Long long ago, there was a planet in outer space.
Its environment was almost identical to Earth’s environment.
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.
The earthlings of 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 lead their lives like we do.
The struggle between the humans 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 grew less curious about foxes. They became afraid of them.
Fox people noticed that the humans were becoming less friendly.
They had no choice but to hide their identities and blend in.

[Episode 3] [The story is fictional.]
Hui Yan?
Is that you?
How'd you know it was me?
I just knew.
What are you doing?
I'm moon-tanning.
Why?
Because my father said that the moonshine will make me stronger.
But moon-tanning often does get annoying.
I'll keep you company.
Great!
A Xi!
Yeah?
A Xi?
I think you can see your own heart if you stare at the moon for a while.
Really?
I hope one day, we can look at the moon together.
That day will come.
It will surely come.
Ms. Qian Hua, Ms. Zhang Nan is here.
I got it.
Hello, Qian Hua. I'm Zhang Nan from "Mood" Magazine.
Hello.
Thank you for agreeing to do this interview.
Not at all.
Shall we begin then?
Please sit.
I'm a loyal customer of the CL brand.
My first question is, why do people find the brand to be so charming?
It's natural.
Is there anything else?
That's it.
A woman as outstanding and beautiful as you are must have many suitors, right?
Ms. Zhang.
Are you really a loyal customer of ours?
Our motto at CL is "natural and environment-friendly."
All of our customers know that.
We never test any of our products on animals.
All the ingredients we use are organic.
I do know that.
- I usually... - None of what you're wearing is ours.
If you want to say that you care about the environment, I'll tell you this...
The makeup you're wearing right now isn't at all good to the environment.
Your lipstick for example...
More than a 100 lab mice, 700 rabbits and 200 monkeys
were experimented on before its production in 1979.
They had to endure having this lipstick smeared on their eyeballs everyday.
They got injected with it.
They were massacred after the experiment.
Do you think it's worth it for them to sacrifice their lives
for your mediocre face?
You can't possibly think that you'll get anything by asking silly questions.
You can't be that stupid.
Ms. Huang Xuan.
What? Are you surprised that I know your real name?
My secretary confirms the identity of every reporter who wants to see me.
You can't fool me with a fake business card.
Did you hurt your brain eating that bad lipstick?
- Well... I... - Wait a minute.
I can't let you leave without anything since you've come all the way here.
Liu Ran! This is our lipstick for next season.
No animals were harmed during the production process. It's all natural.
I think this is a good color for you.
You should try it on.
Thank you, Ms. Qian Hua. I'll excuse myself then.
Don't leave your corpse behind.
Long time no see. I can see you haven't changed at all.
What are you doing here?
Master Helan wanted me to bring some stuff to you.
He said you'd find it useful.
The old address for fox people.
Why do you need this?
The old records he gave me were illegible at some places.
I can't decipher them myself.
I need to find some elders who have lived in seclusion for thousands of years.
They might be the only people in our fox clan who can read these.
So many years have passed. You don't even know if they're still around.
Convey this to the priest for me. I'll finish this in time, no matter what.
It doesn't matter.
It's been years.
If we can't find it this time, we'll find it the next time.
You can't be the only one who understands the classics of our people.
- Master Helan wanted you to... - There's something else.
Tell priest that if he needs me, send the other guy next time.
He's more quiet.
You dislike me that much?
Fine, I'll get going then.
Qian Hua is definitely a sociopath.
She dared to say that I wasn't pretty. She must have had so many surgeries.
What's wrong? Did you fail to interview her?
Not only did I fail...
She even knew my real name.
It seems that we can't get anything from Qian Hua.
Why don't we try to approach this millionaire?
There's very little information on the guy.
There's no way to approach him.
I heard that his name is He Lan.
He Lan?
I'll try to interview Mr. He then.
It's Mr. Helan.
Helan is his family name.
Then I'll try to approach Mr. Helan.
You've blown your cover already.
You won't be able to talk to him.
Who else do we have?
All of you guys are famous paparazzi.
I bet you're all on his block list.
Pi Pi! Pi Pi!
