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.
After a long process of evolution, those aliens
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 west sea.
People in it wore hats, had white feathers over their body, and flew high in the sky with no wings.
It's the first impression the Fox Clan left on humans.
To adapt to the environment on Earth, the Fox Clan never stopped evolving.
Finally, they looked 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 proofreader official named Dai Fu,
who was especially interested in the love between foxes and humans.
He believed love can overcome everything.
After Dai Fu died, his son collected all of the stories he wrote.
Called it "Guang Yi Ji" and published it.
It was popular among readers.
After storytellers added more details, the stories spread further.
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.

Your heartbeat is really slow.
Are you really from the sky?
Of course. I didn't lie to you.
When the moon becomes the shape of a golden hook, the brightest star next to it...
...is the one our clan lived on. It's called the star of sky fox.
How long have your people been here?
I don't know. Many many years.
Well...
Are you...are you human?
I am a fox. I have lived for many many years.
But you don't look old.
- I want to be a fox too. - Why?
If foxes can live that long and don't look old,
I can be with you for a long time.
How many heartbeats did you hear?
Three.
So now you believe it?
There must be something wrong with your heart.
Guan Pipi.
I think you should go to the hospital and check it out.
Are you scared right now?
No.
I just feel like you need to have a health check up -
I understand how you feel.
I'm gonna go.
We haven't finished our interview.
What interview?
I will be criticized if I write it. Who will believe me?
As long as you believe me.
Thank you for today, Mr. He Lan.
Sir. Do you need to order anything?
A seafood fried rice.
That's for two. Big portion.
Is there anything for one?
A beef rice meal for one?
- Sorry. - Were you blind? You wet my clothes.
Sorry, I don't mean it.
She has apologized. Please leave.
Where did you come from? None of your business.
What are you doing?
Just wait.
Wait.
Thanks.
Waiter. Can I have one more glass of water?
Sorry sir. Our restaurant is closed.
No problem. Just get the check.
Lord He Lan, where are you going?
You're not in a suitable position to see her.
You already scared her last night.
I scared her?
I don't understand. What's so wrong about being honest between two people who are in love?
Was I wrong to tell her who I really am?
No. But letting a human know that another human's heart...
...only beats 3 times per minute is a very scary thing.
In the past, she would always believe me...
It's different now.
Lord. There's internet in this age. That didn't exist before.
Internet makes people feel they know everything.
It's hard for them to accept the unknown.
I think you should give her a little more time.
Xiuxian has gone out to look for her.
- So you're saying that cat's heart beats 3 times per minute.. - Fox.
Fox. Heart beats 3 times per minute. What happened after that?
After that I met a drunk guy who was assaulting me. Good thing there was a guy who helped me out.
Then I had a weird dream where he and I were in a lake.
Lake? Why didn't he fly while carrying you?
Hey. Xin Xiaoju. I'm not joking.
Do you believe me or not?
I do. Why not?
- You believe it? - Yes.
I don't even believe it myself. How could you believe it?
You forgot about when we were in school? The stories my father told were much scarier than this.
Why don't you talk about it with Tian Xin? She knows more.
She would not believe it. Things like this don't exist.
There's no such thing as "not exist".
Einstein once said "science can only prove things that exist, not things that don't".
When did Einstein say that?
Maybe it was my father who said it.
Another one who shouldn't exist is here.
- What are you doing? - Tell him I'm not here.
-What? -Go!
Go, go, go.
Hi weirdo. Do you still want a sandwich with all meat today?
I'm here for something serious.
What delivery?
I'm here for Miss Guan. Mr. He Lan was very worried about her.
Miss Guan? I will tell you if I see her.
Miss Guan. Do you have a minute to chat?
Miss Guan. Mr. He Lan sent me here to apologize to you.
He said there was some misunderstanding the other night. Did he scare you?
Scared...no, how come?
It was just slower heartbeat.
Everyone has different heart rate. It's normal.
Is it?
- It is. - Really?
That's great. Since that's the case, Mr. He Lan wants to see you this evening.
This evening?
I have something at the magazine.
What about afterwards?
- Something else. - Could be a late dinner.
Pipi. Didn't you say you have a meeting later? Go.
Oh right. I gotta go now.
Hey Miss Guan. How do I tell Mr. He Lan?
Sit. Eat. Why did you scare her?
When did I scare her?
How did you know she was behind the bar? X-ray vision?
Pervert.
Sir,
Miss Qianhua is very busy.
How about you come again some other day?
Youran. You can leave now.
Aren't you busy?
You're here already. You're not welcomed here. Just say what you want.
What are you helping him find?
No matter what it is, it's between me and the right priest.
It has nothing to do with you.
You're looking for Princess Xiyan's golden mirror?
What does he want it for?
He has his reasons.
You knew that He Lan Jingting can't inherit Lord Qing My's position.
Why did you help him? He's an interracial bastard.
