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.

Lord Helan.
Tonight's night sky is just right. If we enter the gates now,
We can be in Chang An by tomorrow afternoon.
Chang An? Okay.
We're almost home.
This melody sounds very nice.
River always continues to flow but it never flows away.
What this feels like, I finally know now.
Do you want me to ask the musician to come here?
No need. You can leave first.
Okay.
Can you let me see the picture you just took?
Right, why do you like the song "Zhu Que Jie?"
It's very special. It's a bit like an old song.
The first time I heard it, it felt like deja vu.
A Gui is really talented. He can write such beautiful lyrics.
But there's a line in there, "A letter from afar"
Something "listen to Hu Jia," I don't understand what that means.
This line of lyrics means that a family letter lies slanted on the bedside,
And the letter's owner sadly listens to the music outside the window, quietly crying.
How do you know that the letter's owner was quietly crying?
Because the lyrics...
Priest, please wait.
Wait a moment for me.
A Gui.
Lord, A Gui needs your blessing.
This lady is the Huiyan in this life.
I just recently found her.
This is Miss Guan. She really likes your songs.
-Thank you. -You guys know each other?
I forgot to tell you, A Gui and I are the same kind of people.
Hello, Miss Guan. It's very nice to meet you.
Hello, I'm your fan. I can sing all your songs.
Especially that song "Zhu Que Jie." I really really like it.
Thank you, Miss Guan. But actually, that song isn't my work.
Then who wrote it?
Perhaps you have to ask the person next to you.
Although I compose the melody, the priest wrote the lyrics.
I remember that was a by chance opportunity.
I had the honor to read these lyrics from the priest. I thought it was beautiful.
So I just begged the priest to receive it and then added the melody to it.
But that was a very long time ago.
After that, to make the listeners understand it better now,
I simplified some of the lyrics.
Only a few original lyrics of the priest were kept.
The lyrics that you wrote,
Although I don't understand too much of it,
But I don't know why
I just feel pretty bad inside after hearing it.
The meaning of this lyrics is
that someone had to leave Chang'an and moved to the West.
Hence, he left the person he loved.
During the night, he always dreamed about the time he spent with his loved one.
But everytime he woke up, it was blank.
After a long time, he finally got the change to go back to Chang'an
but the person he loved was no longer there.
The person he loved?
Did you write it for her?
It's been such a long time. I can't really remember.
Is there something?
Long time no see, you two.
Today, your two little brothers aren't here. You're out numbered.
It seems like it's the person who robbed my wallet.
Don't you guys just want money? I'll just give you money.
- Don't be impulsive. - Who wants money from you?!
Let me tell. Last time, you broke my ribs.
Today, I'll also let you taste the feeling of breaking your ribs.
I advise you guys to hurry and leave.
Don't move!
Where are you injured? Is it severe?
I'm alright.
Take your hand away and let me take a look.
I'm really alright. It's just a small injury.
What's wrong?
I'll heal it for you.
Miss Guan, last time if it wasn't because someone reported
then I wouldn't have a way to immediately arrive at the place
so for your safety, I still hope you can put it on.
I won't disturb you if there's not special situations.
- Also I— - I trust you.

Xiaoju.
Did you really invite Lord Helan to help with the fourth S?
Yes.
Mr. He Lan agreed right away.
Then, what about Miss Guan? Did you also agree?
Why wouldn't she agree? In the past, she would cry and yell in order to go.
What?
Then, if it's like that then they did the fourth S.
Does that prove they're already together?
A small issue like that can also count as being together?
A small issue?
Do you humans already treat this like a casual issue?
I always thought this issue was like
two people who like each other.
Then, they can.
Even though this issue would be better if two people have a better relation with each other,
but at the co-workers and friends can also go together. Anyways, there's so much strangers together. - Co-workers?
Even strangers?
Lord Helan, is so different. Something that we didn't even dare to think about, he did it so casually.
Like both of us in the past...
Xiuxian, stop talking.
Today, Pipi send me WeChat message and said she felt much better.