Oh... Ah! I feel terrible...
Nobody's home?
Ugh!
Is it okay to treat a sick person like this?
Where is everyone?
How long do I have to wait for?
Hey, Xiao Ju?
What are you doing?
I'm on a mission right now.
You're on a mission?
What is it?
I need to sneak some pictures.
Sneak pictures?
You're really becoming a paparazzo?
I thought you wanted to be a political reporter?
That's my dream.
But I have to secure my income now.
I can't talk right now. I'll talk to you soon.
Bye!
Big Brother, I beg you to come out now.
You there.
What are you doing?
You're awake now?
Eat these please.
I don't want to eat apples.
You have to eat it.
Open up.
Why don't you eat this?
I want to go home.
Eat the apple first.
You can just take one bite.
What if I refuse to eat it?
Then I'll wait.
I'll wait all night.
I'll wait till you eat it.
Thank you.
Hey!
You're such a weirdo.
You're actually quite good-looking.
You have nice skin.
You have a good nose too.
You're rich and good-looking.
You're quite fit too.
But God is quite fair...
He gave you so much.
But he took away your sight.
Hey!
Hey! Hey!
What do you want?
When did you wake up?
I wasn't sleeping.
You weren't asleep... So you... I said...
I was talking so much, but you didn't give a single response.
I wanted to see how long you'd keep talking.
It's a trap!
What are you doing here?
I'm moon-tanning.
Moon-tanning?
I've only heard about sun-tanning.
Who lies in the moonlight?
Have you ever tried it?
No.
I think I've done it in my dreams.
I don't know.
Were you trying to sneak a picture of me from that tree?
I wouldn't have come if I knew it was you.
Are you not blind?
You can see me now.
I just have day blindness.
Day blindness?
What is that?
I can't see during the day.
I gain my sight back around dusk.
It's the opposite of night blindness.
You're definitely making that up.
But thanks for saving me.
I'll leave now.
The pace of life is so fast these days.
You rush into everything.
Why don't you lie in the moonlight with me?
You'll forget all your worries when you stare at the moon.
The moon is so beautiful tonight.
You're right.
I feel like my worries are disappearing.
Hey, when did you start moon-tanning?
When I was just a kid...
There was a girl...
She bathed in the moonlight with me.
She was really beautiful.
But I couldn't even see at night back then.
When I was finally able to see... she wasn't there anymore.
That's so sad.
Did she move away? Did you lose her contact information?
Why didn't you exchange WeChats?
I don't know why.
But when I'm in the moonlight like this, I feel like I can see my true heart.
Why are you staring at me?
According to Astrology, the sun represents our subjective consciousness.
The moon is the opposite.
The moon represents our deeper subconsciousness.
So you are right.
The moon is your true heart.
I don't get it, but that's cool.
What does that mean?
Hang that outfit over there.
Of course.
Hello.
Qian Hua?
Have we met before?
No, no. We've never met before.
Mr. Helan is busy. He has left.
He was worried that you might not have a spare outfit for work.
I'm his only female friend.
So he asked me to bring some clothes for you.
I don't know which style you prefer.
So I just brought some random clothes.
You can choose for yourself.
It's really okay!
I can just wear my own clothes.
You're going to work.
Is it really okay to dress like that?
It's okay. We're very casual at the magazine.
I don't know if these suit me...
It's okay. You can take your time.
Helan wanted me to give you this.
What's this?
He'll contact you himself.
I'll get going then.
Thank you!
How about this one?
Master Helan, we've arrived.
This should be the right place.
I can feel the energy from the pearl of charms.
Listen.
She died 100 years ago, during the war.
I was in the south back then.
I didn't even get to see her one last time.
Now we've lost the pearl too.
What? Have I repeated myself again?
Oh, not at all. Not at all!
You can repeat it all you want if it makes you happy.
When should we get moving? Right now?
Now? We can't do it now.
I just checked.
This insurance company is very reliable.
Their system is carefully designed.
It'll be hard to do anything...
You take care of the system when the time comes.
I'll do it.
Kuan Yong, you're being silly again.