Left priest, mind your language.
Lord Qing Mu is your adopted father and the main priest of the fox clan.
You're not afraid it will embarrass him talking like that?
Qing Mu had a marriage agreement with Princess Xiyan.
But he had a bastard son with a human from who knows where.
He didn't even care about the whole fox clan's opposition.
He let this bastard become his heir. He Lan Jingting.
He's not qualified at all.
A few days ago he asked me about the orb of charm.
What? It's not you?
I advise you not to waste any time on him.
In my opinion, as for characters,
right priest is more qualified to become the main priest than you.
My time is valuable. I won't see you leave.

- Here. A bit more for you. - Thanks.
You're welcome.
Go.
So you foxes aren't really like dogs.
Of course. You humans aren't the same as gorillas.
Also, don't compare me to such horrific animals.
Aren't you afraid that you know so much?
Why would I be afraid?
Fox. Alien. 3 heartbeats. I won't be afraid even if you have no heartbeat.
- You're not afraid I would eat you? - Eat me?
There are so many animals in this world eaten by humans.
There's nothing wrong with a few animals who eat humans.
If everyone can think like this, that would be great.
I don't know what other people think. This is what I think.
My father is a math teacher. People call him crazy.
He was always talking about equations and telepathy.
He said there's a logical explanation for all of this.
He even told me, in this world,
he can use math equations to calculate if there are monsters.
Monsters? Knock it off.
I wasn't joking.
Do you want to hear a story?
- What story? - Look over there.
That's the park my father used to walk past when he was in high school.
There's always a girl wearing a white dress looking at my father.
Just stared at him in silence.
One day, my dad was so curious that he followed the girl...
...to a shabby building.
He climbed up and up.
He followed her all the way to the top.
The girl walked into a room.
She gently closed the door.
My father checked the building. That room is the only one without a light on.
So my father looked into the room...
...from the key hole.
Why was there a chair on the floor?
My father was curious about it too.
How did the chair fall on the floor?
At that moment, an auntie from the neighborhood came out.
She told my father that a girl used to live in that apartment.
3 months ago,
she hanged herself.
After that, no one lived in there.
After the old lady returned, my father looked into the key hole again.
He saw nothing this time.
He only saw the color red.
Why?
Because people who hang themselves...
...are bloody red in their eyes.
How is that possible? There can't be such a thing in this world.
My father said, anyone who heard this story,
...when they go back to their own place, they would discover...
Nobody will stand in front of my house. There are no monsters. I don't believe it.
So there can be alien foxes but no ghosts?
Of course. We are very scientific.
You're a scientific coward.
I'm telling you. Sometimes humans can be more terrifying than ghosts.
What?
Welcome!
Hello. Long time no see.
Long time no see.
Can we speak alone for a minute?
- Say it right here. - Yes, right here.
I want to ask you for a favor.
- Another fight? - No.
We are not speaking to each other. But I really want to thank you for last time.
She was good to me for a while. But lately I don't know what I did that made her so upset.
She's always making a big deal out of what happened last time.
Her birthday is coming soon. We can't keep doing this.
But actually it was my fault. I shouldn't ask you to provoke her.
It was my fault.
I'm telling you the truth since we know each other so well.
I want to ask you to go with me to apologize to her.
Shouldn't you apologize alone if you want to be sincere?
Yes. I will go. But you...
...were there too. Just clear it out for me.
Tell her we were just acting like a couple and she will believe me.
Please?
Deal. I'll see you outside the bar tonight at 10.
Right. Can you tell her tonight...
...that you came up with the idea?
Why?
So she wouldn't get angry at me. Understand?
Good bros. Help me out. I'll see you tonight. Bye.
You're not really going, are you?
Eat your food.
What are you doing? When are you giving me the interview?
I haven't finished organizing it.
Hurry up.
A visitor is outside wanting to see you.
How could I have a visitor?
I think it's strange too.
That person is tall and handsome, wearing a big pair of sunglasses. He said he has something very important to talk to you.
Sunglasses?
Tell him that I'm not at work today.
Why?
Don't ask why. Just tell him that.
I gotta go.
Where are you going?
What's she doing? So mysterious.
Hi. Is Pipi there?
She's not at work today.
Not at work?
I think she probably went out on interviews.
You want to leave me your name and phone number?
No thanks.
Ok.
Hello? Where are you? I didn't see you at school today.
I'm at Pipi's magazine.
What are you doing there?
I think I should tell Pipi. We can't hide it from her.
Pipi...
She's not there.
I'll let you go. I have to go prepare for the skype interview with the supervisor in the US.
Ok.
Hi.
Can I ask if Tao Jialin is here?
Tao Jialin?
He just went out. I don't think he's in school now.
Do you know when he's coming back?
We don't know.
Thanks.
Who's that?
Tao Jialin's girlfriend.
Didn't Tao Jialin... with Tian Xin from the music department?
