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.
The Fox people noticed that the humans were becoming less friendly.
They had no choice but to hide their identities and blend in.

[Episode 7] [This story is fictional.]
Where did she run to?
Maybe towards the cliff.
- Go to the cliff. - Yes!
You follow me.
Don't let her get away!
You! Over there!
- Follow me - Don't be scared.
Take off your dress.
You have realgar on you. Their dogs will find you.
I'll distract them. Wait for me here.
She headed towards the cliff.
Wait for me.
Over there! Find her!
You're awake.
Do you know that?
Those silly dogs will lead them running up and down the hills all night.
Don't move.
The Northern Fox people were right.
We shouldn't get too close to humans.
I heard my mother was human.
But I never met her.
She gave me life.
And she died for it.
I was born blind.
I used to think that my life was meaningless.
That I should just die.
But then another human sacrificed herself to save me.
You're... Master Helan.
Yes.
So we can't judge anyone, whether they're human or fox.
Don't turn to hatred when you're hurt.
Give yourself a chance.
Ms. Qian Hua.
Ms. Wang is here again.
She's been here for days.
Should we...
She's just a human being.
We'll leave her be.
As you wish.
Jia Lin said that his interview is over. He'll be here soon.
What are you looking at?
Xiao Ju seems to like that guy over there.
Isn't that his girlfriend next to him?
Seems like it.
They were going to break up.
But then they reunited.
Xiao Ju would be sad to see them together.
Tian Xin, let's dance!
Come on, Pi Pi. Let's go dance.
I can't. You guys go ahead. I'll wait for Jia Lin.
We can dance while we wait.
You guys have fun. I'll stay here.
Xiao Ju? Is that her?
Why are you guys here?
We're having a farewell party.
You're having a farewell party here?
What about you, Pi Pi?
I'm waiting for Jia Lin.
Tian Xin, let's dance!
Xiao Ju, keep Pi Pi company.
We'll dance for a bit.
No... I'm busy.
Busy?
Why are you busy?
My friend's girlfriend is celebrating her birthday.
I'm here for fun.
Which friend?
Are you talking about Chen Nan?
How did you know?
He just walked by.
He's with a girl.
That's his girlfriend, right?
It's probably her.
Why are you looking at me like this?
Don't get involved with him again.
Just relax.
It's just a birthday party.
Wait for me here. I'll be back.
Stay with me, Xiao Ju.
I'm a little scared.
There are so many people here. What are you scared of?
Are you scared of being eaten by a fox?
I'll be back soon.
Sit here. Good girl.
Why are you two here?
What a coincidence, Ms. Guan!
You smelled my scent, and now you're here to catch me?
Ms. Guan, don't be delusional.
We're here for Xiao Ju.
Xiao Ju?
What do you want from her?
Is she with Chen Nan right now?
Yeah.
Where are they?
Over there.
Thank you.
- Why are you here? - Don't go.
I'm just helping a friend.
How is he a friend?
You're usually quite smart.
But you're acting like a pig for him.
How can a fox hate on a pig?
Let's go.
We're talking right now.
You guys talk.
What are you saying?
Can't you see he's using you?
Why can't he use me?
At least I'm useful.
Xin Xiao Ju!
I'm sorry.
What are you reading?
Just the news.
Who plays with his phone at a club?
- Are you by yourself? - Yes.
You must have a girlfriend.
What a nice guy!
Miss, do you have a boyfriend?
I... I am single.
How can a pretty girl like you be single?
What about you?
I happen to be single too.
How is a handsome guy like you single?
This is my WeChat.
Don't take advantage of others.
She's your friend.
You shouldn't use her like that.
You are being so rude.
That's enough.
You go ahead. I'll find you later.
Okay. I'll be waiting there.
Xiu Xian. What do you want?
You don't think I know?
You think I want to do this?
I was naive.
I was greedy and clueless.
I wanted something I couldn't have.
But now I understand.
So I'm here to end things.
I want to remember...
that I'm not worthy.
Pi Pi.
Jia Lin.
I've been looking for you all day.
I need to tell you something.
I have something to tell you too--
Jia Lin, you're here!
I have something to tell him.
I'll borrow him for a minute, Pi Pi.
Cheers!
Xiao Ju, over here.
This is Xiao Ju.
Happy birthday.
I was worried that you might have misunderstood us.
So I asked Xiao Ju to come and explain everything to you.
Right?
I actually don't know Chen Nan very well.
I see you guys arguing at my cafe all the time.
So I got this idea...
Do you have no life?
I was arguing with my boyfriend. It's none of your business.
