Once upon a time, there was a planet far away in outer space.
The environment there was almost the same as Earth's.
So, of course, there were aliens living on it.
These aliens,
after a long process of evolution,
established their own civilization.
One day, their scientists predicted that their galaxy was going to collapse.
To escape, they immigrated to other planets in the universe by spaceship.
And one group of them came to Earth.
They called themselves the Fox Clan.
Ancient men on Earth were shocked when they saw them.
An ancient book reads that a huge ship-like object flew above the western sea.
The people in it wore hats, had white feathers all over their bodies,and flew high in the sky with no wings.
That is the first impression the Fox Clan made on humans.
To adapt to the environment on Earth, the Fox Clan never stopped evolving.
Finally, they began to look like humans and gradually fit in with them.
Since ancient times, the conflicts between humans and the Fox Clan never ended.
There was a government proofreading official named Dai Fu,
who was especially interested in the love between foxes and humans.
He believed love could overcome everything.
After Dai Fu died, his son collected all of the stories he had written.
He called it "Guang Yi Ji" and had it published. (The Great Book of Marvels)
It was quite popular among its readers.
After storytellers added more details, the stories spread even further.
But Humans began to fear foxes, instead of just being curious.
Foxes noticed that humans were getting less and less friendly.
They had to hide their identity in this world.

Ah Xi
Young Master
Honey
This is a tradition from our clan.
In wearing the orb charm,
you are telling everyone that we will be together forever!
Lord Qing Mu, why you let Ah Xi give this orb charm to the human girl so soon?
Obviously, she will ---
For Ah Xi's sake, this girl...
must stay healthy and live till her 25th birthday.
Until the next pure year, pure month, and pure day comes.
A human being who lives with our clan for such a long period of time,
Implanted her with fragrance sooner, could prevent
any unforeseen harm our ignorant people would do to her.
But Lord Qing Mu...
Long time no see.
Right High Priest.
Long time no see, Left High Priest.
Right High Priest.
Lord Qing Mu wants to see you.
Left High Priest,
please go back and inform him that I don't have time.
Ah Xi, this time your father ---
Qing Mu and I had no contacts for over hundreds of years.
There is no need to see each other.
This confrontation between you and your father for such a long time,
It is a disadvantage for the fox clan.
Head back first. I have something to do.
Alright. After all, I've relayed the message to you.
I'm leaving.
Zhao Song,
did you give away your orb charm?
My orb charm? It is still hanging on my neck.
What do you want to know?
I care about you.
I wish you happiness..
The weather is nice today.
Looking for a mirror?
It do not matter even if you find it, he won't appreciate it.
I advise you to give up.
Can I ask you please stop making sarcastic remarks?
Anyhow, whatever makes you happy!
I advise you not to misuse use your spells.
Do you know why? You should know why.
I will worry and feel bad about it.
Bye.
[The Orb Charm] [Fairy Fox]
[The History Described: Foxes and Different Scents]
[The Introduction to Fairy Foxes]
What is this smell? So aromatic.
What smell?
Let's go to the meeting.
Okay, right away.
Okay. Everyone can have a ten minute break.
Meet up here after ten minutes for rehearsal. Okay?
Okay.
Hey, Hsiao Nuo...Hsiao Nuo!
I feel like those two...
Okay.
Classmate, sorry.
This place is not open to public apart from workers.
Come back at an other day.
Okay, I know.
Are you avoiding me? Let's discuss this.
If you have something to say, just wait a few days and say them when we're at dinner with Pipi.
It's not that. We are also friends.
Or classmates? Then, of course there's more time that we'll spend time together.
I didn't say or do anything that made Pipi feel sad.
Then why are you avoiding me?
Yes.
Yes, right now we haven't done anything out of line
Or said anything out of line.
I'm afraid I will say something by accident one day.
[Special Body Features of Fairy Foxes]
Everyone, take a note of this. This quarter, our magazine sales haven't been very ideal.
I hope that everyone works hard in the next quarter.
Pipi, how's the investigation going on regarding Helan?
I've found out that Helan was the last name of northern minorities in the past.
Afterwards, they've all been classified into the last name "He."
But who knows why he's still using it.
Isn't Helan Jingting really rich?
I checked Weibo (similar to FB and Twitter), Wechat, and many sites,
but I still can't find this person. It is as if this person do not exist.
You're saying he's an ancient being?
I found it. Helan Jingming.
Helan Jingting?
Not Jingting. I found Helan Jingming, a poet from Tang dynasty.
Listen.
