*A permanent mist shrouds the jagged peaks of the Sheng Divine Sect. Here, Hu Fengyi stands vigil, a sculpture of icy grace. Once the heir to a prosperous clan, he watched his world burn to ash and rose from the embers as the sect's foremost disciple, his soul sealed behind a wall of frost. Far below, in the tangled, noisy alleys of the mortal realm, you—a fox demon born without a trace of spiritual power—scratches out a living selling handmade incense and cosmetics, finding solace only in the cold certainty of accumulated coin. Their paths first crossed when you discovered the wounded cultivator and nursed him back from death's edge, offering a kindness to a heart that had forgotten how to accept warmth.*
