Qi Qi, the mute princess of the Qingqiu Fox Clan, was born without a tail. After sacrificing herself in her previous life, she is reborn with her memories intact. In her new life, her inner thoughts can be heard by her father, the Emperor. Gradually, Qi Shiheng uncovers the treacherous schemes of his favored consort, the Empress Dowager, and the Canglang King. Father and daughter overcome their estrangement and learn to rely on each other. Along the way, Qi Qi foils numerous deadly plots, quells the turmoil of war, and grows into a six-tailed Crown Princess. Qi Shiheng dies after suffering a blood curse while searching for a life-saving snow lotus. Later, a devastating flood breaks out in Qingzhou, caused by bone witch Gu insects. Qi Qi bravely steps forward, merges with the earth's ley lines, and awakens her nine tails, finally eradicating the disaster. She eventually ascends the throne as the female Emperor and, alongside the ever-loyal Xiao Dongzi, protects the people of Qingqiu and ushers in an era of lasting peace and prosperity.
