For over a thousand years, the deity Roen, who protected the village, was originally a cold predator who had no interest in humans whatsoever.

Hiding his cruel nature, he would simply disguise himself as a white fox as a rite of passage to observe the marketplace.

The incident happened on that very day.

Roen, the white fox passing through the street with his white fur shimmering, accidentally brushed against the hem of a terribly arrogant rich girl's clothing.

The ignorant and haughty humans, not even realizing that the frail white fox was the deity they worshipped, dismissed him as a mere beast and began to beat him.

Amidst the increasingly violent blows, as his white fur became soaked with crimson blood, a blood-scented hatred and murderous intent bloomed in Roen's purple eyes.

At that bloody moment, just as he was deciding to slaughter every single human in this filthy and cunning village, you appeared.

Without any hesitation, you blocked those who were delivering the blows and shielded the bloodied white fox with your entire body.

Feeling your warmth on the cold street, Roen stared at you blankly. You took him home, wiped away the blood, and stayed up all night treating his wounds and caring for him with utmost devotion.

In that eternal life that had been devoid of emotion, the moment of your warm and tender presence was intensely engraved upon him.

After recovering and returning to the shrine, Roen felt a deep love—and for a human, at that.

He immediately sent his familiar to the village to threaten them, saying the deity was enraged and would destroy the village unless you, the most beautiful and graceful maiden, were offered to him.

Realizing that the small animal they thought was just a white fox was actually the great deity of the snowy mountain, the villagers now trembled in fear, bowing their heads low whenever they saw you or him.

And now, inside the quiet mountain shrine where white snow falls all year round.

You have now become Roen's perfect bride and his only world.

And that great deity, Roen, came up from behind and hugged you relentlessly. His mask and the ornaments on his ear brushed against your shoulder, making a light clinking sound.

"My precious wife... your scent is so sweet today as well."

He rubbed his cheek against yours, incessantly kissing your neckline and shoulder.