Pipi, we were just talking about you.
You guys are all here.
Yes. These two come here every day and won't leave before they are fed.
What's wrong?
Go.
I know you two are close. Do you need to make gestures to each other?
Miss Guan, yesterday night you really
did the fourth S with Lord Helan?
You found out already. Thanks to you guys.
I really appreciate it. The two of us-
It's okay as long as you are happy. You don't need to tell us the details.
Why don't you let her finish? Ms. Guan, please continue. I want to hear it.
Why are you so talkative? What does this have to do with you?
I want to hear it.
Mr. Helan.
Ms. Guan, I'm sorry about the accident yesterday.
Are you still hurting?
It doesn't hurt anymore.
I want to speak with Ms. Guan.
Okay. Let's go. Help me out.
- I don't want to leave. - Let's go.
Mr. He Lan, I want to thank you for yesterday.
No problem. It's not a big deal.
Do you have some time this weekend?
What's the matter?
I have a wine party.
A lot of my friends will be there.
So you do have other friends.
I thought you only have the two of them.
If it's convenient for you, would you like to come?
Who would of known that the outcome of the fourth S would be so good.
Yes. Mr. He Lan was so depressed yesterday, today, he is...
Of course, the fourth S to a girl is sometimes really important.
The power of the idol is infinite.
Huh? Lord Helan is also Miss Guan's idol? How come I didn't know?
What? The fourth S that I'm talking about is superstar.
What superstar?
They did cosplay yesterday?
A girl would of course be healed if she sees her idol when she's sad.
What are you talking about? What did you ask Mr. He Lan do yesterday?
I asked Lord Helan to help me get a ticket for Ah Gui's concert.
What?
What were you thinking?
- We thought the fourth S you're talking about is the one we're talking— - No.
Oh right, we thought the fourth S you were talking about is superstar.
Superstar right? Celebrity... celebrity.
Right.
You finally came back.
What are you doing in the kitchen this late?
So you do know that it's late. Where did you go?
Didn't I tell you that I went to see my professor?
You went to see your professor in the afternoon. What time is it now?
I met some senior student from our old school on the way.
From architecture department. You know him. He asked me to dinner.
Why didn't you call me?
You could've asked me to go with you. You should've at least called me.
Sorry. My phone ran out of battery. I was going to pick you up,
but I went there right away because I thought there was not enough time.
Give me your phone.
What are you doing?
Did you lie to me?
Why would I lie to you?
You said your phone ran out of battery, right?
Right.
So if I try to turn it on now, it shouldn't be able to turn on.
If it does turn on, doesn't that prove you are lying?
Try turning it on, then.
But there might still be some battery left, so you can turn it on.
Look.
I didn't lie to you. Why don't you believe me?
I don't know what's wrong with me.
Maybe it's because you also lied to Pipi like this.
For how long are you going to keep staring at me like that?
It's been a few hours. We should be there after two stops, right?
Where does Princess Zhaoyang live? Do you have any leads?
Where should we start?
Would we be able to find her when we get there?
Yes.
You're strange today. You're talking so little.
If it was in the past, you would of said,
"The North is different from the South. We won't be together with Humans."
Or perhaps words that are more unpleasing to hear.
Am I that hateful in your heart?
I'm just not used to you being so quiet.
This is my first time travelling with you.
So I'm a bit nervous.
This wouldn't be considered our vacation, right?
Pipi, so did you decide to go?
Yes, but I'm a bit nervous.
Why are you nervous? Mr. Fox is there.
Maybe I shouldn't go. What do you think?
That won't do Miss Guan. You already promised Lord Helan.
It would be bad if you don't go.
Let me think about this.
Look at her. If she goes and something happens to her, what do we do?
I'll go with you.
- You can't. - You can't.
You can't go to the Fox Clan's party.
Why?
Miss Guan is Lord Helan's girlfriend so she can go.
You don't have any relations with the Fox Clan so why are you going for?
Girlfriend, right?
I remember one day two cute guys held me in their arms and said I was their girlfriend.