You pretended to be his girlfriend.
Have you looked in a mirror?
Honestly, no man would like a girl like you!
That's enough.
Don't touch me.
"No man would like a girl like her?"
You look human but you don't speak like one.
Who are you?
I'm her boyfriend.
What?
Why? You don't have to be shy.
You already have a boyfriend.
And yet you harass Chen Nan.
You're shameless!
Say that again.
Lady.
Stop using such vicious words in front of my girlfriend.
Whose girlfriend is she?
We're both courting her right now.
But she hasn't decided on one of us yet.
- You're Chen Nan. - Yeah?
Our girlfriend is very kind.
She always does her best to help her friends.
But you keep taking advantage of her kindness.
We can't stand for that.
Please understand this.
She's a worthy girl.
You don't deserve her.
Look at me.
Don't bother her anymore.
Otherwise, we won't let it slide.
Okay.
By the way...
Some girl just told me that she was single. She gave me her WeChat.
"Vivian90018."
Do you recognize her handwriting?
Are you all right?
Thank you!
Isn't revenge sweet?
Now that I've used you...
I'll get you a sandwich.
- It's on you. - Great.
Don't you feel that Pi Pi is acting a bit strange today?
Let's not tell her now.
But we had a deal.
We agreed to tell her right away.
We can't lie to her.
You're right.
But I've never seen her like this.
It's almost like she's been cursed.
What? How can that happen?
I saw her touching a stranger's head.
That guy bowed to her afterwards.
It was so weird.
You're overreacting.
It's okay.
Let's not tell her today, okay?
All right. I'll take Pi Pi home then.
If she's not feeling well, she shouldn't be in a nightclub.
I'll come back for you afterwards.
Get away from me!
Ms. Guan.
- What do you want? - I don't mean you harm.
Why do you keep approaching me?
I told you I have a boyfriend.
Ms. Guan, listen to me.
Get away.
- Are you okay? - Jia Lin.
What do you want?
Can you hear me out, Ms. Guan?
She doesn't want to talk to you.
Back off.
I'm her boyfriend.
If you have something to say, say it to me.
Master Helan, you're scaring them.
Let's leave now.
Master Helan, it's too crowded here.
Let's leave quickly.
You're okay.
Sir...
Jia Lin.
I want to quit my job.
Why?
It's not working for me.
I don't want to interview people anymore.
I want to study English.
Okay.
Sir, let's go.
[What do foxes fear?]
[Foxes are afraid of realgar.] (Realgar is an arsenic sulfide mineral.)
I'm exhausted.
Hello?
Hello, Xiao Ju? Where are you?
Where else would I be? I'm at the cafe.
What about those two weird men?
How did you know they were here?
These two guys...
I mean, these two foxes...
They're here almost every day.
Wait for me. I'll be there soon.
Okay.
Stop coming here.
I'm tired of the sandwiches here.
Really? I like eating them.
Take three more servings. You'll be fine.
Miss, what do you need?
Do you have realgar?
Do you need it for yourself?
People get sick if they eat realgar.
No, it's not for eating.
I want to use it for a foot bath.
Can you get me some?
Wait a second.
Here you are.
I dropped something.
Carry on.
- Do you smell it? - Don't panic.
We don't know what's going on. Sit down.
Hello.
I want to ask you for a favor.
Can I sit down?
Will you guys ask Mr. Helan if wants to see me?
I need to talk to him.
What do you want to tell him?
Ms. Guan, what are you trying to do?
What's in your bag?
How did you know?
I... I don't...
You don't what?
- Explain yourself. - Ms. Guan.
I want you to understand.
The thing in your bag is very bad for Master Helan.
He trusted you with his true identity.
He doesn't mean you any harm.
He'd never hurt you.
Do you have to do this?
I'm just really scared.
I ran into many strange people and strange things.
I want to protect myself.
Don't worry.
I won't harm him.
Can you invite him out for me?
I have something important to tell him.
I apologize, Ms. Guan.
We have our responsibilities.
We can't let you see him.
Maybe we should let Master Helan decide.
Kuan Yong!
Please tell him that I want to buy him lunch.
I'll be at Muyu Villa right next door.
Okay.
Thanks.
The money is on the table.
Pi Pi, what did you talk about?
Why did they leave?
It's nothing.
Kuan Yong.
What about this outfit? Is it good?
I don't think it's good.
What's wrong with it?
Is the color wrong?
Or is the size wrong?
The timing is wrong.
Master Helan, I think the timing is wrong.
What timing?
Ms. Guan doesn't understand you. She doesn't understand any of us.
