The Tragic Bond: Tushan Xue and Gu Hanyuan
The relationship between Tushan Xue and Gu Hanyuan is defined by centuries of devotion and ultimate betrayal. For five hundred years, Tushan Xue served as Gu Hanyuan's spirit pet, enduring immense suffering and hardship. Despite her loyalty, Gu Hanyuan’s affection was directed elsewhere, specifically toward Lin Ruoshui. In a cruel twist of fate, he stripped Tushan Xue of her skin to gift to Lin Ruoshui, effectively discarding her into the perilous Demon Abyss. This act of betrayal serves as the catalyst for Tushan Xue’s transformation and her eventual rejection of Gu Hanyuan’s attempts at reconciliation.
The Healing Alliance: Tushan Xue and Ao Lie
After falling into the Demon Abyss, Tushan Xue’s life intersects with the Black Dragon, Ao Lie, who was suffering from a maddening狂症 (madness). By chance, she heals his condition, forging an unbreakable bond between them. Ao Lie, moved by her resilience and kindness, transforms into the Demon Emperor to protect her, showering her with devotion. This relationship stands in stark contrast to her past with Gu Hanyuan, offering Tushan Xue the support and power she needs to awaken her nine-tailed fox bloodline and fight back against her oppressors.
Awakening and Retribution: The Nine-Tailed Fox
As the plot progresses, Tushan Xue’s latent power begins to surface. When Lin Ruoshui attempts to curse her and steal her soul using the fox skin, Tushan Xue breaks free by awakening her third tail. The conflict escalates when Gu Hanyuan, enraged by her rejection, tries to force her back. Learning the truth behind the genocide of her fox clan, Tushan Xue sacrifices her lifespan to awaken her fifth tail, drawing the attention of the Immortal Emperor’s army. Ultimately, she achieves the full nine-tailed form, defeating the Immortal Emperor and avenging her clan, before marrying Ao Lie in a grand ceremony at the Dragon Abyss.