Let me kindly remind you...
The security system in there is no joke.
If you force your way in, they might catch you and turn you into a scarf.
I won't be able to help you then.
But I guess that's fine.
Don't worry.
If you really become a scarf, I'll make sure to buy you.
Now that we've found it, we can't just give up like this.
Let's just do it tonight, as we planned.
What are you doing?
Sorry, we're just driving by.
It's quite nice here. So we stopped to take a look.
You can't park here. Please drive away now.
Sure.
Which fool's idea was it to park here?
Save it. Just go.
[Ralph's Auction. No. 105] Ralph's Auction. No. 105?
VIP?
Please stop the bus! I need to get off!
This way?
Careful!
I found out that Mr. Helan is especially interested in antiques.
The pieces they moved into his house...
All the furniture pieces at his home are cultural relics.
So he must be very interested in this auction.
This is the first time Helan and Qian Hua are attending the same public event.
We must take advantage of this opportunity.
We'll find out how these two are really related.
Pi Pi.
Did you get any information yesterday?
I... I...
I didn't get anything.
It's okay. It's not surprising that they're hard to deal with.
But we'll send you to this auction.
You must think of ways to approach them.
I don't agree with letting her go to this auction.
We can find a dress for her very easily.
But I don't think she can even find the entrance when she gets there.
- I... - That's right...
You were so sick yesterday. Are you feeling better?
I'm fine now!
Do you need two more days off?
Wang Xuan can do your work for you.
No. I can do it.
I did some research.
Only a limited number of VIPs have invitations to this auction.
Other guests must buy tickets to get in.
I got a ticket through my uncle.
You should just rest some more.
It's okay.
Wang Xuan, why don't you think of some other ways?
Try your best to get Pi Pi a ticket too.
The two of you can cover each other.
If you can't get in, just wait outside, Pi Pi.
Block them when they're leaving.
I won't have time to take care of her there.
All right. The meeting is dismissed.
Are you free tonight?
I need to go to an auction tonight. I'm sorry.
Okay. I understand.
Xiao Ju!
Can I use your printer?
They watch me like hawks at my company.
They're watching like hawks.
Why are you guys here again?
Mr. Helan said that your outfit doesn't fit the dress code for the auction.
He asked us to bring you this. He hopes you'll attend it.
He wants you there.
We'll see you tonight then!
How can you be sure that I'll go?
Are you not going? Fine!
You can give back the invitation then.
Okay.
There you are.
Miss. Guan, Mr. Helan invited you for a reason.
You have to be there.
What's his reason?
I can't tell you yet.
Then I'm not going.
Do you have other plans?
My company wants me to...
I'm not going.
You can just view it as a normal date.
Mr. Helan has arranged everything for you.
Listen to me. I have a boyfriend.
Do you rich guys think that every girl wants to date you?
Ms. Guan, Mr. Helan said that he'd let you interview him all day tomorrow
if you go to the auction with him tonight.
It'll be a private interview.
Ms. Guan.
You should think about it.
Xiao Ju, where's the printer?
- It's in the pantry. - Where is that?
- It's over here. - All right.
- Enjoy it while it's warm. - Thanks.
- I'm good. - Just try it.
It tastes great!
Wait here. I'll go talk to her.
Visa application? Are you going abroad?
No... I'm just doing some research.
You're looking at a tourist visa. You can't stay long using that visa.
Huh? Then what should I do to stay there a bit longer?
Get married.
If Tao Jia Lin marries you, you can go there as his wife.
You're so annoying. He hasn't even mentioned marriage.
So you are aware of that.
Xiao Ju. See you next time.
- Okay. - By the way...
Five o'clock. Don't forget it!
- Bye. - I got it. Bye!
What's going on?
He mentioned that there's an event tonight.
His ex-girlfriend will be there. She is the jealous type.
He wants me to pretend to be his girlfriend to piss her off.
Do you really need to help him this much?
We are buddies. Buddies cover each other, right?
Besides, he's so indecisive. I'm much more reliable than he is.
I'll never fall for a guy like him.
Who said anything about "falling for him"?
I didn't say that I fell for him either.