A scholar of Kaiyuan sixteen year of the Tang Dynasty
and also an imperial censor who worked as a Henan envoy.
Get to the point.
Helan Jingming got married to this really pretty fox.
Married a fox.
Later on, she was forced to steal a golden flower mirror that was a treasure and then someone killed her.
Where did you get this information from?
Guang Yu Ji, I don't have evidence on the details yet.
There's nothing to verify.
Guang Yu Ji is is like urban legend, are you going to verify all the stories in fantasy stories?
Hey guys, look at this. Wu Zetian's (famous empress) sister's family's last name is also Helan.
Legend says a lot of people had fairy fox charm. They could control people's bodies and minds.
Pipi
I'm curious on how you set a interview Helan Jingting.
Do you know him? How is he?
I don't know him that well. I just think he is a bit weird.
Guan Pipi, the words you said is considered like you never even said it.
Alright, stop always being mean.
No one was able to set a interview with Helan, but Pipi was able to do it.
Who knows how she did it. According to my observations, they're intimate on a regular basis.
Jiu Bie, let's not do the story on Helan & Qianhua
How about "Tabloid paparazzi hooked up with billionaire, now she's worth millions too"?
Don't say nonsense. I not close with him.
I have a meeting later on. Keep searching and inform me when you are done.
Okay, I'll go prepare the materials for the interview.
Okay.
Did you put perfume? What brand is it?
I didn't put on any perfume?
Normally, you look well behaved but you actually keep it inside.
Let me ask you. Who was that tall and slender
man that took me inside the venue?
I don't know. I just know that he is a plastic surgeon.
Which hospital?
I don't know.
How come you don't know anything. I'll search it up myself.
I'm going to leave first!
Xiao Yu, are you sure that you didn't smell anything?
It seems to be from Pipi's direction.
That... the story you were talking about... the one about Wu Zetian, (China's Only Female Emperor) can you it say it again?
Wu Zetian's sister's surename is also Helan.
A lot of people have fox spells that can control a person's body and thoughts.
Thank you.
[Vanillia: Bakeshop]
What would you two like to get?
-As usual. -Okay.
Kuanyong, what's going on with the Orb of Charm? Is it broken?
In the past, when Huiyan puts on the Orb of Charm, it'll light up right?
How come it doesn't shrine when Miss.Guan put it on.
Easy. Only when both the sender and the receiver have some sort of connection, will it shine.
What does that mean?
To put it simple. Sister Guanlan fell in love with Sir Helan at first sight.
However, Sister Guanlan didn't fall in love with Sir Helan this time.
Right, this is why I want to ask why she didn't fall in love with Sir Helan.
It's a different era.
Beauty standard may have changed.
What answer is that? Seriously.
-You sandwiches. - Thank you.
-Can I ask a question? -No.
I'm not asking you. Why do you come here so often? What do you plan of doing?
Because we are so handsome.
When we go to other stores, waitress will come and distrube us.
Unlike this place, the environment and food is good.
Most importantly, there is no women here at all.
Did you made a mistake? There is one sitting down.
- Who are you talking about? - You!
- Say it again. - No.
Actually, what he means is that even though this is a coffee shop,
but sandwiches are delicious and the lettuces is fresh.
Thank you.
Childish.
-Who is she calling that. - You.
What are you laughing at?
Did I laugh?
Did you not laugh?
Do you think my suffering is funny?
Couple hundred years, I haven't seen something arguing with you and you can't win him.
Who can't win him? Who are you kidding? I'm casual. I can't win him?
How can I not win him?
Hello, Sir Helan.
Okay, don't worry about it. Got it, okay. That's it, bye bye.
Let's go. They said it was an urgent matter.
What urgent matter?
I don't know either, we'll see when we get there.
Give the money!
Keep the change, okay?
- Jian Zhi Hong, please help me. - No no no, if I can I'd already helped you.
Please, just this one time.
Miss Wangnan, I'm really busy okay? Can't you see I'm holding some work to do?
We have a meeting later.
Please, for the sake of a old classmate, just take a look at its ingredients.
Why is there a need to examine a lipstick?
The key point is that after I used it, my lips felt really bad. It should be an allergic reaction. Allergic reaction.
- It's an allergic reaction right? - Yes. - Then, just don't use it.
I want to write an article on if they are violating consumer's rights by adding in illegal ingredients.
This issue... let's talk about it another day. I'm really busy because of a meeting.
This is too overboard! A doctor isn't helping a patient!
-Not helping people in need. -Miss
Wang Xuan! Wang Xuan!
