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 10] [This story is fictional.]
Hui Yan!
My father told me that my medicine is almost ready.
I'll be able to see very soon.
I want you to be the first person I see.
I told you I was ugly.
You won't like me.
It's best you don't see my face.
There are 12 petals on the fox flower.
The flower bloomed within a year.
Anyone marked by this flower
won't live past the age of 25.
A Xi.
Finish the drink.
Thank you, Father.
Father!
Father, where is Hui Yan?
Where is she?
You should forget about Shen Hui Yan from this day forth.
Father...
I don't understand.
Where is she?
You will never see her again.
Why?
She agreed to marry me.
She is my wife. She said we'd never be apart.
Shut up.
I'll tell you again.
You'll never see her again.
She wasn't your wife.
She was just your guiding drug.
Helan Jing Ting.
From now on...
You are my heir.
I hope you will learn the way of our ancestors.
So that you may lead Fox Clan someday
and become a wise ruler.
Let go! Let go of me!
Forget about that human woman!
Do what you're meant to do!
Let go of me!
Song.
Stand back.
Why did you do that?
You knew I loved her!
She was just a drug.
A drug to make you see again.
Then why did you ask her to marry me?
Why did you have us grow up together?
I just want to tell you.
Never fall in love with a human being.
Hui Yan!
You can finally see.
Forgive me.
I won't be seeing things with you.
Hui Yan...
Hui Yan!
Hui Yan...
You're awake.
I'm really laughable right now, aren't I?
Get some water.
You were sweating so much.
What did I do wrong?
Did I do anything wrong?
You didn't do anything wrong.
They didn't do anything wrong either.
Sometimes, there is no right or wrong.
Can you eat me?
I can.
But it's not time yet.
When will it be time then?
When you fall in love with me.
I'm afraid that won't happen.
I don't think I'll love anyone again.
A mysterious lord...
A cold female CEO...
The doctors...
A mysterious man.
He has superpowers.
What is the missing piece?
Sorry, miss. Can't you see that beautiful people like us tend to stay together?
Ms. Guan.
Mr. Helan has been waiting for you.
Please follow me.
Would it be hard to find fried dumplings?
Trust me...
Are you messing with me?
Pi Pi told me that she didn't get any useful information from Helan Jing Ting.
She has also quit.
I don't know where she went.
Instead of looking for her...
You should keep your eyes on Helan and Qian Hua.
People in our field all know this...
Sometimes you can dig up something really important.
But it could be bad for the interviewees.
Especially the rich and powerful ones... They would reach a personal agreement.
I think it's possible that Guan Pi Pi has learned something important...
- Wang Xuan! - So she...
You can't make up things like that.
You need proof.
Editor, tell me.
Why did Guan Pi Pi suddenly quit?
Because... Because of personal reasons.
Xiao Yu told me that her boyfriend is going to America.
Guan Pi Pi's family can't possibly afford her trip to America.
Are you implying that she fell into Helan's trap?
Did Guan Pi Pi turn in her interviewing devices?
Xuan, here's another one.
Did anyone use this recording pen after her?
No. People find it to be too much work.
They use their own phones for interviews.
It's against the rules.
Okay. I'll take a look.
Thanks!
Hey, Xuan.
- You need to sign here. - Just sign it for me.
I can just go home. There's no need to walk me out.
You must take care of yourself.
Don't worry about me.
Hello?
Ms. Guan. This is Theme Restaurant.
We want to confirm your dinner reservation for Chinese Valentine's Day.
It's Chinese Valentine's Day today?
Yes.
I'm sorry. Can I cancel the reservation?
We are so sorry.
Because it's a holiday, we'll still have to charge your card 1,000 if you cancel.
So... You can ask your friend to come.
Pi Pi, have some noodles.
I actually felt it since long ago.
I always asked myself when I was with Jia Lin...
"Why does he like me?"
I'm so dumb.
I'm quite poor.
If we hadn't been childhood friends...
he might've never noticed me.