I just don't get why his girlfriend is so obsessed with him.
Hello.
Hello. Is this Miss. Guan?
This is Theme Restaurant. You made a reservation for Chinese Valentine's.
I did.
Great. We wanted to remind you.
You can't cancel your reservation since it's a holiday.
We'll charge you the reservation fee even if you don't show up.
We apologize for that.
Okay. I understand.
Thank you.
What's going on?
I made a reservation at a fancy restaurant.
I want to spend Chinese Valentine's Day with Jia Lin.
It must be expensive to go there on that day.
I did the math.
With two months of salary, I'll have just enough to buy a new dress.
I have just enough money.
You're such a loser.
Plan B! Listen to me.
I have a plan.
We'll go have a fancy dinner.
I'm sure Jia Lin will buy me many beautiful roses.
Then we'll go on the ferris wheel together.
Maybe he will...
Stop right there! Young lady, you need to stop daydreaming.
It isn't a daydream.
Jia Lin made a promise to me.
When did he make a promise?
When we were in fifth grade.
- Fifth grade? - Yeah!
Listen. Listen.
We played a game when we were kids.
We exchanged a letter for our future selves.
Jia Lin wrote that he'd marry me.
Let me read it to you.
You've kept this letter since fifth grade?
Why won't you just listen to me?
- I've had enough. - "For the future Pi Pi..."
- Just listen. - No!
Fine.
Have I ever been late?
I'll have you buy water for all of us if you're ever late.
Your boyfriend is here for you again.
He's not my boyfriend. Don't say that.
He's not your boyfriend?
Then why does he come here for you every day?
We went to the same high school.
You're too talkative. Just focus on memorizing the lines.
All right. He's coming over.
I'll go memorize my lines. See you later.
Thanks again for helping me with Professor Liao.
I should treat you to dinner tonight.
Is Pi Pi coming?
I asked her. She said she needed to go to an auction tonight for the magazine.
All right. We'll have dinner then.
Where do you want to eat? What do you like?
It's my treat.
I'm okay with anything. It's your call.
Pi Pi!
What is Pi Pi wearing today?
I've never seen her dressed like this before.
What are you wearing?
It's a long story.
Sorry. I missed your rehearsal again.
It's fine. Just come when we're open to the public.
I saved some tickets for you guys, for next weekend.
You can't stand me up again!
I promise I won't!
I'm so thirsty. I didn't get a sip of water all morning.
I'll buy some drinks.
- I will go with you. - It's all right.
Just sit and relax.
All right. All right.
You dropped everything.
What are these English documents?
Visa?
Are you applying for a visa to go to America?
No... I'm just doing some research.
It's too difficult for me. I don't understand English.
I'll translate them for you.
You'd do that for me?
Of course!
Thank you!
I'll go get some food. What do you want?
I'm fine with anything.
Wait for me then.
Where did Pi Pi go?
She went to get some food.
Jia Lin.
Let's do a rain check on tonight's dinner.
Why the sudden change of mind?
Do you have an emergency?
Sure.
I have an important document to translate.
What is this?
Visa application.
Are you going to America too?
It's not for me. It's for Pi Pi.
Did Pi Pi show you these?
- She asked you to translate it? - No!
I want to do it for her.
Her English isn't so good.
We shouldn't eat alone from now on.
We can eat with Pi Pi.
I'll go help her carry the food.
When we're in love...
we do a lot of unnecessary things in the name of love.
We work so hard. We keep giving.
So they will smile at us.
So they'll thank us.
Then, we feel satisfied.
But we know in our hearts...
that all the effort won't really make a difference.
But we really don't know...
what else we can do, other than giving all we have.
Hello, Priest.
I've read the classics you gave me.
But some of the words were only used by certain northern tribes in the past.
Nobody can read them anymore.
I plan to take a trip to the north myself.
I'll ask if anyone in the Fox clan there can decipher these words.
Okay.
I understand.
What's the term for people like you in this generation?
You've been the "Plan B" for 1,000 years now.
How does it feel?
When are you coming to the north?
I'll give you my warmest welcome.
