Long long ago, there was a planet in outer space.
Its environment was almost identical to the environment of Earth.
Of course, there were aliens living on that planet.
After centuries of reproduction and evolution
these aliens formed their own civilization.
One day, their scientists predicted that their galaxy would collapse soon.
To take refuge, they got on space ships and migrated to other planets.
One group came to Earth.
They refer to themselves as the fox people.
Earthlings from ancient times were terrified when they saw the fox people.
According to "Lost Records", a huge ship once floated over the West Sea.
People on the ship wore crowns. Their bodies, covered in white feathers.
They could fly without wings.
That was our first impression of the fox people.
To fit in, the fox people kept evolving.
They look like earthlings now and they lead their lives like we do.
The struggle between humankind and the fox people never ceased.
During the Tang Dynasty, there was a scholar named Dai Fu.
He was interested in the romance between people and foxes.
He believed that love was transgressive.
After he passed away, his son made an anthology of the stories he wrote.
The anthology was published under the name "Broad Records of Strange Stories".
This anthology was celebrated by its readers.
With the effort of the storytellers, the stories spread among people.
People got less curious abou the foxes. They became afraid of them.
The fox people noticed that the humans were becoming less friendly.
They had no choice but to hide their identities and blend in.

[Episode 2] This story is fictional.
Husband.
Young sir.
A Xi.
Mr. Beggar.
Hello, Tian Xin.
Are you free today?
I was hoping you'd go to the mall with me so I can get a gift for Jia Lin.
I'm sorry, Pi Pi. I have to rehearse all day.
I have no time.
Okay then.
Hello, Miss. May I help you with anything?
I want to buy a white shirt.
With red buttons. It has some print on the inside of the cuffs.
I know what you're talking about.
- Please come this way. - Thank you.
This way.
You want our basic white shirt.
It's your basic white shirt!
That's a relief.
Is this the price for a basic shirt?
Yeah. This shirt is discounted too.
We usually don't have sales.
Do you want it for your boyfriend?
For his birthday...
I'll take this one then.
What's your boyfriend's size?
He's about 186 cm in height.
His shoulders are about this wide...
About this wide!
I think that Large or Medium might fit him.
What's the difference between Medium and Large?
Our shirts are cut very carefully.
I'll have to ask for more accurate measurements.
Maybe you can ask him to come here and try it on?
Because we don't do returns or exchanges here.
I want to surprise him.
That's so sweet. My best wishes for him!
- Your trousers have been tailored. - Please wrap them up for me.
- Wait a minute. - Of course.
Please wait.
This gentleman here has a build similar to my boyfriend's.
If he can... Ah!
Oh, I'm sorry.
Please forgive a blind person.
Hey, it's you!
Your voice sounds familiar.
Were you the one who ran into that thief the other day?
Miss, if this gentleman is around your boyfriend's size...
A Large should work.
There's only one Large left.
We won't be getting more of this shirt during the promotion.
If you're friends with this gentleman...
Maybe you can ask him to try this on for you.
I don't think so...
If you don't mind, I can try it on for you.
Does it fit?
You messed up the buttons.
Oh, really?
I'm sorry. This happens a lot.
I'll button it up again.
Do you need help?
If it's not too much trouble.
What's he like?
Who are you talking about?
You're getting him such an expensive gift...
I want to know what's he like.
You're talking about my boyfriend.
He's a great guy.
He gets good grades.
He's just great.
He's much better than I am.
It does fit!
I'll take this shirt!
I'll wrap it for you then.
Thank you.
I'm sorry, Miss. But this card doesn't work either.
What about this one?
Sorry. We don't accept this card here.
Can you please give me more of a discount?
Can I pay this in installments?
Miss, if you walk down to the ground floor, there's an ATM across the street.
You can pay by cash.
Okay. Thanks.
Don't forget your card.
Please put this shirt on hold for me.
Thank you.
Sir, what can I help you with?
[Failed to read the card. Please remove your card.]
I'm sorry. This is all I have.
I'm 500 short.
Can I pay the rest tomorrow? No, I'll pay you this afternoon.
This gentleman has already paid for your shirt.
Thank you so much.
Can you tell me your contact information? I'll pay you back!
There's no need.
No, no... This is a birthday gift for my boyfriend.
It means a lot to me.
I can only do this much for him.
He's really important to me.
So I have to buy this shirt for him myself.
Miss, I think you've misunderstood.
I didn't buy this shirt for your boyfriend.
It fits me so well.
So I bought it.
