and Lingmu, then revisit the details
  2. Distinguish rumor from truth—the author often uses conflicting versions to create suspense
  3. In the divine-realm arc, watch for the foreshadowing of Xuemei's personality shift; it is the core appeal of the book

Is this book the love story of the fox goddess Xuemei and Suxuan? Yes. The main thread follows Xuemei and Suxuan's reunion and romance across six thousand years, interwoven with divine-realm war and power struggles.
Is Xuemei really a traitor? The main text does not settle it outright; her notoriety comes largely from circulating rumors, and the truth is revealed gradually as the plot unfolds.
Is the reading threshold high? The early sections have a lot of narration and rumor, with frequent perspective shifts; it takes a little patience to get into the story.