You're dumb and poor.
But that's not why he doesn't like you anymore.
I'm not good enough for him.
Unlike Tian Xin...
She's smart and talented.
She speaks English so well.
She's the best candidate for going to America with Jia Lin.
I'd only be a burden if I went with him.
You can't think like that.
Do you know?
When we were in high school...
No one in my class wanted to talk to me.
But Tian Xin wanted to be my friend.
I guessed that Jia Lin would leave me.
I just didn't guess that he'd choose Tian Xin.
Pi Pi.
Everyone experiences heartbreak.
But we all live through it.
You have to believe that you'll live through this.
You'll meet someone else.
What if he never shows up?
Even if he doesn't show up, you still need to eat the noodles.
Just one bite. Good girl!
I can't eat right now.
Never mind then.
Will you have some soup at least?
Come on.
You don't know how I feel.
I do know.
I really liked that guy.
Which guy?
The one that used to come to my cafe. I said I didn't like him...
But he doesn't like me.
I have to let him go.
Pi Pi, you're very fortunate.
You grew up with Tao Jia Lin.
Even if he doesn't love you anymore, he still cares about you.
You think he still cares about me?
Of course!
If you were in danger, he'd rush here to help you.
How come he didn't show up to help me last night then?
He didn't know about that.
If he had known, he would've definitely rushed there to see you.
All right, Pi Pi.
Sleep some more and have some food.
I must go to work now.
I'll come see you when I get off.
Good girl, don't make me worry for you.
Have some food!
I'm off then.
I'm sorry!
Are you all right?
I'm okay.
- What's this for? - Your camera.
It's not your fault. I bumped into you.
You'll need to spend money to buy a new one. I have too much money.
Hey, wait.
- Can you tell me your number? - There's no need.
I gave you that check to save you the trouble.
You can use the leftover money to buy some better shoes.
So you won't slip in the future.
Maybe Jia Lin's love for me is long gone.
Maybe Tian Xin's friendship wasn't pure.
But...
They're the coolest friends
who helped me through the darkest three years of my life.
Why are these gloves so expensive?
Miss...
We're just running a small business.
I can't even make five yuan.
- It's pretty cheap already. - You sell something this cheap for 50.
You're basically stealing.
How can you talk like that?
If these are too expensive for you, you can go somewhere else.
You'll always be a street vendor.
What did you say?
You don't have to buy them. Why do you have to yell?
- Who sells things like this? - Go somewhere else then. Leave me alone.
Just go away now.
- Pi Pi! - Yeah?
Isn't that Mr. Guan?
I'm just selling gloves here.
- My dad... - Let's go help your dad out.
Mr. Guan.
- Let us help you! - Hello, Mr. Guan!
Dad...
These are so pretty.
Come take a look!
Nice earmuffs.
We have gloves too.
They're warm and fashionable. Only for 20 yuan!
Take a look at this scarf!
These gloves go with that scarf.
Come take a look!
These suit you so well.
- This is good. - How much are these?
It's only 50.
They won't check us in for another hour.
Are you hungry? Let's get some food.
Jia Lin.
Jia Lin?
What's going on?
Are you thinking about Pi Pi?
No.
Everything happened so fast.
None of us were prepared for that.
Let's give Pi Pi some time.
When we come back from America
we'll explain everything to her.
Tian Xin...
You worked so hard.
Now you have to fly all the way there with me.
It's okay.
I'll buy some food for you.
Wait for me here.
I'm sorry.
Hello.
[Jia Lin, I can't live without you.]
We're both going to America.
[Have a safe flight.]
Thank you.
Okay. Thank you.
Miss. Where are you going?
Take me to No. 56 Xianting Road.
Okay.
Thanks.
What's wrong?
No. It's nothing.
- Let's go. - Let's go.
I'm sorry.
I keep troubling you.
It's no trouble at all.
My original plan for today was...
I'll do it for you.
Are you not going to ask what I want you to do?