This gentleman has bought this shirt in other sizes too.
What?
How could you do this to me?
Please don't yell at a blind man.
You'll hurt my hearing abilities.
That's not good.
Do you have any more in stock?
I'm sorry. This shirt is sold out.
You haven't told me your name yet.
None of your business!
Miss. Guan...
How do you know my family name?
You said "none of your business". Must be "Guan" for "business".
You... My name is Guan Pi Pi.
No one has four characters in their name.
I'm not Japanese.
Fine, Ms. Guan.
If you really want this shirt, you should pay me immediately.
I'll give you the shirt.
If you can't, I'll leave now.
Take care, sir.
That's right!
My family name is He Lan. Two characters.
My courtesy name is Jing Ting. It's two characters as well.
"When a man reaches 20, he must have a courtesy name."
"When a woman marries, she must have a courtesy name."
There are many two-character family names like He Lan...
So the Japanese aren't the only ones with four characters in their names.
Why are you telling me this?
Maybe I want to enrich your knowledge.
Please come again.
Take care, sir.
Hail a cab for me.
No. 56 Xian Ting Street.
Of course.
Mr. He Lan.
I don't know why I offended you.
I apologize.
Can you please give me this shirt?
I want to give this shirt to my boyfriend for his birthday.
He's going abroad soon. Will you just give it to me?
Mr. He Lan!
Do we know each other that well? Let go of me.
Mr. He Lan. Mr. He Lan!
Mr. He Lan.
Give me my sunglasses.
Give me the sunglasses!
I'm sorry.
Don't you feel it's a bit childish of Master Helan to do this?
The mistake happened once in a thousand years.
It's normal for him to get mad.
Good morning to you all!
- Good morning, Doctor Xiu. - Just call me Xiu Xian.
I must be the first one here today.
Doctor Zhao is already upstairs.
- Kuan Yong? - Right.
Why is he here so early?
He's expecting Linda.
Linda Li?
Yes, Linda Li.
Linda Li!
Mrs. Li, Look.
Mrs. Li?
You can just call me Linda.
All right, Linda.
Here are the cosmetic surgery plans I recommend.
You can choose from them.
I want my eyes to look like yours.
Then you've chosen Plan C.
You might have to adjust your nose accordingly then.
What type of nose do you want?
I want a nose like yours.
Okay.
I will send you a detailed plan later.
When will you be available to receive the surgery?
I've told you this.
You should call me Linda.
Okay, Linda.
When can you come for the surgery?
Maybe sometime during the night...
Hi, Linda.
Long time no see.
I didn't know you were here today.
I'm sorry to interrupt you.
I have a question for Kuan Yong.
Do you ever get jealous?
No.
Right... How did I get someone so insensitive?
Whatever I do, he never gets jealous.
I should ask you this, Linda.
When will you come for the surgery?
Please call me Mrs. Li.
Please take care.
Say no more.
I know what you want to say.
You're very welcome.
I finished the glasses. Give this to Master Helan.
Call me Big Bro. I'll go if you call me Big Bro.
Xiu Xian. You're here.
Master Helan.
Get some water.
Your glasses are done. I brought them back for you.
It's better for you to wear your glasses when you leave the house.
That way people won't see your eyes.
You won't harm them by accident.
- Xiu Xian. - Yeah?
- There's something else... - Go ahead.
Miss. Guan has seen my eyes...
So she might feel quite uncomfortable right now.
Then she's...
Give me an apple.
Bring this apple to her.
Okay.
I'll head over right now.
Wait a second.
Take a seat first.
You can give it to her later.
You're not in a rush?
I want her to suffer a little.
Pi Pi?
Is it your turn to puke now?
Does your boyfriend now?
It's not his...
It's not his?
Do you have to have that much fun?
I think I have food poisoning.
Pi Pi!
Girls must learn to protect themselves.
Don't do anything you'll regret!
You're too sick to attend the meeting.
You should go home and rest.
Qing Tan... No...
I think I can still do it.
You guys have really disappointed me.
Where are your original thoughts? Where is your effort?
The CEO of CL Qian Hua bought a mansion in the suburbs.
Is that really a story?
Turn it off now.
Qian Hua made her debut five years ago.
She became known for buying a French cosmetic brand.
She flipped the company around in less than one year.
More importantly...
Most famous people in business have pursued her.
But none has succeeded so far.
She's a beautiful and mysterious woman.
There is no news or rumors about her.
She suddenly bought a mansion in the suburbs.
And I heard a man lives there.
Can't you guys dig something out?
