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 western sea.
The people in it wore crowns, 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.

What's going on with you two?! You're still not done eating?!
What about the ones over there?!
So slowly, like a girl.
- Hurry and eat! After you finish eating, hurry and go work. - Go!
I'll give you the meat. I'm not eating it.
Serve them well.
Come. I'll help you peel a tangerine.
- The big cutomer arrived! - Inside please.
I didn't know expensive customers honor us with their presence。 Excuse me for not going out to meet you.
I'm ashamed. It's the age to give birth for the fox clan.
But I failed to all the time
Today I came, I don't know
which master's favor I will get
Boss, please give me some suggestions.
This won't do, this won't do. Drink the tea first.
What about the master in green clothes?
You really have a good taste. He's a newbie.
Hey.
How about this one?
This one is even better.
I'll apply medicine for you.
Endure it a bit.
Thanks.
Let's go.
If we continue to work like this, our bodies can't handle it.
Your illness is getting more and more severe.
Escaping? You two even want to escape?
One is ill and one is always so slow everyday.
You can't get one customer. If you still can't make it happen, there's more to suffer!
Hit! Beat them!
Boss, the Right Priest is here.
Right Priest? Right now?
Maybe it's related to the human kind a few days ago.
Alright, alright.
Lord Right Priest, welcome.
What do you want?
You should be clear yourself about the reason for why I came.
Han Feng mansion has Lord Qing Mu's badge.
Lord Right Priest, it can't disband just based on a couple of your words.
Your brothel is on my territory.
You trade fox clan members with humans.
Do you think I don't know? This is a severe crime.
Tanfeng Mansion's breeding foxes matter to the future generations of the fox clan.
Lord Qingmu, knows.
The different tribes of the fox clan are drifting apart.
That's the reason why there are no more newborns.
You use breeding foxes to reproduce.
It will drive them further apart. Can you be held responsible for that?
How could Lord Qingmu have a bastard like you?
The relationships built on love...
...are more stable than blood relations and mutual needs to reproduce.
That's what makes the fox clan live long and prosper.
Tanfeng Mansion has to go.
The world is so big. Anywhere can be my home. Stop following me!
- Lord Helan! - Lord Helan!
I have no way to take care of you guys. Stop following me.
[Vanilla: Bake Shop]
Welcome.
Pipi?
You didn't go to work?
Were you scold by the chief editor?
You seem really tired. I'll make coffee for you.
- Xiaoju. - Huh?
- I resigned. - Why?
There's too much things that happened recently.
I'm a mess. I want to get myself organized.
Then, you didn't have to resign.
Give yourself a vacation first and take a rest.
Anyways, I don't like this job so I resigned.
Right now, I just want to hurry and go to America with Jialin and start a new life.
Go to America? Jialin mentioned it to you?
Not yet. There's a problem over at Jialin's side.
His diploma got lost in the mail so he has to go.
but he said that after he comes back, he'll talk about going to America with me.
Why do I keep feeling like he means that he's not going to bring you along?
Can't you hope for something better for me?
Right now, I just want to hurry and go to America with Jialin and start a new life.
Starting a new life and avoiding it is not the same.
Then, if you leave, what about that Helan?
He...
He probably doesn't want to see me anymore.
But that's also good since I already achieved my motive.
What's wrong with you guys?
Do you remember the day I asked those two weirdos to ask Mr. He Lan out?
I remember.
Later on, we met.
I brought the bag of realgar and went there.
Realgar? What for?
I saw online that monsters are afraid of realgar.
so I bought a bag for protection.
Later on, he found out and got really angry.
He also put his hand in the realgar.
What happened after?
Then, he got injured.
Pipi, I think you went overboard regarding this issue.
Mr. Helan likes you.
Also, he didn't do anything dangerous to you. Is that right?
But...
I'll say it to you like this.
This world is full of unknown things.
You can't bring realgar
because you're afraid of him.
If he's afraid of you and he brings acid to see you.
How would you feel?
Why aren't those two weirdos here?
I don't know what happened to them lately. They're mad.
Mad?
- I'll leave first. - Where are you going?
I have something to do.
Be safe.
Morning, Miss Xin.
What's this emoticon pack's name? I want it too.
If you want to go then go.
Based on what, that you're allowed to decide for me? I'm not going.
You're not going? Then, I'll go.
You... based on what that you can go by yourself. Then, I'm also going.
I'm going.
I'm also going.
[Taxi]
[Taxi-Meter]
Miss Guan, you came?
How did you know it was me?
I can smell it.
No wonder.
These... these flowers are for you.