I'll do anything for you.
Hold onto me.
Be careful.
This way.
Welcome!
Mr. Helan...
- Can you wait here? - Okay.
I want to try this dress on.
Do you have them in a small?
- Okay. Just a second. - Thanks.
Ms. Guan.
I'll buy it for you.
No. No.
I want to buy this dress myself.
Here.
Thank you.
Where are you heading now?
We're almost there.
Wait. The light turned red.
Be careful!
Can we walk now, Ms. Guan?
Oh! Walk carefully.
You're so sweet.
You came to the salon with your girlfriend.
What's a salon?
It's a place to make girls more beautiful.
You can sit here for now.
This way, please.
Is there anything you don't eat?
- No. - You're allergic to seafood!
I made that up last time.
You made me mad.
So...
Then we'll have the chef's special today.
Okay.
Here is some tea for you.
Can we get a glass water instead?
He doesn't drink tea.
Of course. Be right back.
I'm sorry.
I asked you to come and have dinner with me.
That's okay. We never had a good time together before.
Maybe I can make it up to you.
But I don't want you to take this the wrong way.
Don't worry, I won't.
Hello. This is for you.
Please enjoy.
What's wrong?
Is it not good?
It is good.
I feel a little weird, being the only one eating.
It's like something is missing.
I thought you didn't eat human food.
It's fine.
I'll eat it for you.
You should have more.
Sir, here is your water.
This is our lover's set for today.
Please enjoy.
You should have more.
Thank you.
Excuse me. I need to use the restroom.
It's late.
Let me walk you home, Ms. Guan.
Do you know what day it is today?
The seventh day of the seventh month.
Time sure does flies.
Yeah.
I didn't know why they called it Valentine's Day when I was a kid.
My mom told me the story of the cowherd and the weaver girl.
I felt so bad for the weaver girl.
When I grew up, I finally understood the story.
Although they can only see each other once a year...
they're lucky to be able to see the one they love once a year.
So today is Valentine's Day for humans.
Buy your girlfriend some flowers today.
They are so pretty!
I'll take this one.
- How is it? - Great!
- Here you go. - Thank you!
Welcome.
They smell so good!
- Do you like them? - Yes!
Take a look.
Thank you! Come again next time!
Ms. Guan...
This is for you.
Thank you!
Mr. Helan.
Will you do me another favor?
Of course!
Do you know?
You can get the best view of the city from this ferris wheel.
Isn't it beautiful?
Yes.
Do you come here often?
It's my first time here.
I always thought I'd come here with someone I like.
It would be a waste to see this view alone.
So I stopped myself from coming.
Hoping that I'll come with someone I love on a special day.
But some views are probably not meant to be shared.
I'm sorry.
I disappointed you.
Not at all.
I should say sorry to you.
What's wrong?
Do you feel sick?
I'm a little afraid of the heights.
Is it better now?
If you can't share the view with someone, maybe you don't have to see it.
I listened to a song once.
The lyrics went "Life is an unexpected surprise that happened to you..."
"When you were busy making other plans."
We're used to planning our lives.
But life is filled with surprises.
Life often catches you by surprise.
Then suddenly, you notice that your life has been changing, little by little.
Mr. Helan.
Can you throw this letter away for me?
You shouldn't throw it away if you are hesitant.
Will you help me one last time?
Can you read the letter to me?
To the future Pi Pi...
I like going to school with you.
I like running with you.
I like watching movies with you.
I like playing games with you.
I like doing all sorts of things with you.
Because you're the most beautiful, most kind, and most adorable girl I've met.
When we grow up...
Will you marry me?
I'll never lie to you.
I'll never let you down.
This way, we'll be together forever.
- Class 6 of 5th grade. Tao Jia Lin. - You can stop there.
Mr. Helan, I am sorry.
I shouldn't have asked so much of you today.
Can I help you with anything else?
That is all.
Thank you so much for today.
Ms. Guan.
The umbrella.
I don't need it.