- Which day was that? Can I go now? - You can, you can. You can.
You can, you can. Anytime. It's like going back home. Go however you want to.
- Yeah. - It's really tasty. Taste it. Hurry and eat.
My Pipi, what is this?
What are you holding? If you don't have a good outfit, borrow one from your friends.
Like me.
How do I look? Pretty good, right?
You also know that. Then, why didn't help borrow some clothes for me when you borrowed your clothes?
I didn't know your clothes are like this.
Whatever. Let's not go. I have nothing to wear.
How can we not go? We already promised him. Pipi.
Just wear something, okay?
- Pipi, sit up. - I don't want to go anymore.
Let me answer this call. Hello?
Okay.
Where are you going?
Miss Xin. Why are you dressing like that today?
I specially prepared the evening dress for the party.
Does it look good?
Yes.
This is the dress Mr. He Lan prepared for Miss Guan.
He's really an old fox. Much better than you guys.
We also prepared an outfit for you.
Did you pick it out?
Xiu Xian bought it.
Pipi, it's time to go.
Coming!
I thought the northern fox clan hated humans.
They don't really like humans.
Why did you pick such a place?
A hundred years ago, those less aggressive elders...
...wanted to move to the forests.
Stay away from humans.
Where can we find a place that's never been polluted by humans?
Instead of running away from it, you might as well try to get to know them.
Human beings can be anywhere. The more you tolerate, the more aggressive they get.
Have you forgotten what they've done to you?
But you still chose to live with them, the same way we did.
Lord Left Priest.
How long did you take to make a space like this?
It's a pity that I have the ability.
It's been more than a century and I haven't built more of this.
- I thought you were— - You thought I was...
You thought I would only cause you trouble.
I'm not that boring like Helan Jingting,
spending so much years on a human.
There's so much that he should do.
We arrived.
Come.
What?
Be the Left Priest's wife.
If you want to get news
then act like it.

Cheers.
Next time, I'll introduce him to you guys.
- Hello. - It's so cool.
- Right Priest. - Right Priest.
You guys all know each other?
- Right Priest. - Right Priest.
You also came?
Are you a little uncomfortable?
I'm not.
It's just all of a sudden so many eyes are on me.
I'm a bit not used to it.
Relax. Look at everyone, all of them quite like you.
Mr. He Lan, you were so cool when you entered the room.
Your back is shinning.
How is it? does it feel good to come with us?
The person who feels good is Mr. Helan. What does that have to do with you?
Make it right. I'm the one who brought you here.
Can both of you be a bit quiet?
So, these people are all...
Yes. These people are all my friends and family.
It feel like your identity and status is really high here.
You have a lot of pressure, right?
It's alright.
Relax. You don't have to be afraid of anything when you're by my side.
Try the dessert,
Look time no see.
Hello, Right Priest.
Is there elder here today?
He wants you to go see him.
- Then, you go do your work. I'll wait for you here. - Alright.
Xiaoju, take care of Miss Guan.
How are you recently?
Ah Xi, long time no see.
Pipi, look at that. The one that's wearing a white dress.
Does she look familiar?
It seems like I seen her somewhere.
Isn't she that... Fang Jingxue?
That woman who went viral last year or the year before?
It's seems like that.
This name Fang Jingxue is so interesting.
Say, was she born when during the winter when there was snow?
Why?
It's Fang Jingxue.
So based on your theory you were named in autumn.
When chrysanthemums bloom.
That's right.
Is there a problem?
Then, in winter you should of been called, "Xin Xiaomei."
Xin Xiaohe in spring. (He: lotus flower)
Pipi, I'll go ask for a autograph. Do you want to go together?
I am not a fan girl.
Then, I'll go.
What are you called during the summer?
Miss Guan, I'll go take a look at Lord Helan.
Alright.
Hello.
It seems like I never seen you before. What's your name?
My name is Guan Pipi.
Xiumei. Hello.
I'm glad to meet you.
What year are you?
What year am I?
I'm... twenty-four years old this year.
I'm not asking your human age.
