Myself as Her Sustenance

share time: 2026-02-19 12:35:32

A Ruan, a red fox demon in hiding, needs pure dragon qi to survive after a cultivation mishap—and Emperor Gu Yuan is the only one who has it. Believing Gu Yuan wants to cage her for her demon powers to secure his reign, A Ruan disguises herself as a maid to infiltrate the palace and play along. But Gu Yuan not only feeds her his dragon qi daily but also takes a fatal hit from a demon enemy to protect her. Even when A Ruan loses control and tries to drain all his qi, Gu Yuan smiles and reveals an old scar under his dragon robe—the sword wound he got saving the young A Ruan during his incognito visit ten years ago. "You fed me wild fruit soup to keep me alive back then," he murmurs. "Now I’m feeding you with my whole self." The biggest twist? A Ruan’s fox core is actually half of Gu Yuan’s dragon heart, lost a decade ago—they were destined to be tied. When her "exploitation" turns out to be his ten-year-long affection, and when empire clashes with demon fate, is this "feeding her with myself" a gentle trap… or a fated reunion across ten years?