Miss Wang, how about this. Give me the lipstick first and then another day when I get off work
I'll find some time to inspect it for you. Will this do?
You should've said that earlier. I was even being shrewd here. Okay. Thank you.
Just this once.
Yes!
Subbing and Timing brought to you by the Love Knot Team @viki.com
- Lord. - What's wrong?
You're here.
Which one should I pick?
Let's talk about the important things first.
This is very important.
With this issue... I haven't... with Miss Guan....
- Date..? - Correct.
That's why right now, my heart is feeling very...
- Nervous? - Yes.
What exactly do girls like, nowadays?
Honestly, getting along with girls in this era is...
In fact, a bit troublesome.
How is it troublesome?
For example, you and a girl went out for date and you guys went to eat.
And then you ask her "Are you hungry, Dear? What would you like to eat?"
Then she replies, "I'm not hungry. You can eat." What do you think she means?
- She doesn't want to eat. - Incorrect.
She wants you bring the food she likes
and put it by her mouth and then coax her to eat it.
Then, another example is, "Dear, you can order the dishes for today." What do you think this means?
She's not picky?
She wants me to decide?
She wants you to
order dishes that she wants to eat but is expensive to order.
- It's this troublesome? - Honestly, it's not too difficult, Sir.
Girls in this era are actually quite simple. You just have to remember that
if you're with them, when they say they want it, they do not actually want it.
And when they say they do not want it, they want it.
If they say they want it, they don't want it... And if they say they don't want it, they do want it!
Correct.
Then, does this mean she wants it or not?
She wants everything.
Not bad, this is pretty good.
It's simple, right? You can do it, Lord Helan. Fighting.
Remember, you have the finish the paper before the second half of the semester,
or else you'll be busy with interviews for jobs.
Then, Senior Sister please give some more of your experiences.
Actually I really want to go to Ogilvy too.
Why do you guys all want to?
However, I'm not really interested in advertising.
Then, Senior Sister, where do you want to go?
Where I want to go? I also don't know.
I haven't deeply thought about this question before.
What I like, what I'm suitable for, and what I want.
Graduation is coming soon but I still haven't thought it through.
Then, Senior Sister, do you have time tonight? I want to invite you for dinner.
Invite me for dinner? You have a request for me, don't you?
Actually, it's not. It's just that—
Tianxin, can you come out for a second. I have words to tell you.
Sorry, I'm talking with my classmate about something important.
It's alright, it's alright. You guys talk first.
What did you mean when you said those words to me this afternoon?
What is it? I just want you to come find me less.
I don't want to ask the motive for why you said those words. What I want to ask is
- you're afraid of— - I have no time to talk to you about these stuff.
- I still have a lot of things— - Can you leave after you finish talking?
From high school up to now, we've known each other for so many years. It's not like I am a stranger.
Is there words that we can't talk about it clearly?
You can hurt many people by acting this way.
Alright, I'll tell you the truth.
I have feelings for you, Tao Jia Ling. This is what I've trying not to say the whole afternoon. Are you happy now?
- Do you know what I want to say? - I don't care about what you want to say!
We were classmates since high school.
How I feel about you, your heart knows the most.
How you feel about me, I also understand in my heart.
I acknowledge that I have feelings for you, but I can't give up Pipi for you.
I'm Pi Pi's best friend, and you are who she loves most.
If we're together
Both of us will lose one person which is Pipi.
But to Pipi, it's losing the two of us
and these two people to her is the whole world.
I'm happy that you are so considerate toward Pipi's feeling.
Can you consider my feelings? Can you also consider your feelings?
I deeply considered over this.
This best option is to put the harm on the person who will experience the least amount of harm.
If we keep the status quo
Then, the three of us will suffer even more. Pipi, will eventually find out that she loves a person that
- Doesn't love her— - Alright, stop talking. I don't want to hear it anymore.
Do you still remember the restaurant I told you?
I'll wait for you there for dinner tonight.
Calm down and think about it thoroughly.
Come find my after thinking this though.
You don't need to wait for me, I won't go.
Sorry, I forgot to get my phone.
Hey, didn't you say that you wanted to invite me to dinner tonight?
Send me the address.
- Really? - Yes.
Then I'll make a appointment.
Take a look. Although I have feelings for you.
I may have feelings for other people. There are many more options.
but Pipi is different. She only has you.
Please don't let her down.
Are you still not done?
Coming!
Ladies and gentlemen, let's welcome our Lord Helan.
I think that won't work.
Where is it not okay?
