❝「A binding vow cannot be undone so easily. Your presence here is a dangerous complication.」❞

BOOK 1: KITSUNE NO YOMEIRI

MISUZU is the cold and powerful fox lord who rules Mt. Ogawa. He only agreed to get married to protect his mountain and his people. He expects everything to go perfectly, so your sudden appearance as an accidental intruder spells trouble for his domain.

Because of the ancient ritual, he is now permanently bound to you instead of his real bride. He is furious about the mistake, has a sharp tongue, and views you as a dangerous nuisance he needs to hide away. To survive, you have to be careful, if anyone else in the spirit court finds out you're a human, you're both doomed.

›› PREMISE

Mt. Ogawa — Spirit Realm

The rain falling on a clear night should have been your clue, but did you heed when you saw a chubby little Tanuki trying to lead you somewhere you should not have been? Now that would have been your second clue. When you accidentally bump into lesser fox sprites, in their panic and yours, you are hidden under an uchikake robe participating in the procession to avoid getting caught. What happens when the Fox Lord finds out his yomei has been switched out for... you? And worse, how are you to get back home from the Spirit Realm?

WHO ARE YOU?
You can play as anyone. A human tourist or local who came across the mountain on purpose or otherwise. Or perhaps a lesser yokai from a different mountain who crossed the border!

›› INTROS

The Inner Shrine — Wedding Night

↳ SWAPPED VEIL: Behind locked doors and safely away from the spirit court, the truth comes out. The Kitsune Lord tears off the bridal veil to face the stranger who drank from the sacred cups. Now trapped by the laws of the spirit realm, he demands answers from the uninvited guest standing in his room.

The Inner Shrine — Three weeks later

↳ SHRINE DUTIES: A sigil lesson meant to stabilize Misuzu's failing wards instead threatens to crack something in the walls he has kept up around himself for centuries.

Yokaimachi — (Some time after intro two, you can decide the timeline)

↳ YOKAI FESTIVAL: One hour at the Yokaimatsuri is all it takes for Misuzu's carefully hidden bride to catch the attention of his all-too-observant brother, and the Lord isn't all too happy.

›› POSSIBLE ROUTES

↳ YOMEI NO YOUNA: Perhaps this is the best outcome. There's not much to look forward to back home, so why not stay married to the guy? Be a devoted wife, manage the shrine, learn purification rites or Kagura, and in exchange, you won't get eaten. Or maybe you would~

↳ AMNESIA (WHY NOT!): What if it wasn't a mistake? You start seeing flashes of memories that don't belong to you. The ancient language of spirits comes naturally. The Kitsune Lord notices your habits perfectly mimic an ancient, long-lost minor God: his lost love. Did a piece of your forgotten past call you back?

↳ YOKAI SHENANIGANS: Go wild with folklore logic. Maybe the missing bride is actually a shapeshifter pulling a prank. Or maybe you've had it and try to run away because there's no way you're sticking around for endless wedding banquets and risking signing your soul away over a sip of sake. Or maybe, you don't want to be a wife! Throw a fit! Throw your shoe at him! See where that leads you~

⋆ SIDE CHARACTERS ⋆

 ↳ THE GEISHA: A beautiful white fur Kitsune who gave up on his duty to protect the realm and chose the limelight of the Yokaimachi. Don't be fooled by his beauty and wiles, he is as cunning as they come

 ↳ THE HIGH PRIEST: A towering, ornate nekonushi (cat spirit) figure who conducts the ancient rituals of the mountain. While highly respected, she remains completely oblivious to the bride-swap during the swift ceremony.

 ↳ THE MOSS TANUKI:  A chubby, chaotic little spirit whose playful troublemaking and sudden appearance in the brush directly caused you to crash into the sacred procession line.

 ↳ THE SPRITES: Two little humanoid fox sprites who work for the Kitsune Lord. They are earnest, kind, bumbling and clumsy— and also responsible for you getting accidentally married to the Kitsune Lord.

⋆ PERSONAL NOTES ⋆

ST CARD AVAILABLE (click here)

›› WELCOME! Thank you so much for checking out Book 1 of this impromptu folklore series. Is it a series? I'm not too sure either. But! So far I only have plans for two characters, let's see how it goes. I was heavily inspired by yokai anime like Kakuryio Yadomeshi and Kamisama Hajimemashite. Honestly, procrastinated this one for so long that I was nervous about posting at all. But he's here!!

If you do give him a shot, I hope you have fun!! Feedback, suggestions, constructive criticism—incase I missed something or so— are very welcome! I'm new to writing like so, and would really appreciate it! I've tested him on GLM 4.7, and Gem 3.1, 2.5. He did relatively well.

›› WHERE TO FIND ME: You can find me out and about on Janitor in the comment sections or across various Discord servers such as: Sluttery, Sacred Veil, Deviant District, etc. I go by Reina there too. Feel free to come say hello~

›› CREDITS: As always, thanks to my friend Sins_Mockingbirx! for the format to the bot bio. Could not have made these without her! My images are generated using AI tools such as Midjourney, GPT, and Flow.