It's complicated. Let's not get into this.
Tian Xin. Tian Xin.
Pipi.
Why are you here?
It's good you're here. I went to look for Jialin but he's not in school.
Can I borrow your phone? I broke my phone last night. Couldn't get in touch with him.
Ok. Sure.
- Here. - Thanks.
I do like scientific researching and...
This is really an addiction for me, from my childhood.
Ok. Why would you choose our school?
No one answered?
He's probably at the interview.
Call him later.
Can I stay with you today?
Sure. Of course.
What happened to you? Feeling unwell?
Nothing.
Last night...
...I saw you and...
Senior!
Senior.
We are all here. Shall we go together?
Ok. You wait for me.
Ok. We will wait for you over there.
Let's go.
Where are you going?
They prepared a going away party for us seniors. In Plus Bar tonight.
Can I go with you?
I thought you hate clubs.
I don't want to be alone today.
Bring me.
Ok. Jialin can meet us there when he's done.
Let's go.
Humans are really strange. They get lost...
...after they meet the people they like. They would accept the most absurd requests.
Can't they see they're being used?
It's really stupid.
Teacher Kuanyong. I have a question.
Why are humans so stupid?
They get lost when they meet someone they like.
Then they would accept the most absurd requests.
Can't they see they're being used?
So what are you trying to use me for?
Wow. Kuan kuan. I like you more and more.
I want you to go somewhere with me.
Where?
- See what you want to eat. - Whatever.
What do you want to eat?
This looks nice.
Can we eat at this restaurant?
- This one. - Sure.
You go in first. I'll go buy a drink.
There are drinks inside.
It's cheaper outside.
I'll wait for you inside.
Wrap it up for me, ok?
Ok.
Sorry I don't have enough change. Can you wait a sec?
It's ok. It's on me.
I can't do this. My friend is inside. I'll borrow it from her. I'll be right back.
Just take it.
Xin. Can I borrow some change?
- Is that enough? - Thanks.
Here is your money.
I don't need the money.
How can I do that?
Miss. Can you give me your blessing?
Blessing?
What blessing? How do I do that?
Please move your fingers.
Touch the top of my head.
That...why?
Sorry. I offended you.
Please don't blame me. Please don't blame me.
Don't be like that.
Ok I'll touch the top of your head?
Two chicken ones. One pork and one beef.
Two chicken ones?
- Yes. - Ok.
Is that enough?
Thank you miss.
I'm sorry I offended you.
Please don't tell lord priest.
Lord priest?
You're saying He Lan...
We can't just say lord priest's name.
So you know He... lord priest?
I don't know him. You can't just know him.
Unless you're willing to introduce me.
But how do you know that he knows me if you don't know him?
Because Lord Priest has planted fragrance on you.
You're wearing his orb of charm.
After you put the orb on,
you have lord priest's fragrance on you.
How could he do that without asking me?
Does your lord priest really like to plant fragrance and put orbs of charm on people?
Lord Priest never planted fragrance on anyone.
Unless that person is his woman.
You take the money.
Miss, miss. Your food is ready.
Thanks.
What happened?
Nothing
Just eat.
Pipi. Why are you so strange today?
Nothing wrong. I'm probably too tired from work.
What's wrong?
I just want to remind you that we should get off the next bus stop.
Pipi, what on earth is wrong with you?
I'm alright.
Jialin said his interview is over. He will be right here.
What are you looking at?
The man who just walked by. Xiao Ju likes him.
Isn't that his girlfriend next to him?
I suppose so. They were broken up earlier but got back together for some reason.
It would be so hard for Xiao Ju to see them together.
Xiao Ju? Is it Xiao Ju?
Why are you guys here?
Xiao Ju. You stay with Pipi. We will go dancing.
Wait. I have something I need to do.
What do you have?
My friend's girlfriend is having her birthday. I'm here to have fun.
What friend? It's that Chen Nan right?
Don't worry. It's just celebrating a birthday. It's alright.
Wait for me. I'll come and find you later.
Xiao Ju, stay with me for awhile. I'm a bit scared.
There's so much people. What are you scared of?
You're afraid that a fox will eat you up?
It's alright. In a while, I'll come and find you. Sit, be good.
Why are you both here?
Such a coincidence, Miss Guan. You're also here.
We're here to look for Xiao Ju.
Xiao Ju?
Why are you looking for Xiao Ju?
Is she together with Chen Nan?
- That's right. - Where is she?
Over there.
Thanks.
Hey. Hey...
- Pipi. -Jialin.
I looked for you for the whole day. I have some words to tell you.
Jialin you're here.
I have something I need to discuss with Jialin. I'll borrow him for a second, Pipi.
Secrets are like Pandora's boxes.
Open it accidentally and you'll face consequences you couldn't bear.
We discover secrets over and over again.
Because secrets change over and over again.
You get stuck in them.
You become a part of the secret.