Maybe she's keeping a lover there.
A story like that won't sell.
Maybe he's her family member.
A mysterious business woman with a brother from another mother?
Nobody is interested in a family drama
unless it's about social norms or heritage...
Judging by Qian Hua's behavior in the past few years...
Maybe she's just putting up a front.
That story will sell 50,000 copies.
- She's a puppet! - 10,000 copies now.
I think this mysterious man gave her the company and even the industry.
A man that treats her like a slave.
200,000 copies.
I'll need to interview her.
I have a friend who works at a fashion magazine. I'll get her business card.
Pi Pi.
What are your thoughts?
I... I think that Qian Hua found a place for her good friend.
They've been friends for years but they have feelings for each other.
They're a bit more than friends.
Interesting.
Qing Tan, how many copies can we sell with her story?
This meeting is dismissed.
Thank you.
Pi Pi.
I'll take the afternoon off. I'll take you to the hospital.
It's okay.
I feel much better now. I'll be fine.
What's wrong with Tao Jia Lin?
You're so sick and he's just not doing anything.
I knew good-looking guys had issues.
It's not his fault.
He's been too busy preparing for his applications.
That's just an excuse.
What if you get sick abroad?
I'm not going abroad...
You're not going?
Why don't you go with him?
He didn't ask me to.
- Tonight might be his last night... - Hey, there's a good-looking guy!
Welcome!
What would you like to eat?
- A sandwich without the meat. - A sandwich without vegetables.
Are you messing with me?
How about this?
I'll go get two sandwiches. You can do the work yourselves.
I'll give you a bad review.
The service here is terrible.
Fine. You guys want sandwiches.
You don't want the meat. You don't want the vegetables... Right?
Please sit.
I'm sorry to interrupt you.
I'm sorry. I won't scan your QR codes.
Do you remember us?
Around four in the afternoon the day before... A car hit a bike.
We got your wallet back for you.
Right...
What do you need me for?
We happened to be passing by.
We got a bit hungry. We happened to see you here, looking nervous.
He happens to be a nutritionist.
- I'm a doctor. - Right.
He's a doctor.
- We have something to cure your illness. - You'll be healed in minutes.
Okay.
I'm sorry but I don't need any dietary supplements.
I have a friend who works in sales too.
- You should go. - No, No... We're not in sales.
We really have something that can help you.
Really?
I took a lot of pills already. None of them worked.
Here.
I know apples are good for you.
Thank you.
Eat it and you'll be fine!
I don't want it.
Apples contain different vitamins.
It'll boost your immune system.
Here are your sandwiches.
One with no meat, and the other with no vegetables.
Please enjoy.
Also, your seats are over there.
Remember to eat this apple.
Pi Pi. Pi Pi!
Do you know these two?
I'm not sure.
Two weirdos. They're friends with the weirdo I ran into yesterday.
I don't know why they keep bothering me.
I think they might want to sell me something.
I'll leave now. Cover me.
Take care of yourself.
You guys make a good couple.
One likes meat and one likes vegetables.
Who told you to eat the apple?
Where is she?
She didn't want it. So I'm eating it now. She left.
You didn't pay!
I knew all handsome guys were crazy.
Hello.
Hello, Pi Pi. Tonight is Jia Lin's birthday party.
His mom called and invited me too.
When are you going? We can go together.
I might be running a little late.
I don't feel very well.
You should go without me.
All right then. I'll see you tonight.
Bye.
What article is it?
The 10 most lonely moments in the world.
I've experienced 8 of them!
I've experienced 9!
I never went to the hospital alone though.
It's so sad to go to the hospital by yourself.
Guan Pi Pi.
- That's me. - Follow me please.
It all seems normal.
Have you had a fever recently?
No.
But I feel really sick.
Can you prescribe some medicine for me?
We can't do that if you're not sick.
But I haven't been able to work normally for the past two days.
I just keep vomitting.
I feel so sick.
I can write a doctor's note for you.
But I can't prescribe any medicine for you.
I'm coming.
I'm coming!
Hello, Mrs. Tao.
My mom made the bean paste herself for you.
- Come in. - Hope you'll like it.
I'm cooking now. Just come in.
Jia Lin. Pi Pi's here.
- Jia Lin! - Yes!
Old Tao, Pi Pi is here.
- Hello, Mr. Tao. - Pi Pi's here.
Jia Lin, Pi Pi's here!
I'm coming.
- Pi Pi! - Jia Lin.
You're here!
Jia Lin. Here's something for you.
Thank you.