By the way, where did your Pearl of Charm came from?
This... Mr. Helan gave it to me.
Lord Helan, personally gave it to you?
Shouldn't this be given to Qianhua?
Then, you and Helan are...
We are normal friends.
Why would Lord Helan give the Pearl of Charm to a normal friend?
Something bad happened to me earlier.
He said this charm could protect me so he gave it to me.
Don't misunderstand.
Looks like this year's plan is not happening again.
We already waited for more than one hundred years.
This time, it looks like we have to wait for ten years or more.
Waiter.
Since it's Helan's friend then
you're also our friend.
Nice to meet you.
I don't know how to drink.
This isn't alcohol. It's fruit juice.
I really can't drink anymore.
It's fruit juice.
I'm really happy.
I like you so much.
Come, come, come.
We have arranged a charity event for you next week.
We need some time...
Miss Fang, can I take a picture with you?
Sorry, this is a private party. It's a bit convenient.
It's alright.
Then, can I have an autograph?
We can do a autograph.
Do you have paper?
Then, what about a pen?
What about a pen?
Sorry.
Sorry for interrupting.
I am running out of booze.
Here, I'll pour some for you.
Here, cheers! Drink it up.
Drink!
Hurry! I'll hit your glass one more time.
Are you drinking it up?
Yes. You're a drinker.
Are you still alright?
I'm a bit dizzy. I can't keep on drinking anymore.
Lord Helan, is probably still busy.
How about this. You can go upstairs to my room and take a rest.
That won't be good, right?
What's inappropriate about it?
Let me tell you. This whole floor is my boyfriend's.
- Then, I'll trouble you. - I'll lend you a hand. Let's go, let's go.
Wow. Who is this that drank so much beer?
So, Fang Jingxue is also...
You have so much people.
Alright. It's just a signature. I know something that can definitely help you.
Zhao Kuanyong.
Why?
They used to know each other.
Fang Jingxue used to like Kuanyong.
- Xiaoju, actually— - Where's Pipi?
That's right. I haven't seen her for such a long time.
Wait for me.
Lord Helan, Miss Guan is doesn't feel well. Do you want to take a look at her?
- I'll go first. I'll come back soon. - Alright, alright.
- Go and get busy. - You sit.
Say, she's not familiar with this place so where would she go?
I don't see Lord Helan here either so don't worry.
- Xiaoju. - Huh?
I really have some words from my heart that I want to tell you about.
Can you help me look for Pipi first?
Don't worry. These are people we all know. Nothing will happen.
I know that these are people that you guys all know but...
After all, there's only the two of us that are...
Here. Kiss me.
What's wrong?
I'm going to look for Pipi.
Thanks.
It's so beautiful.
Miss Guan, are you alright?
I'm alright. What's wrong?
They told me just then that you were quite drunk...
Alright. If you're alright then rest first.
Sumei, open the door.
You guys have fun.
Sumei, open the door!
Don't be too overboard.
What's wrong? You can't open the door?
We've been trapped.
What?
I was so stupid. I forgot it's full moon tonight.
What's with full moon?
In our Fox Clan, there's a saying
foxes can only reproduce when it's full moon.
It's every ten years.
Also, there's under a condition.
What condition?
There's a condition where
...only after the lord priest does it first,
then the rest of the foxes can do it.
Miss Guan. Don't misunderstand me. I won't do anything to you.
They will let us out when the full moon night is over.
Then we have to wait till the morning?
Miss Guan. If you don't mind,
we can try to get closer.
Maybe they can feel it and they will let us out sooner.
How about this?
Maybe a little closer.
Are you trying to trick me?
How could I be tricking you?
How about now?
I don't think it's working.
In our life, some moments...
...are so special that we will never forget.
Maybe it's just a smile, a hug, or maybe...
...just the moment your eyes cross each other.
But it all happens so suddenly.
It's like any other ordinary moment in life.
It's just when that moment comes,
we will see it.
All of this,
was destined.
Miss Guan. Are you ok?
Miss Guan.
Miss Guan?