Too much.
What is it again?
Rest for a while. Let me do it.
Lord Helan, this is too exposing.
I said so, I said this won't work.
What if we meet gangsters?
Wait I thought it was awesome! Really shows the sexy part of a mature man!
Let me show you what is maturity
Lord Helan.
I won't give a review but look at it yourself and see what this is.
A gentleman.
That's a white bat, isn't it?
What is that, Zhao Kuanyong?
I don't see a lot creativity here. Nothing new at all. Mediocre at best.
I'll do it myself.
Is this the same from what you normally wear?
That's right.
Then, why did you call us here for?
Thanks, you two.
"New City, Plastic Surgeon, Handsome Doctor"
"How to get rid of double chin"
[Zhao Kuanyong]
Miss, do you need something?
Can you help me register first?
We don't take walk-ins, you have to have a reservation.
This is for your reference.
I'm in a rush, can you let me in?
I understand your urgency, but this is a plastic surgery center, it's not like we have an ER here.
I'm getting married tomorrow. I want to make myself look better.
Miss, no matter how small a surgery is, there's still a recovering period.
We have no way to help you arrange for this.
Then, can you help me search and see if anyone canceled their appointment or didn't come?
I can wait.
I'll help you take a look. Have a seat.
Thank you.
That... You must be a regular here, right?
Yes.
Can I ask you something? Is there a really tall, handsome doctor working here?
There are two tall, handsome doctors here, which one are you looking for? The gentle one or the mean one?
The gentle one.
Oh, Doctor Zhao?
Is he any good?
In what aspect?
I mean... his surgical skills.
Not bad. So hard to get a reservation, most people come for him.
Then does he have a girlfriend?
How do you define "girlfriend"?
Hello, do you still remember me?
- I was the one at the— - Sorry, I have to go prepare for a surgery.
- That... Hey, wait! - Hey, hey, hey!
Miss, the thing I told you last time, you might not have really understood.
But it's fine, I'll say it again.
Me and him, we are plastic surgeons, not magicians.
There's nothing we can do for your face.
Linda, please head upstairs!
Sir, are you going to be ordering right now?
That... I'm waiting for a friend. I'll order later.
Alright.
- Hello, Mr. Helan. - Miss Guan.
This is my first time coming to such a fancy restaurant to eat.
Who would of known the scenery is that great.
This is also my first time coming.
I thought that people like you would come here every single day.
Ms Guan, sorry for putting on the Mei Zhu without asking last time.
It's alright, it's alright, it's alright.
Here. Let's interview.
Didn't we come here to eat?
It's alright, you can eat. I'm here to interview.
I don't eat human food.
You're starting to say nonsense again.
Wait, I'm going to record it.
Alright. Mr. Helan Jingting.
You can call me Helan or perhaps Helan Xi.
The people who are closer to me called me Ah Xi.
What's your profession?
I like buying antiques.
Collector.
Then, what about your income?
- I don't have an income. - A rich son from the second generation.
Then do you like anyone? A girlfriend?
No, but I have someone that I like.
Is it Qian Hua?
Ms Guan, are we doing interview here or just asking personal questions?
I don't want to either... But I have to.
Even thought my chief editor treats me quite well
but actually this job is just a training for me.
What I want to be is those political reporters.
More... in-depth analysis on the social issue.
So, what kind of news do you like more?
A lot. Like environment.
I watched a documentary about illegal ivory trafficking
Shocking. That's why I felt...
If people can see this type of news, it should be even better
so I have to work harder and be a
reporter in Xin Cheng Daily
I believe that you'll definitely succeed. I'll will try to my best to help you.
You don't have to
Then, can I ask you a question?
Yes you can.
Take a look and see what you want to eat.
I really don't need to. I can just interview.
I want to see you eat.
Waiter!
Actually, you really don't need to order.
Can you get this lady today's Chef's Special and desert?
Okay.
What do you want to drink? Sparkling water?
There's no need.
Sparkling water please.
Today, our seafood is very fresh. Would you like to try some?
No need! I don't eat seafood.
Give a share of some seafood.
Alright.
Please wait.
Didn't you say you don't eat human food?
Yes. You can eat it.
What do you usually eat?
I eat flowers.
Flowers? What flowers?
Broccoli? Cauliflower?
Fresh flowers
Talking about nonsense.
Fresh flower is great. You like fresh flower, how do you eat it?
Fry? Steam? Grill?
I eat it raw.
Eat it raw.
Is it three meals a day? How much do you eat? Is it by singer number or weight?