The flower shop owner said there's no fertilizer in these.
Thanks.
Today, I came to apologize to you.
Apologize for what?
Last time, I injured your finger.
Oh, it's alright. Last time, I was the one who put my finger in the realgar myself.
No. I shouldn't of brought the realgar along to meet up with you.
Sorry.
It's alright. Come in. I'll get something for you to drink.
No need.
Are you really not thirsty and don't want to drink something
- or you're really thirsty but you're afraid that it would be troublesome for me so your heart— - I'll drink it.
I indeed guessed correctly.
There's something that I want to tell you about.
I resigned today.
So, I won't publish that report.
No one will know about your secretly. Don't worry.
That's great. I can save myself for a lot of troubles.
Thanks.
Actually, I start to believe
those things that you said.
But, a normal person like me
when you said it, you didn't think I would be afraid?
You should be afraid.
Then, why did you still tell me?
You should just make something up and get it over with.
Because I once told you that I won't lie to you in this lifetime
so whatever question you ask me, I'll answer sincerely.
There's also another question. I wanted to ask it on the day of the auction.
Why is it me?
Am I special in a certain way?
In my heart, you're the most special and the most different.
You're the person I would protect with my life.
You don't have to say it to that state right?
I'm still not clear what you meant.
Sorry. I have no way right now
to help you solve this issue clearly.
But I hope you can trust me. I'll definitely won't hurt you.
Is your hand better?
Oh, it's much better. Good thing you reminded me. It's time for me to change the medicine.
I'll help you.
Can you?
- I can. - Alright.
- Hey. - What?
You're walking on the wrong direction.
I'm not. I originally wanted to exercise.
Hey. What are you two doing?
Both of you go slower.
I'll go buy popcorn.
- Do you want to eat sweet or salty? - Any will do.
Then, can you please ask this mister in front of me who is wearing a black suit?
- Do you like— - Any will do.
Miss Xin, do you like to sit in the back row or the front row?
Any will do. Where does Xiuxian like to sit?
He likes to sit in the back row so I'll buy the front row.
Where are you going? The number is wrong.
I don't want to sit next to him. I'll stay away from him.
It's right here.
Sorry, this is my seat.
You're seating in someone's seat.
I'm sorry. No manners.
You're sitting in my seat.
Laughing at others.
Bad eyesight. Can't see the seat numbers?
Did your brains get choked on water today?
- Are you eating or not? - I'm not eating.
- Then, why didn't you ask if I'm eating or not? - Aren't you eating it?
I want to eat the ones you give me.
There's butter in the popcorn.
Eat less. If you eat too much then you'll tired of it.
Lower your voice! Bad manners.
Bad manners! That's you!
Subbing and Timing brought to you by the Love Knot Team @viki.com
Done.
Thank you.
Are you still afraid of me right now?
I don't know why,
it seems like I'm not that afraid like I was before.
Alright then.
Do you have something to say?
It's better to not say it. If I say it then you'll be afraid.
Then, just tell a little.
I don't want to.
Then, I'll ask questions. Didn't you say you won't lie to me?
Are you treatening me?
I'm not.
Actually, I'm quite curious.
Before, didn't you say some foxes will eat people's livers?
Why are they eating people's livers?
Because eating people's livers will extend our lives.
Then, do the other two foxes eat it?
Are you talking about Xiuxian and Kuanyong?
They don't eat it.
The foxes from the South all don't know how to eat it.
This is a rule that I created since a thousand years ago.
Then, have you really not eaten it before?
It's alright. You can also not reply.
I ate it before.
It was something a long time ago.
Then, if there's nothing else, I'll leave first.
Miss Guan.
If I don't get near you anymore and that will let you have
a normal and happy days then
I'm willing to not bother you
Because I discovered loving someone without them loving you back is hurtful.
Sorry.
I understand but please trust me.
I will do a lot of hard work just for your happiness.
Then, goodbye.
Goodbye.
Wow.
Hit him.
Hit him. Hit him.
Really.
Both born of the same root, why torment each other so cruelly!
This movie is too good.
Caesar is my new idol.
So, Zhao Kuanyong,
don't get too close to humans.
What's the point? It's pointless to be good to them.
In this movie, what did they do to the animals?
You also saw it.
Those bad people really went overboard.
If I dominate the world one day.
Then, I'll lock them all up.
No offense.
You also can't do that. If we do that then what's the difference from them?
They're originally not good things.
Caesar is really handsome. A ape can act better than a person.
- Are you saying the male lead? - Of course.
Do you think there's a sequel?
- I don't know. - Of course there is.