I'm happy you're here. I don't need any gifts!
- What is it? - I'll get the door.
Black bean paste.
I'm coming!
- Mrs. Tao. - Xin Xin, you're finally here.
You look so good today!
Really? Thank you for the compliment.
You don't have to bring so many gifts for us.
It's nothing!
- Jia Lin. Pi Pi. - Old Tao!
- Look who's here. - Mr. Tao!
Oh! Xin Xin's here!
Look! She brought some wine.
It's nothing.
You didn't have to do that.
- Now that she's here, we can eat. - Of course!
- Let's eat. - I'll help you.
Xin Xin, why don't you help me get some chopsticks.
Of course!
Pi Pi, give those to Jia Lin.
- How is it? - That's a lot of food!
- Eat now. - How is it?
- Have some food! - Of course!
I'll get some food for you.
Right.
That's enough.
Xin Xin, you really helped Jia Lin this time.
I heard all about it.
That professor is so difficult.
- That's right. - Not at all...
I didn't do much.
Look! The wine Tian Xin brought is as old as Jia Lin. Made in 1993.
Xin Xin was born in 1993 too.
Pi Pi was born in 1993 too.
Right!
We're all the same age.
Come on. Cheers!
Great!
Xin Xin.
What are your plans after graduation?
Tian Xin got an offer from Ao'mei.
She'll go there after graduation.
Xin Xin! You're so accomplished.
I know you lived abroad when you were younger.
Your English must be so good.
Jia Lin is decent at taking exams.
- But he can't speak English at all... - Mom! Mom!
Will you just let me eat please?
Ao'mei is a big company. I'm just going to be running some errands.
I'm jealous that Pi Pi can start working at ground level.
She's becoming so capable now.
Really.
Right?
Pi Pi. Which company do you work for?
I work for a magazine right now.
It's an entertainment magazine...
Dad, media is so in right now.
Entertainment is a big industry.
Pi Pi's dream is to become a reporter who can change the world.
She'll seek the truth!
You want to seek the truth?
Right.
You're invading the privacy of celebrities.
- Your environment shapes your taste... - Mom! Mom!
Drink some more.
Okay. I feel happy today.
I don't think the environment is that important. You can be who you are.
Right, Pi Pi?
Come on. Let's toast!
Happy birthday to you!
Thank you so much! I'll blow out the candles.
Blow all of them out at once!
All right. I'll get the light.
Pi Pi, you asked me to bring this gift from you for Jia Lin. Give it to him now.
Mom, thank you so much.
I accept your thanks.
Thank you, Dad.
Jia Lin. Something small for you.
Happy birthday!
Thank you!
Thank you, Pi Pi.
Oh! It's pretty late now. I'll excuse myself now.
- Xin Xin, at least have some cake! - No, thank you!
I'm on diet. I can't eat sweets at night.
You're so slim already!
Thank you, Mr. and Mrs. Tao. Enjoy the food.
- Bye, Jia Lin. - Bye!
Jia Lin, you're so impolite. You should send her off.
Hurry. Send her off.
- You can send her off. - I'll send her off then.
Go ahead.
He's so silly.
We have so much cake.
Take a seat.
What's going on?
My goodness!
Pi Pi!
Are you all right?
Tian Xin.
I'll see you off.
I called a cab already. It'll be here soon.
- It's okay. - Go back inside.
Thank you for that shirt.
- I know it's from you... - Pi Pi bought you that shirt.
I'm only here to deliver it. She's not feeling well today.
You should keep her company now.
I'll wait with you for a bit.
Just go back inside. Go back.
Take care.
Hey. Thank you.
That's enough. My cab is here. See you.
Pi Pi, are you okay?
Pi Pi?
Mom, what's going on?
Pi Pi has been puking in there for a while now.
She's not planning on spending the night, is she?
Hurry and take a look at her.
- Mom... - Hurry!
Pi Pi?
Pi Pi, are you all right?
- Pi Pi. - Yeah?
Stay with me if you don't feel well.
It's okay. I have to work tomorrow.
Are you sure you're okay?
Yeah.
Don't worry.
The bus is here. I'm leaving then.
You should head back home now.
Don't worry. Bye!
Bye!
We always say that our gifts represent our hearts.
Because it's hard to open your heart to other people.
It's hard to describe feelings.
It's hard to convey your thoughts.
So we have to rely on an object to let others know how you feel.
If you're receiving a gift...
you may not understand it right away.
But sooner or later...
you'll suddenly realize...
that you didn't understand his or her heart back then.