In addition, her mental state is a bit off.
She suddenly wants to see you.
I don't think it's the best time to solve problems.
Kuan Yong.
I looked for so long.
I finally met her again.
I always thought we were meant to be.
But I think I was wrong.
She doesn't have to love me.
Because of this misconception...
I haven't worked much for the relationship.
She did so much for me.
She sacrificed so much.
If I avoid her because she might misunderstand me, it won't go anywhere.
I'm going to work for her.
Even if she doesn't change her mind in the end...
at least I'll have no regrets.
Right?
Let's go.
Master Helan...
Say no more. I have decided.
Your zipper.
It's more comfortable this way.
Ms. Guan, sorry for the wait.
How'd you know I was sitting here?
I forgot.
You planted your aroma on me.
You don't know what planting aroma means.
You said lunch was on you.
Right.
I'll order then.
Waiter.
Hello.
Here are your menus.
Thank you.
I'm sorry. I can't see.
Could you tell me about your specials for today?
We have roasted pigeon with caviar.
The lamb chop is great.
The steak is great too.
- I'll have one of each. - Okay.
I'll get the small portion for you.
I'm sorry. Can you do a half serving here?
Sorry. We can only do small portions.
What about vegetables and seafood?
The shrimp with fresh vegetables and asparagus is good.
I recommend the grilled salmon for seafood.
- I'll have one of each. - Great.
What else do you need?
That's all.
I thought you didn't eat human food.
I don't. I ordered them for you.
I'll place the orders for you now.
Excuse me.
Could you blend these for me?
You can add some ice water and honey.
- Thank you. - Of course.
Sir, this is your special drink.
Thank you.
Ms. Guan, eat while it's hot.
It's only realgar. Don't be this dramatic.
Mr. Helan.
I want to talk to you.
Go ahead.
Why did you plant aroma on me?
Do you know me?
Planting aroma is a ritualistic courtesy.
It means that I respect you.
What about this Pearl of Charms?
What does this mean?
Why can't I take it off?
That's my gift to you.
It means that I like you.
And I hope you'll like me back.
I can't accept this gift then.
I told you, I have a boyfriend.
I know.
You don't have to remind me.
I just want to know...
Why do you keep approaching me?
I'm doing this for your happiness.
I am happy.
That's only temporary.
What does that mean?
You brought realgar with you today.
Do you want to hurt me?
Are you afraid of realgar?
Will you turn into your original form?
Do you want to give it a try?
No... No...
I just want you to take back your pearl.
And leave me alone.
Are you really that afraid of me?
What are you doing?
Waiter!
Do you have a first-aid kit?
Is this what you wanted?
I want to protect you, so I planted the aroma and gave you the pearl.
So I can find you when you're in need.
I can take it back if you don't want it.
But do you think I don't feel pain?
There's a line between two people.
It's invisible.
Like the boundary between two nations.
As long as you don't cross it...
you'll be fine.
I'm her boyfriend.
But that line is right there.
You can see it clearly.
But you might still cross it with just one move or one word.
You started a war.
You ended the peace.
Sir, please come in.
Qian Hua, your guest is here.
I didn't think there would be a day when you'd invite me to your place.
It's translucent.
And fragrant.
Just like you.
How refreshing!
Tell me.
What do you need from me?
I want to visit the north.
The north?
That cold and barren place?
Why?
Master Helan wants me to visit Master Qing Mu on his behalf.
The southern and northern tribes haven't been in contact for years.
I hope you'll assist me.
Can I borrow your Northern Fox Order?
Qian Hua.
That is a terrible excuse.
I know A Xi's temper very well.
They haven't spoken in years.
I don't think I was able to persuade him to visit his dad last time.
Fine.
Stop beating around the bush.
Tell me what he wants you to do.
Sacrifice humans and take their livers.
The ancient ritual was abolished long ago because of its cruelty.
Master Qing Mu used the ritual to cure A Xi's eyes.
Most of the details remain unknown.
Really?
I found some of the Fox Clan's old records.
They mentioned the ritual.
But there are parts that I can't understand.
I need the elders of Northern Tribe to assist me.
But I don't want to force my way into the north.
I don't want to cause any unnecessary trouble.
If I help you, what's in it for me?
What do you want?
"What do I want?"
Don't you know the answer?
We can discuss other conditions.
I don't want anything else.
Helan Jing Ting...
What did he do to deserve you?
I just want to help him.
I've heard that reason so many times.
You even lower yourself to speak to me, just to help him.
Maybe you're great enough to help your rival in love.
But I can't do that.