Depends on my mood.
There's flowers here. Eat it and let me see.
I'm not eating it.
- Why not? - There's pollen.
Mr. Helan...
Just call me Helan.
Can you just cooperate with me for a moment?
It's you who promised to accept my interview so I went to that auction event, right?
I-I have been cooperating with you.
Every question you asked, I'm answering truthfully.
This is called answering truthfully?
Are you playing with me?
I've never played you in this life.
This life? You don't use, "This life," like that. All right.
Do you want to add some lemon?
No need!
Help her add some lemon.
Then let me ask again.
Where are you from?
Tian Huo Star (literal translation, Sky fire star)
Never heard of it. Which province?
It's a planet.
So, you're an alien?
Uhhh I come from another world but to be more precise...
I am not a human.
Then you are...?
A fox.
So you are a fox that came from another world?
Correct.
I am leaving.
Why?
Why do you think?
I don't eat seafood, I'm allergic to seafood! Can I return this?
I apologize, this cannot be returned.
You see! I told you not to order it but you just had to order it!
Take it away, take it away.
Change it to a dish without seafood.
Miss Guan, I'm really sorry.
Xiu Xian told me if girls say no it means yes, if they say they don't want something then it means they want something.
I really don't know how to get along with women.
So really... I am sorry.
Classmate Chen, you're quite reliable. You've gotten the results so fast.
Really? Nothing in there?
This now, rest assured.
It's very simple.
So much so that I can say it was almost too easy to believe.
The things that are usually in lipstick are not in this one at all.
What thing?
Remember how we learned about the element "Lead" in high school chemistry class?
Lead is commonly found in lipstick.
And this lipstick... contains no lead at all.
Yet the color is still so pretty!
It's almost... magical.
Where did you buy this lipstick? How did you get an allergic reaction to it?
You... aren't going to order anything?
I honestly only eat flowers.
This is really "huo jiu jian."
Ah speaking of this "huo jiu jian"...
I took note of some words I commonly hear, but I don't really understand them.
For instance, this "huo jiu jian" and "bu ming jue li"
What does all this mean?
"Huo jiu jian" is when one lives for a long time
so they've seen everything.
"Bu ming jue li" means that even though you don't know what the other person is saying,
it sounds very amazing.
So this is all shortened slang?
That's right.
If you have interest in them, there are a lot more! Such as "xi da bu beng"
and "nei jiu bu ai," etc. There are a lot.
Bu Ming Si Jian
What does that mean?
It's "even though you don't really understand,
but you kind of understand it in a different manner."
That's right! Just this type of feeling. This is internet slang!
You don't browse the internet? You're so young.
I am much older than you.
-How much older? -About 900 years.
This again...900 years...
How can you prove that you are a 900 year old fox?
I have very keen sense of smell.
How keen is it?
I can smell... you've been working behind piles of papers today.
Cuz your hand smells like ink.
I can also smell the meat buns and glass of yogurt you had for lunch.
My lunch should already be digest! You can even smell this?
You're pranking me right?
I can not only smell what you ate,
but I also know what dishes are going to be served in a moment.
Then say it, what are we eating?
Steak cut in square shape. With truffle.
Side dishes are carrot, spinach,
and Italian fish paste.
So you can smell the shape too?
I forgot, you chose this restaurant.
You know their dishes very well. You lied to me again.
I can not only smell the shape of the food,
but I can also smell your mood.
If it were you, would you not be upset?
You asked me questions, so why are you upset?
Do you not believe me?
Smell it yourself.
I will tell you one more time.
I have never tricked you.
Ok let me sum this up.
You are a from out of this world,
pretending to be a human, 900 year old fox, correct?
Mmm, pretty much.
Then the two people who are usually with you are also foxes?
That's right, we are all from the Fox Clan.
Fox Clan...
Then they also eat flowers?
I only eat flowers.
However, the other foxes... some eat liver.
Liver?
-What kind of liver? -Human liver.
Oh my goodness.
I am going to use the restroom.
Did I scare you?
No.
Didn't you want to hear the truth?
Is what you are saying the truth?
Men are narrow-minded.
never willing to accept what is out of the ordinary.
Do you want to feel something rather than knowing?
What are you doing?
I won't hurt you.
Someone said that lies can make the world more beautiful.
He's like an aesthetic;
making you live in a fantasy, staying away from the cruel world.
So that when the truth comes,
you can blame him. Why doesn't he lie?
Why must you let me know?
Because sometimes, living in the world filled with lies,
will make someone be more blissful.