For really? What does it talk about?
At the end, humans killed all the apes.
That can't be right? How is that possible?
- Pipi. - Kuanyong.
- How did the talk go? - She just said that Caesar would be killed in part two, right?
I think he means something else.
What about Jialin? He's leaving tomorrow. Is he not keeping you company today?
Then, come and find us.
You won't. I'm the only person here, I'm so afraid.
I'll wait for you. Bye.
Where are you going? Are we going to eat?
So far this is all I could find. These pictures and texts.
Some of the texts I still can't read.
I need the elders' help when I go to the north.
I asked him to go to the north with me.
He said
as long as I wear the orb of charm, the elders in the north will treat me better.
I need him to help me right now so I have to accept this request.
Once I found the answer then I'll take it off.
I will now categorize these pictures and texts.
Ah Xi, don't worry. He won't hurt me.
Both of you, can you stop following me?
Why aren't you bring us two along to eat?
Best friends are eating so what does that have to do with you?
You want to talk bad about us behind are back.
I can also talk bad about you guys in front of you.
Then, that's talking good about us behind our backs.
Shameless.
Alright, be already came. Let's eat together. How about it?
Who is it? Do you know him?
Be careful.
Isn't that the guy we met last time at the club?
Xiaoju.
Pipi, that... let's not eat here.
- Why not? - I know another new place that is more tasty.
Isn't that dessert shop your favorite?
Hello, Pipi?
I just want to ask, did you leave your house yet?
I am almost at the restaurant. I'll call you later.
You just said you were having dinner with the professor?
Yes. You don't know that?
Ok. You do your own thing.
Pipi.
Hello, Pipi. What's wrong?
Where are you at?
I am having dinner with friends.
Pipi.
Have you seen Jialin these past few days?
These past two days?
What's wrong?
Is there an emergency? Did you lost touch with him?
How about if I see him, I will tell him...
Pipi?
Pipi? Pipi?
Pipi? Listen to me!
Pipi.
Pipi? Pipi?
Pipi? Listen to me!
Don't speak.
When did this start?
- Pipi. It's not what you think... - Can you stop talking?
You should be the one to talk.
Why?
Pipi, I think we are not right for each other.
Not right? Does that mean I'm not good enough?
- I know I'm not good enough for you. - No.
After all these years, now is the time you realize we're not right for each other?
I...I just suddenly found out...
what's more suitable for me.
I'm asking you,
did you discover we are not right for each other after you fell for her?
Or did you just not like me?
Pipi, can we not talk about this here?
When do you want to talk about it?
If I didn't run into you two today, how much longer are you planning on lying to me?
I didn't mean to lie to you...
I probably...
just stopped loving you. It's not about Tian Xin.
You should've told me this earlier.
I'm sorry.
If you told me earlier, we wouldn't waste time for the three of us.
Speak up.
Say what?
Say "let's break up".
Say it.
I should at least be told.
Let's break up.
Look. It's so simple.
Pipi.
I think it's best if you stay away now.
What's wrong? Broken up?
Here, let's drink.
Looks like you're pretty upset. I'm just here to console you.
I'm happy!
You're so young and pretty.
You have lots of opportunities.
No booze.
Two more drinks!
I have more. Here.
Cheers!
How can you sleep?
Let's go.
Who are you?
I told you to drink less.
So it's what you saw.
It's just the person you loved fell in love with your best friend.
I think Miss Guan shouldn't be alone right now.
I feel the same way.
Why can't I smell her now?
She returned the orb of charm to Mr. He Lan yesterday.
Mr. He Lan agreed?
What else can he do?
Let's go. Something happened. No time to explain.
What's wrong?
I received tips saying Miss Guan was taken from a nightclub 5 minutes ago.
What?
Pipi? Where should we go to rescue her?
Don't panic. Hello Mr. He Lan?
I will be there in 5 minutes.
You're a fox. Can't you smell it?
What can I smell?
Don't panic. We'll see what happens when we get there.
Stop yelling!
You can't escape!
Stop!
Look at you all upset. It makes me...
Here. Let me comfort you.
Go away.
Go away! Go away! Help! Help!
Pipi, I think we're not right for each other. Let's break up.
When we were still kids,
we were told to stay away from danger.
Stay away from dangerous places and dangerous things.
Stay away from dangerous people.
Even though we were trained for a long time,
we still make mistakes.
What we thought was safe...
...can become dangerous in a blink of an eye.
What we thought was dangerous,
we couldn't help to get close.
Because sometimes, only when you're standing next to a cliff,
you can see what others can't see.
More beautiful views.
